Additional Information
Notes for guests
Customers: In order to stay at the site you need to be a National Trust member or Camping and Caravanning Club member.
Facilities: There are no toilets or showers so you'll need to bring your own toilet facilities (this is a stipulation of the National Trust). There is a chemical disposal point and fresh running water available on site.
Restricted numbers: The site is a SSSI site (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and therefore pitches are limited. The grass is kept long in the centre of the fields to provide hay for the local farmer. We mow a margin around the edge of the field for campers. By mid-July the hay is cut and taken off site and the whole field is available for campers.
Phones: depending on your network, mobile phone signal can be patchy or even non existent at this very rural site, which might be a concern for solo campers.
Access: Due to the narrow access route, only smaller caravans will be able to use the site.
Fires: Camp fires and BBQs are only allowed if raised off the ground.
