This is my second stay at Barleylands and it was overall a lovely stopover with minor hiccups.I was there as a stopover from a long trip before heading to Southend on sea the next day. I took up a grass pitch (Zone D 49) with electric hookup to recharge overnight before continuing with the journey. Nice and quiet flat grass pitch. The wooden shower cabin is always occupied but I have compost toilet in van so it was fine. The Unisex shower compartment I used, the tap button was broken but it is doable, still got a satisfying strong hot shower. Someone walked passed my van and switched off the power. The next morning young children from the tent next pitch were weeing in the lawn.Despite all that it was a really pleasant stay, will be back and definitely share with friends

The camping site looks lovely it lacks on better facilities. More toilets and showers. If there was a small shop on site and the drive in cinema was running we would have happly spent a lot more money.

Site is large and well laid out with spacious pitches. Unfortunately the facilities don’t quite match up. Attended shower block around 8am on Saturday, it was empty as would expect at this time on a Saturday morning. Shower was cold and with very little pressure, more like a trickle feed. When I pointed this out to staff I was told to leave it 30mins and try again!

Nice site, plenty to do or just chill. Be nice to have a tap on the pitch, but there was one you could park at and fill up before you go on your alloted pitch.

Such a lovely place just wish there were more than 2 toilets for our pitch. Also think some kind of gate system should be in place as anyone can walk into the campsite if visiting the farm

The site is located in a lovely setting where children can safely play. Dog are allowed but must stay on a leash which allows the site to remain free from dog waste. There are ample bins provided for that. The toilet/shower areas were often busy and there was a wait to use them. Depending on the time of day and usage there was a small build up of rubbish on the toilet floors due to some guests not clearing up. When the toilets were cleaned, daily, this was done to a high standard. The facilities on the site was amazing. It would of been nice to have a small shop as to walk to the farm shop was a little scary! The horses and farm rides kept us entertained 😆 Overall it was a good stay.

Excellent value for money, the site is clean and tidy with adequate washing / shower facilities.Lovely on site cafe in the farm shopping area.

We took our large 8x5m tent to give our 2 under 5 nieces thier first camping experience. Everyone loved the location. A 3 night stay wasn't enough to do barleylands and engage with the shopping village too! We will probably be back next year!Pitches were large - so large we didn't quite know where to pitch so some assistance on arrival would have been helpful. I'd it to the centre, left or right of thr pitch sign? It took us about 15 minutes to work this out for ourselves as we were in the middle of an empty row so didn't want to intrude on any newcomers pitches.Toilets and showers were clean with no queues. However the camp was half full over may half term, so peak season in summer may be interesting Pitches were level and well drainedOverall we had a great time and used our time to explore barleylands. Thanks for the discounted 2 day entry!

We stayed for two nights. Very reasonable price clean toilets and showers Plenty of space to pitch

I can think of any faults on our stay. It helped that we had all the gear for camping.
