Site Rules
• Arrival is available at two time slots, at 9:45am or 2:45pm, this is so you can attend a Meet The Alpacas Activity to get to know the alpacas and learn how to interact with them. You will then be shown your pitch and assisted with your luggage.
No vehicles in pitch area – wheelbarrows provided, or the access to our quad and driver at selected times to help with your bags.
Children – Basecamp North Lakes is a working agricultural site with live animals and many other hazards including deep water. Children must not be allowed un-supervised anywhere on the site, and must be supervised at ALL times around the alpacas as well as the fire pit and wetland forest trail.
Our Alpacas – Under no circumstances should you feed the alpacas anything other than grass outside of a Meet The Alpacas activity with a guide present – we have to be strict with their diets and their stomachs can easily be upset.
Exploring the site – Please keep to the areas shown on your map highlighted in green! We have a large herd of rescued and re-homed alpacas, some of which have behavioural issues and have been separated for their own and the rest of the herds safety, as well as visitors.
Fires – Fires are restricted to the fire pit only located in the nature trail.
Lighting – Torches and lanterns are allowed, but please no field lighting.
Cooking – The use of raised cooking gear only is permitted, but please be sure to remove any rubbish and leftovers from site. DO NOT FEED THE ALPACAS YOUR FOOD.
Showers – Please do not use your own soap in the shower unless it is eco-friendly and approved for septic tank use! We have a very technical treatment plant on site that maintains a neutral output into the stream and it is extremely sensitive. Lovely eco-friendly soap from local makers will be provided in the shower facilities.
Vans – Please do not empty any chemical toilets! We have a very technical treatment plant on site that maintains a neutral output into the stream and it is extremely sensitive. Please don’t empty them, it will cause a huge impact on our wildlife.
Dogs/Pets – No dogs are allowed in the pitch area or near the alpacas. If you are camping with us in a van please keep any dogs on leads at all times while on site.
Smoking – We have a NO smoking policy effective in the pitch area including cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Outside of this area the smoking of tobacco and the use of e-cigarettes is permitted but please be respectful and considerate to the land and animals and be sure to remove any trace of it from site.
Quiet Site – This is a family friendly site and is shared with alpacas and the land owners, and has been established for the enjoyment of nature. Please keep it peaceful after 8pm.
No Swimming – There is a no swimming policy in the tarns and ponds due to nesting wildlife – sorry!
Your Neighbours – Please be courteous and kind to your fellow campers as well as any staff, animals or visitors on site.
The House – Please don’t knock on the house door unless it’s an emergency. For any issues please use the contact numbers below :)
Our Right To Evict – We have put these simple rules in place to keep our alpacas, our land, our staff and yourselves safe and happy! Any behaviour towards the alpacas, staff or other visitors that we deem abusive, goes against our guides instruction or is in breach of these rules will see you and your party immediately ejected from site without compensation for the stay.– If you witness any animal behaviour or behaviour of another guest that is concerning please contact a member of our staff.
