3. About the Park
If you pop into Reception we will give you a token for our luggage room for a £5 refundable deposit.
You will need to have written permission from the park before you are able to bring your campervan onto the park, please contact us here for more information.
You are able to bring more than 2 cars but would ask that you use the additional overflow carparks towards the rear of the park.
The nearest cashpoint to the park is at Geralds Supermarket just across the road. Please bear in mind that this cashpoint charges for the transaction.
The nearest free cashpoint is at Sainsbury’s supermarket.
You can collect your Crazy Golf clubs and balls from the Tropicana Fun Pools between 9am and 1pm and 2pm and 6pm.
Yes, we do allow barbecues; however, please respect your neighbours; keep the BBQ well away from your caravan; and, most importantly, do not dispose of the ashes in the bin until the following day when you are sure they are cold.
You must not put barbecues on the steps or verandas of your holiday home.
Because our grassy pitches here at Welcome are the perfect environment for ant nests, we occasionally have ant colonies. It is practically impossible to eradicate ants permanently, so in order to minimise their intrusion into our lives, please carefully dispose of food waste in the bins provided and empty them regularly.
Should these measures fail to deter the ants from paying you a visit, please let us know at Reception. But don’t worry: ants might be a nuisance, but those found in this country are absolutely harmless; they don’t sting or bite – they’re just hungry!
