Camping Policies
1. ACCESS TO THE CAMP SITE
At Cholmondeley Castle and Castle Howard access to the campsite can be gained from 2.00pm on the day before the race.
On the Friday the Camping area at Hever Castle will open for access from 5pm. Please drive to the castle entrance (signpost marked from all directions) If you plan to arrive on Saturday, please arrive after 5pm as races will be underway.
Any large camper vans to contact the campsite manager on arrival and wait in the Hever Castle car park for alternative directions onto the campsite. This is due to restricted access through the main campsite entrance.
Once inside the allocated camp ground you have access on foot to the castle grounds (limited access) and the race village. No vehicles will be allowed to move on the site while the grounds are open to the public. This information will be confirmed approximately two weeks before race day for all venues.

As a result any camper who cannot arrive by car before 22.00hrs or who wants to leave and come back on site must take special care not to wake others on arrival. When you arrive you will be directed to the camping field.
