Booking on the campsite

Bookings are required for all campers using the button below – day visitors book from our Day Visits page. The campsite closes for winter between October 31st and mid March.

Our campsite is mainly for tents on green grass – vehicles are parked around the camping fields behind big stones but not always next to the tent. They must be unoccupied. Vehicles over 6m long may NOT be parked around the camping fields.

Occupied vehicles (motorhomes and vans) must be booked into van bays, which are separate from the tents; see details below. Be aware ours is not a developed motorhome park but is natural and therefore sometimes more muddy.

Please include all guests with your booking. If we get full you may not be able to add more later, although do check availability as we have cancellations.  A request may be added to a booking – eg, for a specific bay – but we may not be able to fulfil this, particularly at busy times. Bookings of more than 15 people will not be accepted and only small groups may pitch together on site; if there is a group of more than 15 people it will be split up.  If, for example, on checking tent tags, a booking is found to be dishonest (eg, undeclared guests, dogs or extras), you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund.

A booking for the wrong pitch type is not valid (eg, booking an oversize campervan into small van bays). Except for the unallocated tent pitches, all bays have a minimum charge for two adults. A non-refundable £5 fee is applied to each booking. The following is the appropriate type of booking to make if you have a:

  1. tent and don’t want an electric hookup (EHU), book an Unallocated tent pitch, either with or without a car. A daily fee will be added for ‘with car’ as you book. Multiple tents can be included in an unallocated tent booking, but no more than 15 people can pitch together as this can disturb other campers, see Groups for details. Your car will not always be parked next to your tent. Vans over 6m are not accepted as “cars” with tents.
  2. tent and want electric hookup then choose either a Small/medium tent with EHU if your tent will fit in a grass bay 5 x 7m, or Large tent with EHU if your tent is larger but less than 8 x 10m. Tents bigger than 8 x 10m cannot be accommodated with EHU (but can be booked into Unallocated tent pitch). Only one tent may be included on a bay. Note: the small/medium bays are at the front of the site near the lake, the large bays are at the back.
  3. motorhome or large van 5.5m to 8m long, may ONLY book a Large van no awning, lakeside bay; these all have EHU. Only side pull-out awnings up to 1.5 m wide are permitted, not stand-alone ones. Tents may not be pitched on or next to these bays. The bays, which have a gravel surface with grass nearby, are side by side near the lakefront. Vans accepted include VW Crafters, Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinters, Fiat Ductatos, and must be single axle only. There are only 6 of these bays, so book well in advance.
  4. small van up to 5.5m long and less than 3 tons weight, book a Small van or roof tent bay with or without EHU: all vans must be parked on the bay’s hard standing or reinforced grass, NEVER ACROSS the hard standing or on grass. Accepted vans include short or long wheel-based VW Transporter campervans T4, T5, T6, Mazda Bongos, or Vauxhall Vivaros and short wheel-based only of Mercedes Sprinters, Ford Transits and Fiat Ducatos. For long wheel-based versions of these vans choose a large van bay instead.
  5. small van and want to stay at the lakeside, book a Large van no awning, lakeside bay; please note, you will pay a large vehicle charge and have EHU. You may use a small fold-out awning here, but no stand-alone awnings or tents are allowed in the large van bays.

Please note

  • Roof tents and tent boxes cannot be booked as unallocated tents. These can only be booked on a Small van or roof tent bay with or without EHU, but ONLY if the roof tent sits on the vehicle without awnings on both sides (because these require the vehicle to be sideways on the bay). These cannot however be booked as a small van can, in a lakeside large van bay.  Large roof tents or tent boxes with attached awnings to both sides are not accepted at the campsite.
  • Awnings or small pup tents can be booked as an extra on a Small van or roof tent bay, but it must fit with your vehicle on a 7m-wide bay, and not require the van to be off the hard standing. Up to 5 people are allowed in a small van bay.
  • Other extras: a daily fee is charged for a trailer, an additional car, unoccupied tents (incl. a gazebo) and/or a dog. (Please note, not every extra is available for every bay type.)
  • Small light trailer tents no more than 1.8m wide that can be hand pushed between rocks on the field may book as Unallocated tent pitch.
  • Caravans and large trailer tents are no longer accepted on the campsite.

Arrive from 2 pm, depart by 11 am unless you have an unallocated tent booking and purchase early check-in or late check-out as an Extra. Early check-in allows you to arrive before 2 pm (but not earlier than 9 am) and even if you can’t pitch your tent before 11 am, you can park then leave for the day. Late check-out allows you to stay later than 11.00 am, but you must leave before 6 pm or will charged another night. No early check-in is available for van and EHU bays.

Weekend bookings in school holidays are for 2 nights, 3 nights for bank holidays. Near the arrival date we may allow single night bookings for these days if there is still availability, so check the booking system.

Confirmation: An email is sent to you when your booking is received: if this says your booking is Confirmed then you are booked in to our campsite and your card has been charged. If the email says your booking is On Request then you are not booked in and nothing has been charged to your card and  we will try to move other bookings around to fit yours in; we will send you another email with a link for payment if this is possible, or will let you know if we can’t accommodate your booking. For all our emails please check your spam folder as unfortunately many of our emails end up there.  If you think you have booked but have not received a confirmation email, please contact us

Bookings cannot be made on the day of arrival.

CANCELLATION POLICY:  No refunds for cancellations or moving booking dates less than 14 days before arrival. We do not give refunds because of bad weather as this is out of our control. If you want the flexibility to cancel for bad weather, please take out your own travel insurance.
