I booked this site via email and am appreciative of th excellent, friendly and professional communications with Jon who manages the site. On arrival he couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and remained like that throughout my 8 day stay.
The site is huge and when it is not used for camping and caravanning it is used for shows - hence its size. So there is very little risk of being crowded unless you want electricity and you and your neighbours have short cables! There are no marked out pitches so you are quite free how and where to pitch with only gentle guidance from the owner. The mood among the campers was private yet very friendly. I made some good friends there during my stay.
Water, electricity etc are all there. The shower and loo blocks are in portable cabins and although some other reviewers complained about a lack of privacy - this does not need to be the case. For example one of the shower cabins has two showers but you can lock the outside door so that you can shower in privacy at the same time as another family member. But even when I was alone I locked the door. No prob compared to some other campsites a porta cabin is basic but it is more than adequate and the excellent value of this camp site makes it inappropriate to expect the Ritz!
The location is great it you like antiques or a vintage bargain. It is also near the beaches and rivers of Essex. There are two asdas within a few miles and the next village (Hullbridge) is an easy cycle ride away with three convenience supermarkets etc.
Great site if you are not expecting the Ritz. Toilets and showers were functional, and did the job they were supposed to do. The drive in through the antiques fair was a but surreal.
Jon the site person (owner I think) couldn't be more helpful.
It's a good location if you want to visit London with the railway station just a short walk away.
As I have said if you are looking for basic, that is in a good position to explore Essex or London, then you can't do much worse than here.
Yes it's basic but does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Strange place to write about. Never been anywhere like it before, don't know where to start.
First of all, Battlesbridge is the weirdest place I have ever been. Just a bunch of buildings scattered all over the place, that sell antiques, bric-a-brac, even, dare I say, general junk. Quite pleasant actually, most certainly different. Muggeridge Farm is one such place, with loads of these little buildings.
To get to the campsite you need to go on the road straight through the middle of these buildings. Once you have managed this, you arrive at a huge field. A few scattered electric hookups, and three or four portable cabins in one corner pertaining to be toilets and showers. That's your lot.
There is tremendous potential here, but also a lot of work to put in yet. But at £11 a night including EHU, you can't moan. But I will give constructive criticism. There is a tap where you can fill your water up, an Elsan of sorts, toilets are disgusting (Jon, take note, you need a cleaner), showers work fine, but they are mixed, three of them in a portable cabin, but all with see through doors, so the only option is to bolt the door of the whole unit and stop anyone else getting in. If this is to be a going concern, these toilets and showers have to be replaced with something more acceptable.
People are lovely, Jon and Jim really pleasant and helpful. There are no shops close by that I could find, although we found a Tesco about 10 minutes drive away.
The place is locked up at night, after about 5. 30pm. It's alarmed, so if you walk into 'town' (well the Barge Inn), you need to go out the 'back' way. You can get out with a car, but I wouldn't like to take my van that way.
There is a Toby Carvery about 5 minutes drive away, that was very good. It's well placed for visiting Brentwood, Chelmsford, Southend etc. As I say, plenty of potential here, but still a long way to go.
This was our first camping trip, and it was a wonderful place to stay. The owner John was very helpful, and also the other people that helped us.
The setting was perfect for us, very quiet and relaxing. The toilet and showers were not fantastic, but more than adequate for what we needed for one night.
Very lovely quaint little village, and The Barge Inn is a must if you are visiting. Will definitely be back by the end of the summer.
If you like antiques then this is the place to visit, also spotted a little seafood shack at the side of the road in the village.
