Great location near beach, town & lake views. Spacious, neat pitches, many with water/elec. Friendly staff, clean but dated facilities. Peaceful, but some road/event noise. Security noted as open access.

Zena M.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Location very good, pitches very spacious facility clean and good.

Disliked When we arrived, didn’t know what to do? Warden wasn’t there, called number on board very unhelpful, made first impression bad. This no is the best to use if you want help (01623-824594)

I feel your site would be improved if you let people book on line, turn up and choose an empty pitch of their choice, rather than allocate their pitch, as everyone have different needs and like different locations. It would also create less work and be less stressful.

Callum L.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Facilities were very good kept clean and well maintaied nice distance between pitches and were able to accommodate my request of being near friends staying at the site nice restaurants and pubs in 5 minutes walking distance

Disliked Our pitch was right next to a cut through to the field that leads into town and there was a lot of noise from people walking past even a motorbike and one point. Looks like the fence had been pulled back to make this walkway

Recommend to friends Visit again

We would definitely stay there again

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Big level pitches, tidy grass, excellent location, clean wash room, laundry & dish room close by, lovely view, fair price. Booking & confirmation phone call day before arrival all easy &reassuring.

Disliked Slight shortage of warm shower water, it ran out on hot setting but fine on mid setting. Not much to dislike to be honest !
Did not see the warden for a hello but not a biggy to worry about.

Local attractions

Created in the 1960s, Beth Chatto's Plants & Gardens (15 minutes’ drive) is based on a simple but oft-ignored principle: right plant, right place. One of the highlights here is the Gravel Garden, famously never watered and home to drought-tolerant plants and shrubs. In contrast, the Water Garden spreads around a series of ponds and is dotted with colourful flowers. Reward your offspring for following you patiently around the gardens with a trip to Hasty’s Adventure Farm (20 minutes). In addition to a giant sandpit for younger children, there are oversized Lego constructions, an adventure course and grass slides. Not forgetting resident animals like Pipsqueak the pygmy goat and Mac the alpaca… Built in the 11th century over the ruins of an ancient Roman temple, the Norman Colchester Castle (half an hour) now houses a modern museum displaying items unearthed locally, such as the Fenwick Hoard, a collection of delicate jewellery and coins, and a vase decorated with images of fighting gladiators.
