CARAVAN ABLE Angie, who is a life long camper and caravanner, founded this site. She, and her husband Tim Gardiner, have a disabled son who is a wheelchair user and they became so frustrated regarding the lack of information about facilities for the disabled on caravan sites that Angie decided to produce this website. It has a directory of caravan parks with good disabled facilities. www.caravanable.co.uk

DIABABLED-FRIENDLY CARAVAN PARK Fold House Caravan Park and the surrounding land have been in the same family for six generations. Our prestigious award-winning Park is situated in 35 acres of privately owned land of outstanding natural beauty and contrasts, set in a quiet rural location along the South Coast of the Morecambe Bay and South Lakeland. Fold House Caravan Park has been carefully developed over the last 50 years into a picturesque rural setting surrounded by mature trees and is fully landscaped for everyone to enjoy. The park is for private owners only. "We have made the park totally disabled friendly, new offices, toilets, shower and work out room (nearing completion), all disabled friendly. Park is flat and ideal for wheelchairs." Says Mr T Carter, the proprietor. www.foldhouse.co.uk

DIABABLED-FRIENDLY CARAVAN PARK During our last 12 years of ownership, we have welcomed many disabled visitors to our lovely park, even though we have not provided the most suitable facilities to enable them to get the very best out of their stay. This year we are now able to offer brand new facilities to enable our disabled visitors better access to our park. We have a new amenity block with seperate diabled toilet and shower facility. We have created hardstanding pitches with smooth pathways to enable the less able bodied to access these with ease. We are currently widening the doors to our cafe and shop to enable ALL of our visitors to make the very best of all of our facilities. We are very concious of the discrimination that disabled persons can face, but at Warcombe we assure all that here you will recieve the same warm welcome that everyone desreves. We are always available to answer queries and provide any assitance you may need. Warcombe Farm Camping Park, North Devon Click Here for details..
