About Camping & touring

Twenty-one level pitches, grass and hardstanding, spread over two fields with the River Strat running through the middle. The facilities are close at hand — a shower and toilet block, washing-up facilities, a vending machine, a dog wash and a laundry.

There are three kinds of pitch. You can choose between pitching in Lower Willow, which is closer to the road, where large non-electric grass pitches (tents only, up to 8 people) have the most space of any pitch on the park. In the main Middle Willow area, grass pitches with optional electric (up to 6, tents and tourers) and hardstanding pitches with optional electric (up to 4, for caravans and tents with awnings) put you in the most secluded area of the park.

Grass pitches run from March to October; the hardstanding pitches are available all year. Pitches start from £24 a night for two, with live prices for your exact dates in the booking system. Awnings and gazebos are welcome — just let us know when you book.

Where it sits: The pitches sit across two fields in the floor of the valley: Lower Willow at the bottom and Middle Willow beside the facilities, with the River Strat running between them.
