Catering on Saturday evening available for € 25,00 per person – we’re still working on details but you can expect it to be great quality, plentiful and tasty.

We ask that everyone is on their way home by 11am on Monday 9th, having cleared your pitches and disposed of any rubbish – we will do a final tidy up and return the site to its owners in good condition. Should you want to stay longer, please make arrangements directly with the campsite owners once there or in advance when sure it’s the place you want to stay longer.
