For extra convenience, choose a fully serviced hardstanding 9m x 9m pitch that includes electric, water and waste connection, ideal for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. For those looking to go glamping, there's a great range of pods. The large glamping pods sleep up to five, equipped with a double bed and bench seating that converts to a single and double. You can then either hire bedding or bring it with you. The large pods also include an electric heater, plus a small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle and washing up sink.
