Family pitch
This is suitable for an immediate family of up to two adults (18+) and four children aged 0-17 to bring their own caravans and tents on a self-catering basis.
Additional children and adults can be accommodated on the same pitch to a maximum of six people.
Families with only adult children (18+) will be asked to attend as Residents if all pitches have been allocated to young families and groups of young people.
Campsite bookings are for families—groups of young people only and individual bookings will not be accepted.
Young parents with one infant (0–4) could consider booking a Group Pitch as part of a larger group rather than a Family Pitch.

Practical points
Campers may arrive from 11:00am on Monday to set up camp and the site should be cleared by 3:00pm on Saturday. Early arrivals cannot routinely be accommodated and pitches must be cleared of all tents and caravans before leaving the site.
Each pitch includes a designated room in Gloucester Hall for shower and toilet. This room is not to be used as a bedroom and will not be stocked with towels, shower mat, toiletries, or bedding. Other shared showers and toilets are available nearby.
There is a laundry room with washers and dryers available.
There are water and waste disposal points nearby.
Campers have access to nearby kitchens with kettle, microwave, fridge, freezer and washing up facilities.
The campsite is located on the University’s sports pitches (see 34–36 on the Harper Adams campus plan).
Morning, afternoon and evening drinks are included along with the Friday evening family meal.
There are a variety of options to purchase food on campus, please see the Meals page.
