• Pitch tents behind white posts, leaving the lake beach for everyone to enjoy.

• Quiet talking only after 11pm. Silence after midnight. Those who are noisy after a warning will be asked to leave or pay a behaviour bond of £50 per person.

• No sound systems or noise from devices allowed at any time. Acoustic instruments such as guitars before 10pm – but no drums! 

• No drones, no generators – both are strictly forbidden.

• Dogs: maximum 2 per booking – they must be on a lead at all times except in the dog walking area, and must be cleaned up after. We have zero tolerance of dogs off leads – you will be asked to leave if you do not comply.

• Groups must be small, no more than 15 people may pitch together in camping fields. Backpacker pieces are limited to 5, small van bays are limited to 6 people; the other reserved bays to 8.

• Distance between tents: at least 6m between tents of different groups in the camping fields.

• Barbecues may be used if raised at least 6 inches above the ground so they do not damage the grass. So-called “disposable” bbqs are not permitted.

• Security: we do our best to maintain a safe site but cannot accept responsibility for the security of vehicles or belongings: be sensible and ensure that all valuables, mountain bikes, canoes etc are properly secured at all times.

Please do not come if you feel these rules are unreasonable as we enforce them. If they are ignored you will be warned and charged a behaviour bond. If poor behaviour persists the bond is forfeited and any payments made are not refunded and you must leave.

We reserve the right to refuse to accept a booking.
