Camping with Electricity Meters

Electricity metering is a fair-use policy for guests. You can choose how much electricity you require for your tent, caravan or motorhome according to your own personal preferences.
Each party receives a non-refundable credit at check-in. If you’d like more electricity, you can purchase more and if you buy more than you use, the balance will be refunded when you check-out.

How Much Will it Cost?

  • Top-ups or additional purchases are charged at £0.26 per unit (Kilowatt Hour) which is below the price charged by most energy suppliers. The park is prohibited, by law, from reselling electricity for more than its purchase price.
  • Your £3 credit per night is worth 11.5 Kilowatt hours. This means you could use a 1Kw heater for 11.5 hours daily completely free. Electricity credits will be £2 per night for 2027 season.
  • How Does the Electricity Metering Work?

  • When checking in, each party will be given a smartcard, loaded with the credit for each night booked.
  • On arrival at your pitch, swipe the card across panel on the hook-up bollard. This transfers credit to the meter.
  • Top-ups can be purchased from reception during opening hours: 9am – 4pm, seven days a week.
  • Please return your smartcard to reception at departure time. All unused credit will be refunded to you.
  • What if the amount of Credit is Close to Running out at Night?

  • If you should run low on credit, the smart meter emits a low audible warning.
  • Press the ‘Emergency’ button on the meter which will provide £1 in credit to last until reception opens.
  • If you have additional questions about our electricity metering, please call our reception team 01904 728697
