Dogs welcome

Grange Farm Campsite is set in a small working farm on the edge of Thorpe-le-Soken, a short drive from Clacton, Frinton and Walton-on-the-Naze. Pitches are spread over three grass fields, Cherry, Oak and Brambles, each with its own toilet and shower block. Most pitches come with an electric hook-up, an awning and room for one car, and there is a cheaper non-electric economy option and a one-person biker pitch.

It is a calm, adults-first sort of place: no play area, no group bookings and gates locked at 11pm. Campers often use it as a stopover before the Harwich ferry, and early departures can be arranged with reception. The village has a railway station with trains to Clacton, and public footpaths run through the farm for dog walks.
