Campsite Development

UPDATE August 28, 2023:

Work is on schedule with the new overnight shower and toilet block as well as the refurbishment of the existing building to provide day-use changing rooms, toilets and showers.

The photo shows the recently constructed retaining wall for the new building. Eventually the ground will be put back this side of the wall so that people camping on the raised grass area will be able to walk into the first floor of this building. This minimises the space taken up by this facility building.



UPDATE July 20, 2023:

Work started late June on the construction of new shower and toilet facilities at the site and the refurbishment of the existing building as described here.

Currently, the existing building has been stripped out, and foundations are being dug for the new building.

In the meantime, this means that unfortunately the campsite remains closed and no overnight stays are possible. Alternative, nearby sites are linked here. The work is due to be completed by the end of February 2024 - we will keep you informed of progress.

Development Plans

Our long term plan is to improve the site and facilities by refurbishing the existing building to create more toilets, changing cubicles and baby changing facilities for public use. We also hope to build a new campsite facilities building further down the site which will include a "Changing Places" facility, showers and family changing rooms.

The car park will be expanded to create additional parking spaces. That means it’s more likely that a dog walker, or a paddler, or a visitor can be sure of getting a space in the car park.

We have installed electric vehicle charging points and will be installing e-bike charging and other bike facilities including a shelter, repair tools and a bike wash.

The plan is also to include a further building to house a drying room, classroom for outdoor activities/courses and a small admin office.

Following feedback from guests we also plan to upgrade some of the electric hookups, which are all rated at 6 Amp.

We have attracted several grants for this development. Please watch this space for news.
