We are now taking bookings for the 2018 camping season. We seem to book up earlier each year so please book as soon as possible if you have dates in mind – especially if you’re booking for a Bank Holiday. The café will be open Wednesday to Sunday throughout the winter, serving lunch everyday and brunch at the weekends. We plan to have some pop-up evenings soon as well! For 2018 we’ll have an online booking system for the café as well – if you’re camping with us and would like to eat then please book as we are often very busy in the summer. Send us an email if you have any questions. Hopefully we’ll see you next year, if not before!

We’ve opened the booking system a little earlier than normal this year. We seem to book up faster every season so if you have dates in mind then please book as soon as possible. There are a couple of changes for 2017. The price per adult has increased by £1. The price of children, dogs and tents hasn’t changed. We’ve also reduced the maximum number of tents in the 3rd Pasture by 5 pitches, so that area will now accommodate 35 tents. Although we already have one of the lowest tent densities in the UK (yes, it’s a thing!) this will ensure that there is less pressure on facilities and guests have even more space to relax! We are also reducing the maximum group size to 5 tents / 15 adults. This will be disappointing for some, but we’ve found it harder to manager some of the larger groups, and we want to maintain a space that is relaxing and peaceful for all guests. Read more

We have new stock in the shop this year. The shop is usually open 9am – 8pm Fridays, 9am – 6pm Saturdays and 9am – 4pm Sundays. Weekday times vary, but we’re open most of the day during holiday periods. If you have any suggestions for products we should stock, or queries about stock, then please let us know. Read more

It’s been a bit of a wait, but our new payment gateway has finally been activated and our booking system is now open. We’ve made a few changes and thought that it would be a good idea to make them as clear as possible. Firstly, the price per adult and per child is increased by £1. Since our last price rise, 4 years ago, the cost of materials and labour has gone up by quite a bit, so this will help to cover that.

We won’t be reserving the Badger Site for 2015. As we’ve become busier during the week as well as weekends it has become harder and harder to reserve this area, and we often find that it is under used because of this. From 2015 anyone will be able to camp in the Badger Site, regardless of group size, and use the 5 fire pits in there. We will still accept groups of up to 10 tents, but will not have any reservable areas.

We have decided that we will take bookings for dogs in 2015, but it is very important that all dogs are kept on leads and cleaned up after. This applies to all dogs and is non negotiable! We’d rather not ban dogs, so if you’re camping with a dog then please ensure that you are able and willing to stick to the rules!

It’s highly likely that we’ll be selling bagged wood from 2015 onwards. This is because the loose wood delivery is taking up so much of the day. If we’re not loading or unloading loose wood then we’re probably tarping it to keep dry or uncovering it to let it breathe! The bagged wood is still being delivered around the site, but it also available from reception.

Our online payment gateway has changed from Paypal to WorldPay, and we’ll also be taking card payment in our shop. This should make things easier for campers (no more driving down to Nailsworth for cash!) and ourselves (no more chasing unpaid tabs!). You therefore won’t be able to pay via Paypal when making a booking. Our cancellation policy has changed for 2015. As before, any bookings cancelled with at least 30 days’ notice will be refunded (90% refund). Bookings cancelled with less than 30 days’ notice but with at least 7 days’ notice will be refunded (90%) if we can rebook the space. Bookings that are cancelled with less than 7 days’ notice will not be refunded.

If you have any questions about the site then please send us an email using the contact page. Hopefully we’ll see you onsite soon!

As you can see, our new website is now online. We’ve made a new website as the old one hadn’t been updated for many years, didn’t work very well on phones and tablets, and didn’t have many images. We hope that this website is more informative and easier to use. We’ll also update this news section much more frequently. If you have any feedback we’d love to hear from you, so send us an email.
