The Meadow at Waples Mill

Μου άρεσε: Fire pit provided along with free fire wood. Free tractor rides covering the whole farm estate. Close to local shops and pubs. Beautiful setting, quiet, tranquil. Great place to go and shout at your kids , nobody can hear you. Lol

Μου άρεσε: We were given a friendly greeting and instructions upon arrival. Really good open area next to fields and away from main roads. We had no problems finding a good spot and there were Fire pits available for use. We were only a 20 minute drive from the centre of Chelmsford.

Δεν μου άρεσε: The toilet block was a little bit messy and a flush handle had been snapped off, but these are minor observations only.

Μου άρεσε: The ground was flat and the grass was well maintained.

Δεν μου άρεσε: There was no signage at the entrance as a wedding was taking place which meant finding the site was tricky. When on site, the signage was poor and meant I had to call the manager/owner to find wheee we should be. The showers weren’t working, there was no mention of this before we arrived. The toilets had no lighting. The door on one had no working lock and the other had no working flush. Neither of them had a light. Not even a broken one. For a relatively high cost, £48 for two small tents, I had expected the bare minimum to be in place. I was wrong.

Μου άρεσε: Location was good! Nice and peaceful

Δεν μου άρεσε: Free to pitch up anywhere however certain areas are off limits. It would be nice if there was signs that show where this is. As it can get very confusing. The host was friendly however when we booked on pitch up, he complained that the price was to low, what we paid. Made the kids and I feel very uneasy, as we paid what was on the website.

Μου άρεσε: The view, we were lucky to witness a beautiful sunset.

Δεν μου άρεσε: The facilities could have been a little cleaner and there wasn't anywhere to dispose of our rubbish on site.

Μου άρεσε: Lovely campsite with big pitches and beautiful views of the meadow. Fire wood available onsite at no extra charge and welcoming staff ensured we where happy and was very friendly. Will definitely stay again soon.

Μου άρεσε: The site is really picturesque and peaceful. I was the only person there. Except for the random dog walkers wandering through the site at 6.45 am.

Δεν μου άρεσε: No one available to speak to when I arrived in the evening. Had to wander around the house to find a guy ignoring me while watching telly. He seemed annoyed at me for turning up. Told me they had a crowd over the weekend but they were gone. Maybe he should have tidied up after them. The shower/toilet blocks are awful. Think third devision football club away end toilets and you are close. Flooded, doors don't lock. Windows can be seen through. Fine if you are a swinger/exhibitionist. No toilet roll. Looks like someone has used the loo brush to ream a hippo. No lights (but this is a bit of a god send as you can't see what you are stepping in). Lukewarm water for a shower and you'd have more water pressure from a pensioners piss. The step up to the cabin was missing on one side and I turned my ankle on the other side as I stepped out onto the broken breeze block. £24 is way too much for this site.

Μου άρεσε: Nice quiet location with great country veiw.

Δεν μου άρεσε: As with most camping sites, very basic toilets/wash facilities.

Μου άρεσε: Generous pitch sizes Lots of space between other campers Fire pit to use about site and wood that you can split yourself and use for free

Δεν μου άρεσε: Water pump gets turned off over night so no morning coffee or able to wash hands in the morning No rules or curfew so other campers were chopping wood and playing music until early hours of the morning
