The Meadow at Waples Mill

Ik was blij met: Beautiful, peaceful site with lovely view across the fields. The sun goes down right across from the site so you get a magical view each night.
Nice and level for vans and tents.
Fire pits are great for marshmallows!!

Ik was niet zo blij met: The site was hard to find. No signs off the road and the sat nav isn’t that helpful.
Minor inconvenience solved with a quick call to the friendly host.
Toilet and shower block is basic and the water needs topping up daily by the sound of it. The host explained that this is a temporary solution and has plans for better amenities.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The hot showers were cold, but hey it's camping!

Ik was blij met: Idyllic semi wild camping. Very relaxed atmosphere. I was only 12 miles from the busy Tube Central Line at Epping but I could have been in deepest Dorset. Facilities are very basic. If you want more luxury this is not the site for you. For me however it was just perfect.

Ik was blij met: The open countryside, rural and untouched.
The host was very friendly and welcoming
Secluded
Big pitch and lots of open space

Ik was niet zo blij met: The toilet/ shower cubicle wasn’t pleasant and we wouldn’t have used the shower if we had needed to have one. Luckily there for 1 night to test out the camping gear so it wasn’t that much of a problem for our stay.
No pubs or eateries within walking distance

Ik was blij met: Lovely maintained field, friendly hosts, really liked the fire pit and logs provided. Easy to get to.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The toilets and showers that were available are very basic, one doesn't have a door on it for privacy. The host has to fill up the water tank on top of the building, we found there was no water when we arrived, so couldn't flush the toilet. It doesn't detract the peacefulness or beauty of the space, but see it as wild camping. I can understand the hosts trying to raise the money to then improve the site, but I think this creates a catch 22, investment is needed to then bring in the profit. We would visit again, but probably only once the facilities have been updated.

Ik was blij met: Beautiful, simple campsite with spaced out, level pitches looking out over farmland. Plenty of grass to play games on.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Basic, fine bathroom facilities - could do with an outdoor tap to fill up water containers.

Ik was blij met: Was a nice site, very casual owner who checked very quickly once or twice but really just left us to it. I would return.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Toilets are a bit grim though.

Ik was blij met: Perfect big pithes near the small river. My friends managed to do fishing from the pitch, that was the perfect add on. There were 2 toilets with shower with hot and cold water, good enough for short stay. Fire pits on each pitch, just bring your own bbq. It was about 6 tents on the day and the area is huge, so we stayed quiet privately from each other. Amazing escape from city life.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing really. As expected. Even better.
