Camping pitches are available from 3pm on day of arrival until 12pm on your day of departure. Please let us know if you are going to arrive later than 7pm so that arrangements can be made.
We reserve the right to charge for damage caused by guests, their family or pets. We hereby formally disclaim any liability for any losses or injury sustained by guests or their property, except where negligence on the part of ourselves or our staff is legally provable. We reserve the right to refuse any reservation request at our own discretion.
There is one car parking space provided per pitch. Due to the nature of the site additional cars by prior arrangement only.
Unless you are hiring the entire site, we must stress that this is a family friendly site and not suitable for groups who want to party all night long! For this reason, we do not accept groups larger than 6 pitches. We ask campers to keep noise to a minimum after 10.30pm. We can recommend suitable campsites for large parties and you are very welcome to use our boats and cafe if you do decide to stay elsewhere.
BOOKINGS & ALTERATIONS TO BOOKINGS: To secure a booking, you will be asked for a £20 deposit per pitch (this is non-refundable) if booking prior beginning of the season, with the balance due at least 12 weeks prior arrival. If booking within the current season, full payment will be required. There will be a £20 admin fee should you need to change the dates or number of pitches of your booking.
CANCELLATION BY YOU: Please only book with us if you are certain you can come. You may cancel your holiday at any time providing that the cancellation is made by the person who booked the holiday and should be communicated to us in writing. However we will apply cancellation charges shown as follows:
CANCELLATION FEES :
From booking to 8 weeks prior to departure – £20 per pitch
8 weeks – 4 weeks 50% of total
Less than 4 weeks 100% of total
Should we be unable to proceed with your booking due to Covid, you will be offered the choice of a refund or credit for another time. However, if decide to cancel a booking that could otherwise go ahead, the usual T&C’s will apply.
FOR ANYTHING CORONAVIRUS RELATED, PLEASE SEE OUR LATEST INFO AT: https://bodiamboatingstation.co.uk/opening-contacts/coronavirus/
We strongly recommend that you take out holiday cancellation insurance.
It is regretful that no refunds can be given if guests depart prior to the end of the booked holiday, unless they do so as the result of the breach of some obligation on our part which would justify cancelling the holiday.
Boat Trips & Boat Hire – We take bookings without pre-payment with faith that customers will keep their appointment. We reserve the right to charge if the number of passengers or duration is reduced without 24 hours notice as this limits our chance to re-sell seats/boats.
