Barleylands in Billericay is owned by the Philpot family who started farming in 1937 on Potton Island, with just 10 acres of arable land. Today, after three generations of Philpot farmers, careful strategic planning, land management and business diversification, the Philpot family now farms a total of 12,800 acres in Essex and Suffolk and owns one of South East England’s most popular educational farming and craft centre attractions – Barleylands.
Our campsite offers a number of pitches located along the River Crouch and further down to our main field. We have grass and hard standing pitches that accept electric hook-up. Toilet and shower blocks are located at various points around the area, as well as electric and water points (additional facilities for disabled guests within 250m).
The Barleylands Farm Shop is just a short drive away from the campsite and is open 7 days per week. Bulk bookings are welcome for group meets, as well as one off pitches. Dogs are very welcome on site but must be kept on a lead and cleaned up after. There is plenty of open space surrounding the campsite for dog walking.
There is plenty of open space surrounding the campsite for walking around the scenic countryside and the number 300 bus stop is only 50m from the campsite if you wanted to travel further afield. Also within easy walking distance (less than 300m), you will find The Village at Barleylands, which is home to a unique collection of artisan craft studios and boutiques that you are welcome to browse from 10am to 4pm, Tuesday to Sunday.
If you would like to be pampered during your stay, The Village is home to some luxury treatment rooms or enjoy the fun workshops and activities for all ages, including Pottery Painting!
There are two eateries based within The Village where you can stop for a bite to eat; Tiptree Tea Rooms (open 9-4, 7 days a week) and The Magic Mushroom Restaurant (open 12-late Weds to Sat and 12-4 Sun). If you are looking for a fun day out for all the family, you can always visit Barleylands Farm Park, which is right next door to the campsite and open 10am to 4pm every day throughout Winter and 10am to 5pm every day throughout Summer
When camping you can also take advantage of our Stay and Play offer – 2 days worth of Farm Park tickets for the price of 1! Fancy something a bit more up close and personal? We also offer a VIP Experience, perfect for individuals or small groups, and can be tailored to your preferences.

We arrived at Barleylands and easily found our pitch. After sorting things out, we discovered a fault with the EHU as it appeared to not be working correctly.Quick visit to site and explained the situation and was advised someone would come and have a look. The guys turned up and it was sorted with no complaints at all.After taking the cats for a small walk, we decided to have a look around and we were very surprised by what we found Two golf courses, one football and the other a great looking crazy course.The shop(s) were also well priced and so were entrance fees for which ever activity you choose to do.We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return
It seems that all the good things of other camp sites have been incorporated in this site. Showers where you don't have to keep pressing a button to keep the water flowing. Plenty of room in each shower room with enough hooks for your clothing and towel. Pitches very clearly marked out with very clear directions to those pitches. Each pitch is perfectly flat with loads of room so you're not on top of one another. All the facilities are spotless and there is a cafe and restaurant close at hand.
Personally i left early because some young punks trashed up the place and especially the sanitary block in the morning. I read this remark before.The only thing i can think of as solution is a little more personal approach on reception and survey.I arrived and went on without meeting anyone from your organisation.RegardsJ.
great location, nice local pubs within short taxi ride, site was clean and well maintained. toilets were spotless and the pitches were large and well maintained.
I’m not writing for you to share. If interested contact me and I will tell you what was wrong
The location is easy to get to, and there are many wonderful activities, form farm visit, horse riding, to small workshops. The campsite is neat and tidy always during lowe season. I will avoid Summer Holiday here though, I couldn't have a good night sleep because of neighbouring campers either play loud music til late, children leaving their toys everywhere, and couples fighting. The toilets and showers are decent, hot water shower and in general clean, but some campers are just not considerate, I would suggest leave a squidgy like other campsites do, make the people clean after themselves.
