John Meadows, Dad, Grandad.

Many of our regulars will have seen and spoken with Grandad over their years visiting our site, so thought it best to share here with you all.

On 17th April 2026, Grandad passed away peacefully at home aged 88 years. Please be patient and kind as we navigate this time as a family, whilst still staying open and welcoming you all this weekend.

Grandads funeral service and burial will take place at St Helen’s Church, Churchtown, on Monday 27th April at 11:00 am.

Hello everyone, we are very nearly ready to open for the 2026-27 season!

The holiday cottage has been fully redecorated and the toilets have had a lick of paint too - you shouldve seen Elizabeth yesterday! More paint on her than the ceilings!

We will be opening the new season with a slight price increase to both the holiday cottage and the campsite. It'll now be £22 per night for a pitch and the cottage will start at £55 per night.

To take the sting off that slight increase, here's a picture of our wonderful Lagatha, who gave birth this morning to 2 healthy billy kids.

This year the letter is 'C' and we'd love to hear some of your name suggestions for these boys and maybe some girls too as kidding is only just getting started 🤞🤍

❗️❗️MORNING UPDATE❗️❗️

❗️❗️UPDATE❗️❗️

This morning on our checks, our glass bin again has been filled incorrectly.

It was full of dirty used nappies and someone's curry. Used nappies narrows down the culprit significantly!

Our BIFFA bill has had a 75% increase the last 2 months due to incorrect usage of said bins.

As a small site with fair fees of only £20 a night, we can not keep absorbing this £700 a month bill. All this means for you, unfortunately will be that we need to look at increasing our per night prices.

Lets hope normal service resumes immediately..

❗️IMPORTANT NOTICE:❗️

Our site has recently been hit with significant fines from BIFFA because campers are putting rubbish into the wrong waste bins. Incorrect sorting leads to penalties that affect all of us.

📣What’s Happening?
• Waste is often being placed in the wrong bins
• This results in substantial fines for our site
• These fines impact our ability to keep services and facilities at their best

📣How You Can Help?
• Read the signs on each bin carefully
• Sort your waste: paper, glass, general waste, etc.
• Ask a staff member if you’re unsure where something should go
• Keep our site clean and avoid unnecessary charges

♻️Proper Waste Disposal is Everyone’s Responsibility♻️

This is nothing new - it is laziness. The UK has been recycling household waste at homes since before 2010.

Below is an image of our GLASS bin! Full of someone's chips and beans, wet clothes, and dirty bedding amongst other things

As we approach 11pm can we please remind campers to be respectful of our neighbours and livestock by keeping noise levels to a minimum.

Little croft field.

So many of you have enjoyed our pet lambs when visiting the last few months and given them many snugs!

However, they've eaten off all the grass now, but as goats are browsers, not grazers meet our Pygmy Goats!

You'll see them over the next week or so from the gate nibbling off at the shrubs and hedges but as a polite reminder - PLEASE DO NOT FEED OUR GOATS - so many things you may think are natural and harmless can have severely negative effects on their health.

Another note, we are fully booked this weekend and any cancellations will be posted here 🌞
