What customers say

Relaxing, eco-friendly site with ample, private pitches (fire pit/bench included). Clean facilities, great walks. Mostly quiet, though some report guest noise or minor maintenance/comms glitches. Staff usually helpful.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location is great for a day away from London. I love the fact of being able to do the fire, everyone respectful and very quiet. You have a nice walking path. I thought I could be able to swim but there is not facilities for it. The showers are hot and nice.

Disliked Even if it is a dry toilet I will suggest the possibility to change the bag at least two times per day,otherwise you can see and smell the sheet of everyone in the camping 😅 would be nice to have access to water,even if it cold to wash your hands after using the toilet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: AFTER HAVING THE TOILETS VANDALISED TWICE IN TWO DAYS. The toilets were changed more than twice a day over the bank holiday weekend. Unfortunately this weekend attracts campers that did not have our usual calibre of respect for other guests.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Good size of pitch! Managed a lot of kit with plenty of room left over! Fire pit was nice but the location within the pitch differed per pitch. Surrounding fields are nice too

Disliked Name of the site is misleading, more of a field view than the Thames. Eco friendly composting toilets could use some more regular cleaning/emptying (they are cleaned once a day but could maybe do with a deep clean) as well as the shower cubicles. One sink for washing up which caused some queues in the morning

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very nice place to camping and chill

Disliked could be good to have some one at the camping to talk, no workers are in the place

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Always available if needed, we visit the site at least twice a day. Sorry we missed you although I am pretty sure I spoke to you at your pitch?
From other guests who were there when you stayed.
No drama from management who were always at the end of a phone
Vince was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked A peaceful site, with an Environment friendly ethos. Compost toilets spread out across the site, washing up facility and showers.
Easy to book and self check in.

Disliked Not a negative comment but we didn’t realise we wouldn’t be allocated a pitch. It was a turn up and find a pitch scenario and as we arrived later afternoon therefore we couldn’t easily find an available pitch but regardless we found somewhere on the end and was quite happy.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Originally booked for one night, ended up staying four. Peaceful site with everything you need, all staff we met were super nice. Lots to do within a short distance. Thank you for making our stay amazing :)

Quirky washing area and little finishing touches like mirrors. Toilets well stocked always. Cheap firewood on hand, pitches super roomy and private. Access secure and handy, well kept dog walk route. Great explanations in all of the toilets. Very well maintained site, immaculate

Disliked People whom moan about smell from toilet, yet let there children go unattended, mixing pee and poop is why it smells!!! So many signs explaining, so simple if people just used them correct or helped thier children to use them correct!!!

Local attractions

Start local by exploring the Thameside Nature Discovery Park, next to the site – footpaths and bike trails crisscross the 120-acre site with lots of wildlife to spot in this Site of Special Scientific Interest. Alternatively, give your legs a really good stretch with a walk on the 27-mile Thames Estuary Path, which runs alongside the site. Stop by at the Coalhouse Fort (15 minutes’ walk) for a touch of glamour – it’s regularly used as a film location (perhaps most famously for Batman Begins). The Thames opens out into the sea, of course – and not that far away, either. Set off for a seaside day with outings to Canvey Island (25 minutes’ drive) or Southend-on-Sea (40 minutes). Both have indoor attractions too, which is handy for less clement days – Canvey Island Transport Museum and Southend’s Sea Life Adventure are good picks for such times.
