Definitely one of the best within the M25. Some great woodland. Better access road though. Car bottomed out on the dirt road in. Cheaper than a hotel. Bit smoky, but fairly peaceful and quiet.
Great place

Lovely campsite with two options for camping field, with trees and shade or open and sunny. The farm is a plus, especially for families with little kids. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I recommend.
