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.

Stunning small campsite

The Courts
Arrived in April to a very warm welcome from Paul. The site is immaculate and set in a sheltered hollow. All 5 pitches are fully serviced and on gravel. It is so peaceful there. Just outside the site is a walk through the woods and the bluebells are spectacular. This leads on to further walks in beautiful countryside with some amazing views. Paul was a mine of information helping choose our daily trips and local eateries. We visited Maldon, Chelmsford, the tea rooms at the lock and The Tin Roof at a brilliant garden centre. We also walked to Olio, the local restaurant, twice as it was soo good. They welcome dogs. Our stay was perfect. Thank you Paul. We were in a Motorhome. Our friends have a caravan, so it was easy to get around.

Immaculately kept campsite

The Courts
Lovely small campsite in amazing setting which is kept immaculate. A lot of hard work has gone into making this site absolutely perfect in every way including fully serviced pitches. There’s some beautiful walks direct from the site and loads of sightseeing around the area. The local pub serves excellent food and is only a five minute walk, it also allows dogs in the bar area. Brilliant site with great owners, would highly recommend.

A perfect site for exploring Essex

The Courts
We spent a wonderful week at The Courts campsite in March. We were given a very warm welcome by Paul and Collette who described the site facilities and local attractions. These included the local pub where we spent a very enjoyable evening. The site was immaculately clean and well maintained with fully serviced pitches. Paul also explained the plans that he has to further enhance the site in the coming years, so it can only get better. The WIFI on the site is excellent. The local area provides many opportunities for days out with beautiful walks and scenery. We would highly recommend this site to anyone planning a visit to Essex.

Great stay

The Courts
What a very pleasant stay, ease of arrival and great directions from Paul. The site is truly a great place to visit Very well laid out, the fully serviced pitches are a real pleasure and make setting up on arrival extremely easy. The site is any easy 30 minute walk from Paper mill lock and tea rooms. We will most definitely be visiting again
