Fox Covert

Positiv Nice location, plenty of space. Friendly host.

Negativ Facilities are very outdated and with a lot of issues - not enough showers, leaky pipes, showers blocking up during use and flooding the block, no washing up facility. I realise that the owner is awaiting permission for new shower block etc but until that's sorted, the current facilities could really do with some maintenance and tidy.

Positiv Quiet site with woodland walks nearby perfect for letting the dog run and explore. Plenty of room on a large field and hook up available on a separate field with hedges. The owners restrict the number of bookings so it's unlikely to be crowded. Drinking water and waste disposal. Clean showers and toilets. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Negativ Toilets and showers need updating. I understand that there is a planning application in to build a toilet and shower block with caretakers accommodation. Let's hope they get on and approved it.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi thankyou for review , heres hoping we get planning but it will take some time . Val and John x

Positiv As many other reviewers have said, a back to basics site with the friendliest most pleasant attentive (but by no means in your face!) owner Val. Great value as our pitstop stay before going to a local festival.

Negativ Data reception poor ( not the campsites responsibility of course, but worth knowing)
Very little shade..also worth knowing in case of a heatwave like the one we experienced on 13.8.26. it was at least 36° the day we were there 🥵

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Craig so so glad you enjoyed and it was peaceful for you all , hope to see you again Val and John xx

Positiv A really tranquil site and carefully managed to ensure pitches are well spaced .

Friendly management... Lots of space and a blissful pitch where you like site ..

Recommend

Negativ The power going off twice during showering... Maybe due to the extreme heat if the day?

The two adjoining toilet cubicles are narrow.

I know the owner is trying to get planning permission to build a new block.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Nicola thankyou for the brilliant review , glad you got home safe , you can come back anytime Val and John xxx

Positiv Absolutely everything, but definitely Val the most!! Such a gorgeous campsite, lovely and quiet, pitches are massive loads of room for kids to run and around and play it's just brill. Val is the perfect owner, she's around if you need anything and always down for a good chat! Honestly made our stay so much more enjoyable having someone like that running the place. Can't fault it, we had the best time and 100% will be coming back asap.

Negativ Nothing at all.

Positiv Firstly, Val was wonderful. We had some coms issues around directions but she persevered to help get us there!

The site is a lovely, back to basics site. Not many toilets and showers for the size but for us it wasn't a problem as we are self sufficient when it comes to that. It was very quiet the weekend we were there so can imagine it being a bit of a wait for showers and toilet when it is busy. They have chemical disposal and drinking water.

The field is nice and flat. It's a lovely quiet space with pubs and shop within walking distance.

If you want a site that has all the amenities, club house etc then this not the place for you. However, if you want back to basics, relaxed vibe in lovely surroundings with nice walks then this is for you. We will definitely be back.

Negativ Nothing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
