Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Beautiful, simple campsite with spaced out, level pitches looking out over farmland. Plenty of grass to play games on.

Disliked: Basic, fine bathroom facilities - could do with an outdoor tap to fill up water containers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Perfect big pithes near the small river. My friends managed to do fishing from the pitch, that was the perfect add on. There were 2 toilets with shower with hot and cold water, good enough for short stay. Fire pits on each pitch, just bring your own bbq. It was about 6 tents on the day and the area is huge, so we stayed quiet privately from each other. Amazing escape from city life.

Disliked: Nothing really. As expected. Even better.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely big, open level pitches in a perfect location with sounds of birds, and wonderful unspoilt views over the fields. Great space between pitches for privacy and dog friendly. Toilets and shower are basic for camping and do the job Easy to find the entrance if you check google maps before you get there!

Local attractions

These rural surroundings have plenty of natural landscapes to explore, and plenty of paths to follow to see some of them. The 82-mile Essex Way is the area’s major route, but there are lots of shorter trails around too if that sounds like too much. Or for a much more relaxing day out you could try a ride on the Epping Ongar Railway (15 minutes’ drive away). Scattered around the area are also several lovely houses and gardens to visit, including Audley End (40 minutes), RHS Garden Hyde Hall (40 minutes) and the Gardens of Easton Lodge (25 minutes). If you time your trip well you could also book ahead for a tour of ‘Britain’s Most Extraordinary Home’ Talliston House & Gardens (15 minutes). It’s worth making a trip into Chelmsford (15 minutes) too – it's home to the gorgeous gardens of Hylands Park, a cathedral with Gothic remnants, and a couple of top-notch museums including the Essex Police Museum. Kids need to let off a bit of energy? Try Jump Street trampoline park, just outside the city (25 minutes).
