Peace Place Pilgrim Bivouac

Gostou Owners were friendly enough. Help you out if they can. The location is close to the beach and a convenience store up the road.

Não gostou Moment I arrived (around 1pm) till around half 8 at night all I could hear was awful loud music coming from another camper close by. It went on for hours and ruined the first day. Could see other campers weren't happy but owners said nothing about it. This place is billed as peaceful and quiet but I received nothing of the sort during first day.

Gostou This was actually an electric camper van pitch called Hector in an amazing organic smallholding. I was next to a shedding eucalyptus tree in an area of stunning biodiversity on the Dengie Peninsula. The chickens roam free and of course they crow in the morning which I loved. Elizabeth and Ted are great hosts who have kindly offered the opportunity to share their amazing space. I suspect the place will get mixed reviews depending on people’s expectations. It is indeed back to basics and that is much to its credit. It is quirky and individual and welcoming. The passages between the pitches were even hand cut with a scythe. I sincerely thank my hosts for the opportunity to stay and would have been happy to pay more. My phone signal was strong and I had uninterrupted wifi. The ground was uneven but that was not a problem to me.

Não gostou I have my own facilities (including shower, toilet and hot water) onboard and therefor was not dependent on the compost lavatory. There was some noise escape from the neighbouring site (which is beyond the control of the hosts and I do not say a a criticism of this site). I would have preferred a larger pitch but recognise the sizing allows more people to share the experience. My view was interrupted by a fixed tent but I am grappling here to find criticism as the experience as a whole was wonderful.

Do gerente: thank you very much indeed. for those thoughts. Hector pitch has been extended taking into account your experience. The hot shower unit is now up and running, and we will look forward to seeing you again.

Gostou A fab spot, calm and quiet, where you can get back to nature but where you feel safe and supported.

Não gostou Cockerels crowing early! They added to the ambience though!

Do gerente: so glad to hear that you felt safe and secure ... by the way , our shower is now fully operational and there for you next time.. and our fire festival takes place on January 6th; twelve fires in a very big circle around the paddock where you camped.


let us know if you would like more info

Gostou Quirky vibe! It is peaceful indeed and purposefully basic , fresh water and compost loo all ok but hadn’t realised there was a hot water urn too!
Each pitch is individual and uniquely placed with care , it’s a small holding so there are chickens and a a cock- so be ready for that!
Also fascinated to see the site also used as a classic Citroen place of rest! Definitely my kind of place

Não gostou Nothing- walk to the pub took 20 mins!

Gostou Very peaceful. Large pitch with electric hook up. Friendly owners. Hot water urn made cups of tea easy. Handy (and tasty) fish and chips shop directly next door. We took a lovely circular walk (as recommended by Elizabeth) to the beach and along the coast to St Peter's Church (which was open) and then back to the campsite.

Não gostou We knew there were no showers when we booked but there are some in progress, likely ready sometimes in August. We also knew there was a compost loo. It was ok but a shallow drop. Improvements likely there too.

Do gerente: thank you for your helpful feedback. Alterations to the compost loo were completed yesterday. although the outer appearance is the same the 'plumbing' is now much improved.
