 Absolutely great site. Excellent welcome from the staff on our arrival.
Clean, well cared for, helpful staff. Luckily where we were situated, the shower block was open. Kept really clean.
Only 1 downfall, we had a hard stand but as we had an awning, it was quite stony under the carpet in the awning.
Would have preferred the caravan on hard and awning on grass. Apart from that little problem we will definitely be back.

Arrived to a well organised booking process on friday evening. Showed to our pitch and with useful information.
The place was so clean and bright and the toilets and shower facilities were superb.
The man I believed to be the owner was so friendly and made you feel so welcome and calling out for the ice cream man to visit was a brilliant evening treat. Thankyou

Good site location to visit Colchester but boy is it noisy. The road noise from traffic is really intrusive.
We were allocated a pitch ( no. 9) near the entrance which was not very scenic. Having the word 'country' in the name of the campsite is a bit misleading.
We stayed just as they opened after lockdown and they chose to have only one shower block open which was right at the other end of the site (why not choose the one in the middle?). The shower block is a little dated.
Staff were friendly.

The lady in reception gave us a friendly welcome and a choice of pitches.
Overall the site is very tidy, the grass is cut short to lawn standard with mature trees to give a bit of privacy and countryside camping feel.
EHU was included in the very reasonable price per night, great value.
The showers are spotless with plenty of hot water.
Town is a walkable distance away (about 2 miles).

Just returned from a 4 night stay at this site, the staff on reception stayed open late for us, due to bad traffic in the A12 which we really appreciated.
Secure site with large metal gates that were closed during the night as well as barrier further into the site.
The toilet blocks were clean and warm but dated, plenty of rubbish bins situated around the site.
There is road noise but as the noise is 24/7 we didn't notice it.
As for the surrounding area, we only visited Colchester and we went on out motorbike so can't comment on public transport. Colchester is a good day out with plenty to see and do.

Much has been mentioned of the road noise at this site, well there is but not so bad that it bothered us, anyway we opted for a pitch near the centre of the park away from the road.
The park is nicely landscaped and very pleasant, heard woodpeckers and Jays in the adjacent woodland. The site is very secure with heavy gates shut during the night and found the reception staff informative and friendly.
There is a pub up the road but never used it instead we walked across the park/small track to Lexden church and caught one of the frequent buses to Colchester, these buses run late so great for a night out.
The toilets/showers are a bit dated but clean and functional. Paid £22/night for a large hardstanding pitch with ehu.

We stay at this site quite often when visiting family in Colchester. Perfect position for us as it in right on the A12 but because of this a lot of campers remark on the road noise. In a caravan this was not a problem at all as we were out most of the day and it does quieten down in the evening.
Ideal site for visiting Colchester and surrounding areas by bus or car.
The site is very secure with large metal gates over night and also a barrier both of which are operated by a fob allocated by reception.
Plenty of showers and toilets on site which are cleaned regularly and grass kept short and tidy.
Only downside for us is the amount of seasonal "residents" that stay on site who tend to collect a lot of clutter around their caravans which make it look untidy.

Being camping virgins we did not know what to expect of the site. From the moment we arrived we could see that it was well maintained, secure and the facilities were very clean (Missus very happy!) Members of staff were really friendly and helpful. Site well placed for local public transport and local shops.
Our pitch complete with electric hook up was in a lovely spot, not too near anybody else and level, in the shelter of trees and hedges.
Our experience here has confirmed we made the right decision in buying a tent. We felt relaxed and quite at home.
One slight nuisance is the nearby road noise, but you soon get used to it and we were aware of this before arrival. It did not affect our enjoyable stay in any way.
No longer being camping virgins we are looking forward to many more camping trips, unfortunately Colchester Holiday Park have set the bar high for us!

Stayed here Easter weekend and if anyone can remember it didn't stop raining the whole week but obviously this is not the sites fault,
Very nice guy in reception who give us our pitch but turned out a week but water logged but with no problem at all was mover to another pitch,
As for the noise if you book a site adjacent to the a12 you can't really complain about road noise,
The site itself very clean and toilet/shower blocks very very ample as there was 3 of them(impressed) and cleaned regular we used the site as our first trip of the season to make sure van+awning was all good and no issues before our main holidays,
This is owned by the same people as Thriftwood holiday park in Kent.

Just returned from spending the Easter bank holiday a lovely clean site, very friendly staff nothing is to much trouble, 5 min drive to the pub for food and drink, very close to Colchester zoo and all amenities that Colchester has to offer.
Although the site is close to the A12 we did not here a lot of traffic noise once we had closed up for the night.
Would certainly return.
