A lovely site. Pretty much just nature, a tap, and some logs!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Mark the host was great, he's done loads of camping himself and he made sure I was set up as soon as I got there then just left me to it. The location is great, just outside the M25 in ancient farming and woodland. There is a nice pub and shop in the village which you can walk to easily though the fields. Kelvedon Hatch bunker is just a few steps away, I didn't go to it this time but it really couldn't be nearer if you plan on seeing it. I had an espresso pot which I left behind, Mark contacted me and he arranged for me to easily pick it up (I live pretty nearby) so that was great. Plenty of space to set up a tent and a tarp. The bus stops right at the properties entrance (the stop sign is smashed up but you can see it, and they stopped for me - buses every hour into Brentwood) so a great stop over when backpacking! The alpacas and sheep are cute! The giant radio tower in the village is creepy! Lots of nature and a very quiet site!
Disliked: more an FYI - I got lost walking for a bit and got to the village shop just after six pm and it looked long shut, so make sure you have all you need before then. Also, if you look at maps of public rights of way there is supposed to be a footpath adjacent to the copse to the north, leading to a public bridleway into the village. It seems this all got fenced off to control deer. This deer proof fencing sounds like it restricts access but I didnt double check. However the footpath Mark pointed out, through the fields along the road was a very simple, pleasant walk, and doesn't sound like it has any issues with right of way / is well worn & doesn't intrude into crops etc (all but the roadside edge of these fields has the deer proof fencing on its eastern boundaries so its the only viable walk to the village afaik) Oh, there is no signage on the road for the farm - there really should be something to identify it from the road outside, so you know you've arrived?

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely camping space up on a hill overlooking the lake. Surrounded by nature with a visit from some particularly cute lambs and the friendly farm dog ‘Digger’. Perfect location just outside of London super convenient for a weekend away without having to drive very far! Took us 35 mins to drive from east London! Would also recommend the additional fire pit! No signal on the campsite but not an issue as you don’t tend to go camping to be on your phone!
Disliked: Not much!
