At a Camp Site
On Arrival
Park as close to the reception area as possible and report your arrival.
Do not drive to a pitch and park unless directed by reception staff.
Vehicle Movement Around the Site
Always keep to the site roads unless directed otherwise. Obey the speed
limits, these are generally 10 mph.
Note:
Stopping distances on grass
are greater than on a normal road. You must have a current valid driving
license to drive a vehicle on site roads. Park where directed on your pitch.
Where possible you should leave approximately 6m of free space around
your vehicle.
Using Site Appliances
Connect all mains hook-ups correctly and carefully. Turn off all fresh water
taps completely. Use facilities such as toilets and showers with care and
consideration, leaving them in a tidy condition. Young children should be
escorted and supervised.
Disposing of Waste
If your vehicle is not fitted with a waste water tank, place a suitable
container under all waste water outlets. Do not allow these to overflow.
Make sure you empty the containers at appropriate waste water points.
Empty chemical toilets only where directed. Avoid damage to sewerage
treatment works by using only approve chemicals. Phenols, coal tar or
caustic based fluids must never be used under any circumstances.
Solid bulky items such as disposable nappies etc must not be put into
the chemical closet emptying point or site rubbish bins. Wrap them in a
polythene bag and place in designated containers. Household rubbish
should be put into the private rubbish collection bins.
Noise Pollution
Please show consideration by thinking how the noise you create will affect
those around you. Open and close doors quietly. Control noise made by
your children: do not allow them to play with kites, model aircraft, catapults
or airguns close to motor caravans. Do not allow them to play loud,
boisterous ballgames. Keep volume turned down on CD players, personal
stereos radios and TVs. Do not play musical instruments so loudly that they
will upset your neighbours. If you have a power generator, make sure it is
adequately silenced and use it with consideration especially after dark.
Pets
Most site operators do not object to well behaved pets but they should be
kept well under control. No animal should be allowed to run loose on the
site. Leads must be no longer than 3m. Animals are not allowed in the
shower or toilet blocks. Dogs must not be allowed to foul sites, roads or
green areas. Carry a small spade and a supply of plastic bags in your
motorhome in order to clean up any mess made by your dog. It is then
possible to dispose of it in an appropriate manner.
