Even the most seasoned camper should read the below FAQ’s, these answers will give you the best idea of what to expect and will ensure you have a fantastic stay with us.
What days are you open for Camping and Glamping?
We are open for Camping from the first weekend of May, 3rd – 5th and then every weekend from the 24th May – 26th July. We are then also open every day from 1st – 31st August. Bell Tent, Glamping and Cabin hire are only available on weekends with stays on Friday and Saturday nights (other than bank holiday weekend where we are then open until Monday and summer holidays all week). Off-peak and peak rates apply.
What does ‘Open Pitch Campsite’ mean?
Open Pitch Campsite means we do not book you in to a specific pitch. Campers can pitch up wherever they like in our Camping Field. We do not give you a designated pitch. You are welcome to pitch up where you like, making sure you keep at least 6 paces between yourselves and other campers as well as any facilities; this is for the comfort of guests as well as fire safety.
If you would like your own space then select 'Private Section of Camping Field' at the booking extras stage, this will get you your very own area set out with posts and bunting, just for your party! Prices start from £25 and increase for proportionately larger groups.

What if I want to stay with a group?
We cannot guarantee that groups will be able to pitch up together. We advise that you book a ‘Private Section of Camping Field’ if you want to be together.
To create a Group Booking, you have two options:
- One member of the group can create the booking for everyone, and add the Private Area to their booking.
- Each member of the group can book individually. One member of the group will need to be the ‘Lead Booker’ and create their booking first, making sure they have a Private Area added to their booking. The rest of the group will then need to create their bookings and add the booking ID of the lead booker next to their name when finalising their booking. The lead booker can then email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with their booking ID so we can find everyone who is staying in their group. We can then work out how much the Private Area will be for the group. We can then add this on to one
booking, or split it between all bookings.
If you need assistance when creating a Group Booking, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and one of our Camping Team will assist you.
Are Campfires allowed?
Campfires are allowed and are made on the ground near your tent. If you wish to have a campfire you must have purchased 'Campfire Permission' prior to your booking. If you have not already done this and wish to do so, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we can add this to your booking for you. On arrival you will be given a red fire bucket. Please ensure this is always full of water and near your campfire.
