TERMS & CONDITIONS         Updated 20/01/10

Bookings & fees are accepted on the understanding that all these terms & conditions are observed. The proprietors shall not be liable to any persons visiting the site for any personal injury, damage to property etc., howsoever caused.

1. Greendale is exclusively for OVER 18s.

2. ARRIVAL is strictly AFTER 1.30pm, unless negotiated otherwise. We ask people not to arrive before this time because, as a small site, we simply have nowhere to put you if the previous people are still here!  We are also very busy between 12.00 & 1.30pm & need an interval to cut grass etc.  DEPARTURE is by 12.00pm on all days.  We may not rush you off if no one is following onto your pitch but please check first if you wish to stay later!  

3. PITCHING: We do show you to your pitch but, for your information, you must be 6 metres [20ft] away from any other unit; the only exception being tents that are together. These are our site licence requirements. We also ask you to consider other campers when pitching, who may later arrive next to you.

4. VISITORS must be over 18, booked in advance & report to reception on arrival. Please ensure that your visitors park outside, unless arranged otherwise [tucked into the hedge & not blocking caravan exit/entry.]   Up to 30 minutes visit is free but for longer please negotiate with us. All visitors must have left by 10.00pm. Being a small site we cannot cope with more visitors than campers & at times may have to limit numbers. Plus, for your own safety, we must know who is on site & campers who do not register their guests may be asked to leave.

5. We are currently considering whether to remain virtually NON SMOKING, as started in 2009, or move to being 100% NON SMOKING.  We are discussing with some of our regulars and will make a decision soon. Contact us for clarification.

6. A DOG is only accepted if it is well trained & had all necessary jabs. More than one dog, or any other pet, has to be negotiated in advance.  Your dog must be kept on a short lead, at all times, & exercised off site to avoid unsightly brown patches. Greendale is not suitable for yappy dogs! A few breeds are no longer accepted. Dogs may NOT be left unattended in vans, unless a specific agreement is made with the owners. Basically, if your dog won’t upset a neighbour, who may not be a dog lover, then it is welcome, but, if it is likely to yap or growl, at someone walking past, then Greendale is not the right site. Two dogs are the maximum, but, as with any other pet, must be negotiated in advance.

7. NO CYCLING on site, this side of the gates.

8. BALL GAMES are not permitted, except a small game of pétanque/boules, away from caravans, when conditions allow.

9 .Respect the QUIET nature of the site: Greendale is promoted as a quiet site, so please do not have music or TV that your neighbours can hear! We prefer not to have rules about times to be quiet at night but ask you to use your common sense and show respect for others who may retire earlier, or get up later, than you.  Do check & remember voices travel more at night, especially from inside canvas or in the open air. 

10. Book in BEFORE using the heated SWIMMING POOL Please note that there are no lifeguards. See the swimming sheet for more information.

11. COMMERCIAL VEHICLES & GROUPS of more than two couples [booked tog. or separately] are not accepted.

12. Use of air conditioning units are not normally allowed unless negotiated.

13. Help us maintain an attractive, natural site by:

NOTE. We reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone, whether booked or not. The owners also reserve the right to ask anyone to leave instantly, without refund, who cause an unnecessary nuisance or, in the owner’s opinion, disrupt the site character. This has only happened once in 9 years & we really hope, & expect, that there will never be a need to implement again at Greendale!

BOOKING POLICY

Many of our pitches don’t get a single gap for over three months & before opening each season we could book out every weekend for the year. That would block many of our longer stay visitors so consequently we have had to adopt a different booking procedure.

1. Priority is given to longer stays, then mid week bookings or visits of 5+ days, if over a weekend.

2. Weekend bookings [1, 2 or 3 days] are not released until a few days before. We will however take names in reserve for these and we can often find you a pitch on another site if you are unsuccessful with us.

 We also operate a last minute list for ANY weekend. Request to be put on this list & give us your email address & type of outfit. We will contact you if a space is/becomes available.  

3. For Peak Season/Bank Holidays, priority is given to bookings of a minimum of 6 days, except the May Day W/E .

Contact us for more information:  enq@rutlandgreendale.co.uk *or telephone  01664 474516 between 8.45am & 7.00pm.  See the availability calendar on our website www.rutlandgreendale.co.uk  

*Telephone bookings open on March 20^th. However, prior to this, bookings of a week, or longer, will be accepted if made by post or email.
