A note from the site themselves...

As big fans of camping ourselves, it's been a fantastic opportunity to set up our own campsite. We've been very thoughtful about all the detail onsite. We've used our own camping experiences to create a campsite that is basic but very well-considered to make sure it's the best experience for all our guests.

Spacious pitches, clean facilities and friendly smiles are always at the forefront of what we do - we let the beautiful countryside do the rest. The local village is very close to our hearts, Mark grew up in the Village and we're now raising our young family here.

We hope you enjoy our campsite!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Lovely site, easy to find. Toilets and showers very clean. Camping field is large and pitches well spaced out. Clear signs for the woods and the village. Hired a fire pit, which was great.

Delightful campsite

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

Would definitely recommend this site. Me and my 3 teenage children all had a lovely stay. If you are looking for a peaceful field where you can sit by a fire and also have a stroll into a village with a pub and a shop, this is the campsite for you. We are already planning our next visit. The toilets, showers and facilities were all lovely.

Fantastic campsite

We had a lovely stay at Coxhill Camping, as a family of 3 and two dogs, we could not have picked a better location. There are so many beautiful walks. There is a village only a 10 minute walk away with a Co-op for all you need along with a pub. There is another fantastic dog friendly pub a 5 minute drive away in Woolage Green. There is also a Tescos Extra 10 minutes drive away in Whitfield. A further 10 minutes from that Is the white cliffs which is stunning and a beautiful walk with great views of the castle. There is also a lighthouse at the end where we had tea and scones, a fantastic location. The campsite is very clean with lovely toilets and firepits to rent, which is great. The host Emily was so helpful on the 2 occasions we spoke. Would highly recommend this campsite for families with young children and dogs. Thanks for a lovely weekend.
