Camping Areas
You may camp anywhere in the areas marked Guest Camping ie. anywhere to the LEFT of the Oak avenue that cuts through the middle of the site - Crew ONLY may camp on to the RIGHT of the Oak Avenue
We have a huge new area for general camping - last year it was only for RVs but this anyone can use it
Crew: you can camp in the general camping area if you want to be with non-crew friends - but party guests must not camp in the Crew Area
Cars can come on site to drop equipment
(we log your vehicle reg & mobile on your Vehicle Registration Card)
- Talk to one of the stewards and ask where to camp
- find your spot
- drop your gear off as quickly as you can - don't set up camp yet
While dropping off don't walk away from your car to say Hi to friends - Move your car to the car park - it only takes 5 mins to walk back
- Now you can take as much time as you like to set up camp
HELP US TO KEEP THE SITE AS CLEAR OF CARS AS POSSIBLE
- please work with us not against us!
Keep access ways clear and never drive at more than 5mph
Only average sized live-in vehicles with a Camper Van Pass will be allowed in the main area and may camp in general guest camping areas alongside mates in tents
If your Camper Van is really a Lorry/Horsebox/Showman's Caravan/Large RV etc. you will be directed to the Large RV area
Do not drive on site at all after dark
This is a license requirement to do with safety and emergency access
If the ground is wet We may instruct the stewards to park vehicles in a different car park

You will be asked to complete an under 18's registration form at reception. They'll be issued with a wristband on which must be written their legal guardian's mobile number

There are no cash machines on site but (depending on mobile signal) we will try to run a credit card chip & pin cash bank at the site office on Saturday and Sunday between 14:00 - 16:00

CAMPING
Camping areas are marked. Don't camp or park in the access lanes or pitch tents too close together in case the emergency services need access.
CAMPING UNDER TREES IS DANGEROUS & ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK
LEAVE a 3m gap from TREE TRUNKS
Please be very careful where you camp in case an old limb falls off . . . the tree that is!
CAMP FIRES
If you want a fire by your camp you MUST use a fire dish!
NB: The Park around Stamford Hall is a is site of 'special scientific interest' and as such is subject to rigid conditions concerning fires
We must not leave a trace of ash, or singed grass, or digging or litter - we must leave the park exactly as we find it
Firewood will be available at around £5 per bag - look for Conway who'll be riding around with a quad & trailer
He'll also be selling selling low-cost fire baskets
SUSTAINABILITY - RECYCLING & RUBBISH
Stanford Hall take sustainability and recycling very seriously; they have a huge permaculture farm producing veg boxes for the local community, have installed composting loos at various points on the site and compost all food waste
if you'd like to download their impressive 'sustainability charter'
The main points are:
- NO SINGLE USE PLASTICS
- Bring your own water bottle - the water from the standpipes is high quality drinking water - tested & certified
- Bring your own cup for the bar (corn starch cups will be available - but you'll need to pay a deposit)
- Use the glass and food waste recycling bins
- Use the skips for all other waste - 97% of which will be sorted and recycled
- Take home as much of your own rubbish as possible
Please be VERY conscientious with all litter, especially ring-pulls from cans (which can cause terrible harm to the cattle and horses). Don't drop fag butts - if you smoke bring a portable ashtray. Designate one person from your camp to oversee litter and be responsible for checking the area when you pack up.
Take any bin bags that you can't take with you to the skips before you leave please
LEAVE NO TRACE - PLEASE LEAVE YOUR AREA SPOTLESSLY CLEAN
FIRE SAFETY
- Get out - Stay out - Alert Security, Site office or Paramedics.
- Stay calm - move quickly - get everyone out and clear from the area.
- In the camp; ensure that tents, campers or caravans are kept at least 3 metres apart.
- Extinguishers: at the Site Office, at the traders & caterers stalls and by the ambulance.
- Be very aware of how dangerous a tent fire can be
