Camping pod

Liked: Basic but very good pod, excellent insulation, so warm and quiet. Couple of electrical sockets with usb. Beds were comfortable, toilet facilities very close and restaurant good. Swimming pool excellent, clean and modern, looks like it was a recent addition to the site.

Disliked: Lack of lighting around whole site, and lack of exit signs. No running water for camping pods (told they had to turn off the water as kids kept turning them on and were flooding the site) and unsure if dishwasher area water was drinking safe. Toilets were basic, women’s were okay but male toilets were very dirty. Had to pay extra for WiFi near our pod, which you have to keep checking your device is still connected to it.

Camping pod

Liked: Park facilities, the swimming pool was well maintained, the playgrounds are spotted around the camp site, the activities for children. The pods are a great alternative to a tent - very warm even at night.

Disliked: The toilets are a let down - smell of wee and in a need of refurbishment.

Camping pod

Liked: Golf and swimming pool. Pod was nice and clean.

Disliked: EXPENSIVE bar. A double vodka lemonade and lime and a double rum and coke £17.60! We stay at a lot of holiday parks,haven, seal bay resorts, parkedean and found this the most overpriced place we've ever been to! No hot water for the x2 days we were there so couldn't shower or wash up properly . Couldn't use swimming pool showers to wash hair as no toiletries were allowed.

Camping pod

Liked: Park was really was clean and tidy, loads of amenities and lots for the kids to do. Pool was great, easy to book and never had a problem getting a space. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Great beach for exploring a few minutes walk away. Toilets were well maintained and clean. Stayed in a camping pod for the first time and would definitely do so again.

Local attractions

Heading into Harwich? Hang around to roam around Redoubt Fort (a circular seaside lookout built in the early 19th century and still with some of its original cannons), check out life below deck on Lightvessel LV18 or take in a film in one of the UK’s oldest cinemas. If it’s traditional entertainment you’re after, both Walton-on-the-Naze (25 minutes’ drive) and Clacton-on-Sea (half an hour) have proper pleasure piers along with their beaches (and fish and chips to have on the sands). Set up way earlier than either is Colchester (35 minutes), the oldest recorded town in Britain and now home to both Roman ruins and a Norman castle (plus a zoo and trampoline park if the history stuff doesn’t grab you). To see some of the area’s native species, head to Hamford Water National Nature Reserve (35 minutes) or the Essex Wildlife Trust’s bird and butterfly sanctuary Fingringhoe Wick (45 minutes). A fab collection of farm animals and a wildlife park are at Jimmy’s Farm (35 minutes). If you’ve more of an eye for aesthetic pleasures, make a beeline for Beth Chatto Gardens (25 minutes) or Flatford (half an hour), the National Trust site that inspired many a painting for John Constable.
