Facilities

What the site has to offer.

On site

Facilities consist of a toilet block with hot water handwashing facilities and a shower. There are three freshwater taps located around the site and a wooden shelter (bookable) should you need somewhere away from the elements. Access to mains electric can also be provided (locked cabinet with powersockets).

At present there is a plentiful supply of wood but this may have to be limited or brought in when the site is used on a more heavily basis (please restock the wood shelter before you leave).

There is on-site parking for approximately 30 cars.

About the site

Jubilee is an ideal venue for all types of camps from weekends through to a main Summers camp. Open all year round, the site with its own small woodland is set back from the main road. Along with the main camping area there is also a range of varying terrain, which is ideal for survival training, wide games, and many other activities.

Jubilee is in line with other Scout Campsites having adopted a no dog ruling with the only exception being Guide Dogs – we ask all visitors to abide by this rule.

We have no real restrictions on the use of wood fires. The only request we do make is that the fires are kept to the designated fire areas. Also we would be grateful if you could keep the fires to a sensible size. It is the responsibility of each group to practice good fire safety around their fire site.

Please note that pit fires are not allowed and cooking should be on altar fires or with gas. Provision of areas for backwoods cooking are available.

At Jubilee we like to do our bit for the environment and we ask our visitors to do the same. Please try and use only biodegradable cleaning products – this stops any harmful chemicals entering the water table. Also please do not use bleach in the toilets as this destroys the bacteria in the septic tanks.

There is no rubbish collection from the site. All rubbish must be taken home with and put in recycling or general waste.

Vans are allowed on-the main fields for loading/unloading purposes by arrangement with the warden. This is to prevent damage from occuring if the ground is wet.

Please ensure there is no loud music or outside activities before 08:00 and after 22:00.

For food provision, Culverhouse cross is only a few minutes drive from the site offering a Tesco Extra, Aldi and Marks and Spencer food court.
