Would you like to use your spare or unproductive land to start running a Caravan and Camping Certificated Site?

No Planning Permission or Site Licence is required to operate a site for an exempted organisation.
 
Sites are certified for 5 caravans for recreational purposes. 

No one caravan or tent can stay on site for more than 28 days. 

The site can also be used for camping if space permits, for up to 60 days per calendar year under our Public Health Act (1936) section 296 exemptions.

There is no charge for the certificate and you keep all of the income raised by site fees.

In order to become a Certificated Site the site must go through an application process and meet our Site standards, which have been verified by Natural England (DEFRA).

Our Exempted Caravan & Camping team and our volunteer Site Officers assess the site when you first apply, before listing the site for use by our members, and then prior to annual repeat listing.

At least half an acre of land – fairly level, and well maintained

Screening from neighbours and surrounding countryside.  A breathtaking view (a real bonus!)

Safe Access – for cars, caravans or motorhomes, including 12ft wide gateway and safe approach road when entering and leaving the site.

Drinking Water - within 100 metres of the site, with appropriate soakaway

Waste Disposal – a dustbin which is regularly emptied could be enough

Sanitation – a suitable facility for the emptying of chemically treated toilets must be provided, called a Chemical Disposal Point

            Sites are for recreational use and not for storage or permanently sited vans.

Other facilities (Electrical hook ups, Showers and toilets, Hardstandings) will be welcomed, but the above simple requirements are all you need to join our network of sites.
