I am out of hospital and getting better slowly. I am opening the campsite again on Wed 3rd June and not taking bookings until 9 o'clock Wed morning so there is no use in messaging me before then. It takes me 2 minutes to take your booking write it up and send you your pitch no and info related to your stay, this makes it easy for me but only if you read the post pinned to the top of the page with the map first as all the info you need is there. The auto message will tell you how to book. If I don't get the basic booking info I will not take the booking. I love all you wild campers out there so I hope this is easy to understand. Looking forward to seeing all my old customers again and possibly some new ones. Nick is the Camp manager at the moment and doing most of the maintenance because I'm not up to it yet. Nick will meet and greet you at some stage if I can't and will have a friendly word for everyone. Regards John at Riverhollow
