Stage 3 – 17th May to 20th June 2021

Both Tristram Caravan Park & Southwinds Camping Park will be open and will have some toilet and shower facilities available

Toilets will be open 24 hours a day, but due to government guidelines we must limit the use of showers and discourage people from using them where they have their on onboard shower.

We still recommend for guests to be as self contained as possible.

Guests will be asked to sanitise the shower before and after each use in addition to our cleaning schedules

Guests must continue to adhere to social distancing rules at all times and wear a face covering in all communal area’s such as toilet and shower rooms along with the laundry and wash up rooms.

Southwinds Camping Park will start to accept tents providing we have been allowed to open the facilities.

The Government will lift most legal restrictions on meeting others outdoors, but gatherings of more than 30 people outdoors will remain illegal. Indoors, people will be able to meet socially in a group of 6, or with 1 other household

Stage 4 – 21st June 2021 onwards

The Government are proposing that all Social Distancing measure will be removed so you will be able to stay with more than 2 different households on your pitch (still a max of 6 people per pitch)

This is subject to change depending on the up to date data on how the transmission is spreading and any new variants.
