Please make your booking directly to the campsite either via their website booking form or by telephone.
Please make sure when booking, either online or telephone that you state that you're with the "geocaching event". Could you please confirm your booking with the campsite first before logging your will attend.
When logging your intent to attend on this event page, can you please also state the number of adults, children and dogs and the nights that you will be camping.
For those of you wishing to attend but not wanting to camp, there will be an offsite meet at Blacksmiths Head; Newchapel Rd, Lingfield, Surrey RH7 9LE – from 12pm - 2pm on Saturday the 04 July 2015. The Log book will be at the pub during this time so that people can log the camping event by attending the offsite meet.
The pub is within easy walking distance of the campsite and car park isn't very big. Could any campers planning on attending the pub, could they consider using foot power instead of horse power please or arrange a car share?? The pub is dog friendly. Can you please indicate on your log if you intend to attend the pub part of the event as well so I can let the pub know rough numbers for staffing and ordering.

Note: Electrical hookups are available but only on a first come first serve basis. Discounts on the current prices shown above are a definite possibility but this depends upon the number of bookings the site receives from us, so it's important to state that you are part of the geocaching event when you make your booking.
The campsite did raise a concern about additional vehicles onsite from last year, if you plan to bring more than one vehicle camping, please let me know and the campsite beforehand. (It might incur an additional charge as the campsite is trying to discourage "trying the campsite into a car park") However if you're polite and accommodating which I know you all are, then I'm sure some arrangement can be agreed upon.
