Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We loved our pitch, we had our privacy and a beautiful surrounding of trees. The passage to the Epping Forest was also through the bushes behind our tent, which allowed us to go for walks to the forest whenever we felt like it. Definitely recommend.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked: Despite the inconvenience of being too close to other campers within a relatively empty field, we were granted permission to move pitches. Our new spot was secluded and the surrounding forest was idyllic. All staff were extremely helpful, and the toilet/shower facilities were very clean.
Disliked: The allocation of sites needs more consideration. We were allocated to a field with plenty of available pitches, (only two others were taken), yet we were placed right next to another camper as well as next to a large religious group in a neighbouring field who performed sing-song events over a loudspeaker during the day night.

Liked: Access to Epping Forest was great for afternoon walks. The setup of the pitches to allow for a communal middle field was fantastic, for all the kids to play together. Shower facilities were good, and handy shop on site.
Disliked: The wristband policy might be something worth exploring other options for. Ours came off whilst offsite, and then re-entering proved challenging as having to prove we were booked onsite. Perhaps having a car sticker/badge would be another option?

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)
Liked: Extremely helpful staff on site who made our stay nice and smooth from the moment we checked in until we left. Unfortunately during the booking process on pitchup it wasn't straightforward how to select the field and pitch for our family and managed to book for a party field far away from the shower units but the staff straightaway made me aware and found us a new pitch close to the entrance which was a quite space that we could enjoy with our toddler. The site was nice and clean with plenty of options for going on a stroll around the woods. We will definitely return in the future.
Disliked: Pitchup booking process with unclear pitch/field selection and not mentioning the extra £10 you have to pay for your car.

Liked: We like the scenery, accessibility to amenities, forest and able to wash, as some places would not usually have washing facilities which Debden camp site provide. Friendly staff and give support as and when needed. Close to local forest and near to top golf venue, which was exciting and we throughly enjoyed !

Liked: Size and layout of site. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean if rather old facilities.
Disliked: Children riding mini petrol powered quad bikes and motorbikes on site; noisy and polluting. Children running round my tent tripping over guy ropes, twice. Loud and nasty swearing rows from neighbouring campers. Woken up by women screaming. Nowhere to be out of the rain or make a hot drink. Tea and coffee were advertised but lack of staff made it difficult to ask for drinks. £3 cost of phone charging.
