Camping Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much is it to camp?

Prices are from £12 per unit per night. Contact Thorn Park on 01395 579564 or email: backwoodsman222@gmail.com for a bespoke price and all other camping enquiries.

Do I need to book a camping pitch?

Generally for single tents, caravans and small campers it is not necessary to book. Just turn up and find a nice spot in the 19 acre site. If you are are large group or have a large campervan it would be advisable to contact Thorn Park on 01395 579564 or email:

​

Are there any electric hook ups?

There are just a few electric hook ups - but you have to be a very early bird to reserve one! 

​

How do I pay for camping?

Come to the barn and ask for Malcolm/McBuzz or he may just appear at your pitch on his gator runabout to say hello! 

​

Dogs

We only allow well-behaved dogs on short leads. Please pick up after your dog!

​

Bringing Alcohol to the Fringe

The Fringe is a grass roots event on a small budget - the main way we can recover our staging costs and help with artists fees is through money raised through bar sales. We have a great bar with a good range of local beers, lagers, ciders and spirits at reasonable prices - so please don't bring your own into the event. Thank you.

​

Shuttle Bus/ Bus Stop 

2025: There is a new independently run 'Folk 1' bus operated by Greenslades which will be running between Salcombe Regis to Sidmouth every 30 minutes - stoping/picking up outside Thorn Park for the duration of Folk Week. See full details here:

​

Do you have WiFi?

Ask at the barn for the code. 

​

Where can I charge my phone?

Ask at the Clubhouse we can usually find a plug somewhere!

​

Have you seen Malcolm/McBuzz?

McBuzz is of a generation who doesn't believe in mobiles or modern communication I'm afraid. Look out for the green gator runabout in the campfield if he's not behind the bar in the Clubhouse!

​

Who is McBuzz?

McBuzz is a mysterious character. Click hear for a glimpse....
