Toilets & Showers
We pride ourselves on our toilet block. We know just how important it is, even when roughing it, to have somewhere clean to go to the toilet, be able to have a good wash & a free hot shower. Our toilet blocks are cleaned on a regular basis and are amongst the best in the UK
 
   
Internet Access
Probably the best IT Suite on a Scout Camp Site in the world, as featured in the "Shouting for Scouting" video, our IT Suite can either be booked exclusively for a group activity or at other times, available for free use for visitors to check their e-mail, order food deliveries from Tesco direct to site, check the weather, chat to other Scouts worldwide or find local attractions.
 
   
The "Tuck Inn" Providore
Full of the usual sweets, soft drinks, badges & gifts, our providore is open at set times each day or by arrangement to suit your programme. Ice-cream & Lollies in Summer and a small range of emergency supplies such as washing-up liquid, pan scourers etc.
 
   
Wet Weather Shelter
"The Barn" hosts a huge wet weather shelter which is available for all site users to retreat to if the weather just gets too damp to cope. Free of charge but not available for exclusive use sorry.
   
     
Office Facilities
Access to photocopying, laminating, faxing is readily available at cost on request to all site users.
   
     
Telephone Kiosk
A coin-operated payphone is available at all hours in camp centre. Most mobile phone reception is either poor or non-existent on-site although a short walk down the lane usually gives reception for most networks.
   
     
Have-U-Got Store
For many years, we were inundated with people arriving at reception with the "Have you got a football we can borrow? Have you got some chairs or benches for loan? Have you got a tug-of-war rope? and so on. To ease these requests, we built the "Have-U-Got" Store which contains all those useful things that you tend to forget to take on camp. If you're short of something, pop into reception and ask "Have you got.........."
   
     
Table & Bench Hire
A number of high quality wooden tables & benches with metal legs are available for hire for a mere £1.50 per table and 75p per bench per night. Just think of the hassle saved in transporting yours to camp & back & having to wash the mud off afterwards!
   
     
GP (General Purposes) Room
The GP Room is situated within the Barn and has a concrete floor so you're quite welcome to walk in with your muddy boots, wellies etc. The walls are covered with nature posters, forestry, bird boxes and the like and is a good base to use for environmental studies or projects.
   
     
"The Loft" Leaders Room
tucked away at the top of the barn with a stunning view over the fells, the Loft is a quiet sanctuary for Leaders to "take 5" Brewing-up facilities are available and during the summer season, regular meetings are held here to assist leaders with planning their programmes. Comfy chairs, local information and a decent brew, just what the Doctor ordered.
