Spacious grass pitches in the green Essex countryside
A 15-minute drive to Chelmsford; 40 minutes to Audley End
Tractor rides on site; firepits provided for campfires. Rural walks,
How about proper farm activities like tractor rides (ask site staff for details)?
The place to find all this is The Meadow at Waples Mill, an Essex farm site between Chelmsford and Dunmow (and about 15 minutes’ drive from both). This family-friendly site is handy for walks on the Essex Way and other local footpaths, and tractor and trailer rides around the farm are organised on alternate days to give guests a glimpse into agricultural life.
Activities complete for the day, it's time to chill out, and that should be easy here – all pitches have access to toilets and hot showers in a trailer close by, and firepits are provided so you can have a safe campfire (with wood available to buy on site and a great farm shop 10 minutes’ drive away for fireside snacks).
Pitches themselves are large (please note only one tent per pitch is allowed), well kept and well spaced within a meadow that backs onto the River Roding. Dogs are welcome, and there are plenty of places to take them for a walk nearby.
London folk looking for a quick escape to the countryside, this is a place to bear in mind – it’s only about an hour and quarter by road from the city.

Rosehip Wood Campsite is a nature rich, off-grid wild campsite set in a peaceful woodland. Camp in secluded clearings surrounded by trees and bushes and be sheltered from the wind or hot sun when necessary. You can spend your evenings staring into a crackling campfire as fire pits are provided and firewood can be purchased on site.
This site is completely enclosed by fences so kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway'. There is a field with a football goal for recreational activities and adjoining footpaths for road free walks.
It is tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham. This beautiful rewilding project offers the unspoilt simplicity and tranquillity of wild camping within the grassy clearings of a quiet mixed woodland and balanced with just enough facilities to make camping fun and comfortable including fresh water and compost toilets.
All Rosehip Wood’s pitches are family friendly and allow BBQs and campfires.
Your hosts invite you to wander along mown paths, through grassy clearings and wildflowers. The woodland has been planted with lots of nuts and fruits for both wildlife and humans to enjoy. As the sun sets, unwind, and enjoy starlit skies unspoilt by light pollution against the distant calls and barks of local wildlife.
The site has no lighting so don’t forget your torch if you plan on an evening amble. Downham Market is around 4 ½ miles away offering supermarkets, a market, food and drink in the town’s historic pubs and a range of restaurants. It also has a train station from which your hosts will be happy to pick you up if you are coming camping without a car. If you need an extra tent this can be rented at an extra cost.
Walkers and cyclists will find maps and information available on site pointing you in the direction of local routes over farmland, lanes, long

Had a lovely night at Plum Camping - our second stay there. We love how quiet and peaceful it is, and yet so close to Norwich. You can watch the planes coming out of / flying into Norwich Airport without any disturbance from the noise. Plenty of birds and wildlife to see and hear, and space to roam around in a lovely flat field, with wild patches to break it up.
The facilities are rustic, as you'd expected from a camping farm, but they're clean and well-maintained, with everything you could want for a basic camping trip - properly hot showers, toilets, washing up facilities, fridge and freezer, charging area, fire pits and wood.
We were meant to stay 2 nights but had to leave a night early as our son was taken ill. But I'm sure we'll be back another time!

We originally booked for just 4 nights. But once arrived we extended a futher 2 nights, silas and Tom made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough so help us and show us round and explain everything.
The facilities are somewhat basic but fully functional for our needs. The site is a work in progress but a very special place indeed. We will certainly be returning next season so see their progress and enjoy another wonderful stay at what I'd call a small piece of paradise. What also say is we are a group of 3 with limited mobility and the site was easy to navigate and flat. So I'd happily recommend this site to all able and disabled campers.

I loved my stay so much that I extended for a further two nights, and changed all my plans so I wouldn't have to leave.
The outdoor communal kitchen was amazing to cook on, and the Tipi was a lovely added touch. Robert and his little dog Bear were so welcoming, and gave me lots of tips about the local area, and then they left me to relax in the magical surroundings of Pitt Wood!
I will 100% be back, in fact he might have to have me physically removed as I never want to leave. Thank you so much Rob and Bear!

My son and I are prolific campers, and we enjoyed every aspect of our week at Martin's Meadow campsite.
The layout is unlike any campsite I've visited. The pitches surround a field, with the river running behind them. There's plenty of space between pitches, and it's one of the few campsites where simply sitting down to enjoy the view or watch the sunset is a pleasure.
Every pitch has a fire pit, and Martin provides plenty of firewood free of charge.
The location is excellent too, within easy reach of Chelmsford and Ongar.
There are warm showers and proper toilets, but don't expect luxury.
And chatting with Martin is a fun part of the experience.

We loved the tent camping on Martin's land. There were almost unlimited space, very quiet. Met Martin and he is really nice person.
There was water, hot water, two toilets and two showers available to use.
This was our second camping on his land within August.
We could have camp fire and stay late and kept warm by the fire.
Definitely will come back next year.
This is short drive from London but between the filds.
We got a tour on his farm and find more about his farm.

Where to go
Norfolk
Sandy shores, fish & chips, and brightly painted beach huts await along the Norfolk coast. Head to Great Yarmouth, Hunstanton, or Cromer for a British beach break, and admire the seals lounging on the beach at Blakeney Point. The Broads National Park is another must—explore miles of wetlands by bike, canoe, or boat, looking out for rare birds and wildlife along the way.
Cambridgeshire
With its history and picturesque parklands, Cambridge is a worthy headline act, but there’s more to Cambridgeshire than its university. Punting along the River Cam is the quintessential activity, perhaps combined with a walk or bike ride through the marshes. Campers have options too, whether you prefer a tranquil caravan park or glamping in yurts and tipis.
Suffolk
Lowland forest and heathlands stretch through the Suffolk countryside, affording ideal terrain for walking, cycling, and camping. Further east, Lowestoft and Southwold are Suffolk’s flagship resorts, but you’ll find sandy beaches and seaside camping all along the coast. Fans of horse racing should include a pitstop in Newmarket, home of the National Stud.
Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire
Just north of London, travellers come to Hertfordshire for the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio tour and stick around to play a game of golf, go horseback riding, or visit a country estate. To the north, Bedfordshire is home to the ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, Dunstable Downs, and Woburn Safari Park, making it a great destination for family camping holidays. Choose a campsite near a train station and hop into the capital for a day trip.
Essex
Essex boasts plenty of natural assets. Head to Epping Forest for woodland walks and glamping in the heart of the forest, walk or cycle through Dedham Vale, or enjoy bird-watching in the Rainham Marshes. Along the coast, the seaside resorts of Southend-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea are buzzing with beachgoers in the summer months.
Top 10 Things to Do in East Anglia
- Build sandcastles on the beaches of North Norfolk.
- Go seal watching at Blakeney Point.
- Catch a crab from Cromer, Sheringham, Walberswick, or Felixstowe.
- Stroll down the pier at Southwold.
- Eat fresh fish and chips.
- Hire a kayak or canoe and explore The Broads.
- Recreate Constable’s most famous painting, The Haywain, in Dedham Vale.
- Visit a medieval village or market town.
- Climb a tree in Thetford Forest.
- Walk through Fenland.
