Liked: Lovely adult onlu quiet site, with a lovely pub onsite with friendly staff. They had a band playing, with bbq which was cooked lovely and at reasonable prices too! Lovely clean onsite showers and toilets, hotel like!

Disliked: No dog poo bins that I could see and this is our 2nd visit. Only bins onsite are outside the entrance to the campsite gates. Unfortunately we found a few dog poos around our pitch, so I feel this may help with this, although maybe it was a lazy dog owner more than the lack of bins! Not a complaint just an added bonus, if a poo bin or two

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Secure site with a locked gate. Check in was easy - at the pub bar. We were given written instructions with lots of information. Flat and even pitches. We didn't use the on site facilities so can't comment but someone was cleaning the toilets area as we arrived so presumably they were lovely and clean!

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.
