Camping and Accommodation

Campsite location is Home Park

The site is 300m from Windsor and Eton Riverside station and just under 1km from Windsor and Eton Central station. It has views of the castle; water provision; vehicle access & disabled access.

The police and council approval makes this is a safe camp and we can focus on creating a better protest. The site we are occupying is owned by the Crown Estate and managed by Windsor Council who are facilitating the protest and providing services to ensure it is a safe, inclusive and accessible space.

Sitting just below the castle walls, it is a perfect spot to take action from. This will be an accessible, liaised campsite should enable more people to feel that they can get involved in the action, bringing greater numbers together.

Overall look & feel of the site is 'light touch' not lots of structures, if you are bringing 'stuff' be prepared to hand carry it. Please remember that you and others around you on the campsite should take some responsibility for its operations, you can help by volunteering for a role.

All Rebels are asked to follow our rebel agreement which provides a basis for trust and respect. Also read our principles and values which guide the regenerative culture of XR.

Food, water and loos

We will be providing catering but please bring your own reusable cutlery, cup and bowl. We are collectively aiming to generate as little waste as possible and will not be providing disposable plates.

We will have access to drinking water on site, so bring your own reusable water bottle to fill.
There will also be a tea tent serving hot drinks and cakes.
Toilets, including fully accessible toilets, will be provided.

Let us know you are camping

The area that we are using as a campsite will be available from 9am on Friday 30th and we need to clear the site completely by Sunday 1st at 5pm. (Thursday night camping only for set-up crew and people travelling long distances)

Thanks to a generous donation, we have limited supplies of equipment such as tents for those who don't have their own. Please register early to secure this equipment.

If you are camping, please let us know by signing up here .

Accessibility

We have been given permission by the council for a limited number of campervans for disabled rebels who wish to bring them. Please register early to secure one of these places and answer the specific questions on the form.

If you are disabled or have access needs of any kind and would like to ask questions please contact xr.inclusion@protonmail.com

Alternative Accommodation

For those who cannot camp, Community Home is a scheme where people make rooms available to activists. XR UK is covering the cost of this so we appreciate donations to help support us offering these places. You can apply here at comUnityHome.

Kit-list packing suggestions

Stewards will be available to keep an eye on the camp overnight and at any time when rebels are away from the area. This cannot be a perfect guarantee of security so please do not bring anything valuable

We also seem to regularly find lost property after our camps. PLease consider marking all your items in a way that will help us return them to you if they are found (e.g. the name of your local group or team)

No fires will be allowed at all, so please do not bring BBQs or firepits to the campsite.
