Dodford Lodge Farm CC CL
Dodford,
Weedon,
Northamptonshire
NN7 4SX
Date visited – April 2024
Unit - Car/Caravan/Awning/EHU/Own water & Grey Waste
Price per night - £22.00 incl
Earliest arrival - after 12.00
Open: 1st April 24 to 31st October 24
This site is well off the main road, (aprox ½ mile) up a single track rough in some places, but worth it when you arrive on site to the views, the site gate access is on the left, all grass pitches fully serviced with 16amp EHU, in 0.5 acres, but feels much larger. Some pitches are slightly sloping.
The owner (Adrian) is quite relaxed on how you pitch. We stayed on pitch 5 (first in the gate and the largest one). We visited here during one of the storms but the ground dealt with it quite well. Chemical empty point and recycle bins are at the other end of the site. There is a “gated lane” that goes through the farm between the house and the site, but was not a problem while we stayed there. Due to being off the beaten track light pollution does not exist. This is a working farm (mainly arable) so expect some farm machinery noise. There is no drive over waste for motor homes, but as the site has individual grey water drains, simply discharge into that.
We were pleased to see Red Kites above.
There is a pub in the village of Norton about 1 hr and 20 mins walk down the gated lane, but we did not try it out as it was closed on the day we walked there (Monday) so cannot comment. There are also many walks direct from the site, but again due to the storms, and flooding around the area, we could not complete any circular walks.
We would definitely visit this site again.
CL Entrance from drive
Pitch 5 nearest the entrance gate, Recycle bins and Chemical empty point can be seen in the far distance.
