Check-out appointments must be prebooked during your stay and are available between 08:00 and 10:00 hours on the day of departure subject to availability. Check-out appointments are not available on Tuesdays and Thursdays as these are our non-changeover days. It is your responsibility to leave the accommodation and equipment in a clean and satisfactory condition.

If you are departing outside of this time or have not booked a check-out visit with our Campsite Representatives, then we cannot return your deposit.
