What type of camping and caravan sites are there available at Fontys?

Most of our powered sites are large, flat and grassy with the exception of the sites along the back fence having concert slab on them that people enjoy if they are in a caravan. These are still surrounded by grass. Our unpowered area is unallocated which enables groups to pitch together or find a space that suits there set up best. Find site description here.

What facilities are available at the Caravan Park?

On site we have two campers kitchen; our main one decked out with BBQ's, a fridge, gas stove tops, a toaster and kettle as well as a big open fire [seasonal] and picnic tables. Our amenities block is recently refurbished and include three three showers and three toilets in both the mens and ladies as well as ensuite family rooms and a disabled toilet and shower. There is a laundry with multiple commercial washers and dryers as well as a clothes line. The playground has also just been upgraded and now features a tractor, boat and obstacle course. The pool area is seconds away from the caravan park and provides the perfect spot to hang out during the warmer months, there is a BBQ poolside for your convenience, pool tubes and a diving platform to keep you occupied in the fresh water pool. 

Can we bring a generator?

No - there is a strict NO generator policy in the Caravan Park so if you do require power you must book a powered site.

Can we bring our kayaks to use in the pool?

We do not allow hard bottom floating devices in the pool but if you want to bring them down there is Big Brook Dam and other water bodies that you can go and explore in the surrounding area. Blow up boats, swans and other pool toys are encouraged and can be taken into Fontys Pool.

On our pricing listed under accommodation there are three different prices. Off-Peak is all non-school holidays. Shoulder season is applicable through school holidays that do not fall between the 23rd of December to the 31st January. During this time, as well as long weekends, peak rates apply.

Caravans are permitted in our non-powered area over Peak periods. We have a limited number of caravan sites in the unpowered. These sites must be booked with prior approval from management.

How many people can we have on one site?

There is a maximum of 6 people allowed to stay on each site with one piece of equipment (i.e tent or caravan etc.) and one car. If you have a larger group than this you must book multiple sites.

What if I test positive for Covid before or on my stay?

We encourage safe practices of hand sanitization and physical distancing. Any symptomatic guests are encouraged to wear masks and practice social distancing around the park.

We understand that a positive result is both disappointing and inconvenient, however the health and safety of all concerned is extremely important. We highly recommend that you take out travel insurance that covers covid-related issues at least 21 days prior to travel.
