How Insurance Has Helped Campsites

Case Study: Slip on Wet Grass


Situation: A camper slipped on wet grass near a water point and was injured.

Impact: A liability claim was brought against the campsite operator.

Resolution: Public liability cover responded to legal costs and compensation, and the site introduced additional ground protection and signage.

Case Study: Fire in a Facilities Block


Situation: An electrical fault caused a fire in a toilet and shower block.

Impact: The block was out of use in peak season, forcing partial closure of the site.

Resolution: Buildings and business interruption insurance helped fund repairs and contributed towards lost income while the block was rebuilt.

Case Study: Storm Damage to Trees and Infrastructure


Situation: High winds brought down trees, damaging fencing and internal roads.

Impact: Some areas of the campsite had to be closed until debris was cleared and repairs completed.

Resolution: Campsite Insurance arranged by Insure24 helped cover the cost of clearance and reinstatement, allowing the site to re-open safely.

Case Study: Theft from Campsite Store


Situation: Overnight, thieves broke into the on-site shop and stole stock and equipment.

Impact: Financial loss and disruption to service for campers.

Resolution: Contents and stock cover helped pay for replacements, and the insurer supported improved security measures.
