What cleaning protocols are in place?

The Campsite facilities are cleaned regularly and we have purchased state of the art cleaning equipment to help with this.

What are my cleaning responsibilities whilst staying at the Campsite?

We have provided disinfectant spray and reusable cleaning cloths or blue roll in all shower rooms, toilets and communal areas within the utility block. We encourage customers to wipe down any surface they touch after they have finished using the area and put the reusable cloth into the laundry receptacle provided once complete. We recommend that you wipe down surfaces before use as well.

Can I use my own cleaning supplies?

Please do not use your own disinfectant spray in the utility block. As part of our cleaning protocols we will routinely be spraying all surfaces with an electrostatic spray solution which protects against Covid-19, and the provided disinfectant spray is designed to work in conjunction with this. Other disinfectants may inadvertently remove the electrostatic solution.

Will there be hand sanitisers available?

There are hand sanitisers located at the entrance and exit of the building as well as situated throughout the facility and grounds. We also recommend you bring your own supply of hand sanitiser just to be on the safe side.
