Why stay here ...
The Courts Campsite is a secure caravan and motorhome site, exclusively for Caravan and Motorhome Club members. Here you will enjoy 5 hard standing fully serviced pitches open all year round.
Set in the serene woodlands of Little Baddow, The Courts Campsite is the perfect break away from the hustle of day-to-day life. Step out of your motorhome or caravan straight into nature and head off for the multitude of woodland walks and forest rambles. Get on your bike and head for an off-road adventure through the trees and shrubbery. Embrace all that nature has to offer from regional birds, rabbits, foxes and badgers. Sit back and listen to the local wildlife. Visit the local lock for boat rides, canoeing and paddle boarding. For those looking for a more relaxing activity visit the tea rooms and pubs that are in the vicinity.
The Courts Campsite is based in Little Baddow, a small village located in Essex. Despite its rural setting, it is close to several larger towns and cities, including Maldon and Chelmsford.

3 night stay with motorhome.
The Courts
We are a pair of elderly motorhomers and the one mistake I made was not bringing our car, although I had my bike, the site is great for cycle routes.
My other half couldn’t go far, although she was more than happy to sit and read.
As other reviews Paul the owner is great to talk to, he knows what people want.
We walked to the Generals pub to find it closed for the day, next day walked down to the Rodney pub, only just over half a mile, pub was ok but being the steepest hill in Essex took us 30 minutes to climb back.
Hope to visit again with the rest of our family.
3 night stay
The Courts
We booked a 3 night stay and wasn't disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by Paul, the owner. The site is lovely and secluded and the pitches are large and spacious. Definitely recommend The Courts for a peaceful and relaxing break.
Great CL
The Courts
Spent three nights at The Courts and what a beautiful spot. Although there are no far reaching views the woodland location more than makes up for that. Friendly welcome from Paul on arrival. This is a new CL and Paul has done everything he can to make it lovely. Huge pitches. Walks straight from the site. Would have no hesitation in visiting the site again.

A Greatly Needed Facility for the Village, and Perfectly Created
The Courts
We're used to staying on CLs and paying approximately £15 p.n., although the going rate seems to be creeping up to cover energy-costs etc. I was a little apprehensive about paying £30 per night, but booked as it's the only site in the area where we wanted to stay. The site is brand new and maintained pristinely, and must have been a huge investment for the owners, with state-of-the-art fully-serviced pitches, all separated by healthy laurels which will mature into lovely hedges. The location is perfect, on the edge of gorgeous woodland, with both central Danbury and the river Chelmer/Paper Mill Lock less than two miles away (to the south and north) through fabulous woodland/countryside walks. Our 7 nights went far too quickly, and it was a real wrench to drag ourselves away. This is a much-needed facility within the beautiful district of Little Baddow/Danbury, and we will DEFINITELY make time to return at least once a year. It was certainly worth every penny!
