Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have put some extra measures in place to ensure that your stay here at Camp Dartington is a safer and more pleasant break.
Flexible Rebooking Policy
In the event of cancellation due to government guidance on coronavirus restrictions, the customer has the flexibility to move the booking to alternative available dates within 18 months of the start date of their holiday (the ‘flexible rebooking policy’) with no additional charges. If the customer chooses a date where the same accommodation is only available at a higher price, the additional prevailing rate for the stay will be due. The flexible rebooking policy is only available for cancellations related directly to government changes in coronavirus restrictions. Flexible rebooking is not available for cancellations related to weather or other reasons.
Plus – if required, some or all of the following safety measures can be put in place:
⇒ We have added extra toilets and showers to the site meaning that queues won’t be quite as long!
⇒ We have a member of our team on site daily to help with any enquiries.
⇒ There is a dedicated 24hr phoneline should you have any worries.
⇒ The site will be clearly marked out.
⇒ The toilets and showers will be cleaned regularly through the morning to improve contact safety.
⇒ We have marked out clear 2 metre queue lines to help when waiting for the facilities.
⇒ Pitches for tents are well spaced to ensure that you have the correct social distancing.
⇒ Sanitising stations are available across the campsite
⇒ We have a small shop that will be in operation daily for your basic camping needs.
Dartington always endeavours to provide a safe and supportive environment for all of our visitors. We are responding to the recent government guidance relating to the ‘rule of six’ by continuing to review and support all of our students, staff, and visitors to maintain a safe environment by using social distancing, robust cleaning, and encouraging hand washing and sanitising across the estate. As a learning-focused organisation, we are following UK guidance issued to all educational establishments, meaning that we can continue to take bookings for our autumn events and classes. Individual orders will be restricted to six tickets per booking, and only e-tickets are available.

Please be aware that from the 1st of May, we will be increasing our parking charges and changing our parking system to number plate recognition.
We have taken the difficult decision to raise parking charges, as part of a range of initiatives designed to raise revenue, investment and donations to Dartington. As you know, being a charity, we offer a lot here for free – not least access to the beautiful woods and gardens. A small increase in parking fees helps us keep the estate open to all and contributes to funding our wide array of projects.
From the 1st May, the new parking charges will be:
They will continue to apply only from 9am-6pm. If you visit here regularly, there is the option to become a Dartington Member and buy an annual parking permit. Find out more here (from 1 May).
