Lots of walks along the river and through the woods and fields.Very dog friendly. Close to Chelmsford for shopping and also Maldon which is great for children. Local pubs and fish and chip shops. Close to a rural road but still peaceful. ]]> Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:55:27 -0600 1447-160 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/36-norfolk/1447-deers-glade-caravan-and-camping-park.html We stayed at Deers Glade for 7 nights. Wife went to reception to get us booked in, Just in case i had to move the car. We were guided to our pitch by the owners daughter on her bike. Pitch was quite large. Once pitched up we had a quick walk around to get localised with the facilities. Both the toilets and shower blocks were immaculate. The site was clean and tidy. We were in amongst other vanners and tents. The place had a good friendly feel to it. But beware at night, you need a good torch. To me not enough lighting. But then again you don't want a lot of light if you in a tent.... Plenty of water points & waste water points. Not much of a phone signal if you need to be in contact with the outside world, but they do have wifi.... We would gladly go again if holidaying in the area. ]]> Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:01:19 -0600 760-85 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/38-cambridgeshire/760-stanford-park.html To cut a long story short we had a pitch booked to arrive at the site 10AM however due to a slight delay in leaving and unexpected traffic on out trip (Quite a long 3 hour trip) we where a couple of hours late. Upon arrival the owner met us and told us he had been trying to contact us since 11am. I told him that I had not received any calls however my phone had been on a car mount for the whole trip and maybe I had a bad signal. At this point the owner became very aggressive and accused me of calling him a lier. To which I replied that I was not calling him a lier but just that my phone had not rung. It transpires that he had already given our pitch away although it was still only 1pm in the afternoon. When I asked him if he had any additional pitches he aggressively told me he did not and it was my own fault. He continued to raise his voice at me at which point I got in my car and drove off to try and find somewhere else. All in all I'm sure the camp site is very nice but the owner has some serious customer customer service issues that he needs to address with himself. For this reason I can not recommend this camp site to anyone as if you are a bit late there is every chance that you will be talked to very badly by the owner and have nowhere to stay when you arrive. ]]> Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:47:02 -0600 1388-83 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/34-essex/1388-the-lodge-caravan-cl-site.html A relaxing site to take a break. Lovely clean toilet building. Pitches with their own water and electric. Friendly owner. ]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:45:05 -0600 1171-80 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/35-suffolk/1171-moat-barn-touring-caravan-park.html A spotless site that the owners obviously take great pride in, the pitches are all level grass and clearly marked out, the owners are very particular as to how you pitch up so make sure you go see them first if at all possible. The caravan park is quiet and while not an adult only site there isn't much for children to do and I felt the site was probably more suited to adults. There are a few seasonal pitches and a few spaces for tents with the majority of the tourers in the central area. All the facilities are close at hand and again very, very well maintained. The campsite is close to a local pub, probably about a 10-15 min walk and Woodbrige is a short drive away. We didn't have much time to get out and explore but certainly will next time. A good find and I would recommend it without doubt ]]> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:41:23 -0600 1211-70 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/36-norfolk/1211-thetford-forest-camping-and-caravanning-club-site.html Stayed here a couple of months back and its a smashing site with some great walks in the forest directly accessible from the campsite. Facilities are good and access to the site is easy. ]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:23:11 -0600 748-68 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/36-norfolk/748-searles-holidays-and-leisure-resort.html Went to Searles in April 2009. We stayed in our tent. The site was very clean & lovely. Would recomend it to everyone. I have 3 kids (they were 5,13 and 15 at the time) they really enjoyed it. Gr8 entertainement in the eve's and the swimming pool was lovely as well. There is also a Tesco's nearby the site which took about 5mins to walk there or 1 min (very handy). Will be going again asap ]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:08:11 -0600 993-63 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/35-suffolk/993-polstead-camping-and-caravanning-club-site.html Slight tricky to access and exit this site for our outfit (Ford Explorer & Adria Adora 642UP) but with a bit of care the tight 90 deg entry and exit turns were manageable. Pitches are truly first class with plenty of room for the van & awning if required. Toilet block/facilities were also first class - they have done a magnificent job on the recent refurbishments. The wardens were helpful beyond the call of duty and knowledgeable about the area. Overall we would highly recommend this site to anyone and look forwards to going back again. ]]> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:04:37 -0600 993-62 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/35-suffolk/993-polstead-camping-and-caravanning-club-site.html The campsite gets better all the time. The newly refurbished facilities are really nice the underfloor heating makes having a shower a pleasure. There has been a motorhome service point added and the washing up area has been refittted and enlarged. Smashing campstite, well worth a visit ]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:55:15 -0600 993-60 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/35-suffolk/993-polstead-camping-and-caravanning-club-site.html Visited this site twice in 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed it; the site managers couldn't be more pleasant and helpful. With the site developments that have been planned for the closed season it should make the site even better for 2010 and we look forward to going back again to see the developments. Pub within walking distance does a great Sunday carvery! ]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:54:56 -0700
