These terms & conditions are common to most Greener Camping Club sites.
Nether Oaks Camping is the trading name of JC Larter & Co that is the provider of this holiday.
By making a holiday booking you accept the following Terms & Conditions:
In order to comply with countryside planning policy, we operate as a Greener Camping Club members-only campsite. The Club was established by people with a passion for sustainable, eco-friendly camping holidays. When you book your holiday with us, you will be enrolled as a member of the Club. Membership costs just £12 for the calendar year and gives you access to some of the greenest campsites in the UK. It also includes participation in the Club’s ‘Trees for Life’ scheme, whereby a tree is planted for every member we enrol.
If you cancel your holiday:
A cancellation of part of your booking will follow the above refund rules, but just for the cancelled part. Bookings are not transferable to another family without our prior agreement in writing. If you are concerned about the prospect of cancellation, please take out holiday insurance.
Nether Oaks Camping reserves the right to cancel a camping holiday at short notice if we are unable to provide a safe camping environment, due to extreme weather conditions, ill health, fire, flooding or any other extenuating circumstances beyond our control.
We reserve the right to introduce special cancellation conditions in the event of restrictions on campsites such as those during the coronavirus pandemic.
When camping near trees there is a greater risk from boughs or trees falling due to gales or lightning. When strong gales or extreme lightning storms are forecast we reserve the right to close the site. In this eventuality, for the duration of the storm, we can help you move to a lovely 3-acre meadow half a mile away but still on our farm, which is sheltered by high hedges all round. Even if we do not close the site, but you are concerned about an upcoming storm, you can choose to move your pitch there. It offers a drinking water tap, use of the outside flush loo with hand-basin in our back garden, as well as a rough kitchen area in a barn that opens onto the meadow. It will be up to you to ensure that your tent is robust and pitched correctly.
After a prolonged period of unusually dry hot weather, Nether Oaks Camping reserves the right to ban lighting of fires by visitors.
Please note, we do not provide a refund because the weather has not worked out, or is not to your liking. Nonetheless, extreme weather is covered under ‘Cancellation by Us’.
Safety of Children & Adults
There are many opportunities for play and adventure at Nether Oaks Camping. Our aim is for children to have a truly enriching experience of space and freedom. But there are contingent risks to be aware of. We permit camp fires, visitors will bring axes or knives for making kindling and splitting firewood, there will be tractors and machinery around on the farm, the showers are powered from propane bottles and visitors might use gas cookers and lamps. These risks are small and should be self-evident - but if you are not clear, please ask!
Please pay careful attention to hand-washing after using the toilets before touching anything else, particularly drinking taps elsewhere on site. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children on site at all times. Nether Oaks Camping accepts no responsibility for injury incurred on site unless prescribed at law.
Camp Fires
Please only use the designated fire bowls, and please keep them off the ground, as you find them. Do not leave your camp fire unattended and think carefully about whether or not to light a fire if it is windy and/or extremely hot and dry. Please empty disposable barbecues into your fire bowl and leave the foil to cool before recycling. After prolonged periods of dry and heat, we reserve the right to notify everyone that no fires may be lit. Nether Oaks Camping accepts no liability for injury or damage caused by your camp fire. By lighting it you accept full responsibility for it.Smokers
NO SMOKING anywhere in the wood except your own glade or pitch. To be clear that means no smoking in the social and recreational areas and not even in the wood, nor on the paths through the wood. If you smoke, do it outside, around your pitch, and dispose of your cigarette ends in your camp fire. It is not advisable to smoke inside your tent. If you do so, you accept full responsibility for any resulting fire and its consequences.

Nether Oaks Camping welcomes well-behaved dogs but, if you bring reactive dog(s) or dogs that are continually yapping or barking, they will not be welcomed by other visitors and we will have to ask you to leave without refund. Also:
