We have made camping even easier for 2026! Campsite bookings for The Game Fair can be made according to your preferred arrival day – Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday – or you can select our Flexi Arrival option and arrive on any day from Wednesday onwards.
We have carefully listened to the feedback from our 2024 & 2025 visitors and now allow mixed pitches which accommodate any combination of camping units. We have added a quiet camping zone as well as a Class A Motorhome zone to accommodate extra-large RVs, providing additional space and power. We want to help you create the perfect camping summer with us in 2026.
The deadline to book camping is Midnight on Monday 13th July 2026.
Flexi Arrival
Campsite bookings for The Game Fair can be made according to your preferred arrival day – Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday – or you can select our Flexi Arrival option and arrive any day from Wednesday onwards. Perfect if your plans are still being finalised!
Should members of your group have different arrival days, we will make every effort to accomodate you together.
All departures remain on Monday.
Streamlined Entry and New Pitch System for Faster Access
We’re continuing our block-based pitch system (first come, first served) which was introduced in 2025. This system optimises the arrival process to reduce wait times and streamline access to the site. This updated approach ensures that guests enjoy a smoother and faster entry experience from the moment they arrive. Making the most of their time at the event.
Group Bookings
You can book multiple pitches for your group to be pitched together even if you arrive at different times – the number of pitches needs to be booked and paid for through one booking, so that all have the same Booking Reference. The booking will also need to be the same booking type e.g. powered, non-powered, quiet, family, general, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Flexi arrival. To ensure the team can accommodate all group bookings efficiently, please note that we can only allow multiple pitch bookings placed under the same reference up until one month prior to the event.
Camping Pitch Regulations
Pitches are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and must be booked in advance. There are no walk-up facilities.
Each 10m x 10m pitch can accommodate any combination of camping units, provided everything fits safely within the allocated space.
Mixed camping is allowed within each zone, and pitches may include different types of setups side-by-side.
There is only one caravan, campervan, motorhome or roof top tent (RTT) allowed on each pitch. You are permitted to park one car per pitch. There is an overflow car park for any secondary vehicles. Please refer to the image below for layout instructions.
Each pitch can accommodate up to six people (adults and children combined).
