Why stay here ...

Horndon-on-the-Hill is a lovely historic village situated in Thurrock.  Our site is peaceful, has 5 level pitches with EHU and is set in an old orchard with horse paddocks on three sides. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. Our site is kept clean and tidy and you'll find recycling bins on site. 

The village centre is a 10 minute walk via a footpath and has a convenience store, post office and a butchers. There are also two pubs, one of which is a 15th century coaching inn which serves good food and beer - and its down hill on the way back!

The site is convenient for access to the M25 and Dartford crossing for both Lakeside and Bluewater shopping centres. You can also easily access London via overground trains from nearby Stanford-le-Hope or Laindon or underground trains from Upminster (12 miles).
