Eastnor Castle 24 – 28 September 2020

Post by Jillygumbo » Tue Dec 03, 2019 10:57 am

Having spoken with Bob we're going to Eastnor Castle Deer Park again this year.

For our weekend proposed dates are Thursday 24 to Monday 28 September.

https://eastnorcastle.com/stay/deer-park-campsite/

The cost per night is £10.00 per unit. Please go to the website and book and pay online. You must leave 6 metres between units.

This is a lovely location, but be aware facilities are 'Basic', water and a **it pit. Nothing else so please don't expect showers/hook up/toilet - you must have your own loo.

Looking forward to seeing regulars and welcoming new peeps. :D

Thanks Jilly. :D

One of our favourites, and very reasonable.

They normaly do 1/2 price vouchers for castle admission for campers, but please ask for these when you pay us, we do not have a stock of them.

Be great to see everyone there. 8)

I've put this on my calendar as well but not certain yet, as I might be up in Scotland after chasing some SuP's down the Caledonian canal!

UPDATE: This meet is ON.

Please book and pay online at https://eastnorcastle.com/stay/deer-park-campsite/.

Reminder you must have your own toilet facilities. There is only drinking water, grey water and a tank in the ground for your 'business'.

£10 per unit per night.

You must ensure you pitch 6 metres apart (other than your own 'bubble').

Bring firewood for the firepits.

Still good at a tenner. 8)

Both I and Bob would prefer if you booked and paid Online as everyone else is doing that. This keeps it simple for the Castle staff and us.

Can you do that?

Otherwise, yes, as an exception that will be OK.

I've edited the original post, and booking update post to remove 'ask to be with Bongos and Friends' as there is no option to do this when booking and paying online.

You'll find us, the Deerpark is big enough!
