Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, offering a sense of peace and tranquility that's hard to come by. One of the highlights was the easy and direct access to Epping Forest, which provided the perfect opportunity for long, scenic walks through nature. The forest trails were well-maintained and ideal for a relaxing stroll or a more adventurous hike. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty

Was cheaper than staying in London, but wasn’t peaceful
Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked Lots of space, security on the gate, easy to find and managed to check in earlier without any issues. They have wifi but doesn’t reach the back field. Short walk to the tube station through a nice area. Meant we could avoid the ULEZ and the cost of staying in London.
Disliked Toilets weren’t checked through the night so no toilet paper in the morning. Husband said the men’s were awful in the morning. We were parked on field 5 which is a bit of a walk from the toilets and has no signal or wifi. Worst part was the people playing loud music late into the night and at 5am. Husband moved the camper van to get away from the noise. There were signs at the entrance saying no loud music but this wasn’t monitored or enforced. I would suggest in future that you are able to choose a quiet pitch on booking and use field 1/2 for those and that all others are put on the same field on field 5 so that they are the furthest away.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)
Liked The campsite as a whole was large and as it wasn’t fully booked out there were loads of pitches around , it is also not too far from the town centre
Disliked There’s no ‘curfew’ unfortunately we was on a pitch where the other campers liked to have very loud music and doing drugs until the early hours of the morning, they stayed for 2 nights like ourselves and the music was going on past 2:30 in the morning, this was not ideal with having babies with us
There were also children screaming from another pitch until midnight

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Good location with reasonable access to public transport. Well spaced pitches, number of pitches, open spaces within each field, friendliness of staff, relaxed atmosphere and fires/bbqs accepted, cafe on site.
Disliked Additional toilet/wash facilities with more frequent cleaning during busier periods.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Loved it here, will definitely go again if we are up that way
Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked Site was lovely, very big but sectioned off into different fields, very well kept grass pitches of a good size, everywhere was kept very clean, tidy and litter free by the groundsmen, it’s astonishing how many manky people leave their rubbish lying around.
Perfect location for us as we were visiting relatives close by. Also fantastic for Epping forest walks, totally surrounded by woodland and nature. Loved it!
Disliked In field no. 5 we were quite a walk from the nearest toilet block for a night time visit and a little further away from the shower block for morning ablutions.
