What customers say
This well-kept, secure site is perfect for ferry travelers. Guests rave about friendly staff, peace, and spacious, level sites. Facilities are clean but some say dated; they could use an update. The on-site pub/cafe is popular but hours vary. Great for a stopover or exploring.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Will use again.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Clean and tidy and not too big. We had pitch no10. Furthest away from washroom and tucked away in the corner area but that made it quieter as no passing foot traffic. There is a village pub/coffee shop that you can access directly from the site. Limited opening hours but was open when we fancied a drink.
Disliked It’s a stopover spot for the Harwich to Hook ferry. So a lot of early leavers and late arrivals. Didn’t bother us as we were in the corner but I’d imagine it would be a bit frustrating if you had neighbours on the ferry.
A lot of reviews downgrade the wash rooms. I’d have to agree, they are very basic and really need an overhaul.

Overall a good site and I would book again.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Booking and information was good and was met when through the entry gate to be directed to the booked pitch.
Disliked The male showers could do with a bit of TLC but worked. (And was pleased that there was no timed water flow that is often found ion other sites). Although not intrinsic to the camping pitches I thought that the adjoining Strangers Bar lacked a choice of beers (keg or cask) so that was disapointing. I thought the bottled beer I chose was overpriced.
