For example, you may wish to be near the children's play trail, or, indeed not too close! Some pitches are suitable for caravans, some for tents, and some where caravans can be sited next to tents, to suit the people involved. All pitches are bookable, but, although we will do our best, we cannot guarantee a particular location. We can take a deposit, or full payment, by credit/debit card over the phone.

The proprietors will accept no responsibility for theft, damage or injury whilst on the park, however caused. The etiquette of caravanning and camping
Code of conduct – the etiquette of caravanning and camping. We set out to provide at Orchard Park a quiet place to relax in the countryside, somewhere away from the reminders of urban living. To do so we ask you to follow the guidelines: regrettably if you do not we may have to ask you to leave. Noise carries through canvas and open windows. Please keep music and conversation reduced, particularly after 10 p.m. We do not lock the barrier but would ask you to be particularly quiet if you have to return after 11 p.m. You may care to park overnight in the car park. Children should be supervised at all times. They must not be allowed to play in the wash-block facilities, nor interfere with any Park equipment, or to cycle fast on the Park roads. Games involving throwing balls/ frisbees etc must not be played near caravans and tents, nor in such a way as to annoy others. When we are not busy the field can be used for games. The play area is not to be used after 9 p.m. Trees are not to be climbed. Please do not use external washing lines. A window rack is acceptable, but both spin and tumble dryers are available in the laundry room. Dogsmust be registered at reception, kept on tethered or held leads at all times, and must not be allowed to annoy others with uncontrolled barking. Cats should not be allowed to roam free. We do not allow any other animals to be brought onto the Park. Ensure that your pet only relieves itself on the 'dog walk' and that you clean up after your pet. A disposal bin is provided next to the 'dog walk'. Pets must not be left unattended at any time. Small windbreaks may be used, but do not fence off areas of the Park. Generators may not be used. Electricity connections are widely available. If you use an electric pump to inflate your airbed, please do so early in the evening, before the buzz of the motor becomes annoying to others relaxing. Barbecues must be kept sufficiently raised above the ground to prevent scorching the grass. Bricks are available near the taps. NO open fires, only BBQs for the purposes of cooking. Only 'breathable' groundsheets may be used, or if unavoidable for example a pup tent with a sewn-in ground sheet, then the tent must be moved every four days. Dogs are welcome, but…
Orchard Park is a family site. Please help us to continue to allow dogs at Orchard Park. We have three basic rules. The first two are about health and safety: 1. Children play around the site and dog mess is a hazard to children.
Keeping your dog on a lead at all times will ensure they do not make a mess on site, and do not frighten children playing. 2. Please do not leave your dog in your caravan or tent when you leave the site.We have no way of knowing if you have just popped out or have gone for the day. All we know is that an animal is shut in and our concern is for the welfare of that animal. We have been told by the RSPCA to inform them if we are unhappy with any animal shut in a tent or caravan. 3. This is about being a considerate owner.
Yes!
Unfortunately, if our Dog Warden sees that you have not followed our simple rules, then you will be asked to leave the site. To fairly ensure that the rules are explained to all dog owners, we ask for dog registration on arrival at reception. |
