I suspect Phil only needs to wade out waist high and either Border Force or the RNLI will arrive to rush him safely home to Blighty !

Any thoughts on discounted camping. Is it worth waiting to book

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #7 on:** January 29, 2025, 02:00:34 pm »

I don’t think booking camping is open yet, I think it opens in a couple of months

I have a meeting with the park soon and I am asking about camping- let you know what I find out

In addition to banishing the great Northamptonshire Vertical Mist (trademark Ron Dean of Dean’s Marine!) we have been given a camping offer from the park.

Essentially it’s buy one night, get the next night free. To use this offer please book through the Wicksteed Park Camping Booking site for the first night. You will need to message me via the forum private message service with the following information:

Your name
Your camping booking reference number
Your Car/vehicle registration number

I will pass on the information to the relevant park department and they will extend your stay by the relevant amount of day(s).

So if you want to stay Friday and Saturday nights, book the Friday night only and they will extend you to Saturday night free of charge. This means that you will still see all weekend as you won’t need to vacate the park until closing time Sunday evening as your vehicle will have movement in the park. You will just need to move out of the campsite into the Mayhem Parking area, if you need to stay in the campsite (for example you have a caravan) let me know and I can arrange it for you.

Any questions please let me know

I wanted to call in this year and spend a few hours one day, if I came in on motorbike is there anywhere that I can park that’s close to the water so to speak, would want to leave on a car park anywhere…
