All you need to know about booking your pitch at Kempsford Camping.
Kempsford Camping will be open from Monday, 14th until Monday, 21st July 2025 (last night to stay, Sunday, 20th July). Depending on
ground conditions and other factors, it MIGHT be possible to stay on Monday night for Departures but this will be decided nearer the time. Cash will be
taken on the gate once onsite for extended stays.
We open the website for bookings from October/November. Once we hit capacity, online bookings will close. Keep an eye on our social media to see if/when spaces open up or you can get in touch with us direct. We may
operate a waitlist to fill any cancellations. This is on a first come first serve basis. Please contact us direct by email with your contact details, arrival/departure dates,
number of people in your party and how many guests you will have. There are no guarantees that we will be able to offer you a pitch.
Yes you can book as many as required. Please note that all fees are payable in full at the time of booking. Your pitch(es) are not guaranteed unless you pay in full. Each booking represents one pitch. For more pitches please make separate bookings. If members of your party are arriving on different days, please use the form to include them, adding the number of nights per person.
If you are not sure at the time of booking, please contact us in advance and pay on the gate on arrival.

Clearly marked pitches, loos, showers, optional electrical hook-ups. These are limited and can be selected under 'Pitch type'. If there
is no option listed then we have sold out. Water points, refuse disposal areas, caravan loo chemical disposal points, a shop for all basic essentials, first
aid tent, a beer tent and food concessions.
The hook-up is a standard Caravan 16 amp C form socket, rated at 5 amps only. You can run 1250 watts on this hook up. If you add more
to the load then you will trip out your direct neighbours as 2 pitches share a 10 amp breaker in the fuse box. Please DO NOT run standard household kettles or toasters (which
typically run at 2500/3000 watts each) as this will trip the supply. Please bring a long lead or two, so you can connect to the box. We will have some spares available to borrow for a returnable
deposit if you forget.
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome. We ask that all those bringing a dog to please make sure it is under control at all times and is
cleaned up after!
