Camping Frequently Asked Questions

 

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 extra long campervan it would be advisable to contact Thorn Park on 01395 579564 or email: 

backwoodsman222@gmail.com for all camping enquiries.

​

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 clubhous/barn and ask for Malcolm (aka McBuzz) or he may just appear at your pitch on his buggy runabout to say hello! 

​

Dogs

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

​​

Shuttle Bus/ Bus Stop 

There is a bus 'Folk 1' bus operated by Greenslades which  runs between Salcombe Regis and 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 device?

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

​

Alcohol at the Fringe

The Fringe is a grass roots event on a tight 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 be tempted to bring your own alcohol into the event. Thank you for your support.

​

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....
