Hard-Standing Pitch FAQ

How many pitches are on-site?

We have eight fully serviced hard-standing pitches.

Are children allowed on the site?

We are an adults-only site, welcoming guests aged 18 and over to maintain a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

Facilities

Are shower facilities available?

Yes — we have two showers available, with one shower in operation during the winter months.

How many toilets are available?

There are three toilets available for guest use year-round.

Is electricity included in the pitch fee?

To balance comfort with fair pricing, your pitch fee includes a daily allowance of the first 10kWh (£5) of electricity.

  • Is 10kWh enough? Absolutely! This generous allowance is designed to cover all your daily essentials—including your fridge, lighting, water pump, and charging your leisure battery. Most guests find this is more than enough for a standard, comfortable stay at no extra cost.
  • What if I use more? For high-drain energy needs (such as running electric heaters), any usage over 10kWh is metered at cost. This “pay-for-what-you-use” approach allows us to keep our base pitch rates lower for everyone, rather than implementing a site-wide price increase.
  • Why do we do this? It is the fairest way to manage rising energy costs while encouraging environmentally conscious travel.
  • How do I track it? You can easily monitor your real-time consumption and remaining credit through the CampaVolt app. Simply check the usage section at the bottom of the app screen for total peace of mind throughout your stay.
Do you offer a pit-stop service?

Our pit-stop facilities are available exclusively to guests who have booked a pitch. We do not offer a separate drive-in pit-stop service.

Do you have any certified award rating?

Yes – from the AA (Automobile Association) the touring pitches have an AA 4* rating offering excellent facilities and comfortable, high-quality experience. The certificate can be seen in our information room.

Dogs & Walking

Are dogs allowed and is there an additional charge?

Yes — dogs are very welcome with our hard-standing pitches bookings. We charge £1 per dog, per night. Guests have access to our enclosed dog exercise area, along with excellent countryside walks directly from the campsite.
