Camp it up




One of the reasons we booked the site is so that our friends could camp all weekend. We wanted our wedding to be a bit like a festival but without the vomiting teens setting fire to grasshoppers or the queues for rancid toilets. So the camping situation is this:

You can arrive any time after 12 pm on Friday.
You have to leave on Monday morning.

Access is via a single unmade road but is suitable for cars. For those with mobilty issues you can drive right to the door of the marquee. The area round the marquee is flat grassland.

Our site is the John Muir National Park so it's very beautiful and peaceful (til we arrived.)
There are some nice grassy flat areas for camping near the cabin and for more privacy and adventure some little places to set up tent down towards the beach.



There will be one portaloo and the woods for boys- make do!
There will be one flushing loo with soap, towels, flowers, toilet paper, nice magazines for girls and children.

There aren't any showers. We're thinking of getting some solar showers. Maybe you will just have to be less than fresh by Monday. There's the sea. Or maybe someone will have booked a cottage nearby and let you use that.

We will be staying on the site, but on the Friday before I (ali) will be removing myself with my posse to a place of civilisation and pampering. The boys will stay with the fire and the barrels. Oh dear!

Please let us know if you want to camp so we can have an idea how many tents to expect.

If camping fills you with horror go to the accommodation page where there are lots of suggestions for Bed and Breakfasts, hotels and cottages.
