Ramsgate station, in St Lawrence itself.

How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where will the van go on our site?
Normally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
