Camping Information
General Pitch Information
Our Campsite is situated in a forest and the pitches are constructed around the natural lay of the woodlands.
As a consequence, the make-up of the ground which you will pitch up on is that of a typical forest floor. This means your pitch could be slightly gravelly, a silty surface, tree roots pine cones lying around or slightly uneven.
Being within a forest, grass is usually unable to grow so for those booking tent pitches, we do recommend that you bring toughened tent pegs and an extra ground sheet for added protection and comfort.
Premium Pitches
These are electric pitches which provide you with slightly more privacy than normal electric pitches and are ideal for caravans, motor homes and trailer tents. Some are suitable for tents; please ask at time of booking.

Washing Up Area

Electric
Each hook up point is clearly numbered on each pitch and delivers a maximum of 1.5KW (6 amps) per pitch. Please ensure that you do not exceed this, as it will cause the circuit to trip. Generators are not permitted.
Gas (Calor)
Butane and Propane bottles as well as some gas regulators are available from Reception. Reading Caravans camping shop is nearby and carries a much larger selection of camping equipment and supplies should you need them.
Refuse
Refuse sites are found by pitch 25 and opposite the Campsite Warden's caravan. Please remember to recycle where possible. There are separate bins available for general rubbish, mixed recycling and glass. There are also areas for disposing of used barbeque coals at these points.
Elsan Points
These are situated near the refuse points. Please ensure you ONLY put toilet waste down them as nappies, wipes and sanitary towels will block this facility. For these items, please use the sanitary and nappy bins provided in the main toilet block.
