What customers say
This is a peaceful, off-grid campsite offering spacious pitches with beautiful lake views. Guests praise the quiet atmosphere, natural surroundings, and friendly owner. While currently offering limited facilities with only a water tap and portaloo, a new toilet and shower block is under construction. Some visitors noted the inconvenience of temporary facilities and the need for robust pegs due to stony ground, but many intend to return.

From the manager: Thankyou for taking the time to give us a review.
We are glad you enjoyed the views and scenery, and as an off grid site this is exactly what we are all about.
We appreciate that at present there are limited facilities, however this is documented on Pitch up so hope you were not mislead in anyway.
If you were to ever visit us again, the shower and toilet block will be up and running
Many Thanks
Great site, great views, what's not to like!

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Off grid camping. Great view across the lake at sunset.
If off grid is what you want, this is perfect.
Disliked Dependant on your Sat Nav, finding the site might be difficult.
My sat nav sent me to a gated road but my sons sent him correctly via the main road.

From the manager: Many thanks for your review and we are glad you enjoyed the scenery and views.
We have added extra information to what we send out for our campers to try and combat any issues finding us, and new signage has been put up.

Liked nothing
Disliked just a field some chemical toilets and a water tap only booked as sister on site near by which i could not get on.
grass was a bit long and gets in van
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry the site did not meet your expectations. Copper Fox is an off-grid, back-to-basics campsite with only a water tap and chemical toilets currently. A toilet block is being built and expected to be finished in June. These limited facilities are clearly described in our Pitchup listing, as we offer a simple, natural camping experience.
We apologise that the grass was longer than ideal during your stay and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards,
Lovely picturesque site, will be even better with a more toilet/shower

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again soon, by which time our new facilities will be up and running
