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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a lovely stay at this magical campsite. The man at reception, Joe, was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us! such a genuinely lovely person and a great welcome when we arrived.
Because it’s still early in the season, we were actually the only ones staying there, which made the experience feel even more special. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and magical all around. ✨🌲
We decided to drive further into the forest with our van and made use of the wood provided by the campsite. It was really good value for the amount we received and made the whole experience even nicer.
There are lots of great walks all around the area, and we left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed , ready to head back to busy London.
Afterwards we visited the nearby UFO landing site and saw the UFO sculpture, which was great fun and literally just around the corner. 🛸👽✨
We would definitely book this site again. 🌲🚐⭐️

What a wonderful place! Stayed here last night for a solo camp. I love the idea of wild camping but I’m not quite confident enough to go alone. This was the perfect balance because it IS wild camping but with permission. Joe was very helpful and welcoming and the groundsman (I’m not sure of his name) helped me with my camping stove issue. Wonderful walking trails all around, pigs in the field opposite, drinking water and a couple of portals. What more could you want? I’ll be back.

Exactly the experience I wanted, wild camp. We camped down the bottom in the woods end of February, a bit wet so was aloud to have a campfire off the floor. Lots of owls to be heard and woodland behind to explore all the way to Sutton hoo! Excellent quiet just what we wanted, wild camp.

Second time staying here and will be rebooking again soon. Grass pitches are nice and level, the provided portaloo is clean and well maintained. The hosts are super friendly too. On a clear night the stars are amazing, last time I stayed we saw Mars as well as a host of other constellations. Easy for me to get too and a relaxing stay….would definitely recommend

We had such a fun time. Claire (our host) was lovely and made us feel incredibly welcome. We didn't bring anything to sit on (as we had taken public transport) and she was kind enough to lend us some benches for us to use on our patch. She ensured that our wood was kept dry for our campfire and that she was within reach should we need anything. We would definitely return again. Thank you for a lovely evening.
