Cottington Lakes

We stayed here for just one night after finding it through Pitchup, after what felt like 100 searches with nothing available anywhere else, and honestly, we were really happy we found it. The place is very well maintained, with immaculate grass and a peaceful, safe feeling throughout. The entrance is secure with a code system, and even deliveries have a separate gap in the gate, which makes the site feel well organised and protected. Customer service was impeccable. The owners were really lovely and helpful. We wanted an electric pitch for our tent, but our cable was a bit short, so we had to camp closer to the next pitch, and the owner kindly said that was absolutely fine. The café closes at 5pm, but for us that was completely fine as we were only staying one night. There’s also an Aldi and Sainsbury’s about 1 mile away, which is very convenient. There were families of geese around with their little goslings, which was really lovely to see. We didn’t go fishing, as we only came for camping, but the surroundings were very pleasant. It would be nice to have extra shower and toilet facilities for very busy days, but everything was fine for our stay. The location is great too, around 7 minutes from the beach and about 19 minutes from the White Cliffs. I think we would definitely come back.

I can’t recommend this site for camping enough. It is so clean and peaceful. The staff are very helpful, professional and friendly. Simon went out of his way to help me several times and Dom was very informative when I arrived. As a solo female camper I could not have felt safer or more looked after. I will definitely return.

If a functionable is what you looking for than this is perfect. Two toilet, two sink, one shower (perfect pressure and super hot) and place to wash up your pots. Staff ever so helpful, honestly they couldn't do more if they tried. Clean place, grass kept at nice length, pitches more or less flat, beautiful walks around, I mean seriously cheap but does the job great. If anything I would say that there's no disabled shower in disabled toilets and despite there being a space, there's no shelving or bench in ladies toilet to put your bits and pieces especially when showering with small children. Nevertheless it was fun seeing the squirrels raiding the bins 😊 will be back
