2026 Bookings & Membership

We are now taking bookings for 2026. We operate completely independently from the Caravan & Motorhome Club. While we have a 5-van “Certificated Location” (CL) area, we also offer the Millrace area, where no club membership is required. We pride ourselves on being more affordable and personal than larger national club sites.

• Adults Only (21+): A strictly child and youth-free zone for ultimate relaxation.
• Pitches: All 15 pitches (6 on the CL and 9 on the Millrace) are level, wide hard-standings.
• Electric Hook-ups: 10amp EHU available on every pitch. (Note: No charging points for electric vehicles).
• Amenities: Heated showers and toilets are available for all guests.
• Connectivity: Free on-site Wi-Fi and credible 4G mobile signal. Excellent “Digital Free-View” TV reception.
• Pets Welcome: Bring your dogs along and avoid kennel charges.
