What customers say

This is a quiet, basic site ideal for short stays, offering lovely countryside views and proximity to a village pub. Guests praise the friendly, helpful owners and clean facilities, though the lack of showers is noted. The secure, compact site is well-located for walks and exploring the local area, with many visitors expressing a desire to return. Some minor points include occasional road noise and a need for pitch levelling.

Sam W.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely being in a field next to the horses. Toilet and cold water washing up facilities always clean. Nice walk to the vineyard for wine tasting and a nice roast in The Bell. Hook up great and got a text for access to the site.

Disliked The electrical hook up pitches are quite near the road so some traffic. The none electric pitches set back a bit so quieter

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location was easy to get too and didn't feel cramped despite being a smaller campsite. The toilet is fully flushing (not a portaloo) and toilet roll and soap was provided.

Disliked No showers, however for short stays or those who don't mind bucket showers this doesn't make a difference.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Fantastic weekend, thank you for the hospitality

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked More than happy with our stay, some of the previous reviews made us a little nervous but it wasn't anything like some of the negative reviews. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked Could do with a shower which I think the owners are considering

We would return for another stay, and would recommend them to others.

Local attractions

The maritime town of Maldon (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to start your tour of the area – perhaps with a stroll along Hythe Quay to see one of the UK’s largest collections of London barges. You can also launch canoes or hire bikes here, or join boat trips out onto the Blackwater Estuary. Just outside the town, the Museum of Power is worth a visit to see the miniature railway and working steam pump. For more watery activities, head to Hoe Mill lock (10 minutes), a well-known local wild swimming spot, or the historic harbour at Burnham-on-Crouch (20 minutes). The Dengie National Nature Reserve (half an hour) is a good place to be if you’re into your birdwatching. Gardens more your thing? RHS Garden Hyde Hall (15 minutes) is the big draw nearby, with several themed areas keeping things interesting all year round. The three acres at Beeleigh Abbey Gardens (10 minutes) are also worth exploring, or you can try the trails of Danbury Country Park (also 10 minutes) if you’d like to see something wilder.
