Hardstanding pitches
A firm base for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, trailer tents and tents, with 16A / 240V electric hook-up included in the pitch price.
Camping pods
Four basic camping pods offer a warmer, insulated and more stable shelter than a tent. This is camping, not glamping: there are no beds, so bring your camping mats or mattresses, bedding and most of your usual camping cooking equipment.
Each has a carpeted floor, folding table, two folding chairs, twin electric socket, USB socket, heating and lighting, plus a picnic table/bench outside.

Important to know
Green toilet chemicals are mandatory
Approved green/eco toilet fluid is mandatory for cassette toilets and portable toilets. Our campsite has its own sewage treatment plant. Standard blue toilet chemical must not be used because it can damage the plant. Green toilet chemical is sold on site at cost price.
Accepted green/eco products: Thetford (approved green/eco fluid only); Elsan Organic — not Elsan Green; Kampa Green; Dometic Green; Solbio; Blue Diamond Nature Calls; Wessex Chemicals BlueBio.
Bringing a caravan or larger motorhome?
Do not rely on SatNav for the final approach. Some local roads are unsuitable for towing vehicles and larger motorhomes. Follow the safe route in the Pre-Arrival Guide sent with your booking confirmation.
On arrival, observe the “Stop Here” sign and park to the left-hand side of the main Reception driveway. Telephone us if you are unsure.
