Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Warm welcome by owner Sarah. The site is very peaceful, well kept, with clean toilets and a shower. The pitches have superb views over open “big sky” countryside, with bird life and planes from Duxford to watch. On clear nights the dark sky provided a chance to view the stars and satellites overhead. It was very peaceful during our stay and other users of the campsite were friendly and considerate. The site felt secure with an electric gate to the farm entrance for which Sarah will lend you a remote opener (on payment of a deposit) if you are coming and going frequently. The nearby Red Cow pub had a good selection of beers and serves food although we didn’t eat there. We really enjoyed our stay.

Liked: Beautiful site, well kept with two toilets and shower. What made it exceptional was the lovely warm welcome from Sarah. A fabulous weekend. Grateful thanks to Ollie who gave us a lift to Audley End. A smashing young man and we wish him all the best at Oxford and his future career.
Disliked: Nothing! A Field of Dreams

Liked: A true gem of a campsite! Arrived to a lovely warm welcome from Sarah. Fabulous level and spacious field with spectacular views. The shower and toilet facilities were a bonus and kept beautifully clean and the site felt very safe and secure. Perfect location for visiting Audley End House for a Heritage Live event. Had a delicious meal in the Red Cow which is roughly a 20 minute walk from the site. Would definitely visit again and explore more in the area.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: What an unexpectedly beautiful and delightfully simple campsite! We only stayed for one night, in the area visiting family, but it was perfect for our needs. The site has an amazing view north towards (and past) Cambridge - who'd have thought somewhere like this existed in Essex! The facilities are very simple but all you need. No hook up but if you have solar you're ok. Absolutely silent at night, only a handful of other campers there. Pitch where you like, but loads of space given a limit on numbers. Bliss.
