Prices

2026 tariffs for pitches, the safari tents, Potting Barn and Mawgies; a 2027 tariff is also published on the same pages (not recorded here). Pitch prices cover 2 people with one accommodation, awning, pup tent, gazebo and a car. Winter column is blank for the small and non-electric pitches (not offered). Extra adult/child rates in the people list are the pitch rates; glamping extras are given in the rate notes. Extra-large electric winter price (41) is higher than its low season price (36) exactly as printed. Check the website for exact 2026 date boundaries as the camping, touring and glamping pages differ by a few days in April.
