POWERED SITES
Campervans/caravans must have a current Electrical Warrant of Fitness if plugging in to our powered site outlets and power leads must be a minimum of 10 metres. Tents or vans plugging into power can only use an approved and tested ‘camping style’ power cord (with 3 long round pins), at least 10 m long, with a safety RCD. Please make sure you have your Electrical WoF documentation and/or your tested, tagged power cord available for us to check if asked. You cannot connect vans or tents on multiple sites to one power source. Management reserves the right to unplug any connection that does not comply with regulations. Generators are not permitted at any time.
Whilst we make every effort to give you the site/s you request, we cannot guarantee any particular site or combination of sites. During long weekends from October through to Easter we have a 2 night minimum booking.
The nearest black water dump station is in Cheviot, a 10-minute drive north. Dumping black water canisters in our toilets will block the Septic system. Please refrain from doing so. Thank-you ????
Enjoy your stay !!
