What are your arrival and departure times?
Camping is a self-service check-in. On arrival simply follow the signs to your camping area Camp. Wildflower pitches are marked out but guests staying in Fox Camp can pitch their tent wherever they like, remembering there is plenty of space so you don’t need to be too near your neighbour! We have mown areas for your ease. The map in the online welcome pack will help you locate your camp.
Our booking times run as follows:
Family Camping (Fox) – Check-in at 2pm, Check-out at 11am
Badger Camp & Adult Camping – Check-in at 3pm, Check-out at 11am
During peak times we have back-to-back bookings so we ask you to kindly vacate your pitch by the agreed time so as to give us a chance to make it lovely again for the next guest.
What time can i party to?
Night Pastures is a very quiet and tranquil site where people come to enjoy the restorative benefits of nature and the valley we are in resonates noise for miles around, we therefore have a strict 10pm curfew and ask that all noise is kept to a minimum after this time. Amplified music (including portable speakers) is strictly prohibited. Any guest or group causing a disturbance to other guests will be asked to leave the site immediately. Our site manager patrols the site at 10pm nightly to ensure that this rule is enforced
Is there parking?
Parking is available in the field adjacent to Night Pastures and access to the pitches is via a short walk across the field. You can unload your car from the drop-off zone by the gate where you will find wheelbarrows to help you move your luggage. Once unloaded, we ask that you move your car back to the main parking area to the right past the garages. For those staying at Fox Camp, there is a second cut-through at the top of the parking field. Please refer to the site map included in the guest welcome pack.
Please note that in order to preserve Night Pastures unique environment and meadow habitat, parking on your pitch is strictly prohibited. Baggage transfers by ATV can be pre-booked in advance. Please contact campHQ@nightpastures.com
Electricity and Wifi
As an off-grid site, there is no mains electricity available for campers to charge phones so we advise that you bring portable power packs if you need to stay connected throughout your stay. A stay at Night Pastures is all about switching off so we have consciously decided not to offer WiFi to our guests however there are 4G and 5G signals in parts of the field so you won’t be completely cut off. There is no lighting at Night Pastures so torches and camping lights are essential items for campers to bring with them.
Anything else I should know?
Guest numbers staying on adult pitches are restricted by the topography of the land so most adult pitches can only take 2 small tents. There is no restriction on the number of tents per pitch on Fox Camp and we do not charge extra for gazebos.
Badger and Fox Camps are quite a walk from the drop off area and this can be hard work if you are bringing very large tents and lots of equipment. It is not possible to drive cars onto the meadow at any time.
