Good Neighbour Guide
If the stay is longer than a day or two the
groundsheet and/or side flaps of the awning
should be lifted to avoid unsightly patches or
damage to the grass.
Leaving The Site
Always tidy your pitch and make sure you do not
leave bags of rubbish lying about. Check out at
reception, pay your site fees and thank them for
an enjoyable stay.
Wild Camping
Camping on a non-licensed site without the
permission of the landowner is illegal in the UK.
If you do have permission to camp on an
unlicensed site, always follow the advice in
the code.
Pay particular attention to the following points:
• Dispose of litter only in receptacles provided for
the purpose. If there are none, put litter in plastic
bags and take it away with you to dispose of in
an appropriate manner.
• Control the water waste from your motorhome,
do not let it run onto the ground.
• Chemical toilets must only be emptied in an
appropriate waste point.
• Do not hang washing or similar items outside
your vehicle.
• Do not allow children to climb on fences or walls.
Damage to these may allow farm animals to
stray into the wrong field.
Parking
You should only park your vehicle in an approved
place and during the permitted times. Do not use
any of your facilities such as cooking or washing
in a way that may cause annoyance or
inconvenience to those around you.
User Manuals
Before using your motorhome for the first time,
and at the beginning of each season, read and
follow the advice given by the manufacturer and
appliance manufacturers in their user handbooks.
Protecting The Environment
Always behave and, encourage children to behave,
in a manner that protects the environment and
other people's property.
Please read and follow the advice contained in the
country code and the coastal code.
After many years of use you may decide that your
vehicle has reached the end of its useful life and
should be disposed of.
Please ensure that you comply with the end of life
vehicle legislation and take it to an authorised
treatment facility who will deal with it properly
to minimise any environmental impact.
