We will do our best to pitch groups of friends next to each other within the campsite but cannot guarantee that this will be possible. Correct use of our Group Ordering system will help us do this effectively.
2. Camplight will do it’s best to provide you with the equipment you booked. On rare occasions there may be times when we have to provide you with alternative equipment due to a lack of availability or other circumstances. In such event we will provide you with alternative equipment of similar specifications and quality to your booking or provide a refund for unavailable equipment.
3. No Pets allowed in the tents on the campsite.
4. Fires/Barbecues. Please check the event terms and conditions to see if you can have a fire in the field. At some events that allow fires we hire woking machines or have a supervised communal campfire. If you have a fire in our campsite it is entirely your responsibility and it must be a safe distance away from any tents or other structures. Under NO circumstances may you take a fire/barbecue into your tent, this can result in death.

18. The Woking Machine is provided by us on hire to the customer. The hire does not include fuel.

21. Tents that are hired to the customer will always be rated by the manufacturer specification. I.e. a manufactures specified 2 man tent will be hired as a 2man tent.

Please take this up with the manufacturers or the people selling the tents in the first place. All our tents are salvaged.
22. We will not enter or search a customers tent without their permission without first tying to contact them. However if we cannot get through to our customer after 12 hours then we may become worried for their safety.

If the tent and camp is left tidy we now have a clean campsite deposit that can be used to reward the customer for tidy campsites.

But you can contact us and ask because we do collect stuff up and try to avoid binning it when ever possible.
