Cossiwild Camping

Syntes om Lovely campsite with a really friendly atmosphere. Having access to the gardens with the swings, and to the swimming pool, was lovely. We got some automated instructions via WhatsApp which was helpful. Close to the pub and the garden centre with a cafe. Facilities are basic but do the job. Real community atmosphere. Access to meadow walks nearby. Lots of blackberries in the bushes!

Syntes ikke om The toilet paper was a bit low in the compost toilets. That was all!

Fra bestyreren: A pleasure to have you and great pics

Syntes om We booked two nights at Cossiwild campsite, a little bit hard to find on the road as it's not signed posted. That being said the campsite is in beautiful surroundings with the best sunset.
This campsite is an eco friendly site with compost toilets witch were clean and well plenished, outdoor shower, which we found perfectly fine, in fact better that some of the bigger sites we have stayed on
You can pay to hire a fire pit for about £7 with plenty of fire wood from the forest, you can book the swimming pool for a hourly fee, or walk one of the many country foot paths in the nature reserve.
Harry the site owner is super friendly, chatting with all on site, he wants people to explore and enjoy the beautiful Leicestershire country side.
Best part is you don't need to pack up by 11am like most sites, you can leave when ever on the day.
Lovely pub in the village 8 minute walk, garden centre with cafe same distance.
Would we stay here again, definitely yes.

Syntes ikke om Needs a sign post outside the gate.

Fra bestyreren: Lovely to have you and enjoyed your very chilled set up. Quite right about the sign, I had one but someone nicked it, for the second time. So I'll try again. Welcome back next time.

Syntes om It was really easy to book, the owner of the site was lovely and friendly, had good communication when I needed to ask questions, and was very accommodating when we arrived, helping us set up a fire pit and showing us where everything was.
The campsite itself was absolutely gorgeous and amenities perfect. The access to compost toilets, outdoor shower, drinking water, waste and recycling bins, fire wood, level ground and adventure woodland made our trip easy and accessible (I’m a disabled person and my friend had a broken foot at the time we camped) and I have no issues with any of it. The ability to hire an off ground fire pit we could cook on was a huge bonus. We can’t wait to return. Our only regrets are that we couldn’t stay longer, and didn’t get round to being able to use the outdoor heated pool.

Fra bestyreren: Great to have you and your party with us Hollie, fantastic happy campers.

Syntes om Friendly reception by the owner
Proximity of a pub.

Syntes ikke om Disappointed that pool use was advertised but this was not the case. It was the reason I selected this camping.
Outhouses and urinal (haystack) were really ridiculous. Basically wild camping but paying 20 pounds.

Fra bestyreren: Dear TN,
I've noted your comments but please, for you to note:
You arrived after 5:30, and I guided you in, offering a choice of pitches for you then to set up. I explained that you would not be able to use the pool as it closes at 6, and one family had already booked until then. Sorry if you expect all hours, I can't do that.
Others have commented on the good facilities and activities, especially for children and nature lovers. They have also noted the clean composting toilets, and the straw system is by the way recognised practice in low impact camping.
You are right about the lack of WiFi, I don't offer any and I make good on my offer.
But if it's any consolation you had a cheap night as you didn't pay the £7 for a car, arriving on a very impressive 1250cc BMW touring bike. The policy states that a motorbike can be substituted for a car, but the £7 reduction is to respect those who come under their own power on foot or cycle.
Anyway, safe journey back to Finland and probably won't see you again.
Kind regards, Harry

Syntes om Amazing hidden gem in the village of Cossington. Local pub serving fresh pub grub only 5 minute walk in one direction and garden centre tea room for breakfast a short walk in the other.
Amazing host Harry was on hand sharing local knowledge of the area to explore. Perfect flat field to pitch up, wooded area for the kids to explore and play on the swings and trampoline. Added bonus of a heated outdoor pool to hire for a small cost, perfect way to cool down in the hot weather. The eco-toilets were clean and well stocked with loo roll.

Fra bestyreren: A pleasure to have you with us all the way from USA, thanks for coming.

Syntes om Lovely site with everything you could need for a simple camp (standpipe, toilets, fit pits). Adventure woodland was very popular with my daughter and the saw horse and bow saw left out was a really nice touch. Thank you!
