Weather
Please keep your eye on the weather and pack for all conditions. Although we do all we can to maintain our pitches, please remember if it has rained heavily the grass may be muddy.
The Kitchen
The on site kitchen is for you to wash up your dishes. There is also a washing machine dryer, and a microwave. Please follow instructions for use so that settings that last for ‘hours’ don’t prevent others from using the facilities. Do not wash cooking fat down the sink, this will cause blockages, scrape instead into the general waste bin. Please close the door to the kitchen after use.
Refuse
Rubbish should be put into the bins provided in the camp kitchen or car park bin area. Nappies should be bagged before disposal in the general waste bin. Do not leave any refuse bags outside on your pitch and make sure the area is kept tidy. Plastic bottles and cans should be crushed before putting in the bin.
If larger items are damaged e.g. camping chairs, airbeds, tents, cardboard boxes please take these home with you.
Use the recycle bins for glass, cans & cardboard
Safety
Children must be supervised at all times. This is particularly important along our riverbanks and around BBQ’s etc. No cycling on the campsite after dark. There is a playing field in the village with a large field and play equipment, should your children wish to play ball games, fly kites etc. Use a torch when going to the facilities at night time and be careful of tent guy ropes and steps. No climbing on gates/fencing and be careful of hedging /tree stakes.
Speed Limit on the site is 5mph. Smoking or vaping is not permitted in any building on site. Breakages please report any breakages, defects or failures to a member of staff as soon as noticed. Drones are not permitted anywhere on site. Metal detecting is not permitted anywhere on site.
Dark Skies. We are lucky to be in an area with relatively low levels of light pollution, and have great visibility of the night sky on a clear night. While you are welcome to decorate your tent with fairy lights or solar lights near the entrance, please make sure these are turned off by 11pm.
No flashing lights please. Turn off the lights on in the facility buildings after use. Remember your torch so you can walk round safely at night.
Day-to-day please comply with any verbal or written directions by campsite staff.
Fire Safety and general safety
Fire safety equipment is positioned at various places on the campsite, please see familiarise yourself with the site plan and Fire Notice in the camp kitchen.
Tents should be a minimum of 6m apart from each other.
Fire pits/BBQs Firepits are available to rent and you will need to purchase logs obtained from a sustainable source on the campsite. The fire pit must stay well away from the tent and consider if the wind will blow smoke/embers straight into yours or other guests areas. Do not position near to any fencing, shrubs or tents. If it’s windy or extremely dry, don’t light a fire.
Do not leave fires unattended or allow children too close. Be immediately aware of sparks and any threats of fire spreading, use the water bucket supplied if necessary.
No foraging or burning of “found wood” on the surrounding areas, pallets/waste wood is not permitted. Douse with water when leaving the pitch or going to bed. Never light a fire or cook in your tent.
Allow the firepit to cool down overnight before emptying ash into the special ash bin in the car park. Scorched pitch surfaces may be subject to a small charge to pay for re-seeding. All fires/cooking is at your own risk.
Disposable BBQs are not permitted on site, no exceptions.
Safe use of lights/lamps do not use naked flame lights, candles, paper lanterns anywhere on site.
We can accept no responsibility for any accident, loss or damage to any persons or property on this Park, however caused.
