Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field
Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

This neck of the woods isn't exactly known as England's camping epicentre, but for those in the South East of England it's a far cry closer than the national parks further afield and with charming local beaches, boat tours, walks along Burnham Quay, seals to spot and birdlife to see, it's certainly a beautiful place to pitch up in summer and enjoy the delights of the Essex coast and countryside.
