Riverside camping near Rudgwick

·

Rudgwick’s riverside campsites pack in over 120 ways to pitch up beside the water. Anglers cast off at dawn; wild swimmers and families wade in where the banks dip low. You’ll find spots where the river cuts through meadows and fields, with fishing, horseback-riding, and swimming right outside your tent. Showers, loos, and pet-friendly pitches are standard at most sites. Prices start at just £12 a night, with the average stay around £65. For trusted picks, check out The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Otter Channel Campsite (83 reviews), or The Slips (50 reviews). Rubbish collection and solid facilities make even the wilder sites practical for first-timers. This is river camping done right—no fuss, just you and the water.

Our 90 pitch campsite is located in the protected Green Belt area to the west of London. With the River Thames on one side and Laleham Park on all others, the beautiful surroundings are hard to beat given the proximity to the capital. The campsite is run voluntarily by its members, with day-to-day matters being handled by an elected committee and wardens. We keep things relaxed at Laleham, but a few simple guidelines help everyone enjoy their stay: Identification: For smooth entry please have some form of identification like your Drivers License or Passport (international) ready. Quiet Hours: 11pm-7am — please keep noise to a minimum. Campfires: Raised fire pits/barbeques only — no fires directly on the grass. Pets: Dogs welcome, must be kept on leads at all times. Vehicles: After unloading, all cars must be kept in our on-site car park for the duration of your stay. Speed Limit: Please maintain a maximum speed limit of 5 mph for the safety of all guests.

92km from Rudgwick · 12 units
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.
