Safety and Etiquette

Willow Lake – Guest & Dog-Friendly Rules

Welcome!
We want everyone - humans and pets - to stay safe and enjoy the peace of our countryside campsite. By booking, you agree to our rules.

 

Dogs:

We love dogs - we have our own! To help keep all our guests safe and comfortable, we ask that you provide details about your dog when enquiring.

As dogs on our campsite will be off lead within their enclosed pitch, we cannot accommodate dogs that are reactive, aggressive, or easily triggered by other dogs or people.

All bookings with dogs are subject to the wardens' approval and are accepted at their discretion.

We cannot accept dogs on the UK banned breeds list. If you are enquiring with Bull breeds, German Shepherds or other large breeds, we will ask for additional information about your dog's training, temperament, and behaviour before accepting a booking.
Guests or dogs not disclosed on the booking enquiry will not be allowed entry to the site.
