Μου άρεσε We loved our pitch 27

Μου άρεσε Nice area spacious pitches. Close to shops, cafe and pubs. Nice area for walk

Δεν μου άρεσε Facilities need an upgrade. Ladies shower/loo block very tired. Tap tops missing shower settings back to front. Hot was cold and vice versa. We had stayed earlier this year and the block hadn’t improved

Μου άρεσε Nothing because we couldn't stay

Δεν μου άρεσε Couldn't make it due to family bereavement. Tried to contact owner day before to cancel. She said id had to contact putch up. Because I didnt have an account through pitch up i couldn't cancel it. I was fine about losing deposit but to lose the whole amount was a little unfair. This site would have been handy for us when visiting family in Brightlingsea but in future we will go elsewhere

Μου άρεσε As ever the location was lovely and the town itself has lots going on and plenty of places to eat and drink. We even timed it right as the fair was in town.
Arrived and realised on a pitch not suitable for our awning , the site staff couldn't have been better at addressing our issues and getting us swapped on to a suitable one. Really grateful for them.

Δεν μου άρεσε The showers are woeful they were last time too either freezing or boiling no in between and occasionally no water pressure but they were clean so didn't ruin our enjoyment.

Μου άρεσε Location

Δεν μου άρεσε Showers are useless. Just a dribble of cold water on both days of our visit, s as me in both male and female showers.

Μου άρεσε The pitches are half gravel half grass so that the cars and caravans stand on gravel and do not damage the grass.

Δεν μου άρεσε - The pitches are not separated by hedges and the caravans and camper-cars stand very close together.
- There is absolutely no space for children to play.
- The worst however are the dirty toilets and showers. Some toilets were closed “out of order”, one of 4 wash basins was out of order, the second hat only very hot water, too hot to wash hands, in the third the cold water ran continuously and in the fourth the water had very low pressure.
Trying to take a shower: In the first cabin I got only cold water with very low pressure. In the second the same, but after waiting some minutes with running water it became warm for half a minute and then cold again and with very low pressure. No place to put your shower gel. When I had waited so long for warm water I noticed that the drain was blocked and my feet were standing in water.
I think that the showers and toilets are an offense to the guests paying 50 pounds per night. The value for money ist really bad here. I booked the most expensive camping site and got the worst.

Μου άρεσε Had a great weekend in Brightlingsea, which is very charming. We camped old-school style at this campsite, parked car on the gravel next to the adjoining grass part. Staff were friendly, helped us work out our spot as we did not receive an email notification.

Δεν μου άρεσε Being put in pitch 44, sleeping in a tent right opposite the toilet and facilities block. We could hear people walk past on the gravel all night long, the sound of the door code being entered and subsequent door slam. Relentless. There was also a lot of light pollution from said block, spoiling the evening ambience somewhat.

This was our first time camping on a touring pitch, really wanted to spend a weekend in Brighlingsea and there was availability at shorter notice. Had we been put in a pitch further along, this would have been better for us staying in an actual tent. Someone arriving in a camper van might love this spot!

Having said all of this, we made the best of our mini weekend.
