Welcome to Raywell Park
Raywell Park is managed entirely by dedicated volunteers who freely give their time, skills and experience to support and care for this special site. Their commitment helps ensure the site remains welcoming, safe and accessible for a wide range of groups, from day visitors to residential stays.
Over recent years, significant work has taken place to improve buildings, facilities and outdoor spaces, ensuring Raywell Park continues to meet the needs of modern users while retaining its character and purpose. These improvements are the result of careful planning, grant funding and countless volunteer hours.
We want you to have a great time at Raywell Park - adventure, fun and enjoyment are at the heart of everything we do. Like any shared space, there are a few simple expectations we ask all users to follow. By doing so, you help us protect the site, manage costs responsibly and keep prices as affordable as possible for everyone.
Arriving and Settling in
On arrival at Raywell Park, group leaders should report to the duty warden, who will act as your main point of contact during your stay. This allows us to welcome you properly, share any important information, and ensure you’re comfortable and ready to begin your visit.
If you expect visitors at any point during your stay, please inform the duty warden in advance. This helps us manage site access safely and ensures that everyone on site is accounted for at all times.
For your convenience, we also ask that you advise the warden of your planned departure time. This allows an inspection of the building, campsite or areas you’ve been using to be arranged smoothly, helping us prepare the site for the next group.
Using Buildings and Facilities
All buildings and facilities are prepared and cleaned before your arrival, and we ask that they are treated with care throughout your stay. Groups are expected to leave all areas in the same clean and tidy condition for those who follow.
Simple actions make a big difference. Please help us conserve gas and electricity by switching off lights and appliances when not in use, and keeping doors and windows closed while heating is on. These small steps play an important role in controlling running costs across the site.
Fire safety information will be provided by the duty warden on arrival, and group leaders should ensure all members of their party are aware of the procedures. Groups staying for more than three nights must carry out a practice fire drill. Cleaning equipment and limited materials are available in each building to support day-to-day upkeep.
Leaving the Site
At the end of your stay, a duty warden will need to check the building, campsite or outdoor areas before you leave. Please allow enough time for this inspection as part of your departure arrangements.
Before leaving, ensure all areas you have used are clean and tidy. Vinyl floors should be mopped, carpets vacuumed, bins emptied and kitchens, toilets, showers and bathrooms thoroughly cleaned. All lights and appliances should be switched off, with the exception of fridges, freezers and insect killers.
Outdoors, please remove all litter, return unused firewood to the woodpile, dismantle any shelters, clean fire bases and report any damage or breakages to the warden. Any accidents or incidents must also be reported for recording. These steps help ensure Raywell Park remains ready and welcoming for every group that follows.
