1 night at Small Meadow Farm

This spot was fantastic! We had a great time and saw a great sunset. Everything was well planned with a fire pit and hammocks available. Anna also offered us some wood which was super useful. Will definitely come again.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

This was our first time camping, and it was a very beautiful experience. The amenities were clean and there is firewood if needed. Just be careful of the bumpy road :)

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Lovely spot, very friendly host, all around good time

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Always is, really nice! 2 tired fields with multiple pitches and fire pits:

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Would highly recommend this camp site! It gives a full nature experience!

3 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Fabulous back to basics site with plenty of space and wide choice of pitches from the depths of the forest to open spaces with fire pits.. Plenty of walks from the site including the Sandling Way. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Hatters Meadows Cambridgeshire

Absolutely stunning! Very understanding and helpful hosts 🫡

Weekend Trip to Alciston Court Farm

beautiful area and beautiful land. amazing and accommodating host too! will definitely be back

2 nights at Alciston Court Farm

Had a great couple of nights here. It really is just a field, not flat and much of it on an incline. Perfect for me and my son to try out the new van and awning. Lovely views of Firle if you pitch up on the left side. Never saw anyone, not even the owners. Messaged Miles on arrival and he told us to pretty much let ourselves in and pitch where we wanted. We were the only ones in the field for the 2 days. Location is great - quiet, even though the a27 road is close by you don't really notice it at all. Pubs and shop is a 5-10 min walk away should you need anything. Hassle free, thoroughly recommend it.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely campsite with lots of nature walks. It was spacious and very chilled vibes. The local pub is very cute and the pigs are even cuter!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Amazing surroundings inside the forest area. I’d definitely visit again however the toilet situation is underwhelming. Probably would not come back till they sort that out. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

We had an amazing time at this campsite. It was incredibly relaxing and hassle-free. The site is quite basic, which was perfect for us because it felt like we were wild camping with just a few basic amenities. There are numerous camping options, as you can pitch your tent pretty much anywhere you want, and there’s ample space, so you don’t feel cramped among other campers. The facilities are minimal, but they’re all well-maintained. Everyone working there was helpful and friendly. We’ll definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Me and a group of friends stayed here for two nights and loved it. Loads of space to choose where to pitch (in hindsight we would have gone for a flatter pitch!), the toilets and showers are very nice, and it's in a great location to go on some walks from. The pub nearby, The Royal Standard, is incredible. On top of all that the owners and staff are all very welcoming and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We had a brilliant weekend at Fourwinds Campsite in March, PE15. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The site is well-maintained, peaceful, and has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere—perfect for unwinding and enjoying nature. A special shoutout goes to Andy, the site warden, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and his local knowledge and friendly nature really added a personal touch to the experience. The pitches were spacious and well laid out, with plenty of room for our tent and gear. Facilities were spotless and regularly cleaned, with excellent showers and toilets. It’s clear the owners take great pride in the site, and it really shows. One of the highlights for us was the beautiful setting—surrounded by open countryside and just a short walk from the river. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone looking for a quiet escape. The location is also ideal for exploring the Fens and nearby attractions. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience in Cambridgeshire!

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Great site. Right on the river. Big field. Very clean and friendly. Great for the dogs

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Great for wild camping with lovely scenery, if you get the right pitch and it’s not too busy.

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

The campsite is great and very clean! Ground was also very nice and flat. Alexandra was also very welcoming and understanding when we made a mistake in the booking - it was quickly resolved. Thank you! I definitely recommend this place :)

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

The best camp site I have been too, the host Sam was super friendly and the fully wild camping in the Forrest was absolutely stunning, super peaceful and very clean facilities. I will definitely be coming back to this site.

Weekend Trip to Beech Estate Campsite

Amazing camp site. Magical woodland pitches, very private and peaceful. Lovely eco facilities!

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

A another perfect stay. Went to Four Winds last year for the Easter weekend. And again this year. Both years the weather has been a challenge. But the warm welcome, fantastic service, and amazing facilities make up for any rainy weather. Had pizza on Friday night, highly recommend you do the same. Please visit Four Winds, you will not regret your stay.

Campsites near Harwich guide

Overview

Experience traditional British holidaymaking on a camping trip to Essex’s sunny seaside or travel a little further for a glimpse of the region’s wilder charms. Hipcampers in need of a quick fix can hop over the estuary to Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB, where coastal campsites and rural farms provide plenty of accommodation options, while culture vultures can head into nearby Constable Country to learn more about Suffolk’s favourite son or up into The Broads to experience sailing life at its finest.

Where to go

Tendring Coast

Also known as Essex’s Sunshine Coast, this coastal peninsula is home to the traditional holiday towns of Harwich & Dovercourt, Walton-on-the-Naze, and Clacton-on-Sea. Wildlife lovers can get their fill at reserves such as Holland Haven Country Park or Hamford Water, while hikers and bikers can explore inland nature trails or take a turn around the Blue Flag beaches. Holiday parks abound, with plenty of caravan and tent spots to choose from.

Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB

Head over the border into Suffolk to discover one of Britain’s most popular nature spots. Stretching from Felixstowe to Lowestoft, this 80-km stretch boasts a biodiverse landscape of heathland, woodland, estuary, and coast, as well as seaside towns and holiday parks aplenty. Recently, the area has expanded to include the Stour estuary, just west of Harwich.

Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley

Following the River Stour west from Manningtree, this reserve is a family favourite thanks to its lowland trails and unique artistic heritage. Here, visitors can explore what is affectionately referred to as Constable Country, stopping off in Dedham and Flatford to learn more about the artist’s life and work. Riverside camping is another highlight.

The Broads

Drive north for 90 minutes and you’ll arrive at The Broads, a vast network of waterways that draw ramblers, anglers, and birdwatchers with their biodiverse banks and riverside campsites. It’s also possible to hire out boats, kayaks, or paddleboards, so you can easily take your outdoor adventure directly to the water.

When to go

Summer on the Essex and Suffolk coasts and canals can get very busy, so it’s worth booking your stay well in advance. To avoid the crowds, consider a winter visit, which also tends to afford more intimate glimpses of the region’s wildlife.

Know before you go

Public transport is generally convenient, though if you’re traveling further, it can be worth renting or bringing a vehicle.
Trail maps can often be downloaded for free on a park or local borough’s website.
