Donations and fees

---

Although we are allowed to collect an annual membership fee from members, our site licence does not allow us to charge non-members for visits. Therefore, we rely on donations from visitors, as suggested below.

A Family Unit is a maximum of 2 adults + 2 children. No charge is made for children under 5 so these are not included.

All persons aged 18 or over are classed as adults.

Description	££
Day visit (prospective members, non-members and guests of members) Note: pre-paid, proof of ID required, max. 3 days per year	Single £5 Family or Couple £8 [annual membership required before a 4th visit]
Addition for overnight camping, per night, applied to prospective members, non-members and guests of members (Up to 24 hours from time of arrival)	£3.00 single (making £8.00 total) £5.00 couple or family unit (making £13.00 in total)
Membership fee (annual) (reduced by 50% if joining between Oct-March)	£55.00 single £70.00 couple or family

Note: as the subs year runs Apr-March it can sometimes be cheaper for Prospective Members to pay Day Fees if joining late in a calendar year, and then join from April next. We will always advise the most economical way to join.
