The gravel pitches are suitable for tents, trailer tents, roof tents, single and twin axle caravans, campervans, motorhomes and RVs. For those bringing tents, rock pegs are advised. The hardstanding pitches are suitable for all of the above except for tents. They also have a grassed area next to the pitch.
