Angela T. Sept 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: The position of the site is fantastic - close to town with lots of dog friendly cafés and enough shops to potter around, and spitting distance of the seafront and harbour. The site has good gravel and grass pitches all with hook-up & water, and face a lake.

Disliked: The toilet/shower facilities desperately need an upgrade - showers far too hot (& then suddenly cold) and little more than a dribble.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Site facilities very good, clean and well kept.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (lake view)

Liked: It is a great scenic location with a lake and beach just a few yards away Grounds are well maintained and pitches are nicely spaced out.

Disliked: I forgot my electric cable and the park has no spares but this is not their fault. Luckily I also had gas and solar so it did not spoil my stay.

Could be a nice village centre site if it wasn't for the toilet block.

Philip W. Sept 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Convenient for beach and the village that has a few pubs small coop and Tesco ,take aways food, although if you like to eat out there isn't much choice, mains water on all pitches but not gray waste water .

Disliked: Toilet block are very tired and extremely small cubicles, motorhome emptying out gray water onto pitches before leaving, (not very considerate to the next person using that pitch) , signage not visible when approaching entrance can easily be missed.

Local attractions

Created in the 1960s, Beth Chatto's Plants & Gardens (15 minutes’ drive) is based on a simple but oft-ignored principle: right plant, right place. One of the highlights here is the Gravel Garden, famously never watered and home to drought-tolerant plants and shrubs. In contrast, the Water Garden spreads around a series of ponds and is dotted with colourful flowers. Reward your offspring for following you patiently around the gardens with a trip to Hasty’s Adventure Farm (20 minutes). In addition to a giant sandpit for younger children, there are oversized Lego constructions, an adventure course and grass slides. Not forgetting resident animals like Pipsqueak the pygmy goat and Mac the alpaca… Built in the 11th century over the ruins of an ancient Roman temple, the Norman Colchester Castle (half an hour) now houses a modern museum displaying items unearthed locally, such as the Fenwick Hoard, a collection of delicate jewellery and coins, and a vase decorated with images of fighting gladiators.
