Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great location close to Barleylands farm park and received a stay and play discount. Good facilities. Good communication prior to stay although we didn't see or speak directly to staff during our stay.

Disliked: Our pitch was next to the bin store which wasn't a problem until the bin lorry woke us all up emptying it all at 6am!!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: It looks like this will be a great campsite for younger children. Lots of work happening to make the onsite activities. Adventure golf, football, adventure farm etc Good location and craft village. Great communication via emails.

Disliked: Showers and toilets were old, tired. Very small and dirty. Could do with permanent shower block and toilets rather than portacabims. Smelt like they were emptied into the stream.

James H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was a very quiet site with lots of families with young kids running around having fun! Only stayed one night and had not troubles finding pitch top toilets were nice and clean and warm!

Disliked: Did not like the other "wooden" toilets at the other end of the campsite, the Eleanor point was smelly, the electri doded doors were a bit fidly and did not work all the time!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi James, Thank you for your review and feedback. Good to hear that you mostly enjoyed your stay with us. We are hoping to update the wooden toilet block in the near future. We hope to see you back at Barleylands again soon.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The sites were clean and well maintained, facilities were in a convenient location, clean and we'll stocked.

Disliked: Would be good to have a playground for the kids that didn't cost anything to use, also a wee shop for the basics i.e. milk & bread

Local attractions

Bounce down to Basildon (10 minutes’ drive), where the town centre has cinemas, a shopping centre and plenty of restaurants and pubs where you can spend evenings away from base. For more urban explores, you’ll be about an hour by car or train from central London, making Barleylands a top option for weekends away from the capital or a mix of rural and city days out. Getting to the seaside is also easily arranged here, as Barleylands is 20 minutes from Thorney Bay beach, a family-friendly spot on Canvey Island with great views over the Thames Estuary. Southend (30 minutes) is also an option for traditional days by the beach, with amusements and a pier to sweeten the deal. For more things to do, take the family off to Adventure Island theme park (30 minutes), Diggerland Kent (40 minutes) or, for quieter times, try stately homes like Hylands House (25 minutes) and Boreham House (25 minutes), both of which have a range of gardens and pretty parklands to explore.
