Last weekend we decided to get away for the weekend and chose Black Barns Farm Campsite near Burham-on-Crouch & Maldon.

It’s a lovely small site, very friendly & quiet. We went there just to get away from it all, and it’s great if you just want to sit around and relax or are passing through.

Website says £7 but it’s now £10. Showers, toilets, wash basins, free use of freezer. There’s an electrical hook-up & a tap.

The pitches are near to the chickens, guinea fowl & ducks and you can buy eggs from the site.

Views across the the River Blackwater estuary are great, and it’s where we took this picture:

Bob was great again, and it gave us a useful trial run to perfect sleeping arrangements with a baby so we’re sorted for Europe in the summer.
