What customers say
A tidy spot with helpful staff. Reviewers liked the clean facilities, good pitches, and easy access to Colchester. Road noise from the A12 was mentioned but often not an issue. Great value, many would return.

Disliked Leaving

A great site with clean facilities and well maintained pitches.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked The site was welcoming with lovely flowers outside reception. The grass was nicely short and the pitch itself was good. Great events for kids and dj on the Sunday evening, all outside in lovely weather.
Disliked Not a full dislike at all, but the showers cubicles were a little small and could do with more places to put your things. But the water was the right temperature and the block itself was kept clean. I did like the individual sink cubicles too.

Disliked Road noise

From the manager: Thank you Karen for your review :) we are happy you enjoyed your stay. If you are ever this way again give us a call as we have pitches further away from the road.
Easy to access places like Ipswich and Clacton. Well kept site.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Very convenient location
Disliked Pitch spacing was a little ambiguous and we ended up with neighbours a little too close for comfort. Facilities were functional and okay but could do with an update. Road noise is constant, if you're looking for a quiet spot to sit outside maybe think twice.
No WiFi

Road noise, facilities clean/basic, level pitches, friendly staff
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked The site was very clean and the staff very friendly.
There are 2-3 basic toilet/shower blocks but we only used 2 of them. Loved that one block had temperature control showers, which didn't turn themselves off. These were ideal for my 7yr Granddaughter who doesn't like hot showers.
Good sized play park, which GD enjoyed.
Disliked This site is located next to a busy main road, so if you want a quiet stay listening to birds singing this isn't the site for you.
The shower cubicles are very small, so there's no room for a seat etc. I had to send my Granddaughter in first to go behind the door and then I could step in.
