This is the Auto message I put up on Messenger to help people book ( see below ). Some people are not able to read it, some people dont read it or can't see for some reason, for whatever reason it does not help at all when taking bookings. I just after coming out of hospital after a major stroke and I don't need this s**t. So if I dont get the Information I need for the booking I am even going to reply or interact or take the booking

First I need you read the post pinned to the top of the page with map, all the info you need is there. To book tell me how many people you are booking for, adults and kids but no more than 6 people, what kind of tent or tents as in one person,two person and what dates and how many nights you are staying. If I don't get this info I won't take the booking. I will try and get back to you by the end of the day. This is wild camping. There is no power supply just a water tap and composting toilet

Riverhollow Wild Camping is a big part of my life now and I don't do it for the money. The money only keeps and maintains the place. I do it for people who are interested in nature and the outdoors and like camping there or getting away for a week or weekend of peace and quiet. Riverhollow Nature Reserve has a bit of everything for everybody trees, woodland trails, a river running through and including riverbank trails. You can light a fire cook and relax by the fireside listen to the sounds of the woodland in the daytime or the sound of the birds settling in for the evening or a wake call by the birds in the morning. Every time of year brings changes and something different even winter has its wonders and I get a lot people around Christmas and the New Year when it can get very cold, some people love camping that time of year beside a blazing fire. Some people will chat to you and some people like to be left alone and I respect that, some people will ask me to join them for dinner. I had some great times chatting and having a meal or a drink around the campfire. Some people cook meals for me and deliver them to my door. I have met some wonderful people some of them are good friends now. Because of my stroke recently where I was in Hospital for 5 weeks, now I value every moment and do everything I ever wanted to do no matter what the cost because you cant bring that money with you when you die no matter how you try. So to all you wonderful people follow your dreams don't put it off do it today. Also there is a few photos here as you might find it today. Regards John at Riverhollow

Not going to take the booking unless you read the auto message telling you how to book. I need all that information to make it easier and quicker for me, it's amazing the amount of people don't read it and won't give all the info. It can't be that hard, it's an in your face message that you get first. Regards John at Riverhollow.

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
