To confirm your booking, we must receive from you a deposit of £50.00 for each week or part week booked for touring & camping or the quoted deposit fee for our holiday Lets. This is non-refundable, under any circumstances. The deposit will be deducted from the total balance due. In the event that the booking is for one night and equals less than £25.00, the corresponding amount will be due and the restrictions above apply equally to this payment. Please note we are unable to refund for breakdowns, illness etc.

All arrivals must be before 6pm. All Quarry pitches must arrive before 4pm. Please note for health & safety reasons, we cannot pitch you after dark, and you will be asked to park up outside reception if you arrive later than these times allocated and pitched the following morning. Please call in advance of your booking, should you need to make any special arrangements, so we can confirm if this is possible. There is a height barrier set at 7ft (2.1 meters).

Key fobs remain the property of Galmpton Touring Park and must be returned at the end of your stay, during office hours. Once you have departed from the park, deposits are forfeited and we cannot return any deposits by post in any circumstances. Failure to return the fob, loss, or damage of the fob, will result in the loss of your deposit. Please do not attempt to drive through the barrier at any stage.
ALL PITCHES
Your pitch should be ready from 12 noon on the day of your arrival. To prepare for our incoming guests, we request all pitches are vacated by 10am promptly on the day of departure. Out of High Season we may be able to give you a late departure time until 12pm or 4pm if you pay for an extension. We may not be able to offer this at your time of arrival, if the pitch has already been re-booked on the day of departure.
We cannot guarantee you a specific pitch. When we can, we will do our best to acknowledge your request for bookings of 7 nights or over. We reserve the right to change your pitch at any time for operational reasons.
