Book a Camp Bed

The JCR owns nine camp beds, stored in the Porters Lodge, which all undergrads are welcome to borrow, free of charge. If you have any questions about the system or need to report a damaged camp bed, please contact the JCR CAF Officer. If you need to cancel a booking that you have made, please contact the porters directly.

The camp beds are traditionally used for guests, and it is important to register them using the Porters’ form for fire safety purposes (they only need their phone number, no names necessary). This form is entirely theirs and separate from the JCR and our camp beds booking form.

The process for booking them is:

1. Follow this link to the Porters’ facilities booking form.

2. When you reach the relevant page, you will be able to see all nine available beds, and select a bed which is available on the relevant date.

3. Select the date you are interested in, and the “all day“ slot.

4. Fill out the relevant information.

Note: A visual can be found below.

To take out the bed:

1. Go to the Porters’ Lodge between 3pm and 10pm on the day you want the camp bed, and take your Camcard to sign it out!

2. The Duty Porter will give you a camp bed, and also a fob which is linked to the camp bed – you need to put this on your keyring with your college keys. This is so we know who has which camp beds, in case they go missing.

3. Return the camp bed on the date of return you selected, before 2pm, please. Make sure you return the camp bed and associated fob together.

Please note that if you lose or damage a camp bed, you may be charged for the cost of a replacement at the discretion of the JCR Committee. In the event that a large number of bookings are received for the same dates, priority will be given to those who booked first. We hope your guest enjoys their stay!
