Epping Forest has over 500 caravan sites, each offering a different slice of this ancient woodland. You’ll find pitches tucked behind fields of long grass, some right at the forest’s edge—perfect for early-morning wildlife-watching or setting off on a hike. Average price per night sits around £25, but you can snag a spot for as little as £13. Many sites offer electricity and water hook-ups, and most allow campfires, which comes in handy after a day spent fishing or exploring the trails. Locals rave about Penn Meadow Farm (114 reviews), Tomkins Farm (87 reviews), and Daisy May’s Farm (83 reviews) for their relaxed atmosphere and easy access to forest walks. Facilities tend to be simple but practical—think water taps, basic showers, and plenty of space to park up and unwind. Rubbish bins are usually close by, so you can keep your pitch tidy. If you’re after a caravan base with proper forest vibes, this corner of Essex delivers.

England · 99 units · Tents, Motorhomes

A rural getaway doesn’t have to involve a long drive or lots of winding lanes to negotiate – and an excellent example of this is Beech Farm, in the West Sussex countryside about five minutes’ drive from Billingshurst. This site is about a mile and a half from the nearest A road, half an hour’s drive from the A3 and M23, and about 45 minutes from Junction 9 of the M25. All of that adds up to a quick-to-reach destination for residents of London and most of the South East, as well as easy access for those coming from further afield. This is a fairly simple site with just essential facilities (toilet block, rubbish area and chemical disposal point), but it’s all well maintained. It’s a laidback place where families, dogs and groups are all welcome, but please note that campfires and barbecues are not allowed for safety reasons. Bed down here and you’ll be in an excellent spot for all sorts of days out – the site is just outside the South Downs National Park for scenic walks and bike rides, and within easy reach of Chichester (40 minutes), the Goodwood Estate (35 minutes) and the beaches of the south coast (half an hour). Billingshurst has a good selection of shops and places to eat, plus a railway station for days out by train. - Simple but well-kept site five minutes’ drive from Billingshurst - Just outside South Downs National Park; farm park two minutes' drive - Rural location with easy access from main roads and motorways
