Pets
Most site operators do not object to well behaved pets,
but they should be kept under control.
• Unless permission has been granted, no animal
should be allowed to run loose on the site.
• Leads must be no longer than 3m.
• Animals are not normally allowed in the shower or
toilet block areas.
• Dogs must not be allowed to foul sites. Please clean
up after them in a responsible manner, using the
facilities provided.
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. 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
normally allowed on campsites.
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.
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 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.

WILD CAMPING
Camping on a non-licensed site without
the permission of the landowner is not
allowed in most of the UK. If you do have
permission to camp on an unlicensed site,
pay particular attention to the following:
• 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.
• Control the water waste from your
vehicle, 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 the wrong
fields or onto a public highway.
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.
