Touring
All our pitches include room for an awning, at no extra charge. However, during the winter months (October-March) we will not be allowing any awnings up on site. During our season months, all types of awnings will only be allowed at the discretion of Gateway Resort. A member of our team will contact you prior to arrival to inform you if awnings are not allowed during your stay. Our decision is based on many factors, such as the weather forecast and the condition of the ground/pitches.
Sorry, we do not currently offer caravan storage.
We don’t allow window-less vans or commercial/sign-written vehicles on site – but you are welcome to drive up to your pitch to unload, then we would ask you to leave your van in our main car park (no charge). For safety reasons we also don’t allow windowless vans on site – again you are welcome to unload at your pitch, then we ask you to leave the van in our main car park. If you are unsure, please ask a member of our friendly Reception team.
Yes! We are more than happy to accept rally bookings for caravan groups, subject to availability. Please call or email us ([email protected]) with all the details so we can work out the best deals for you!
No, it’s handy to have it with you but it’s not essential. We generally ask for your surname on check-in & ask that you bring with you an up-to-date form of photo ID with your address, that matches the address on the booking (such as a driving license).
We normally ask for a 50% deposit on booking, and the remainder is normally due a week before you arrive. Once the deposit has been paid some people prefer to make regular small payments to spread the cost out a bit before they arrive. This is also fine – just give us a call and you can pay by card over the phone.
Yes, we currently have 3 waste disposal points on site. We have one in our main carpark as you drive out, which is suitable for motorhomes. The other Elsan points are located to the side of Shower Block 1, and in our Camping Field.
Yes! Click here for all the info on our seasonal pitches.
No, but we have cosy, heated Glamping Pods available to book. See more details here.
Our ‘Rally Field’ can accommodate larger tents – the price for the pitch is based on the amount of people sharing the tent, rather than the size of the tent. Please call our Reception team if you are unsure about the size of your tent, and they can talk you through our available pitches.
We generally accept tourers & motorhomes up to around 28ft in length. We have a few pitches that are slightly longer than others, so if you have a larger sized unit please call our Reception team so we can see what is available for you.
Yes, of course…if you’re enjoying yourselves then we’d love you to stay longer! Just speak to our friendly Reception team and if your pitch is available we’d be delighted to extend your holiday booking. It is subject to availability, so please check as soon as possible!
If you will be arriving after 5pm, can you please give our Reception Team a call on 01554750100. Any arrivals after 8pm incur a £10 charge.
You can check-in any time from 1pm onwards. We ask that you check-out any time before mid-day. If you would like a late check-out (or require an earlier check-in) please speak to one of our friendly Reception team. If your pitch is available we are more than happy to arrange this for you. Please note it is difficult for us to arrange late check-outs during busy school holiday & bank holiday periods, in these cases we would recommend booking the extra night, as late check-outs are rarely available.
If you are staying in our Glamping Pods, check-in is any time after 3pm, and check-out is before 10am.
We understand families may need more than one car, especially if you are here for longer than a couple of days. On arrival, you are welcome to bring the second vehicle through to your pitch to unload. Once you have unloaded you can leave your second vehicle in our main car park at no extra charge.
All our pitches have space for one car to park next to your tent or caravan. However if you are pitched on one of our grass fields during particularly wet weather, we may ask you to park off the grass to avoid getting stuck in the field!
Sorry, no. Due to health & safety, fire regs & insurance purposes we only allow one tent or one caravan per pitch. The only exception is if you would like to put a small pup tent on your pitch for storage purposes only. You can add this on at the time of booking for an extra £2 per night.
Yes, if you have any special needs please let us know at the time of booking. We will add notes to your booking and do our best to accommodate your requests. We cannot guarantee a particular pitch, especially during busy periods, but we will always try to satisfy your requirements.
If you would like pitches next door, or adjacent, to friends and family please let us know at the time of booking and we will do our best to try and keep you all together. However, due to guests arriving and departing on different dates, and guests requesting to extend stays once they are here, we cannot guarantee that the pitches will be together. We will put notes in your booking though, and do our utmost to keep you close.
Electric is on a meter and is topped up via a smart card. For short stay breaks we provide you with a set amount of electric per night (15 units a night during the colder winter months, and 10 units a night during the warmer summer months). This is usually sufficient for most people. The electric meter will give you a unit countdown, so if you run out – or if you’re running low – you can top up your electric card either at Reception, or at the Bar if Reception is closed at an additional cost.
If you are booking for a month or longer, electric is not included in the price and you will need to top up your electric card as and when required.
No, you will need to bring your own electrical supply cable. These are normally around 25m long with a giant 3 pin plug at the end. They can be purchased from most caravan/camping/outdoor shops.
On our pitches with electric hook-up we provide a 3-pin connector rated at 16 amps (standard for most UK campsites) We have one field-our Wallabies Field-which is only 6 amps, and which is therefore only suitable for tents.
We offer:
- Hardstanding with electric hook-up suitable for touring caravans, motorhomes, campervans & trailer tents. This is on our Dragons Field, Rally Field & Ospreys Field. All pitches include room for an awning, at no extra charge. (T&Cs apply- please see ‘are awnings allowed?’ above)
- Grass with electric hook-up suitable for tents ONLY; on our Wallabies field.
- Basic Grass without electric suitable for tents, trailer tents, touring caravans, motorhomes, campervans; on our Camping Area.
Our prices are based on up to 4 people in a caravan or tent. Any additional people are charged at £3 extra per person, per night. Children under the age of 5 are free.
No, sorry, we don’t currently offer any discounts for members of the Caravan & Camping Club
Yes, of course. A family holiday wouldn’t be the same without your little four-legged friends! We accept a maximum of 2 dogs per pitch, at no extra charge. Please keep your dogs on a lead at all times around the campsite, and please ensure any mess is cleaned up after them or you’ll receive a fine. Dogs are not allowed inside our main Complex area, but you are welcome to sit outside with them on our Bar patios which are enclosed and heated during the colder months! There are lots of lovely walks for them along the estuary too, with direct access from our site. We now also have a dog friendly Glamping pod on site- please make sure to book the correct one.
Unfortunately, no. We have experienced too many issues in the past with campfires leading to noise disturbances late into the night, and also damage to our fields. We have therefore taken the decision to no longer accept campfires or firepits.
You are welcome to enjoy a BBQ on site (it’s part of what camping is all about, we love a bbq!). For safety reasons, and to help keep our fields nice and green, please ensure BBQs are raised off the grass and kept well away from any gas bottles or trees.
We sincerely hope you will not need to cancel your holiday with us; however, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. Should cancellation become necessary, several options are available:
If you wish to retain your holiday but simply adjust the dates of your booking, we can hold the amount you have paid as a credit until you determine your new travel dates. Please provide us with at least 48 hours' notice to allow time for us to resell your pitch. Your credit will remain valid for up to one year.
Additionally, you have the option of adding our ‘Holiday Protection Plan’ at the time of booking for an extra £3 (or £10 if your booking is for a month or longer). This plan allows you to receive a refund of the amount paid, minus the cancellation fee, provided you give us at least 48 hours' notice.
Please note that if you cancel after 48 hours but before 24 hours, you will be eligible for a 50% credit on your account for future stays within the year; however, refunds are not available. Regrettably, if you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, you will forfeit the amount paid, as we cannot offer a refund or credit in such cases.
