What customers say

This quiet, basic site offers great countryside views & a village pub. Friendly owners & clean facilities, though showers are lacking. Well-located for walks. Many want to return! Watch for road noise & uneven pitches.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked More than happy with our stay, some of the previous reviews made us a little nervous but it wasn't anything like some of the negative reviews. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked Could do with a shower which I think the owners are considering

We would return for another stay, and would recommend them to others.

Tim H.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Easy to find, clean toilets, good communication. Nice pub nearby, via a walk through a vineyard.

Disliked The top field is for small campers and tents only - you’ll have no chance of getting a larger motorhome in it. Check when booking.

Robert F.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Small, peaceful 'rustic' site in a quiet corner of a quintessential English village, with a church on the hill and a lovely Pub. Among rolling countryside but still close to 'civilisation.'
No frills, but there's a decent loo, wash up and disposal area.
EHU on our pitch which was huge.

Disliked Despite a huge pitch, levelling our M/Home wasn't 100% possible, even with chocks we were still out. Given we were only there two nights not a major issue. Irritating at best.
The grass could do with a cut, given the un-evenness there were a couple of trip hazards, but again, a niggle.
There IS something that hums at night - it's the water pipes which I think feed nearby horse troughs ! A minor observation.

Carol L.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Novoli farm has a very relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space. Facilities are limited but very clean. Easy electric hook up with 16 amp supply. No check in but locked gate protects the site and access code sent in plenty of time. Good information given by owner re things to do and places to eat in the vicinity.

Disliked Only one ( but very clean) toilet. With a bit of a queue in the morning one extra would be beneficial

Local attractions

The maritime town of Maldon (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to start your tour of the area – perhaps with a stroll along Hythe Quay to see one of the UK’s largest collections of London barges. You can also launch canoes or hire bikes here, or join boat trips out onto the Blackwater Estuary. Just outside the town, the Museum of Power is worth a visit to see the miniature railway and working steam pump. For more watery activities, head to Hoe Mill lock (10 minutes), a well-known local wild swimming spot, or the historic harbour at Burnham-on-Crouch (20 minutes). The Dengie National Nature Reserve (half an hour) is a good place to be if you’re into your birdwatching. Gardens more your thing? RHS Garden Hyde Hall (15 minutes) is the big draw nearby, with several themed areas keeping things interesting all year round. The three acres at Beeleigh Abbey Gardens (10 minutes) are also worth exploring, or you can try the trails of Danbury Country Park (also 10 minutes) if you’d like to see something wilder.
