Cool Cow Camping

Me gustó: We arrived and just drove in a pitched where we wanted ! There were no allocation pitches! Everything was done on trust!

No me gustó: There were not really any flat pitches that were free luckily it wasn’t too busy so we found the flattest pitch and set up there! We have a tent box so need flat for that!

Me gustó: I liked the laid back attitude of the campsite. We just turned up and pitched up, didn’t have to check in anywhere. The toilets and showers were also nice and modern and clean. I also really liked the honesty shop as I was able to purchase a bottle of water late at night without disturbing anyone.

No me gustó: There was very limited availability of pitches, which is our fault as we arrived fairly late. We ended up pitching up near the top of the field by the bell tents, although we weren’t sure if we were supposed to pitch up here, but the bell tents were empty. We noticed that although the signs said to only pitch up around the edges of the field, two people had pitched up in the middle (probably due to not finding a space around the edges)

Me gustó: Beautiful location, felt you were really in the wild being in that valley with the long horn cows and horses nearby. I also loved being so close to the sea; being able to hear it at night as we sat round our campfire. We loved the simplicity of the site, it had everything we needed - lovely hot showers and good compost loos etc. It was also useful to have the horse box with handy extras in case you needed them too.

No me gustó: It was a shame the website didn't alert you to the fact that there was no drinking water! The water is from a local spring which is untreated so if you didn't bring your own water you had to buy theirs which ended up being quite expensive. Would definitely go back, and intend to next summer but would bring own water supplies.

Me gustó: We travelled with our two dogs and stayed in our roof tent. We loved the trailer on site which provided use of a freezer and fridge, as well as an honesty shop for your essentials like water and eggs. The showers were a plus too! The field was large and everyone staying there was friendly. The stars at night were amazing. The walk down to the beautiful beach was easy going and we would definitely stay again if/when back in the area.

No me gustó: The rules stated clearly that campers had to set up along the hedge line. However, there was one or two that did not follow this. The compost toilets were also not pleasant (but they never are). They were clean enough for what they are!

Me gustó: Simple, good views, walking distance to a favourite beach. Proper camping, slopey field with loos, showers, wash up and honesty shop.

Me gustó: Great views. Short walk to the beach. Nice big pitches. Toilets fine and showers great. Honesty shop with a few supplies including bottled water. They are very up front about not having fresh drinking water on site. We brought ours with us

Me gustó: We had a great stay at Cool Cow Camping - fab location near the beach and other lovely villages nearby. There are long drop / compost toilets which took us a bit of getting used to but they were maintained every day. The showers were lovely and hot. The only thing that was a slight bother was the lack of drinking water on site but there was an honesty shop which sold bottled water. Would have liked to have reduced my plastic intake. Otherwise, we had a lovely time!

Me gustó: Beautiful setting, very peaceful campsite with plenty of space. We loved the fact that the water supply was from the local spring, and that there is an honesty shop with milk and other basic supplies. Very chilled out atmosphere. Short walk (10 mins) to the local beach which has a lovely cafe and when we were there in the summer, a big open-air beach bar. In the other direction Hope Cove is 3/4 mile down the coast path. Amazing views and sunsets.
