Camping and Touring
Your booking is for the unit, size, dates and the number of people as stated on your booking confirmation (we do not accept touring caravans). We cannot guarantee a particular pitch or area of the park. We request that you only use breathable ground sheets and for stays over 7 days we will ask you to move your tent to preserve the grass.
Arrival and Departure
From 1st March to 24th May and from 1st September to 31st October you are welcome to arrive anytime from 1.00pm to 6.00pm. From 25th May until 31st August, you are welcome to arrive from 1.00pm to 8.00pm.
All arrivals must register with reception before going on to the park. Pitches must be vacated by 10.30am on day of departure. Unfortunately, we do not have parking available on site before 1.00pm and we are unable to pitch new arrivals after dusk.
Please leave your pitch tidy and in particular free of any fossils or stones collected during the holiday. We do not offer late departures.
Electrical Hook up
We recommend a minimum length 20m hook up cable for all our pitches. Please note that the maximum supply to each pitch is 10amps. This is appropriate for such items as phone chargers, electric lights, travel fridges, camping kettles and camping heaters, etc. but items such as domestic kettles, cookers awning heaters may trip the supply and we therefore ask you not to use them. We do not allow the use of splitters on our site. We cannot be held responsible for any loss of food due to the tripping of power.
Electric Vehicles
Strictly no charging of these on your pitch/park
Groups
In order to keep the park as peaceful as possible for everyone’s enjoyment we do not accept groups (which for us is more than 4 adults or more than 2 families who know each other) on the park. We do not pair bookings and so cannot guarantee certain pitches or that you will be near to others on the park.
We also do not accept single sex groups of 4 adults or more unless by prior arrangement. If you book separately and are part of a group, we will ask you to leave the park with no refunds.
Visitors
Due to lack of car parking space, we are unable to accommodate visitors’ vehicles on the park. Please can all visitors register with Reception upon arrival.
We do not have visitor parking available on site except for Blue Badge Holders. One vehicle only can be parked on each pitch (motor home or camper van counts as one vehicle). Please advise any visitors to use the local pay and display car parks.
Commercial vans or campervan conversions
We do not accept commercial vans. If you have a campervan conversion please contact us before booking.
Additional Vehicles and Trailers
We have extremely limited space for extra vehicles which must be parked off your pitch. We recommend that you use the long-term parking in Lyme Regis. Please let us know in advance if you are bringing a trailer, these must not be larger than 2m x 1.5m and must fit on your pitch.
If you would like to bring an additional vehicle onto the park, please contact us at least 24 hours before arrival and we will reserve you parking (subject to availability). We are unable to accommodate additional vehicles on arrival. The cost is £10 per night, departure time is 10.30 am for camping units and 10.00am for other accommodation.
We do NOT accept tow along vehicles or trailers on motorhomes.
BBQs and Fires
No open fires are to be made on the park. Portable barbecues are permitted but must be at least 6′′ off the ground – if a stand is required, please use the bricks which are available at water points. We do not allow wood or wood chip products to be burnt in the BBQ or on the park in any other unit or heater either in or outside your tent– please only use charcoal. All BBQ’s to be put out by 10.30pm please.
Gazebos and Event Shelters (updated 6/7/22)
We do not allow gazebos and event shelters on any tent pitches. If you have booked a motorhome or campervan pitch with awning space , a small gazebo no more than 3m wide can be attached to the side of your van in lieu of an awning. This must have sides and be attached securely. This cannot be free standing and we will ask you to take down anything more than 3m wide.
If you have a driveaway awning or a rear awning please mention when booking as not all pitches are suitable for these.
Pitching
Awnings
Please note the maximum size of awning we allow is the length of your vehicle and 3 metres in depth. If your awning is larger than this then please inform us prior to your arrival, and we will do our best to allocate you a larger pitch. Unfortunately if is larger than this you may be ask to take it down. We would also need to know in advance if you have a rear awning as only a few pitches can accommodate theses.
Pitching
A member of our team will show you to your pitch, please pitch where requested and do not encroach upon any other pitches, for fire risk limitation, safety and access. If you pitch outside your boundary or your unit is judged to be a risk to the safety or comfort of others, you will be asked to move. Please do not erect any tents or gazebos.

All dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times on the park. Please ensure that your dog does not cause annoyance to other park users and is never left unattended on the park. Any fouling must be cleared using the bins provided. Sorry, but we do not accept breeds which are listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

Vehicle access and pedestrian access must always be via designated roads or paths. The speed limit is strictly 5mph.

We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone on the park without reason or remove any tent or caravan should it be considered necessary. The refund of the appropriate portion of any site rental shall be sufficient discharge of all obligations to any person who is required to vacate the park.
