for all tariff information.

What do I need to bring for a stay in a camping hut?
Everything you would bring for a stay in a tend except you sleeping mat as the huts have mattresses.

What is the difference between a Wigwam and a Wishbone camping hut?
The floor space size is the same, but Wishbones have a bit more head-space. Most of the Wishbones have a porch which the Wigwams don’t have.

How big are the camping huts?
All huts have a floor space of 2.4 by 4.2 metres.

Can I bring one or more dogs?
Yes, you can bring your dogs. There is a charge of £5 per night per dog  and we only allow a maximum of 2 dogs in each caravan or camping hut.

When is the best time to come?
There is no real answer to this question. The weather is very unpredictable and it can be beautiful sunshine or storm & rain at any time of the year. You may want to choose your stay according to whether you enjoy a place more lively during the main holiday periods or a bit more quiet off the main season.

Can I avoid the midges? How bad are they?
The midges usually are strongest during July and August. They start about June and disappear around October depending on the previous winter and late/early frost. Midges don’t like strong sun and will be gone with the slightest breeze. Therefore you can have a complete midge-free holiday at any time, but if unlucky they can be quite a nuisance. If you are concerned we recommend you come before end of May or after mid September.

Do you allow BBQs?

We don’t allow campfires, but you are welcome to bring a free-standing BBQ.
