We need to know how many people will be camping, to ensure we'll have enough room. We also have to let the caterers know as soon as possible how many we're expecting so they can have enough staff on. If you haven't let us know and you just arrive, you might not get fed! NOTE: Food and drink is NOT included, but we're assuming you will want to eat and have a drink, or two...
