The rattle of a cattle grid and the sight of proper working farmland — Cottles Farm feels like stepping onto a genuine patch of rural Britain, the sort of place where the rhythm of the countryside sets the pace.
This is a straightforward spot for tourers and motorhomers who want simplicity over frills, somewhere to pitch up between walks or as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding area. Dog owners should ask ahead, and if you're hoping to light a fire, check when you arrive — policy varies. The site keeps things low-key, so don't expect a long list of onsite amenities, but that's rather the point.
What you get is space, quiet, and an honest farmyard welcome. It's the kind of campsite where you'll hear tractors in the morning and not much else — perfect if you're after an unplugged night or two. Pack what you need, enjoy the simplicity, and let the countryside do the rest.
