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.

Ronald A.

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.

Powered grass campsite

Liked I spent 2 nights here , it was a nice small site ,with a lovely coffee shop by day and wine bar by night . The staff where very friendly,and toilets and showers where clean .on the Saturday morning there was no toilet roll in any of the toilets but I told the warden and this was instantly rectified and the rest of my stay there was always toilet roll there. The showers where nice and hot and very clean however there isn't a stall in the cubicle this would be a good idea to add as it would make changing easier after your shower but other then these view points I would definitely come again.
It is a gated site so very safe and secure .

Liked On arrival we entered via the secured entrance, we were shown our pitch which was clean and level! After hookup and set up the site is quiet and respectful, on site coffee shop is great, staff are very welcoming and friendly! Facilities are great including washing up facilities, chemical toilet disposal, showers and toilets, all nice and clean; if we were to be picky, these are due some upgrade and modernisation, however were well lit at night, but not to the detriment of those staying! Overall great stay and would most certainly return!

Local attractions

Here for a longer stay? Pull on the hiking boots to ramble the heathland in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour’s drive), or walk along the River Stour to the famous riverside cottage featured in Constable’s ‘The Hay Wain’ in Flatford and Constable Country (20 minutes). Raise your activity levels by challenging each other to kayak races at Alton Water Sports Centre (25 minutes). Turn your attention to the coastline and stroll the sandy expanse at Wrabness Foreshore (10 minutes) to the green-tiled House for Essex, a beachside folly designed by Grayson Perry. Play the amusement arcades on the Victorian pier at Clacton-on-Sea (25 minutes), and if the weather’s showing promise, have a laze on the sand at Walton-on-the-Naze (20 minutes). And you’ve got many options for rainy days too. Get under cover to see railway memorabilia in the former Victorian station at the East Anglian Railway Museum (half an hour), or tour the interactive history exhibits at Colchester Castle (25 minutes).
