We are closed for Winter and we will open for 2025 Mid March . We are accepting email bookings please contact us via email in the top right hand corner for any queries .
We usually experience exceptionally high demand during Bank Holidays, so if you are planning to camp during a bank holiday, please read the following information:
As you might expect, Bank Holidays can be very busy at our camp site, so there are a few things you should know if you are planning to camp at a bank holiday time.(Please do not come on the later bank holidays expecting a quieter break the whole valley is usually extremely busy)
Although we usually have ample camping space, our main restriction during these bank holidays is due to a lack of car parking space. Therefore if you are camping, but not bringing a car, then we will usually be able to accommodate you even in these peak times. Similarly, if you are just bringing a motorbike or a camper van, then there will usually be enough space for you to camp.
Easter Weekend and “May Day” Bank Holiday
The first two bank holidays differ from the others as there is only the main field open due to lambing, so space is limited as we do NOT have the overspill/vicarage . Whenever possible book or call ahead for these weekends . People do arrive without a booking and we will usually have some space but it is not guaranteed . Bookings are the priority.
Late May and Late August bank holidays
During the last bank holiday in May and August , depending on demand and the weather, we are able to open up an adjacent field that is just a short walk from the main facilities. If demand is very high, we open up a third field. As well as this extra space, we provide additional toilet facilities at this peak time. There is also a sink with mains water .
If you really want to camp on the main site (and not in the extra field) then this is on a ‘first-come, first served’ basis, so it’s advisable to arrive early! (Unfortunately specific “spaces” at our site cannot be reserved before arrival)
The extra space means that we are usually still welcoming people right through to Saturday afternoon/evening. There is almost always some space for those turning up on the day but we can not guarantee it and we are not obliged to take everyone. Bank holidays are busier and therefore noisier . We still impose rules and expect them to be followed .
Once again we reiterate that groups of 6 or more should book or contact us in advance to say they are intending to come.
Any overly rowdy, rude or aggressive campers will not be tolerated and we still expect that by 10.30 at night the site is quiet as at other times of year on the main site or overspill.
As with other peak times and especially if you have far to travel, we recommend that you book ahead . If you book but need to cancel, that’s no problem but we ask for three days notice by email as a courtesy.
We usually only start to get full-up on Saturday evening, but if by chance you do arrive and we cannot accommodate you, there are a couple of sites close by .
Leaving Times at Bank Holidays
We are usually flexible with leaving times and even on bank holiday we do not impose a minimum night stay. However, we ask anyone staying just the Friday night (ie leaving on Saturday ) that they leave by 10am. Saturday departs are by 10am throughout the year .
If you have any questions about camping on Bank Holidays, please email us at info@chapelhousefarmcampsite.co.uk or use the quick email form.
Bank Holidays are times of peak demand for us. This is not the time to come if you want a quiet break .The site and the whole valley is generally much busier
Below you can see our overspill field. This is only available for bank holidays late May and late August bank holidays, when lambing season is over. The first two bank holidays are restricted to one field alone.
If you’d like to book, just call or email us and we’ll reserve your space.(Six or more should always book or call ahead ) Alternatively, you can simply turn up and ask we generally have space but it is NOT guaranteed. Peak season weekends -especially warm ones are often full as we will not overcrowd . If we say no and you can see space it will be because bookings take precedence. We are not obliged to take anyone and will point you to other sites if we can not take you .
Please ensure you are familiarised with the required reading section before emailing or calling as we are a working farm without an office. We expect that you know the price and all other pertinent information – Then you also know if this is the right site for you – Thanks for your cooperation(
