Rules of the Campsite and Fishing Lakes

Quiet Night Policy

We have a ‘Quiet Night’ policy from 10pm until 8 am. During this time we ask that you do not disturb others and that your children are at your camp.

You are welcome to stay up late quietly chatting around the fire; however, after 10pm singing, screaming, shouting or running engines is unacceptable. If the next camp can hear you, you’re too loud.

Music: All music must be off by 10pm. Before 10pm, quiet, non-amplified background music is okay as long as it cannot be heard beyond your camping area.

Driving After Dark: For everyone’s safety we do not allow vehicles to be moved after 10pm. If you arrive back after 10pm simply park in the carpark and walk to your accommodation.

Fires

Fire pits and BBQs are allowed as long as they are raised off the ground. Slabs to raise off the ground are available to use. Bags of logs, kindling, are available to buy in the campsite shop. No open fires allowed on the fishery

Please do not forage wood, as this hasn’t dried properly and will cause lots of smoke. Also we like to keep wood rotting for insects and bugs.

Behaviour

We ask for respect from all our guests: respect for the land, the facilities and others. We have zero tolerance for aggressive, anti-social or disrespectful behaviour towards other campers or our team.

Children: We are a family campsite and love the sound of children playing but please be sensitive to noise as those around you start going to sleep. This may be before the 10pm quiet time. Children should always be supervised.

Alcohol: You are welcome to enjoy a few around the campfire with friends and family. However, as a family campsite with children and open fires, we expect you to always drink responsibly. We have zero tolerance for drunken or abusive behaviour.

‌Three Strikes: If things get a little too loud or if you are breaking our simple rules, we will give you a friendly warning. We will also give you a second chance if necessary. However, if we need to speak to you for a third time you will be asked to leave immediately without a refund. This rarely happens as everyone is a respectful, considerate and like-minded.

Complaints :Our team are a very friendly and we appreciate the opportunity to rectify things whilst you are with us. We always appreciate fair reviews but please review us based on how we handled your issues rather than on problems we did not get a chance to rectify.

Dogs

Dogs: We love dogs and welcome friendly, well-behaved dogs. All dogs should be booked in and need to be kept on a lead and under control at all times. We have zero tolerance for anyone not clearing up after their dog and you will be asked to leave immediately if this is observed. Dog waste bags are available around site. Please be aware the site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act

Guests

We don’t mind if you would like to have guests come visit you. Please let us know, when they are onsite and how many. BUT ALL guests must leave by 9pm

Rubbish

Please do not litter and dispose of all waste in the rubbish bins provided. We encourage recycling of all waste and have large waste bins available. Please make sure to separate out all your waste into the correct containers.

DO NOT dispose of ANY food waste in hedges. This not only attracts rats but also causes bigger problems, with rotting food waste.

Visitors to Burton Springs must have valid insurance for any property brought onto the site

Fishery Rules

No pulling for breaks on snagged lines on any lake at Burton Springs. Anyone caught doing so while fishing here will be asked to leave immediately with no refund. If you are snagged and want help freeing line please give the fishery a call and we will come down and free lines in the boat.

No transferring of ANY fish between lakes, if caught, you will be asked to leave IMMEDIATELY and not welcomed back.

A bucket for water and fish care is a MUST for the Kingfisher and Specimen lake. If you DO NOT have PLEASE ASK.

Equipment checks are done, so make sure you read ALL the rules
