CODE OF CONDUCT – CAMP SITES
Check the site regulations.
Report to reception immediately on arrival.
Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed.
Adhere to speed limits. Remember that the
stopping distance on grass is considerably
greater than on tarmac.
Only a person in possession of a current
driving licence may drive onsite.
Park as advised on your pitch. Where possible
leave 6 metres (20ft) of free space around
your vehicle.
Use the electrical mains hook-up in the correct
manner and with caution.
Ensure that all fresh water taps and
connections are turned off after use.
Have care and consideration for others when
using all facilities. Leave them clean and tidy.
Ensure young children are accompanied at all
times.
To avoid possible damage to sewage
purification works, only approved chemical
fluids must be used. Under no circumstances
may coal tar, phenol or caustic-based fluids
be used. Disposable nappies and similar bulky
items must not be put into the chemical closet
emptying points but should be wrapped in a
polythene bag and placed in the container
provided.
All occupants should refrain from making
excessive noise.
Flying kites and model aircraft and the use
of items like catapults or air guns, as well as
ball games, should not be permitted among or
close to caravans.
Musical instruments, music players, radios
and televisions should not be used to the
inconvenience of other people onsite.
Open and close doors quietly.
Power generators must be adequately silenced
and used with consideration in accordance to
restricted site times.
All dogs and other pets should be kept under
control.
Unless permission has been granted, no animal
should be let loose on the site and leads should
not exceed 3 metres (10 ft).
No animal should be allowed in the shower/
toilet block.
Do not let animals foul the site.
Adhere to and make note of all
fire precautions, including the
whereabouts of the fire points.
It is recommended that a 1kg (2.2lb) dry
powder fire extinguisher is carried within the
caravan. It should comply with BS 5423 ISO
7465 and be marked BSI or FOC approved. It is
important to check at regular intervals that the
extinguisher is working as is required by types
meeting BS 5423. Ensure the use-by date is
frequently checked.
Careful thought is necessary for the
positioning of a fire extinguisher, which should
be near to the door but not too close to
cooking equipment where flames could make it
unreachable.
In the kitchen area, a fire blanket is a
worthwhile precaution.
Unless permission has been granted,
barbecues should not be used. When
permission has been given, take care and
consider other site users. Ensure that the
environment remains pleasant for everyone.
Awnings and tents should only be used when
permission has been granted.
When on grass and staying for more than a
few days, the ground sheet and/or side flaps of
awnings should be periodically raised in order
to avoid damage to the ground.
Leave the pitch clean and tidy.
Upon leaving, check out with reception, paying
the required dues.
