Camping Equipment is available to hire which includes wet weather tents, toilet tents and lat buckets. We also have cooking equipment, grids for fires, altar fires and also a BBQ.
Activities
Our woodland site is an ideal place for wood fires as there is plenty of dead wood to collect in the wooded areas and it’s a great place to try out some backwoods cooking.
With the open grassland the campsite is a beautiful place to sleep out under the stars and we have bivvy bags that can be hired. Alternatively, why not build your own natural shelter for the night.
With a mix of woodland and grassland our campsite is ideal for wide games and sports.
The surrounding area has some great walks from the site through national trust woodland or down to the Chelmer and Blackwater navigation.
As an important site for nature why not come and explore the wide range of wildlife, birds and plant life at Riffhams.
Riffhams is close to Maldon and Chelmsford which offer swimming, roller-skating, bowling and ice skating. Danbury Outdoors is located a short walk from the campsite offering a wide range of adventurous activities.
