·

Looking for a spot to pitch your tent by the river in Graffham? You’ll find over 210 riverside tent sites here, with options starting at just £12 a night and an average stay costing around £125. Campsites line the Rother and its tributaries, so you’re never far from the sound of flowing water or a morning dip. Top picks like The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), The Slips (50 reviews), and Hale Farm (34 reviews) get high marks for their easy river access and relaxed vibes. Expect proper campfires, flushing toilets, and sites that welcome dogs—most spots are set up for hikers and wildlife-watchers, and you’ll see plenty of swimmers braving the water too. Just remember to tidy your rubbish and respect the local wildlife. These aren’t your standard caravan parks; you’re here for the river, the quiet, and a bit of wild Sussex countryside.

Spacious grass pitches in the green Essex countryside A 15-minute drive to Chelmsford; 40 minutes to Audley End Tractor rides on site; firepits provided for campfires. Rural walks, 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.
