A lovely place to stay
Primitive grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked So well laid out with the camping areas among the tall grasses gave such a calming and serene impact on arrival.
Composting toilets were so clean and well thought out. Night lights inside came on as you opened the door.
And the rustic style washing , showering and kitchen areas were excellent.
Would thoroughly recommend this site.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A very peaceful and pleasant stay - owners are genuine, decent people. Love the fact there's no music or parties allowed and you can enjoy the sounds of nature and nearby livestock.
Disliked Rules are rules for a reason, it's upsetting that some people can't respect the owner's rules - such as one car per pitch, one tent, no large groups etc - the ignorance of some people is stifling.

Lovely site.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely campsite, close to the Thames and lovely 5 hours round trip walk we had to Stanford le hope.
Can imagine it would be beautiful when we are not in a drought.
Certainly want to come back and it's handy knowing it is there- perfect for visiting London.
We caught a fantastic view point for the storm Friday evening over in Kent and didn't get wet in the process!
Disliked Nothing that can be changed by the site owners. We had our own toilet in our tent which I would recommend if you don't like spiders unfortunately the sheds that the toilets are in are full of very large spiders but you're in nature so its part of the package.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great authentic camping with fantastic views.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable 3-night stay at Thames View Camping. The scenery was even better than expected, and the campsite was kept clean and well cared for every day. The facilities were in good order and well-suited for a proper camping trip. Fellow campers were polite and respectful of personal space throughout.
If you are looking for genuine camping rather than a luxury resort, this site delivers exactly what it promises. I would gladly recommend it and return in the future.
