Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: Absolutely idyllic setting well off the beaten track (come prepared-you won’t be able to pop to the shops!). The single track road to the farm was beautiful. Surrounded by lambs. Beautiful sunset. No marked pitches but lovely views from anywhere on the small site.
Disliked: Only staying one night- wished we’d had time to explore the area

Liked: Our stay at Cockin Farm Campsite, although short, it was most definitely sweet!
We did not arrive until late evening but found the camp easily, the next morning we woke up to some stunning views, glorious weather and a few adorable neighbours during lambing season.
We had a warm welcome from the host in the morning, who went above and beyond to give us recommendations in the local area and beyond.
Thank you so much for our stay, we will most definitely be back!
