We had a fabulous night here. Lovely, quiet field with plenty of space. The toilets and showers were very clean. No light pollution at all-great for star gazing.
There were fire pits to hire and wood if we needed it.
Lovely dog walks from the camp and a good local pub nearby.
Peter and his wife were super friendly and incredibly helpful. We will definitely be back!

I had a beautiful peaceful night camping with my van in Archers Field. I was very fortunate to have the whole site to myself, sharing it with the owls, kingfisher, ducks, robins and blackbirds and all the other creatures. Great location and clean facilities. Will be going back for sure!

This campsite was so lovely and tranquil and the facilities were spotless. We only stayed for one night but wish we could’ve extended our stay to make the most of peace (but unfortunately work loomed).

Peter was a great host and the campsite felt calm and quiet even at full capacity over bank holiday weekend. I would say the number of showers and toilets were appropriate for the number of campers. The firewood and eggs for sale were a nice touch and the fridge/freezer was handy for people wanting to keep bits cool. We had a great stay and will be back. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful site.
Not only was the pitch beautiful, by the lake and under an oak tree, but the owners went above and beyond to help us when we realised one of our tents was missing it's poles!? Even finding a tent locally for us to borrow!
What could have been a disastrous trip, turned into a perfect vacation. We have the amazing hospitality of all at archer's field to thank for saving the day and providing such a great campsite.
Simply can't say enough about this hidden gem of a campsite... We will definitely come back next season.

A lovely stay in a quiet campsite. Lots of wildlife and listening to the owls at night was unforgettable. Amenities were spotless, and the use of a both a fridge and a freezer was the icing on the cake. Great location to visit the surrounding area of north Norfolk.

Really lovely small campsite, surrounded by nature. We loved the privacy as we could pick our own spot. This was very useful for us with a reactive dog who needs a bit more space. Campfire made a big difference too. You have all basics for great camping experience.
The only improvement I’d mention is the lack of hot water in the dishwashing sink, which could be inconvenient if you’re staying longer and cooking often.
Otherwise - highly recommended place!

This is our fourth visit, we love this campsite so much! Friendly, responsive hosts, shower and loo blocks cleaned every day, dog and child friendly, nice open site with plenty of space for everyone, quiet pretty surroundings, handy little farm shop for eggs and firewood, and always a lovely atmosphere. There’s lots to do in the area as well, and several great beaches nearby. Hard to beat!

We stayed for two nights. Great location to get to the Norfolk coast. The site had very clean showers and toilets (flushable) which were cleaned regularly. The site had everything we needed. Very peaceful, plenty of space and very relaxed. We will be back

We loved the cosy Yurt and the laid back atmosphere a lot! Animals running around the campsite is also a lot of fun, but close the yurt when you are gone or get a visit from the goats that eat what they can find!
Phil and his wife were very friendly.

Lovely peaceful site with basic but very well maintained facilities, and very helpful staff. Loved seeing froglets and toadlets hopping through the grass, swifts zooming around, and a tawny owl at dusk. Really handy for the coast too.

Accessible yet beautifully coastal, with its sandy beach, pier and traditional feel, Clacton-on-Sea is a jewel in the crown of the Sunshine Coast and a fine spot to find a good campsite in Essex.
