 Wow. We have just returned from a lovely weekend at Grange Farm. My husband and I have not been camping for a few years but last weekend decided to buy a tent and go, which is what we did.
Booked in to Grange Farm as we live in North Yorkshire but I am from Essex and Grange Farm was perfectly situated to visit family and visit the beaches around the area.
The site was quiet clean and the staff are so helpful, The sunset over the small wind turbines is stunning, and the views are lovely you can see for miles. Toilet/shower block are very clean, we have seen some sights over the years, when we used to go camping with the kids a few years back. The camp is perfect for couples like ourselves, but great for couples with kids and dogs too.
Grange Farm is a short walking distance from Thorpe-le-Soken a little town with a few pubs and shops, we would highly recommend The Crown meal was fantastic. On Saturday we walked to the railway station and went to Frinton and Walton. (Never used the car once we were there)
We are ready to book again in the next few days and there will be plenty more times, even though it had taken us 7 hrs with traffic to arrive on Friday it was well worth it. Thank you Grange Farm xx

Other reviews have covered this one more than I can as we only stayed overnight, but I will say it was one of the few sites that I will make a point of staying at again
Clean toilets with toilet papar, soap, hot water etc, firm level ground, plenty of space per pitch, reasonably priced (£15 with EHU) & lots of walks with dog off lead ( & cheapest I've come across for a dog - 50p!
There are signs saying dogs on leads but there were some ( including ours) that were free range. The guy on the bike (a very very nice man) maybe he works for the AA, said that the place is full of Dutch visitors in the summer so if you're planning a stay in high season then probably better to book. Well worth a stay if you're in the area.

Just back from a two night stay at this lovely peaceful campsite.
We were met by a very polite chap, who jumped on his bike and we followed him down to the camping field. We didn't require EHU, so were told to pitch up along the back of the field (facing the new toilet block - which is in the process of being built!)
We had trouble getting our tent pegs in, as the ground was very stony, in fact, we broke the mallet, and had to drive down to the next village at Weely to go to the camping shop to buy rock pegs and a new mallet! Even with rock pegs we struggled to get them in, AND broke another mallet - so be warned!
The site was very quiet, there is no playground, although there is a small football pitch that is fenced off between the camping field and the owners house.
The toilets were small - only two in the ladies & gents, with one small hand basin. The showers cost 50p for 6 minutes, and although spotlessly clean, my partner found them to be too small to turn round in - there is only one shower per block, too.
Excellent dog walks through the fields, and up to Thorpe Le Soken village.
We found that both the pubs in the village are closed on a Monday lunch time - not good when you fancy a plough mans & a pint!
All in all, a great basic site. We will return.

Fabulous site ! We had moved from another site which we had not liked and the difference was amazing !. Toilets spotless, plenty of water points, easy hook up. Nicely spaced out so you feel quite private. Footpath to the village (about 5 mins) with lots of restaurants, takeaways, and Tesco Express. Pretty village as well. Birds in abundance - a duck was even waddling about. Made for very interesting 'chilling'.
Very convenient for Clacton, Walton on the Naze and the rest of the coastline.
Very much in the country - make sure you got petrol before you arrive !
Would be delighted to visit again but its a bit far from us unless we doing long distance travelling.
Saw the warden who was usually about but didn't need to ask anything as it was all in the leaflet.
All in all a SUPER stay !

I have been going to grange farm now for a lot off years and ithought it was time I wrote a review. It is a lovely site toilets always very clean everyone concerned with the site are always welcoming. I go here every year now and have great holiday. I would recommend this site to anyone. The site is very quiet if that is what you want and just down road you have everything you need. I hope this review is usefull to anyone who is thinking of visiting this site

We stayed here just one night, it was my wifes first return to camping since childhood and ever since has an aversion to tents which is a shame as I am a scout leader and the 2 boys are in scouts and Explorers. We arrived at the site a little apprehensive with all the rules that seem to be on the information but we were greeted by a very welcoming host who showed us to the site and we were pitched and ready in 45 mins. The site is very tidy and there is a lot of space between pitches so felt very private, there are plenty of water points. The best parts are the toilets and showers which were spotless - a big plus with my wife. A bit different to scout camps. We have relatives at Frinton-on-Sea (15 mins away) so we had a great time on the beach on one of the hottest days of the year. A fish and chip supper from Kirby Cross (10 mins away) what could be better
I recommend this site

I go camping because my children enjoy it and I would be unlikely to go if it weren't for them.
As camp sites go this is nice. The showers are good, though there could be more of them.
People have made comments about it needing improving and the lack of a playground. It may have escaped their notice but it's an arable farm, the primary purpose of which is to grow crops. Farms are not naturally neat and tidy places. In short, IT'S A FARM! Don't go to a farm if you don't expect it to be like a farm (moan over!).

We spent five nights in our touring caravan at Grange Farm Campsite. We couldn't have wished for a more pleasant stay. Very friendly, plenty of space, peaceful surroundings, lots of nice walks for the dogs and beautiful scenic runs for my husband. A five minute walk into the village of Thorpe Le Soken where they have plenty of eating establishments, pubs and I even had my nails done at the beauty shop! Also a Tesco Express in the village which was handy. Shower/toilets were always spotless. Only one shower in each block but never had to wait/queue. 50 pence meter for 6 minutes shower time. Water always lovely and hot. The family run business is very friendly and Mary even came to say goodbye to us on the day we left. Our dogs loved the rural surroundings with horses grazing around the farm and the hay making in the distant fields made it just the peaceful break we needed. It is so convenient for trips to Frinton, Clacton, Walton on the Naze (all within 10 minutes drive) and all the places of interest you will want to visit. We wanted to stay longer so will definitely be going back!

On our arrival we were given a warm welcome from the owners and John the site warden, who is so friendly and helpful. The site is very clean and well kept. The toilets are basic but were always spotlessly clean. Although a working farm, the site is so peaceful, with many lovely walks all around the farm. There is pleasant a 10 minute walk to the village of Thorpe le Soken, where there is a Tesco Extra & a couple of very pleasant country pubs and excellent restaurants. Another bonus to the site is that Frinton on Sea is only a few miles away, with its beautiful beach, lovely shops and delightful bistros. Clacton on Sea is also near, for those preferring a livelier seaside resort. All in all, we will look forward to coming back.

We love this site! The owners and the warden are extremely helpful and friendly, the toilets are immaculately clean and it's in a lovely location. The site is very well run, which makes for a relaxing and peaceful break. There is a shop about 10 minutes walk through the fields and amazing views from the foothpaths nearby. We will be back! :)
