Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept dogs on site?
We do indeed!
However; There is a lot of wildlife on and around the campsite so we request that dogs are kept on a lead at all times. I'm sure it goes without saying but they must be cleaned up after too!
We do allow dogs into our Pixie huts, Bell Tents, Hay Cart and Rent-a-Tents also.
£4 per stay peak season
FREE off season
Do you allow group bookings?
Yes, small group bookings of up to 5 pitches together are allowed - any larger groups goes against our booking terms.
We do not accept stag do's, hen do's or large single sex groups.
