We want to keep you as safe as possible whilst maintaining our sites individual charm that we strive for

1. Firstly we will be asking you to complete your balance a week before you come and we will let you know where you will be pitched so you can have a contactless arrival if you wish.

2. We will be wearing visors or a mask when we serve you at the reception and will maintain a 2 metre distance when possible. We would like you to wear masks in the reception room and when going into the toilet block (obviously you can take your mask off in the shower cubicles and masks down when you clean your teeth.) There has been quite a bit of evidence to say that masks help to protect others. We don’t expect you to wear masks at your pitch, on the fields or in the cart-lodge or barn. Whilst we will provide hand sanitiser and disinfectant wipes, it would be advisable to come equipped with them too.

3. We have reduced our pitch numbers by 1/3rd to help reduce congestion in the toilet block. We are not closing every other pitch as our pitches are large and we feel that we can have enough distance anyway. We are asking you to park on the left hand side as you face your pitch to aid this distancing.

4. There must be no queuing up inside the toilet block. If it is busy we would like you to queue up outside maintaining a 2 metre distance from other campers. Hand sanitiser will be available before you go in and for when you come out. Well air conditioned rooms are thought to be important so when possible we will be leaving the windows open including the sky lights. We will be closing the middle sink in the ladies and men’s. Please can children be supervised in the toilet block.

5. In the washing up room we will close the far right sink (so there will be two available). We ask that only one person in your pitch to goes to the washing up room (perhaps dry the dishes at your camp). Hand sanitiser will be available for you to use. No children will be allowed.

6. The first weekend we tried to keep the barn with everyone wiping the table tennis tables, go karts etc. We felt that due to the lack of wipes used that this really wasn’t working and we needed to shut off these facilities in order to keep every one as safe as possible.

7. The fridges and freezers will still be available. Please use hand sanitiser before you go to the fridge or freezer. There will be wipes for you to wipe things down before you put them in and when you take them out. A bag may make this process easier for you. Again no children should be going to the fridges or freezers.

8. The reception will be open. Please sanitise your hands on entering and leaving. Only one family at a time should be inside the reception room. You will still have access to the kettle for hot water. Again there will be disinfectant wipes for you to use. Regrettably, we won’t be having the free tea or coffee - this will return next year!

9. BBQ - we are still going to do the BBQ but will put salad and potatoes on each of your tables, as we feel a salad bar would increase risk. Also we will have sachets of sauces. Because of the added expense we will put £1 on the cost so it will be £9 for an adult and £5 for a child (10 and under). Please can you also bring your plates and cutlery.

10. We are still planning to have croissants and pain au chocolat each morning (£1 each). We will also still be doing the Sunday cooked breakfast rolls. Hartley Hare Hunts will still continue as normal.

Should guidelines be released we may need to introduce a few additional measures, but we will inform you if there are any changes.

Whilst we maintain high standards of health and safety and they are of paramount importance to us, you are camping with other families and visiting other places and so therefore we can not be held responsible to you contract Covid19 post your stay with us.
