Central camping is on the website. Physically, it is down Station Road. Facilities - er - field, long grass, usually bog (that is to say swamp, not unsavoury W.C.) by gate, sometimes farmer with tractor to tow caravans and campervans out. No water. No lavatories. No lights.

Said central camping is stated to be open only to those with full seasons, or who are booked performers (or musicians for a booked morris side), but last year it was very underused. You are also supposed to book for the use of it in advance, and although I satisfied all the conditions last year (and won the unofficial prize for the autocross in getting volvo and van to the top of the hill where it was a bit drier - starting my run-up in about France and hitting the hill at about 50, and finding EVERYTHING on the floor of the caravan when I smugly opened the van door: I'm told onlookers could see daylight under both van wheels at times) nobody came to check.
