Our Pitches - Terms and Conditions

By making a holiday booking you accept the following Terms & Conditions:


The Greener Camping Club
In order to comply with countryside planning policy, we operate as a Greener Camping Club members-only campsite. The Club was established by people with a passion for sustainable, eco-friendly camping holidays. When you book your holiday with us, you will be enrolled as a member of the Club. Membership costs just £12.00 for the calendar year and gives you access to some of the greenest campsites in the UK. It also includes participation in the Club’s ‘Trees for Life’ scheme, whereby a tree is planted for every member we enrol.
Payment
We request a 50% non -refundable deposit at the time of booking a camping pitch. Receipt of the deposit secures your booking. Please note that the deposit includes full paymentfor your Greener Camping Club membership. (£12.00) Pitches are held provisionally for up to ten days after which, if we have not received your deposit, the dates may be released. The balance is required six weeks prior to your arrival date. If we do not receive your balance by this time we will try our very best to contact you but if we can't we will assume you have cancelled your holiday and release the dates - see below. For short lead-time bookings - ie. those booked less than six weeks before arrival, the full amount will be requested to secure the booking.
Cancellation by You
If you cancel your holiday six weeks or more before your arrival date we will refund your balance less a 20% admin fee and the £12.00 Greener Camping Club membership fee (which is not refundable). The Greener Camping Club membership fee is not refundable. If you need to cancel your booking less than 6 weeks before arrival we will try to re-let the pitch but if we are unable to no refund will be made.
Bookings are not transferable to another family without our prior agreement in writing. If you are concerned about the prospect of cancellation, please take out holiday insurance. Please see further info below.
Cancellation by Us
We reserve the right to cancel a camping holiday at short notice if we are unable to provide safe camping environment, due to extreme weather conditions, ill health, fire, flooding or any other extenuating circumstances beyond our control. Under such circumstances, your full payment will be returned to you. King's Mill Camping cannot accept liability or responsibility for any loss, including consequential loss, caused by cancellation. The Greener Camping Club membership fee is not refundable.
The Castle Martin Range
Please ensure that you have been on our website and familiarised yourself with our location in regards to the Castlemartin Firing Range. This untouched and remote beautiful section of the coastline is an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is open to the public at specific times to enjoy. However is is a live firing range and our proximity means that we can be affected by noise at times and access to some parts of the coastal path can be restricted during certain hours. They DO NOT fire through the month of August or over the two weeks of the Christmas school holidays. They never fire on weekends and never on a bank holiday. For more information please refer to the 'Further Reading about King's Mill' section on our website. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
Children & Adults Safety
There are many opportunities for play and adventure at King's Mill. Our aim is for children to have a truly enriching experience of space and freedom. But there are contingent risks to be aware of. We permit campfires, we have a couple of axes for making kindling and splitting firewood, there is a shallow stream bounding the land, there are horses, sheep and cows in the adjoining fields there are tractors and machinery around. We are also in the process of renovating some outbuildings and continue with the restoration of the Mill. These risks are small and should be self-evident - but if you are not clear, please ask! King's Mill accepts no responsibility for injury incurred on site. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children on site at all times.

If you wish to explore the woodland and Fort you do so at your own risk. The woodland walk is through the protected ancient woodland. Some areas are out of bounds especially the Mill and leat . Many things can cause injury. Branches fall, people can trip, ankles can be twisted and people fall off rope swings. On top of that woodland plants and mushrooms that should not be touched or eaten can make you very ill.
