Set in more than 130 acres between the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland, Bowland Fell Park is a countryside holiday park run by Park Holidays UK, and there is no camping here: accommodation means hire caravans, luxury lodges, apartments and a four bedroom cottage rather than tent or touring pitches. The park lies at Tosside near Skipton in North Yorkshire, with the villages of Malham and Clapham under half an hour away and the Forest of Bowland's walking and cycling country on the doorstep. Stays suit families and couples after a serviced base in the Dales rather than campers, and holiday home ownership plots are sold on the park as well. Life centres on the Crowtrees Inn, a refurbished 17th century pub that opens all year with a dog friendly area, outdoor terrace and takeaway service, joined by a heated indoor pool that opened in April 2026, a shop, children's play area, launderette, EV charge points and a nature trail through the grounds; note that the whole park is cashless. Bowland Fell opens for holidays from 7 March to 3 November, with prices quoted through the Park Holidays booking system.
Can I camp or bring a touring caravan to Bowland Fell Park?
No, the accommodation at Bowland Fell Park is all static: hire caravans, luxury lodges, apartments and a four bedroom cottage booked through Park Holidays UK. Tents, tourers and motorhomes are not listed among the park's holiday options, so campers should pick another site in the area.
Is Bowland Fell Park dog friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome at the park: the Crowtrees Inn restaurant has a dedicated dog friendly area and Park Holidays UK sells pet friendly breaks. Confirm the pet terms for your chosen caravan or lodge at the time of booking, as not every unit accepts dogs.
When is Bowland Fell Park open?
The park is open for holidays from 7 March to 3 November each season. The 17th century Crowtrees Inn on the park trades all year round, with reduced hours from October to March, and the whole park is cashless so card payment is essential.
Does Bowland Fell Park have a swimming pool?
Yes, a heated indoor swimming pool opened at the park in April 2026. Swimming is free for guests but sessions must be booked on arrival, and set adult to child supervision ratios apply by age group whenever no lifeguard is on duty.
Where is Bowland Fell Park?
