Other info
Staff will be available at all times and will be onsite to help ensure that everyone has an enjoyable weekend. All campers are asked to read and agree to our camping code: in summary, if loud music and large amounts of alcahol are going to be a key part or your weekend then sorry but we are not the right site for you.
Fire pits are available to rent for the weekend and we sell good quality FSC hardwood, or you are welcome to bring your own pit and wood (all firepits must be raised off the ground so as not to damage the grass). To ensure all have a fun and safe weekend, anyone renting or bringing a fire pit will be asked to sign and agree to our simple campfire code.
BBQs are welcome but no disposable BBQs please.
In order to minimise disturbance to other campers please aim to arrive by 2230 - after this time we may not let you pitch (and so may have to turn you away) as your arrival is likely to inconvenience other guests.
