Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Good location for a walk into Colchester, or a bus ride if you prefer. The toilet and shower facilities were clean and functional and not too far asay from most pitches. The site is secure. The hardstanding pitches were a good size. There is a park just 5 minutes away for dog exercising. The dog walk on site is fine for the dog's functional needs but does not really offer much of walk for exercise. We chose to walk into Colchester using the footpath and track in Spring Lane, Lexden, and it was very pleasant 45 minute walk into Colchester centre. We caught the bus back which appears to run quite frequently.
Disliked: You get noise from the A12 traffic which could be a bit annoying but it didn't worry us too much. Also, if you walk to Lexden you have to cross a fairly busy road. No WiFi.

Liked: Site was very nice with good facilities
