Cossiwild Camping

Ik was blij met 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.

Ik was blij met Friendly reception by the owner
Proximity of a pub.

Ik was niet blij met 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.

Van de manager: 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

Ik was blij met 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.

Ik was blij met Facilities and amenities were exactly as described. Lovely quiet site with great soil for my trekking pole tent. Harry is an excellent and generous host who shows a genuine interest in his guests.

Ik was blij met 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!

Ik was blij met The pool was great. The composting toilets were fine. The trampoline and swings in the woods. Nice and quiet when we went. Really nice pub close by.

Ik was blij met We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a peaceful, rustic site with basic amenities: recently upgraded compost toilets and an outdoor shower behind a bamboo screen. No electric hook-ups, no dogs, and no music after 9:30pm.
Plenty for the kids — rope swing, slide, trampoline in lovely woodland gardens to escape screen time. Bonus: outdoor pool available for hire.
Cossington Nature Reserve is next door and accessible from the campsite. The Royal Oak pub and garden centre cafe are short walks away. Apart from slight road noise you easily forget you are very close to civilization.
Owner Harry was very welcoming and made an effort to chat with everyone. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Van de manager: Great to have you visit David and family and thanks for the lovely pics.

Ik was blij met Great site for kids, old school diy entertainment, amenites may take them out of their comfort zone but really make them appreciate home. Everything that modern camping has lost.
Picturesque secret garden site, adventures for kids, river swing, fire pits, swimming pool, surounded by nature reserves, nice walks & longer distance hikes through the gates, canals & swimming. Nice village, range of good pubs, food & groceries.
Bus stop ~100m, train ~1 mile. Easy & frequent links to Leichester, space centre, Luton airport.
Pick your own spot to pitch, compost tollet but clean & no smell, warm shower on a sunny day. Charge point for your devices.
Harry is a fantastic host, his site is very new so is still working things out.
