This means you must keep all furniture, fittings and effects, (inside or outside) in the same state of repair and condition as at the start of your booking, and you agree to leave it clean and tidy. If you break these conditions, we may make an additional cleaning charge and/or make a claim against you for repair or loss as a result of damage caused.
You are expected to show due consideration for other people, including other guests, local residents and our staff. If you abuse the property or display dangerous or offensive behaviour towards the staff, landowners or any third party, we may refuse to allow you access to the property or ask you to leave before the end of your stay. If this happens, we will treat your booking as having been cancelled by you and you will not be entitled to any refund.
You are in a natural environment and as such you agree to respect all local flora and fauna. Any damage, wilful or negligent, will be taken seriously and may result in you and your party being requested to leave the campsite. In such cases we will treat your booking as having been cancelled by you and you will not be entitled to any refund.
You must allow us access to the accommodations at any reasonable time during your stay.
The number of people using the accommodation and camping pitches may not exceed the number agreed when booking.

Firewood
We do not guarantee the supply of free firewood. Occasionally we accept wood from local tree surgeons and builders that is made freely available to our guests in designated areas. This wood may require cutting and de-nailing before use, so you are advised to bring with you appropriate tools and safety ware as necessary as we do not provide these items. The collection and use of this wood is wholly undertaken at your own risk and we accept no responsibility or liability for any injury you or others may incur.
Bags of logs can be purchased from the site shop.
You must not cut wood from trees or otherwise on the campsite. Please use only firewood sold by Kingsdown Camping, brought by you onto the campsite or from the designated areas.

Special Requests
If you have special requests or needs, you are responsible for telling us at the time of booking. If you have a disability that may affect your stay at Kingsdown Camping please tell us before we confirm your booking. We will do our best to accommodate you but will let you know if we are not able to meet your needs.

If the problem is outside our office hours you can contact the duty manager using the phone in the red emergency phone box on the wall to the left of the office entrance.
