Metered Electricity
We are currently transitioning for 2026 season and electricity will no longer be automatically included in our pitch fees. This has enabled us to reduce our pitch fees and have a charge for electric on a fairer basis closer to the actual amount used, rather than an assumed amount.
The option to purcase electric credits is in the optional extras at the time of booking.
You can select £1 to £3 of electric per night depending on your own anticipated usage.
Your electric questions answered
- What is the unit rate of Electricty?
Our unit cost varies regularly, therefore we cant give an exact answer here.
However, it normally hovers around 30p per unit. The exact price will be displayed in our reception at the time of check in.
Please note: The rate of electricity we will be charging will be our cost price.
- Can I check / monitor how much credit is on the meter?
Yes, if you have a smart phone you can check how much credit is on the meter using the QR code.
- What if I do not need electric hook up?
If you do not need electric hook up, simply do not add any electric in the optional extras.
- How can I add extra electric credits?
Extra electric credits can be purchased at reception between 9:00 and 19:00 or later on nights that the bar is open.
- Can I buy electric credits out of office hours?
The reception is CLOSED between 9:00 and 19:00.
The sale of electric credits outwith these hours is at the discretion of the duty warden. There will be an administration charge of £10.
Please remember to check your meter before 19:00
- Can I purchase enough credits to charge my EV?
No, the supply to the pitches is not designed for the continuous very heavy draw of an EV charger.
We have a dedicated EV charger at reception.
- Why is there a limit of £3 per night?
To prevent any customer inadvertantly purchasing too many credits we have limited online purchases to £3 per night. If you think you will need more then this can be purchased at the time of check in.
Please note: Unused electric credits credits cannot be refunded once issued.
- I am a heavy electric user, can I purchase more than £3 per night?
Yes, you can add more credits at the time of check in.
Please note: Unused electric credits credits cannot be refunded once issued.
- What amperage is the EHU?
For 2026 all pitches will have a metered 10amp hook up. This will give a 2.3kw supply.
- What can you run on a 10amp supply?
A 10 amp supply will allow the use of electric items up to 2.3kw.
Using houshold items such as kettles, fan heaters, or a combination of items may cause the electric to trip out.
For example; you may be able to use a 2000watt kettle, but if you turn on a 2000watt fan heater at the same time this is 4kw and will overload the trip.
- I purchased £3 of electric but only used £2, will I get a refund?
Sorry, issuing refunds is not possible.
Any unused electric will be left on the meter a buffer for the next customer.
