adequately silenced and use it with
consideration especially after dark.
Pets
Most site operator 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 3 m. 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 motor caravans in
order to clean up any mess made
by your dog. It is then possible
to dispose of it in an
appropriate manner.
Fire Precautions
Read all fire precaution notices and
make sure that you and your family
are familiar with the locations of
hoses, extinguishers and assembly
points.
Although not compulsory, it is a
good idea to carry a 2-kg dry
powder fire extinguisher in your
motor home. It must comply with
BS5423 and be marked 'BSI' or
‘FOC approved’.To comply with
BS5423 it must be checked
regularly.Think carefully where you
will site the extinguisher and, it
should be near the door but not
too close to the cooking area.
A sudden flare up may prevent you
from reaching it. A fire blanket is a
good idea for the kitchen.
Barbecues should not be used
unless permission has been given. If
you are allowed to use a barbecue,
use it with care and consideration
for those around you. Open fires
are not allowed on campsites.
Tents and Awnings
It is polite to ask permission before
erecting a tent or awning.
Permission will normally be granted
if the tent is of a recognised
standard make and in good
condition.
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.
