General Site Rules:

Please ensure that all leaders and adult help over 18 years of age associated with your booking have current CRB clearance.

IDENTIFICATION – please wear identification such as a neckerchief, group tee shirt or badge to help all leaders and staff to identify which group you are from.

CAR PARKING is only permitted in the designated areas at the entrance to the Campsite. Trolleys are available to transport camping equipment to the sites. No cars are allowed passed the barrier without the warden’s permission. There is limited parking on site. As a courtesy to the neighbours, please avoid parking on the road verges.

FIRES- No new fire areas to be created. If the fire areas are insufficient, please approach the duty warden who will endeavour to supply portable altar fires. The duty warden will advise on the disposal of wood ash.

FIREWOOD – We try to provide as much natural wood as possible. This relies very much on the generosity of local tree surgeons and the site team whose job it is to chop it into usable pieces. Please take care to use wood sensibly and as economically as possible. We do not take kindly to wasteful burning! Trees (even dead ones) must not be cut unless with the express permission of the duty warden.

RUBBISH – all rubbish to be deposited in the appropriate container. Plastic sacks (tied and sealed please) in the wheelie bins, or the large bins adjacent to the Tuck Shop. Please use the correct bin – instruction on the front of the bins. For loose litter there are many bins around the campsite – please use them. The Quarries Service Team works hard to ensure the cleanliness of the campsite, but it is the responsibility of ALL users to see that dropped litter finds its way into a bin. -

ACCIDENTS – all accidents must be reported to the duty warden. Whilst there is a first aid kit on site, it is the responsibility of all camp leaders to ensure they bring adequate first aid supplies with them.

WASHING UP – The toilet block washbasins are not to be used for the cleaning of cooking utensils, or hot water taken from the toilet/shower blocks for the purpose of washing up. Please be careful with the use of water as the campsite water supply is metered. External sinks at the rear of the toilet block are available for washing up.

EQUIPMENT HIRE – the Quarries does have a certain amount of equipment that can be hired ie. Tables, benches, tents etc. There are also large Chess Pieces, Drafts and Boules.

NO SMOKING – there is a strict no smoking policy in all buildings on the campsite.

DOGS – in the interest of health and safety please refrain from allowing dogs on the campsite. (Guide Dogs, Assistance Dogs, Hearing Dogs will be allowed with prior permission.)

CAMPING SITES – On leaving the site please ensure you leave any camp site you have used tidy, litter free and return any excess wood to the wood pile. Failure to do this could result in loss of deposit or an extra charge if account has been paid in full.

BUILDINGS – please ensure when leaving the building you have occupied that it is clean and tidy (floors hovered/washed, fridge/freezer wiped out and switched off etc). Failure to do this could result in loss of deposit or an extra charge if account has been paid in full.

TOILET/SHOWER BLOCK – You are reminded that all Quarries Camp Site users are equally responsible for the cleanliness/cleaning of these facilities.
