Camping Information

Welcome to Wallingford Sports Park and BunkFest 2024.

They are contactable by phone so please collect a contact number during your stay. Any problems encountered during daytime hours, please report to the Campsite Office or Clubhouse.

Any lost children/vulnerable adults should be reported at the Campsite Office or Clubhouse. We advise that the mobile phone number of a parent/responsible adult is written on the child/vulnerable adult’s wristband to assist with bringing you all back together.

There are trip hazards around the Sports Park so care should be taken when walking around, particularly at night. Please be aware of the brook on the South of the Campsite (Campsite C). You are advised to use a torch when walking around the campsite and returning from town during the hours of darkness. Should you have an accident, please report it to the Campsite Office, security staff or a member of staff behind the bar in the Clubhouse. Details will be taken and reported immediately to the Sports Park Manager so that an assessment and action can be taken to minimise further accidents occurring.
