Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Love the pitchup site and clean toilet block with shower, lovely farm land fields surrounding the campsite!

Disliked: On this occasion as i have been a few times before, noisy dogs barking after midnight, and people talking loud in the early hours, it is usually quite!

Wendy B. Sept 2024

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nice quiet adults only site. Fairly large field, Situated behind the Star pub. The pitches are mainly grass with a few hard standing ones, fairly level, & there is a small toilet & shower block , nice clean & warm facilities. Pub food is good & staff were friendly. Fields/footpath behind the site were good for dog walks although a little overgrown. Would definitely stay here again

Paula B. Sept 2024

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Fabulous quite setting. Well set out level pitches with beautiful views and lovely seating area . Toilet/shower block was amazing, extremely clean. The washing up area had a large sink and cleaning equipment to use. The Star Inn was inviting and friendly. Food was good and reasonably priced. Again very clean and the decor was modern with a nod to the history of The Star. Outside pergola seating area was very tastefully done. We have 3 dogs and they were very accommodating and welcoming so we were able to relax with our fur babies. Great dog walk across the feilds to the sea basin. We will definitely return 🥰

Disliked: No dislikes. As someone else mentioned in another comment maybe a hook on the outside of the shower door so clothes don't get wet or even a bench/rack by sinks.

Local attractions

The area of tidal mudflats between the estuaries of the Blackwater and Crouch is home to Dengie National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive). Birdwatchers flock to this Site of Special Scientific Interest to spot dunlins, oystercatchers and curlews, plus wintering populations of Brent geese. Established in 1916, the Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome (20 minutes) played a key defensive role during World War I. Today, it still has several original buildings from that tumultuous time, as well as a collection of WWI aircraft and a lively programme of reenactments. If history is your thing, it's likely you'll also appreciate Mangapps Railway & Museum (10 minutes) and St Peters Chapel (15 minutes), the oldest church in England. For a day surrounded by plants and blossoms, head to RHS Garden Hyde Hall (20 minutes), where themed areas present vegetation from different parts of the world, including Australasia. There's also an interesting Dry Garden planted with drought-tolerant plants and a bird hide overlooking a reservoir inhabited by herons and cormorants. Enrol in a tour or tasting at Crouch Ridge Vineyard (10 minutes) or the New Hall Wine Estate (15 minutes, and on cellar door days) too.
