Tranquil woodland site with spacious pitches & easy Epping Forest access. Staff praised, campfires allowed. Some noise complaints & accessibility issues depending on pitch. Extra car charges noted.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
We were at 3 campus in total, but Debden was the worst place.
Primitive grass tent campsite (small)
Liked Close to London, clean and water at all fields
Disliked The worst thing is that you have to check out at 10 am sharp! So you have to stand up early and rap a wet tent, because there is no time to dry. The spaces are numbered and very close to each other. You can't choose where you want to stay, at check in they are giving you the number of your place. If you like another, you have to check if it is free with reception, so they can change it.
Staff was not friendly at all.
We will not going back there.

The surroundings…
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)
Liked The surroundings
Disliked The noise all day and night until really late, music blaring through a speaker ! Beebee guns going off until late and then music started loud again at 9am!!
Not relaxing at all and when the security van was doing the rounds, they turned the music down and then as soon as he was out of sight they turned it up again

average
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked camp fires and space for each tent
Disliked showers were broken and cold and not fixed during entire stay even though i complained, also charging for your car at 6 pound a night extra but only telling you once you arrive

Really picturesque location that is London Local!
Primitive grass tent campsite (small)
Liked Love the size of the pitches, the space in between campers, the amount of fields 7!, the area around the campsite is beautiful. Everyone I met was a regular and experience campers which was great as this was my first time camping in 15 years.
Disliked No late check out unless you buy the day ticket. It would make sense to allow weekend campers leave 1/2 hours later on the Sunday if you're not open during the week. Be open more often! Maybe in non summer time do more of a boutique campsite! bell tent/canvas tent/4season tents only. Also promote that day ticket to Londoners needing outdoor spaces and bbqs!!

Primitive grass tent campsite (medium)
Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, offering a sense of peace and tranquility that's hard to come by. One of the highlights was the easy and direct access to Epping Forest, which provided the perfect opportunity for long, scenic walks through nature. The forest trails were well-maintained and ideal for a relaxing stroll or a more adventurous hike. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty

Was cheaper than staying in London, but wasn’t peaceful
Primitive grass tent campsite (medium)
Liked Lots of space, security on the gate, easy to find and managed to check in earlier without any issues. They have wifi but doesn’t reach the back field. Short walk to the tube station through a nice area. Meant we could avoid the ULEZ and the cost of staying in London.
Disliked Toilets weren’t checked through the night so no toilet paper in the morning. Husband said the men’s were awful in the morning. We were parked on field 5 which is a bit of a walk from the toilets and has no signal or wifi. Worst part was the people playing loud music late into the night and at 5am. Husband moved the camper van to get away from the noise. There were signs at the entrance saying no loud music but this wasn’t monitored or enforced. I would suggest in future that you are able to choose a quiet pitch on booking and use field 1/2 for those and that all others are put on the same field on field 5 so that they are the furthest away.

The campsite as a whole was…
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (XL)
Liked The campsite as a whole was large and as it wasn’t fully booked out there were loads of pitches around , it is also not too far from the town centre
Disliked There’s no ‘curfew’ unfortunately we was on a pitch where the other campers liked to have very loud music and doing drugs until the early hours of the morning, they stayed for 2 nights like ourselves and the music was going on past 2:30 in the morning, this was not ideal with having babies with us
There were also children screaming from another pitch until midnight
