Changes

CHANGES.

Peeps, we are having to put together a few changes to how we function and run The Otter Vale Wild Camping due to our current circumstances.

Many of you will have been to stay with us before and are aware of our pride in being able to offer you space and choice of where you set your camp up. This will not change you can still choose between meadow or woodland and have a fire. 

I have just put the changes in a list form for ease of reading.

1. Booking : We need to know the following: how many adults/children/tents/Hammocks/Van /nights. Name of persons in charge of your party, address, telephone number, email and the reg number of your vehicle. Please copy and paste the text from the booking form on to an email fill/delete and send. I will send you a conformation via email with arrival instructions. I will try and do this as soon as I can, please be patient as we are a working farm so much of my time is spent out side. If you are wishing to come on the same day please give me a call 07493139091

2. Wood: You will need to bring your own wood if you wish to have a campfire. Your wood must be clean, NO nails or staples, cattle graze some of the meadows, if they consume metal internal damage is done resulting in their death. Metal in their feet causes pain and sometime resulting again in their death.

As from June 2026 I am giving the campfires 2 more months then I will re-assess as I can not risk the health of my cattle just because people feel the need to burn wood with nails & staples in.

Fire baskets are available free of charge, please use them. The local stone is flint, this explodes when it gets hot, so do not feel the need to make your fire look pretty.

3. It will be your responsibility to take your rubbish home to sort for recycling, DO NOT dump in a ditch or hide in the woodland, it has all arrived with you and you will have eaten most of it by the end of your stay, so room should not be a problem.  Do not leave broken tents/chairs/gazebos etc and PLEASE count your pegs in and count them back out.

6. Payment via bank transfer, the settlement amount and bank details will be sent to you with conformation of your booking.
