COVID-19 Rules and Expectations
Know the campground rules and you'll all have more fun!
We are committed to limiting the spread of COVID-19 and doing our utmost to keep our visitors and staff safe and well while enjoying The Steps Barrington and it's activities.
What we all need to do:
What this means for your stay at The Steps Barrington:
What we all need to do:
- Maintain physical distancing – stay 1.5m away from anyone that is not a part of your household
- Practice good hand hygiene – wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds
- Practice good cough/sneeze etiquette - cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or a flexed elbow
- Stay home – if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms, stay home and do not come into contact with others
What this means for your stay at The Steps Barrington:
- You must check-in online – we are minimising the potential for people to congregate at the office by asking you to check-in online with our online check-in form. If there is anything that you would like to purchase from the office, just call us and we will arrange delivery to your campsite.
- All guests must be listed on your check-in form along with their contact phone number (we know this is extra work for our wonderful organisers and we appreciate all that you do for your family and friends).
- Any day visitors must book and check-in (numbers are limited).
- When at the campsite, keep to your group. It breaks our hearts to say it, but this is not the time to be making new friends! If you are meeting friends or extended family at the campground, physical distancing must be maintained – 1.5m at all times.
- Children must be supervised at all times.
- Spread out on the campground – it may be tempting to camp right next to another group so you get a better view of the river but make sure you set up your camp so that there is plenty of space between groups and physical distancing is easily maintained.
- The 4 square metre rule applies at the amenities block. This means that there can be a maximum of 9 people inside the toilet block at any one time (4 on the male side, 4 on the female side and 1 in the accessible toilet). Wait until the building is cleared before entering. Remember to maintain physical distancing when you are waiting outside the building too.
- Hand hygiene – for everyone’s protection, we are asking you to clean your hands before entering the toilet block (at the wash up station) and again before leaving the toilet block.
- The amenities block is cleaned and disinfected daily by our staff and limited cleaning supplies are also available for your use.
- If you have flu-like symptoms, stay home! We will organise a postponement for you if you cannot attend because you are unwell.
- If you or any member of your group becomes unwell with COVID-19 symptoms whilst staying at The Steps, that person must immediately get tested and place themselves in isolation until they receive their results. All members of the group must return home immediately. Notify our office as soon as possible.
- If you or any member of your group becomes unwell with COVID-19 symptoms in the two weeks after your visit to The Steps, you must advise us immediately.
- Please follow any instructions given by our team and continue to abide by existing State and Federal COVID-19 restrictions for the wellbeing of all.
