Why stay here ...

Dodford Lodge Campsite is located on a family farm. The site has fantastic views, from its elevated position, across beautiful farmland. The farm has created wildlife strips and from your pitch you may get a glimpse of the beautiful barn owls or the deer running across the fields in front of you.

A quiet and tranquil location but with easy access. There is a fantastic farm shop and butchers, on the farm next door, which is only 2 miles away. Less than 1/2 mile from this you will arrive at the Heart of The Shires shopping village where the old farm buildings have beautiful shops and a great coffee shop. For all those essentials Weedon's small Tesco is only 2 miles away.

The White Horse pub at Norton serves fantastic fish and chips and is a lovely walk or cycle, along the rolling gated byway. Its only 1.5 miles away giving you just enough time to help build up an appetite and thirst!

From the farm there are beautiful walks to be found. There is a lovely circular walk taking in the grand union canal, Heart of the Shires Shopping village and the local farm shop. A slight deviation, all of 5 minutes, lets you grab a pint at the pub in Norton.

If you fancy a day out Warwick Castle is only 25 miles away, or you can jump on the train at Long Buckby, that is 5.5 miles away and be in Birmingham under the hour. Silverstone race circuit is 14 miles away and has an interactive motorsports museum.

The site is ideal for cycling, walking, discovering the attractions in the local area, or just sitting back and enjoying the beautiful views and we hope you have a fantastic time.

What A Gem!!!

I cannot praise this venue enough! It’s just on the right side of basic, a CL lovers dream and is truly super! Adrian Norman is a perfect host and is worthy of the stewardship of this family farm. It is rare that one meets a true gentleman who obviously loves... Show more

Peace and tranquility - not

Second time we have stayed here and unfortunately on both occasions it has been noisy with farm machinery and barking dogs in the farmhouse. I understand it is a working farm - I also understand that dogs bark as I have dogs myself but to say it is peaceful... Show more

perfect for us!

Dodford Lodge Farm ticked all our boxes - remote, great views, walks and cycling directly from the site and on a real farm. We even got to see the harvest being brought in. Adrian couldn't be more helpful. Would love to visit again!

Wonderfully in the middle of nowhere

We booked for a week as I had an event to visit close by in Daventry. The pitches are huge and level marked out by fence posts about 12 to 15 metres apart, except for the end pitch, which we took, that is not limited and so you have as... Show more

Peaceful

We really loved this CL and just wish we’d booked for a lot longer - we will definitely return. It was very quiet and peaceful with a charming owner.

Peaceful, friendly and pretty as a picture.

We've stayed here a couple of times now and each time has been nothing but a joy. The views are breath taking, the site is very peaceful and tranquil and the host, Adrian, is one of the most accommodating and friendly you will meet. We only live about 12 miles... Show more
