What customers say
A tidy rural escape with top-notch shepherd's huts (hot showers included!). Praised for easy comms, safety, and good WiFi. Great for exploring and walks. Some sloping pitches and low hook-up amps noted, but levelling blocks are handy.

Liked Nice, small, quiet site. Toilets and showers clean, tidy and well stocked. Nice little woodland walk.
Disliked As it is quite small it was a little difficult driving my motorhome in and on to a pitch. More suited to campervans really.
Pitch i was on was very sloped and definitely needed large chocks.

Liked The pitches were all hard standing and all with electric hookup which was great I would recommend using levelling blocks if you have them but if not they do have some behind the amenities hut , The facilities were clean and tidy hot showers and hot washing facilities for your pots this is a great little touch , also this was a quiet site no music playing just the wildlife and the odd little plane flying over I would really recommend foxes furrow to anyone we would definitely return again

Great little quiet secluded site with excellent facilities.
Powered gravel motorhome site
Liked Great communication from the owners giving lots of information on the site prior to our visit.
Loved that it was a small site offering a maximum of 8 hardstanding campervan spaces all with a little well maintained grass area and electric hookup.
Booking was straightforward and the site itself was easy to find just off the A47 but far enough away so as not to be bothered by traffic noise. The main noise coming from the resident pheasant population and a couple of very acrobatic squirrels.
The small pods available to hire looked lovely and cosy with a veranda to sit out and watch the array of wildlife.
The toilets and pot washing area were all very clean, well lit at night and the showers were absolutely superb.
We loved the little caravan selling a few basic provisions and local gifts, the honey was especially good.
Plenty of good walking and cycling routes available taking in the surrounding villages and lovely countryside. There are two pubs in Houghton both within walking distance.
Disliked Wanting to balance my review but to be honest there was nothing to dislike.

Excellent site with very clean facilities and lovely people
Powered gravel motorhome site
Liked Absolutely lovely and calming site, the scenery was amazing, reasonably quiet with very good facilities. Amazing showers and outside heaters in the cubical so when you get out the shower is not freezing. Lovely little shop in the van, and a nice distance from the centre, would definitely recommend and come again. Lovely and amazing little camp site !!!
Disliked It wasn’t obvious where the bins were located, did have to go on a little walk around the entrance. The Pitches are more slanted than shown on website so it was a bit of a shock how much we had to level out the van. A little pre notification would have been nice but it didn’t take away from how lovely everything else was.

Lovely little site with clean facilities
Powered gravel motorhome site
Liked The pitches were well laid out and I liked that you could choose your own then use the cone to reserve it if you needed to go out. We levelled the van with no problems. As it is a small site, the toilets, showers and washing-up station were really close. Everything was very clean with plentiful hot water. The size of the site and location made it very quiet - apart from the pheasants who were also plentiful! The owners were very friendly and have a cute on-site shop, the psychedelic squirrel, with provisions and locally crafted goods. The information we received prior to arrival was very useful. We walked about a mile into the village and enjoyed a pint in The Black Horse - which was very dog-friendly and a super place to spend an hour or so. The free WiFi was good (we downloaded a film).
