The number of young persons accommodated for an indoor residential would be 18 plus leaders, using the Oakwood Hall as sleeping accommodation, the Ashwood Hall as the activity and dining hall, and the Willow room as adult accommodation/first aid room.
Outside we have a large grass area which can accommodate several tents, a wood store and an outside water tap. There are 5 concrete bases for patrol cooking and a central campfire base. Suggested numbers for camping would be 18 girls plus leaders.
