Mersea Island Holiday Park

Syntes om Camping area has an amazing view, was peaceful, had toilets, water station, showers and washing up area (all inside) right next to the pitches and multiple to chose from. We’re always cleaned and toilet paper kept well stocked. Swimming pool was warm and only a handful of people at a time in there which was lovely!

Syntes ikke om Lots and lots of thorns in the grass area outside the tents, caught the kids a few times but hey that’s nature but definitely something to be mindful of!

Syntes om We camped for 4 nights which was really nice, even though there isn't much to do we made the most of everything. The swimming pool was great, popped to clubhouse for hour in the evenings, had some lovely walks etc, the facilities were fine nothing bad at all. Would go back again but maybe for a shorter time.

Syntes om Pros-
So beautiful
There's a beach.
There's a indoor pool (cold tho)
Showers
Washing up
Drinking water
A park
There's a country park next door with another awesome park!
There is a shop on site.
Outdoor cinema -Tuesdays and Saturday/Sunday in summer holidays
Cheap

Syntes ikke om Cons-
Very windy
Entertainment area is tiny and only on at weekends.
Ground is hard and crumbly so bring decent pegs.
There is a restaurant but only serves food at the weekends.
Swimming has to be rebooked and no lifeguard.
If the tide is in you can't get on and off the island so you have to check 'the strood' and tide times. It's 1.5hour each side of high tide roughly is safe.
There no super market on the island just small express shops.
Only non electric pitches

Syntes om Beautiful views of the sea, and nice site with all the facilities we needed. The singer on the Saturday evening was a highlight. The food truck had a good selection of food and the milkshakes, cocktail and mocktails were delicious.

Kids loved the pool, which is small but not too crowded as you have to book a 1 hour slot to go in. Nice water temperature and liked the deckchairs around the side too.

The shop is small but well stocked and the staff are helpful and friendly.

Syntes ikke om Random policy for pitches which said we could only have one tent - we only have 3 small tents rather than one big one, all still fit within our pitch boundary. It seems crazy that some people can have a massive 10 man tent but three small tents aren't allowed.

WiFi was free but very poor signal, and mobile phone reception fairly non-existent. Good for tech free time but bad for co-ordinating with the friends who had also booked a pitch.

The grass where tents are pitched is full of thistles which was not so comfortable for those who were sleeping on roll mats rather than raised camp beds.

Syntes om Staff very friendly and helpful, really welcoming.
Club house, shop and pool were small but well stocked, clean and well organised.
A great place for a little holiday.

Syntes ikke om The fact they stated at booking that we could not put up more than one tent and then when we asked in person they agreed we could. Our tents are very small and take up way less space than most big ones.

Syntes om The camping site location, the holiday place, the bar and restaurant, Mersea Island in general. Big wide spaces for camping and guest reception very friendly.

Syntes ikke om The toilet and shower block, one set was out of order, at potentially the most needed. The women's in particular - too small to have a whole camping site use only one set. Children tend to go in women's so the state was a disaster at times. Agree emergency can happen, but it did make me wonder whether we should return. I think this wasn't good enough.
