 SITE LAYOUT AND GROUND CONDITIONS

• The campsite is spread over farm land; this means the terrain is uneven in places. There are stone paths throughout the site and an accessible bridge adjacent to Bellas Bridge.
• The weather can have a massive impact on how easy it is for people to move around the site, please take this into consideration when deciding on what equipment to bring with you. When it rains the site does get muddy which can make it difficult to get around, when the weather is very dry, the site can become dusty near the roadways.

ACCESSIBLE CAMPSITE FACILITIES

• Wheelchair accessible toilets and wheelchair adapted showers for use by the disabled campers only.
• Power to all pitches for wheelchair/medical equipment charging
• A secure fridge that medicines can be stored in located at FMS medical based in Williams Green.

CAMPERVANS

• There are campervan spaces available for campers with disabilities for those who could not manage in a tent for medical reasons.
