From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are always looking to make our campers experience the best so all feedback is taken on board and we will certainly make sure the pitch sizes are appropriate.
We would like to note, we are a back to basic campsite, whereby we promise to provide the basics of water, bins and toilets, however, we have added more facilities since starting and these we hope are seen as an added bonus for the campsite.
Thanks again and look forward to seeing you visit again.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great grass pitch, the grass is kept very well. The owners are very nice people and were very good with the children - inviting them to go check the freshly laid eggs! Overall, a very comfortable stay and will come back. Loved being only a short walk to Notley Park where we had a great day.
Disliked Only issue is that there are only two toilets, however, as it is a small(ish) site I cannot see that the queues would ever get too big.
