Kempsford
Re: Kempsford
I would try and get in touch with them because I know there were a lot of problems from the start. I know it's a popular site, but I can't think it has sold out already. I booked mine yesterday but it's stupidly early IMO, that's £220 I could have done without spending right now. Also I must say I'm disappointed that they have binned the long standing policy of giving repeat customers the first chance to book - it seems to be online for anyone to book.
Re: Kempsford
Just checked with them and they say there’s a glitch on the system which they are working on fixing.They say they have plenty of pitches at the moment but I reckon it’s always a good idea to book early if you can. The e-mail I had from them to advertise availability for 2023 says I received it as a customer who has stayed at the campsite previously.

Re: Kempsford
I very much agree with you @G-CVIX, on both the timing and the free-for-all. Both regrettable.G-CVIX wrote: ↑Thu 06 Oct 2022, 3:06 amI would try and get in touch with them because I know there were a lot of problems from the start.

I made a partial booking on Tuesday, the system made a reservation but the payment system was down. There was no way to get back to that reservation yesterday when payments were back up, I had to start again. That'll tie a few pitches up for a few days until the system releases them back, if I wasn't the only one. I'm sure I wasn't. So I agree, it'll be bugs rather than a sell out @Mantog.

Re: Kempsford
If you haven't booked yet, you're too late.....just checked their website and it's now showing
Due to a high level of interest we are now fully booked for 2023

Re: Kempsford
Hey all, quick question... I recall them saying that a 25m cable was required for the electric hookup last year, does anyone know if that was correct? I currently only have a 15m cable & it would be nice to save the money!
Cheers

Re: Kempsford
Email has arrived. The food options look good this year. I have emailed them the question about the EHU cables.
Re: Kempsford
They’ll probably confirm it to you anyway, mate, but I suspect you’ll be ok with a 15m one. I suppose it depends which pitch you choose/when you arrive. If you’re arriving early on, then you’ll probably have your pick of the bunch, so just pick a plot that’s closer to the EHU point. If not, then you might need to think about a longer cable.
I’m sure you’ll be fine. I think they have some ones to rent out anyway, if yours isn’t suitable.

Who's staying there this year?
I arrive Tuesday at some point, I start work at 3am but have some leeway to finish my shift early, so hoping to be on the road from Cornwall by midday at the very latest.

Re: Kempsford
Anyone ever stayed at the nearby Jenners Barn campsite or can say how it compares to Kempsford please?
