Guests can choose from grass pitches, hardstanding pitches with electric hook-up and fully serviced pitches, while seasonal touring pitches are also available for those who would like to make Colchester Country Park their regular home from home.

For a change of scenery, visitors can head towards the coast and spend the day exploring Mersea Island, or travel into Dedham Vale and Constable Country for picturesque villages, riverside walks and some of the most beautiful countryside in the region.
Whether you are visiting for a weekend city break, a family camping holiday, a peaceful touring stay or returning throughout the season, Colchester Country Park provides a welcoming and convenient base from which to discover the very best of Essex and Suffolk.
