Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 2026

The location was fantastic—a bit off the beaten track, which was exactly what I was looking for. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. The only minor downside was that the toilet facilities were very basic, but they were fully functional and perfectly adequate given the budget-friendly price point. I will definitely be visiting again!

Just what we needed

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan PitchesJun 2026

Decided Dad with his lads and dogs needed a night away from all the noise of life. Fire lit, we kicked back with a few beers then took the dogs for a well deserved walk and explore. Met Peter, who was very helpful with everything. Total respect for that they have created here.

Lovely Site

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan PitchesMay 2026

Cockin Farm is a lovely location set amongst rolling hills and with easy access to lots of beautiful walks. The way in is via proper single track and it gets a bit bumpy on the last bit, but worth it once you are there. It's quiet - the sound of lambs calling for their mothers, notwithstanding - and the views are great. It's a minimal-footprint campsite, with no bells and whistles, but all the better for that. There's a compost loo and urinal on the camping field and a little way down the hill some showers and washing-up facilities. Me and the hound had a lovely night here. Pete was v friendly and we would definitely come back.

Short stay in Sep 25

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan PitchesSep 2025

We had a short stay in Sep 25 while travelling South. The site is in a picturesque location, though it was a little too dark for us to enjoy it by the time we arrived. Do be aware that the site has a steep approach up a farm track, so be sure your camper can handle that. There is a compost toilet and separate urinals, and a shower unit, though we didn't have a chance to use this. The farm also has a very impressive and large pig, who is quite fun to meet as your drive in. We didn't meet the owners who were very friendly and extremely helpful, even giving us a tow in the van when we lost traction on the slope.
