 Lovely camp. Clean facilities. Good size pitches.

Lovely lake to walk around.

Met someone from the lodges who was very friendly and happy to chat.

Met nice people on the camp too including the adjacent touring camp, attracts friendly people.

We have booked a return stay it was so nice.

 First time staying at this excellent site.

Stopped at the shop many times but never knew such a great site existed behind the shop.

We stayed on a pitch overlooking the lake and it was so peaceful and tranquil. The only (minor) issue was because there were so many geese roaming around, there was a lot of geese mess, but spoilt nothing of our enjoyment once I had cleaned our pitch area.

We had a fully service pitch, and it was the first time I had experienced a "Chemical waste" point next to van along side grey waste and water out. But very clean and a great extra.

Toilets and shower spotless spotless and enough to suffice.

The shop at front does have about everything you could possible want for caravans and I could have spent hours just wandering round.

The café, which is advertised is just a little misleading as this is more to serve the shop etc. Than the site as it is not actually on site, but adjacent to shop, hence opening hours (Which are clear when booking) are to suit the shop, again not the site.

Also, reception is also "not on site" but at the front, as part of the shop, so you have to park your van and then walk back to reception to check in.

Not a major issue, but there is an office area next to the site barriers so I would have expected the reception to be there as well.

There is a "Late Check Out" for which there is a £10 charge which I found a little steep as the last 2 sites we have been to simply asked for a donation to charity.

Reviewer: Cj camper 1 review from this member

 This was our first trip out in our van, we decided to go here as was only 30 mins drive. Also that it had a large camping shop for anything we may have forgotten.

The site is well looked after. And very quite. The walk around the site was great for the dog. We will be having another trip here.

Only negative is they say they all fully service pitches.

But there is one post between 3 pitches depends where you are, in the centre they looked closer.

We had 2 7m hoses, had to go buy a 3rd so it reached the tap.

 Lovely site in north east Essex which is extremely well kept.

They sell and service caravans and also have an excellent shop which sells everything you can need for camping / caravanning. There is also a cafe on site.

There's a lake that you can fish in and the site is very close to Clacton, Walton and Frinton.

Nothing for children to do on site and although it's not technically an adults only site, I've never seen children there.

Reviewer: Kctu 1 review from this member

 Lovely site one of our favourites but no toilets or showers open which is very disappointing considering that I need the disabled toilet facility. Feel discriminated against.

A reduction in price would have been a nice touch.

Reviewer: Johnscrivy 10 reviews from this member

 A very nice neat and tidy site £25 a night but because of covid no toilets, great site for fishing. Average size pitch but fully serviced.

Breakfast in the Cafe was very good. The site also has a very handy caravan / motorhome campers shop next door.

Its a great location for local touring.

Will I be back "YES"

 Spent two days there. A nice well kept site. Shame it had no facilities open. We were charged full price, other sites have managed to sort out showers and toilet to use

Reviewer: Marros 7 reviews from this member

 This is a gem of a campsite. Very friendly and helpful site staff and great facilities. That have a fantastic caravan and camping shop on site and also a caravan repair workshop.

The site itself is very peaceful, although it is not really far off the beaten track, easily accessible from the A12/A120.

Beautiful surroundings and of you're into fishing that have a large fishing lake within the boundary of the site which seems to be really popular.

We visited during the time of the COVID-19 restrictions and I have to say that could not have been better organised.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this great site.

 We enjoyed our stay here so much that 2 weeks later we are going back again. Our pitch was at the side of the site backing onto trees and grass, almost like woodland. Despite being the 6 weeks holiday and busy it was also quiet, it's not the type of site to attract those who enjoy a rowdy lifestyle. There is nothing on site for children other than grass and ball games are not encouraged and certainly not around the pitches. The fishing lake is beautiful with garden benches for those who just want to sit and take in the atmosphere and if you do decide to go here take a walk along the lake, over the bridge and up past the lodges and over to the right you will come to the most wonderful field with a stream. The toilets and showers were always clean and warm and the showers have plenty of hooks and holders for clothes, shower gel and shampoo and a fold down stool. There is a dish washing room with two sinks but no launderette. All pitches have both hard standing and grass and your own grey water and elsan disposal, you will need a long hose if you don't want to keep filling the aquaroll. Every where is so clean and tidy. We had breakfast in the café one morning, the food was acceptable and the service friendly, you can also take your dog into the first part of the cafe. There is also an excellent spares shop and caravan servicing. The only criticism that I have is that you do get quite a bit of distant road noise but after a couple of days we were used to it and no longer noticed it. There isn't really anywhere to go off site other than the Black Boy pub which is overrated and over priced and not dog friendly. Everywhere else is a car ride or bus ride away.
