Liked: We arrived in the dark after the ferry had been delayed but we were meet at the gate and shown to a longer pitch than normal meaning we did not have to unhitch. Lovely newt and tidy site we clean toilets and hot showers. Only stayed one night but would recommend.

Liked: Secure site, all electric pitches, so no choosing or paying extra, friendly welcome & great area. Evening curfew adhered to (morning not so much with kids screaming & dogs barking at 6am)

Disliked: The toilets / showers & washing up areas were very shabby & needed upgrading. No accessible facilities so couldn’t bring disabled guest, this should be available even with a radar key system.

A great stop over for pre/post ferry travel. Electric gated site.

Judith S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass site

Liked: A lovely well kept site with all electric pitches. A short walk opposite down small lane to the river bank ideal for dog walkers. Many of the campers were people just off or due to sail on ferries at Harwich. A great stop over. Or to spend a week. Host was very friendly. Pub on site. Good facilities. Showers and toilets were well kept. And washing up area. And a couple of fresh water taps. And an area for toilet water disposal. A nice town down the road. The site is visited by a local pizza van a few times a week. An electric gated site.

Disliked: I was put under an oak tree. Not ideal for someone in a tent with acorns and small twigs falling. Asked to move but he was resultant to give me another pitch. Could if done with a freeze to freeze ice blocks. But enjoyed my stay. WiFi not included.

Local attractions

Here for a longer stay? Pull on the hiking boots to ramble the heathland in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour’s drive), or walk along the River Stour to the famous riverside cottage featured in Constable’s ‘The Hay Wain’ in Flatford and Constable Country (20 minutes). Raise your activity levels by challenging each other to kayak races at Alton Water Sports Centre (25 minutes). Turn your attention to the coastline and stroll the sandy expanse at Wrabness Foreshore (10 minutes) to the green-tiled House for Essex, a beachside folly designed by Grayson Perry. Play the amusement arcades on the Victorian pier at Clacton-on-Sea (25 minutes), and if the weather’s showing promise, have a laze on the sand at Walton-on-the-Naze (20 minutes). And you’ve got many options for rainy days too. Get under cover to see railway memorabilia in the former Victorian station at the East Anglian Railway Museum (half an hour), or tour the interactive history exhibits at Colchester Castle (25 minutes).
