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 is worth 11.5 Kilowatt hours per night. 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 handed a smartcard loaded with the credit for each night booked.
On arrival at your pitch, swipe the card across the 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. This will provide an extra £1 credit to last until reception opens.
Charging Electric Vehicles
You can now charge your electric vehicle from the service bollard on your pitch. Individual vehicles have different charging characteristics so we strongly advise guests to periodically check the credit remaining during vehicle charging.
