Again please note that we are currently in a fire ban at Top End Farm Little Staughton We are extremely sorry about this and we are not doing this to upset you or to ruin your holiday. We are in the driest season we have ever experienced as a campsite. This is for everyone’s safety. And not because we want to. Please understand this is for you and your families. We are also not currently able to allow paddling pools as we are in a hose pipe ban area.

Please understand we are having a few people that aren’t happy about this why they can’t have 🔥 please just take time to look at the news of what is happening around you

The fire service has teamed up with local authorities to urge residents to avoid outdoor bonfires and garden fires as the county faces a very high risk of wildfire.

Bedfordshire is currently experiencing a 'Very High' wildfire risk, according to the Fire Severity Index, with fire crews experiencing a significant increase in incidents involving bonfires and other outdoor fires. With major wildfires currently affecting communities across the UK, local authorities are warning that Bedfordshire is not immune to the threat.

The combination of record-breaking temperatures during June and July and a prolonged period of dry weather has left grassland, vegetation and open spaces particularly vulnerable. In these conditions, it can take just a single spark for a fire to spread rapidly and become difficult to control.

Mark Garrett, Head of Protection and Response at Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said; "We are now seeing the effects of a long, hot summer. Our crews are dealing with a noticeable increase in call outs to outdoor fire-related incidents.

"These incidents are often avoidable and can take considerable time and resources to contain due to the exceptionally dry conditions across Bedfordshire.

"We are urging residents to think carefully about their actions and help prevent avoidable fires this summer by avoiding bonfires and other unnecessary outdoor fires

Please can people understand we do not put a fire ban in lightly. One is a picture of how green our grass normally is the second is a picture of how dry our grass currently at the moment. We as a business loose out when we cannont allow our campers to have fire pits or charcoal bbqs. We loose out on rental of the fire pits, logs, bbq meat, marshmallows and the joy of watching you have fire pits. We are allowing gas and electric on site we do this for everyone’s safety. We love you all and want you to return so please just understand till we can get some rain and get back to that lovely grass we so want back

We do understand that this is part of your camping experience however we need to look after everyone onsite. We do allow gas bbqs and electric. Just nothing that involves charcoal or logs.

This from a family camping this weekend at Top End Farm
We love when things like this come in makes it all worth while 🥰

I just wanted to say a massive thanks to Mandy and her hubby for creating such an amazing environment for families to relax whilst camping. We are beginners to camping to didn’t know what to expect. Our kids purely just want to come here now because everyone is so friendly, it’s clean, great open spaces and has everything you need.

Also whilst washing up I met 2 mums also newbies to camping. If you read this and end up back here give me a shout it would be great to share a gin by the fire 🔥

Happy Sunday
Thank you Top End Farm!
