Would a fox eat your face?

I dont know how far away from a built up area you were camping in,... but I would say that not a lot of people would have a close encounter with a wild rural Fox, they are quite secretive,... but with a curios nature.

The Urban Fox is almost the complete opposite, it is brash, fearless of humans and cheeky enough to do strange things that the Rural Fox wouldn't dream of doing

If it was the Rural Fox that visited you, then it was his curiosity that caused the visit, and I doubt he would have hurt you,... I dont know too much about the Urban Fox, but from what I have heard and read, they do seem quite capable of doing damage

Middle of Dartmoor mate. About as rural as you can get South of Birmingham. This fox was definitely persistent. The fact he came back 5 times (possibly 6, but I was in a tent after the 5th, so wouldn't have noticed a 6th visit, or any others) does say he was persistent and unafraid of me...having chased him and thrown stuff at him 5 times.
