What customers say

Lovely riverside site with spacious pitches, praised for peace and London access. Easy booking, great staff. Composting toilets could be cleaner, some noise noted. A bit pricey for basic facilities, signage needs work.

2 bedroom safari tent (no pets)

Liked I loved how easy and efficient it was to book - everything is clear and straightforward. Location was great , it meant I could come straight from work for a quick weekend escape.

Disliked That other campers where noisy once staff left throughout the night

Non-electric grass tent pitch (riverside)

Liked Location of site

Disliked Our riverside pitch R12 was close to the two composting toilets. We could smell urine most of the weekend which was really unpleasant as you can imagine. There were large party groups in the other pitches and the large number of people must have been to much for the two toilets to cope with . I will not be staying again unless I can guarantee I can book a pitch further away from the toilets next . ☹️

Liked Beautiful riverside pitches, friendly atmosphere with staff and other campers. Quiet and serene.

Disliked The compost toilets weren’t as clean as they could have been, and the bins were never emptied while I was there

Calin D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (riverside)

Liked I like the tidiness, the care taken by the employees. I also like how the river pitches are clearly marked and divided.
I also like the fireplace and the benches by the river. A nice place to sit and and enjoy nature.
A nice little place hidden in plain sight. I will definitely recommend and return.
Very well done!

Local attractions

This site has particularly advantageous access to sporting jaunts in the surrounding area. For starters, there's the fact that you're a 25-minute walk from ESSA Water Activities Centre where taster sessions, crash courses and in-depth lessons can be arranged for activities as varied as windsurfing, powerboating, rafting and sailing. If you'd rather practice your teeing instead, there's also nearby Nazeing Golf Course (10 minutes' drive). If the peace and quiet of golf has you hooked, you may well appreciate similarly serene local activities like birdwatching at RSPB Rye Meads (10 minutes) or touring the many quiet corners of the National Trust's Morven Park (20 minutes). Younger travellers who like to be a bit more boisterous, meanwhile, have plenty of hands-on rural activities on hand at Lee Valley Park Farms (10 minutes). When it's time to spend a spell in town, there are ample options in Hertford (20 minutes), where a theatre, castle and interesting museum will tide you over nicely if you're at a loose end. For a car-free day trip somewhere new, let the train drop you off in the centre of historic Cambridge (45 minutes by train or an hour by car).
