Q Is
there a bus from East Fleet into Weymouth?
A There is a bus service that runs from the park
during Whitsun week and also during
July and August. Outside these dates there
are regular buses from the end of our
lane (about 1/2 mile).
Q. What time can I arrive?
A Pitches are available from 11am on
arrival day, reception is generally open until 8pm and
barriers close after 10pm so please make sure you
are here by then - a late arrivals area is
located just outside the entrance barriers to
park for the night. We only have limited space
outside the reception so please try not to arrive
before 11am.
Q. Can I stay late on departure date?
A. During the shoulder season this is
usually no problem, please enquire at reception and we
just ask for a donation into our charity
box. During the peak times it is more difficult
to accommodate late departures if the pitch
is booked for the next arrival. Although you may
park your caravan or trailer in our car
park for the day - please check with reception on
location.
Q . Where is the nearest beach?
A. We are on the shores of the Fleet
Lagoon, and although there are great walks and views
from the park the shoreline is not suitable
for swimming as it is similar to an estuary.
The nearest safe sandy beach is Weymouth
which is 3 miles away.
Q. Can I book a specific pitch?
A. We will always do our best to
accommodate you in your favourite area, but we can not
guarantee specific pitch numbers will be
available.
Q. Can I park by my tent or caravan?
A. Yes, all the pitches are numbered and
allocated with plenty of space for parking and bbqs
etc.
Q. I have a large unit and would like to bring
a large group - is that ok?
A. Generally we will only accept
bookings for one family in each unit. This is because whilst
your tent or caravan may sleep 8 - 10
people or more, we have found from past experience
that it can cause problems if the weather
turns bad and you are all cooped up in a confined space.
Q. Can I book next to friends?
A. Yes, that is fine, we will accept a
party of up to 3 families together. It is easier for us if the
pitches are all booked under one name so
that we can make sure we keep the bookings
together.
Q. Can I bring a dog, cat or other pet?
A. Yes, please see our doggie page for
canine information. Cats and other pets are most
welcome, we have had a wide variety of pets
visit us in the past - tortoise, guinea pigs,
rabbits - even a skunk and an owl!! - just
make sure you bring adequate security for them
as we would hate them to become the local
foxes next snack!
Q. Where is the nearest fishing?
A. There are plenty of sea fishing both
from boats or the nearby on Chesil Beach at either
Portland or Abbotsbury (both approx 3
miles). The nearest course fishing can be found
inland North or Dorchester (approx 10
miles).
Q. What happens if I need to cancel my
holiday?
A. If you are not happy with any
aspect of your booking, any changes/cancellations can be
made within 7 days of issue of
confirmation for a full refund of deposit. After this time the
deposit becomes non-refundable for
whatever reason, however if you give us reasonable
notice of cancellation, we can hold
your deposit for use against a future stay with us
within the same season as the
original booking.
Q. Can we look around the farm and
animals?
A. Sorry but our farmyard area is
a fully working farm and not set up for visitors. There
are always plenty of animals around
in the nearby fields, Chickens and pheasants are
up by the farm houses and if you
listen really hard you might hear Clemmy and
George our Donkeys.
Q. Can I get my ice blocks frozen?
A. Yes, there is a freezer located
outside the reception for freezing ice blocks (please note that
there is no charge for this and
they are left at your own risk). Please don't fill bottles with
water or put fish or any food
stuff in this freezer as it stops everything else from freezing.
Q. Can I get Camping Gaz and Calor Gas
refills?
A. Our shop can swap bottles for you, or
you can buy new bottles from us, we also stock small
cartridges for camping stoves.
Q. Can I top-up my mobile phone?
A. Yes, we can sell you e-top ups for
all major networks, we can also charge phones, cameras,
laptops etc - please remember to
bring your own chargers.
Q. Can I get Breakfast in the Old Barn?
A. Sorry but at the moment we can't
offer breakfasts in the Old Barn. We can
recommend The Lugger Inn, in Chickerell
village that do a smashing fry up
