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.
We hope to see you again
Very generous area to camp over…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very generous area to camp over looking the lakes. Relatively flat, soft grass but had many rocks and gravely under the dirt layer, so do not bring cheap pegs.
Views were amazing across the lake and a public path to walk almost all around the lake (big sign saying a field was closed) but looked temporary.
There's a van that drives round and stops by the entrance and lots of checks, especially for the anglers. Clean, open and There's also a jetty if you like to have a splash. Although it doesnt state if wild swimming is allowed.
Will absolutely be back, great communication from Sally too.
Disliked The temporary toilet. The smell of the recyclable flushing water was gag inducing. Thankfully (hopefully) its only temporary and it is being used by others and the people fishing, it still worked xD

From the manager: Thanks so much for your thorough review.
We are really glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
We do understand the issues around the portable toilet and have put measures in place to try and overcome this until our toilet and shower block is complete.
We look forward to seeing you again soon
Many Thanks

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
