Welcome to 1st Camelsdale Scout Group's headquarters, which is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by National Trust land and close to The South Downs National Park.

The hall is available for use by the local community for daytime activities such as upholstery classes, wellbeing classes, eg qi gong or children's parties, and the campground to other scout and youth groups, such as Duke of Edinburgh Award Groups. All monies received from hiring the site are used to help cover the costs of maintaining the site and building (amounting to one third of our total annual income), and to help fund equipment, so we can continue to provide scouting for young people in Camelsdale and Haslemere.

The headquarters comprises a main hall (with tables and chairs if needed), a fully fitted kitchen and meeting room, as well as toilets and a shower. Hand towels, tea towels and loo rolls are provided. The camp ground is mainly wooded with a large flat grass area. There is also a fire circle. Limited parking is available on the site outside the main hall and there is vehicular access up to the campground, which is situated up a track behind the hall.

The local leisure centre, shops and train station are all within walking distance from the site (0.5 to 1 mile).

Hire rates

Hall hire
  1. By the hour: £17 per hour. If you have children or young people in 1st Camelsdale Scout Group, the hourly rate is reduced to £15
  2. By the day: £100 to hire the hall for up to 8 hours, eg 9am-5pm. Any additional hours will need to be paid for at the normal hourly rate.

Camping
  • We hire the campground out to other Scout groups and DofE groups
  • £40 per night for use of the campsite and hut for up to six people (adults or children)
  • Additional people are charged at £6 per person per night (adults and children)
  • Firewood is available on the site, although we do ask for donations for any wood used to help is cover our woodland management costs.

Hut SOS: nominal charge
To help ensure we have sufficient funds to keep up with ongoing repair and maintenance costs for the hut, we build a nominal £5 into  the hire rate for every hire. 

Hire policy
We accept bookings for a range of day time events from community groups and others who need a local, well priced venue to run their courses and activities. We do not take bookings for evening or adult parties such as birthday parties, but we do consider and will take bookings for events such as charity evenings. We operate a strict no smoking policy on the site. Being in a residential area, we expect all hirers to be respectful of local residents with regards to parking and noise. We ask groups that camp overnight to be quiet by 11pm and to restrict noise in the mornings until after 7am. We reserve the right to withhold deposits of groups who do not comply with these rules and to refuse future bookings.
