Many campsites no longer allow groups but as long as the groups who do come don’t cause a problem for other campers we’re happy to welcome them. Having said that, we have found in the past that, inevitably, the larger the group, the more noise they make: This can easily overwhelm individuals, couples, families, and those who have come to relax and unwind and is partly why we now only allow small groups. For us, this means a maximum of 6 pitches, whether this be just tents or a mixture of tents, campervans, log pods and bell tents.
Please take our 6 family limit seriously
Do not try to exceed this limit by booking independently – when we discover that more than 6 families have booked in who are clearly part of the same group, either during the booking process or on arrival at the campsite, all the bookings will be cancelled. Camping fees will not be refunded.
It therefore probably goes without saying that if you’re looking for a location for a school year group, noisy birthday, stag or hen party, then this is not the site for you.
Even with a small group, noise levels can rise easily, particularly when gathered around a campfire in the evenings, so we ask you to be aware of this and mindful of others on the campsite, especially after 9pm and before 8am in the morning.
Each family will need to submit their own booking request, agree to the campsite code and pay their pitch fees etc, however, before they do that you’ll want to know if we can accommodate your group as a whole so, here’s how to enquire:
This is a small campsite and we take great care to avoid overcrowding. It is therefore essential to include the information we need to achieve this when provisionally reserving additional pitches for your group: You’ll need to include the same details for their tents as you have for your own so please check with your friends and make sure you have details for all tents and campervans in your group before submitting your booking request.
Here’s how to book it…
For tents we’ll need the make, model, number, XL, DLX etc (eg Vango Capri 500 XL) and the size of any extension they would like to add to their tent.
For campervans we’ll need the make and model of the campervan plus the make and model of any awning they would like to use so please check these details with each family when you’re discussing your holiday plans. Please also note that we only accept small SWB (short wheel base) campervans, such as the old VW’s or Bongos, not LWB (long wheel base) campervans, conversions or motorhomes. Max length 5m
It’s important that the information you provide at this stage is correct: If you reserve a pitch for your friends and they subsequently submit details for a larger tent or campervan, chances are we won’t be able to accommodate them and that would be a shame.
- Start by completing a booking request for your family, that way we’ll have all the details for booking your own pitch.
- When you have completed your own pitch details, you’ll find an option to provisionally reserve/’pencil in’ additional pitches for your friends whether that be a log pod, furnished bell tent, campervan or tent pitch. At this stage we just need their name and tent/campervan details.
- When you’ve completed this, submit your form. (Please don’t leave the page until you receive a message saying that you booking request as been received, otherwise the information you have entered will be lost and you’ll have to start again. This may take a couple of minutes – please be patient)

Once we have received your booking request:
-
- We’ll look at the details for your pitch and the additional pitches you’ve asked us about and confirm with you whether we can accommodate your group.
If we are able to say ‘yes’ to your group:
-
- You then need to ask your friends to visit our website to submit their own booking request with their contact details, number of adults and children etc. You’ll need to ask them to mention that they are submitting their family details for a pitch provisionally reserved by you so that we can tie up their requests with your group.
