Virginia Lake Caravan Park is a family touring park catering for caravans, tents, trailer tents, ARV'S and motor homes. Our guests enjoyment and safety is paramount and therefore we ask you to read the following terms and conditions before making your booking.
We reserve the right to ask guests who contravene these terms and conditions or, who in any other way are behaving in a manner likely to cause distress or nuisance to other visitors, to leave the park immediately. In these circumstances the holiday ceases and we shall not be liable to refund any monies paid or for any extra costs incurred by you.
We strongly recommend that you have holiday insurance. Your insurance should cover all risks including cancellation, accident, breakdown, loss or damage to personal property.
