Terrible camp site in Essex. Don't go there!

Post by Reg the Wedge »

We’ve just has a terrible few days camping in Essex. Not my usual choice of camp site. I prefer sites nearer the coast, but somebody said that it’s a very popular site and that there’s always a load of people there. In fact we were lucky to get in. The site was called Dale Farm, near Basildon.

Whatever you do, don’t go there. The facilities are basic (you have to dig your own latrine), there are too many kids, and the noise was unbelievable. We were told that the site was for Travellers, but we were the only camper there. There were a lot of statics and prefab type buildings though. Not much travelling going on!

Security was very good however, with plenty of police and private security guards. And just as well, because there were a load of Pikeys taking quite an interest in the camper. The police were very helpful though. When we said we wanted to leave they escorted us off the site. It’s a crap site, but for some reason, I think they were making a documentary about it, because there were loads of cameras around and people being interviewed.

If there’s a programme on ITV3 or More4 called ’Camp Sites from Hell’, that’ll be Dale Farm. :run
I have got my foot down!
