Our non-flying facilities

Flying is important at Camphill, but so too are the non-flying facilities.  Being a hill-top site, with almost a century of experience, we have developed a range of  facilities to be amongst the best, most hospitable you’ll find.

The Clubhouse offers a warm welcome from John and Sylvia who provide excellent accommodation and catering for all our guests. A hearty breakfast to start your day, midday sandwiches at the launch point and a two-course dinner in the bar to round of your day!  All enabling you to make the most of your flying time.

Bunkroom accommodation is also available in the Clubhouse to both members and visitors, in cosy single or twin bedded rooms (bedding included), with hot showers in shared bathroom facilities.

The bar is steeped in history of the club and gliding memories, the perfect place to relax and unwind with friends after a day’s flying.  As well as providing excellent bar meals, John ensures it is always well stocked with a wide range of drinks, alcohol free options and always a guest beer or two to keep it interesting. The courtyard just outside is a natural suntrap for warm summer evenings.

Our workshop is modern, large, and well equipped. Being the warmest place on the airfield, it makes a good resting place between jobs too.

On the airfield, the launch point bus provides shelter, food and hot & cold drinks, and access to the internet if you need it during the flying day.

The simulator has a dedicated room in the club house, adjacent to the briefing room. It is built around a two-seater cockpit, with a three screen display, using Condor for realistic gliding simulation. As a visitor you may it useful to practise some local flying, or some of those BR tasks. It is an excellent training tool, especially if the weather isn’t co-operating
