Information for Groups
This information is available as a PDF download from the Downloads section below. Here are the additional measures we have implemented to comply with the current UK Government restrictions and guidance on re-opening as a COVID-19 secure site:
- Advanced booking (minimum of 48hrs) is mandatory
- Group leaders must arrive early, to be on site to meet their group. Young people who arrive early must wait in cars until a group leader arrives
- Groups must congregate in the top car park, in the allocated area
- Parents are to remain in the car park, and not come onto the campsite.
- Dogs are still not allowed anywhere on site, except for service dogs.
- Groups must stick to the allocated area (marked on the map in your welcome pack) during your stay on site as much as possible
- Groups must provide their own hand sanitiser
- Social distancing must be observed when using the toilet blocks
We have put up additional signage around the site, as a reminder of these additional measures.
