Hillbilly - we have been to Forgewood a few times and really liked it but the last time we went we found ourselves a bit crowded in with a group deciding they absolutely had to camp just next to our group despite there being plenty of space in the field. To the extent our guys crossed and their snoring sounded like it was right by my head.
So we thought we would try somewhere a bit quieter and Chafford Park was perfect. It is just one field rather than two and (so far as I know) you can't camp in the woods or couldn't last year. The owner basically just mowed enough spaces for the mnumber of people she had coming so there was lots of long grass for children to play (and get lost) in. There was also a couple of rope swings in the woods which went down brilliantly with the children. Unfortunately, the second time we went back someone had stolen the wooden seat of one of the swings which was a shame as it was the better of the two. I don't know if it has been replaced since.
The owner sells local ice cream which is lovely and a van comes in the mornings (maybe only one morning per weekend - I can't remember) and sells bread and croissants, bacon, cakes and newspapers and other stuff, which is nice.
The facilities are nice but limited. In a breezeblock building with two showers (which require change) and two loos apiece for each sex. They are warm which is nice, but if the site gets any busier than it was last year, they are going to need to extend.
I felt Forgewood has a more rugged, outdoorsy feel to it than Chafford Park, but I am not sure if that is because they have the outdoor craft type activities going on at Forgewood, or maybe the camping in the woods, or what exactly. Or maybe it is because it has always been rainier and colder when we camped at Forgewood whereas last year's gorgeous weather meant we were bathed in sunshine both weekends we went to CP.
Oh and there is no restaurant or cafe at CP, but there are nice pubs quite close by and the owner will tell you about them.
