6m Rule and Camping Guidelines

Here are some reminders that we need to be safe while out camping

• The most important aspect of pitching is to ensure all units, including their awning and pup tent(s), are pitched 6 metres from the adjacent units.

• It is not possible to lay down an exact grid layout for any given campsite because of the varying geographical features.

• Where there is an ‘open field’ situation, the typical layouts shown below will cater for most situations.

• The total ‘accommodation area’ available is 36.6 sq metres and each must be sited 6 metres apart. A car may be parked within the 6 metre space provided 3 metres clear space is maintained between the outside edge of the vehicle and the adjacent ‘accommodation area’.
  NB. A pup tent may be pitched close to the main unit provided it is not used for cooking purposes and does not incorporate a light with a naked flame.
