Dorset DA Rules Page.

 

Please familiarise yourself with the Camping and Caravanning Club rules, the Countryside Code and the Code for Campers.  These can be found in your “Big Sites Book” or on the Dorset DA website.  Here are a few to bear in mind.

    • Campers must not arrive before the published opening time and must not occupy the site in the absence of the appointed Steward.  To do so is outside the provisions of the Club’s Exemptions under which Club Meets and Temporary Holiday Sites are held.
    • All members, upon arriving on site, should report to the appointed Steward before pitching their unit.
    • Proof of Club membership is to be shown by all members attending camping events when properly requested to do so by the appointed Steward.
    • Vehicle speed must not exceed 5mph.
    • Members must collect waste water in a receptacle and should not allow it to overflow and foul the camping ground.
    • Dogs and other pets must be kept under control at all times. No animal is allowed to be loose on the site and must always be on a lead not longer than 2 metres if outside a unit. Members must remove any droppings left by their pets. 
    • It is forbidden to fly kites and model aircraft or to use catapults, airguns, firearms, bows and arrows or similar items on site. Ball games are permitted only with the agreement of the Steward, on an open space well away from camping units. Campers may only use generators with the Steward’s permission.  If a Steward considers the use of a generator to be causing a nuisance then he may ask the camper to stop using the generator or else leave the site.
    • Noise should be kept at a minimum from radios, televisions and other sources such as generators, and there should be no noise whatsoever between 11pm and 7am.
    • If a Steward feels a member’s behaviour, or the behaviour of a member’s children or pets, is causing a nuisance, the Steward is permitted to ask a member to cease the behaviour or leave the site.
    • Members attending a Club Meet must take their refuse home with them if receptacles are not provided.
    • All members must ensure that their pitch is left clear of litter on their day of departure from the site
    • Members should vacate their pitch on the day of departure at the time requested by the site owner.
    • Vacated pitches must be left clear of all property and refuse.  Please remember this includes Cigarette ends, sweet wrappers, tissue paper etc.
