What customers say

Spotlessly clean, adult-only campground with roomy, often serviced sites. New restrooms are immaculate. The Star Inn pub is a hit for great food, friendly service, and live music. Peaceful and perfect for unwinding. Many guests return!

Julie D.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We enjoyed our stay, check in easy. Staff were lovely and helpful. Food and drink were fair prices.
Shower / toilet block was very clean and well maintained. Lots of space in between pitches. Really enjoyed our stay. Bus stop outside but buses only run every 2 hours.

Disliked Not much in walking distance ( nothing to do with the site it’s self )

Recommend to friends Visit again

Sunday roast at the pub looked good but you have to book.

Clare G.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Clean site with lots of open space. New toilet block.
WiFi was good.

Disliked Entry is through a gate with combination lock. Means you have to get out, secure the gate open, drive through and get out again to close gate.
Website says pub open 7 days a week but isn’t open Sunday evenings.

Rob G.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good sized pitch overlooking a harvested arable field. Compared to other sites I looked at for the same dates, the Star Inn was great value for the facilities offered.
Modern amenities inc showers. This site would be a great base for a few days spend visiting the area. A nice touch was the suggested walking route from the site which takes in the nearby Blackwater Estuary and views of Osea Island. There's free WiFi but I didn't need it as I had great phone signal in the area.

Disliked I didn't know the pub wasn't serving any food until I checked in. Wasn't a big deal as I had brought my own food, but combined with the absence of any shops in Steeple itself means it's best to come prepared.
Didn't ask, but would be useful to be able to purchase essentials or soft drinks/snacks to save having to ride somewhere else.

Local attractions

The area of tidal mudflats between the estuaries of the Blackwater and Crouch is home to Dengie National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive). Birdwatchers flock to this Site of Special Scientific Interest to spot dunlins, oystercatchers and curlews, plus wintering populations of Brent geese. Established in 1916, the Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome (20 minutes) played a key defensive role during World War I. Today, it still has several original buildings from that tumultuous time, as well as a collection of WWI aircraft and a lively programme of reenactments. If history is your thing, it's likely you'll also appreciate Mangapps Railway & Museum (10 minutes) and St Peters Chapel (15 minutes), the oldest church in England. For a day surrounded by plants and blossoms, head to RHS Garden Hyde Hall (20 minutes), where themed areas present vegetation from different parts of the world, including Australasia. There's also an interesting Dry Garden planted with drought-tolerant plants and a bird hide overlooking a reservoir inhabited by herons and cormorants. Enrol in a tour or tasting at Crouch Ridge Vineyard (10 minutes) or the New Hall Wine Estate (15 minutes, and on cellar door days) too.
