 We really like this campsite because we like quiet rural locations with good facilities near by. Harry's bar is excellent in the local village and only a 9 minute stroll away!
The staff on site are always very friendly and helpful and we really like the peace and quiet we get here.
If you want a quiet location, listening to the birds, with nice countryside walks and a peaceful place to get away from it all then this will really suit you. It does us!
Over the last year that we've been staying here we've watched the owners reinvest into the facilities and are seeing them improve every visit. But we like the fact they do their very best to ensure it stays a quiet peaceful 'away from it all' haven.

Took my wife camping for her first time to this lovely site with very friendly staff, the warden very helpful. The location was spot on with shops and pubs nearby and great walks for the dog. Wash room and toilets where very clean. Stayed an extra night enjoyed it that much. We will be booking again soon

We have recently returned from a 5 day stay at Grange Farm Campsite and I must say what a lovely place to stay. We first visited the site several years ago and things have improved no end since then. The campsite is very well kept and the toilets were always clean and tidy. The owners have recently upgraded one of the toilet blocks and also installed hot water which is a lot better. We don't like large campsites with entertainment so this suits us very well. We would often stroll into the village and pop into Tescos Express should we require any food etc. The railway station is a 5 minute walk so we managed to visit our relatives in Colchester very easily and another day we went to the beach on the train! This probably isn't the site for the those families who like entertainment, swimming pools and the generally let their children run riot however for those who can amuse themselves it's absolutely ideal! We've booked up to go again in July!

Stayed here for a night in a tent. Good location for Clacton, just 10-15 mins away. Plenty of supermarkets/retail parks nearby for any essentials you forgot, or stock up when you get here like we did.
Very pleasant and friendly staff, seemed like a popular site with caravans. Reasonably priced considering it was a bank holiday weekend and no minimum stay enforced either.
The only thing that let it down for us, were the toilet/shower blocks. There was just one shower per block, with 2 toilets. It was pretty dingy even with the lights on. We didn't bother to use the shower, and the 2 sinks (one of which was out of order the first night) had only cold water, so couldn't shave/wash there either. The facilities were clean but just not how we like them.

We arrived at Grange Farm, Thorpe Le Soken in a thunderstorm, and were met by a warden who was calling on all visitors to check that they were all right. Our 1 year old Rotweiller Charley Bear was excited as it was his first holiday, and despite the damp start we had a lovely holiday. Really friendly
And relaxed. Toilet and shower blocks spotless, nice
Farm environment, very helpful wardens, and plenty of places to visit. Wonderful walks, and wildlife, the resident pheasant has found a mate, and horses and hens on site.
Shops really near, Thorpe le Soken easily walkable, and a larger Tescos only 2 and a half miles away.
Really recommend this site, and we will certainly return. What made this particular important to us was an animal friendly site for Charley (dogs on leads of course) and a relaxed and friendly site. Thank you very much

Just back from a lovely 2 night stay at Grange Farm. Had a lovely couple of days and the weather was very kind! This was our first camping adventure with the 3 boys.
Arrived at the park, very easy to find and signposted clearly, nobody was at home so called contact number listed at the reception door, was told to pitch up where we liked. We checked out New field which had a few tourers pitched up. We headed for Old field with one tourer set up, we weren't wanting electric hook up in our tent so pitched towards the far side of the large field, 2 sides had hook up available 2 sides grass only. There was wooden pub type garden tables available along with bricks to BBQ on and a drinking water tap available to use. We started to pitch and the warden popped over to say hello, pointed out toilets, showers and the footpath through to town. (Approx 10 mins walk through farm land and a private lane) there is no site shop but Tesco Express is within 10 mins walk, along with take aways should you need anything.
We used the loos and every time both ladies and gents were spotless. Never used the showers but again appeared very clean. The site has recycling facilities next to toilet block, kept tidy. Although a full working farm we were not disturbed by noise, in all an extremely peaceful site. The resident pheasant liked the sound of his own voice and regularly wandered across the field.
The site is located about 15 minutes from Clacton, popular for the beaches and pier.
Overall a clean peaceful site to which we will be returning!
Only improvement I could possibly suggest was a children's play area although mine were happy with a tennis ball and football

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at this site,
I agree the facilities are very basic and showers are charged at 50p per token, we didn't use the showers so cannot comment on what they were like.
The site is on a working farm and the whole place was very tatty, it needed some TLC.
The camping fields grass certainly needed to be cut and when we commented to the warden his response was the field is never empty so cant cut it, but while we were there one side of our field emptied but no attempt was made to cut that side of the field.
Dont think we would hurry back to the site and if we needed to go back to that area would try to search out a different CL.

This is a small quiet site a short walk from the town of Thorpe-le-Soken.
The showers and toilet are pretty basic but adequate, though a little chilly in November.
It is a working equine farm and very picturesque in November, so must be lovely from Spring through to Autumn.
There are some nice walks on the farm itself and the town has some good selection of independent shops.
There is also a train station nearby if you want to visit the Essex & Suffolk seaside.
The owners are friendly.

I have been going to this site since before 2006, last visit was in august this year,
Like everyone says its just a basic fields with block of ladies & gents toilet with shower,
Plenty of lovely walks around the fields, ideal for dog walks, also nice walk to the village through the fields
So close to 3 seaside walton, clacton, & frinton short drive away, bus route & train station just outside of the camp for those that don't have transport,
Plenty of space not over crowded, lots of wild life to see, horse fields,

This site is a total Gem.
Very basic facilities which might put some off but very peaceful and a lovely location with some great views out over the fields. Lots of shops, pubs etc well within walking distance.
Even though it was mid July, there were only a few other units on the site, only 5 in my field and a few tents in another field which meant that I could pretty much pitch where I wanted to.
The warden on site was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive and I'll certainly be returning soon. Top marks from me.
