We were delighted to safely open the following facilities across our parks after the first lockdown, all with new social distancing measures in place and are ready to do so again as soon as we are permitted.

For your safety we regret that closures therefore still applied for our saunas and steam rooms, Oakdene's Escape Rooms and Go Active+ until further notice. Unfortunately the Retreat Bar and Gym at Merley Court also remain closed until further notice. You can still get away and enjoy the stunning open spaces, miles of beaches and scenic woodlands on one of our 'Shorefield Getaways'.
Rest assured we are working hard to ensure we can offer you as much of the Shorefield Holidays Experience as possible on your staycation.
We will keep you updated if the Government make any announcements that indicate whether we will be permitted to re-open our facilities and any changes that may take place.
Can I park on or near to my pitch?
Yes, the pitch price allows for one vehicle so please allow for this when calculating the pitch size required. Additional vehicles are chargeable at £4 per night and will usually have to be kept in the car park. We regret that commercial vehicles are not allowed on our parks.
Are BBQs allowed?
Use of BBQs are permitted at our touring & camping parks, as long as they are raised well off the ground on a fixed stand and all safety rules are observed.
Can we have a fire pit?
We're sorry, but open fires or campfires are not allowed at any of our parks at any time.

Great Forest Walks
We had a great holiday here. There is swimming and entertainment for the family. We had some great walks in the forest and happy they had lots of good supermarkets close by which is a bonus. The crazy golf had also been updated.
