 This is a very big, secure site! The staff are helpful and pitches were a good size. £22 per night for hardstanding and electricity.
There is constant 24 hour road noise from the (very) nearby A12 but since it is constant it really becomes just a background drone which you will soon become used to.
A half mile walk through the adjacent park gets you to Lexden church from which there is a very frequent bus service (numbers 65 and 70) taking about 10 minutes to the town centre which, with its Castle and shopping is an attractive day out.
Walking this route will be on a main road and take about 40 minutes. The three facilities blocks are small (three urinals, three hand basins, three showers in each) and will not cope in Summer if all the pitches are in use.
That being said, we enjoyed our stay in February and can recommend this site to others.

After booking in at the very smart reception and entering through the security barrier, we were quite surprised by the clean and well kept site which looked almost picturesque in the afternoon sun.
3 good toilet blocks with well cut grass and lots of facilities including a caravan wash area and an information hut are good ideas, along with a leaflet that gives info (and a map) on nearby supermarkets, shops, doctors, etc.
A small downside was being next to the busy A12, but we didn't find it a problem at all, and I don't think other campers did either, judging by how busy the site was during our bank holiday weekend.
All in all, I think pricing is reasonable for the site and facilities as I've paid almost as much for a LOT! less, so I would say that a return visit sometime is very likely.

I read several reviews mentioning the road being noisy but have to disagree, although it's audible it wouldn't be a problem to anyone.
The site is very well kept, the grass pitches were nice and green and all of the staff are friendly and helpful, this seems to emanate through the site as most of the people staying on the site were also especially friendly and helpful too.
There are several shower blocks, the showers are compact inside though but plenty of hot water.
Reception has a few useful essentials albeit a bit pricey (sorry guys, I have to mention the £4 for a large kitchen roll)
Great location, a fivers cab ride from the site to the town and just up the road are some takeaways (they delivered to reception via JustEat) and an Aldi supermarket.
Buses into town not too far away either.
Mersea and Clacton both about half hour away.
All in a good weekend and would definitely return.

A well organised, clean and friendly site. Toilet block immaculate and warm, powerful showers.
Around 2 mile walk into Colchester down cycleway/footpath.
In the opposite direction there is an Aldi 0. 5 miles and a large retail park including Sainsbury about a mile from the site. The site is just off the A12 which means there is some road noise.
A very good base for visiting Colchester and the surrounding area.
There is a dog walk on site and there are public footpaths through fields just the other side of the roundabout.

Four nights on this site and we had no show stopping problems. If you don't like road noise this site is not for you, A12 runs right past the site and is noisy 24/7. Didn't stop us sleeping, but some would HATE it.
We were told we could get WIFI near to Reception and log on details are provided. We tried two days running, IPAD refused to see the network at all, phone could see it but no signal. 3G was fortunately good in the whole site.
It was quiet when we visited but if it was anywhere near full I can't see 8 showers coping. All facilities were well maintained and clean but just a little tired. Usual push button showers, excellent hot water.
All the staff were friendly, helpful and pleasant.
The grassed are, with low occupancy, felt like a well maintained urban park, but there are a lot of pitches and they are close together.
Amazingly these days this site does NOT recycle, I thought you had to, obviously wrong.

Staff are very friendly and helpful, you feel at home straight away.
Very clean and well presented with a great little play area for the kids.
Good clean shower and toilet facilities all within easy reach of pitches.
Have already booked two more weekends and also looking at getting a seasonal pitch here

We stopped going to this park 4 years ago because of the poor condition of the toilets and showers. Noticed that it was under New Ownership and after checking reviews decided we would give it another try.
Booked for a couple days in May and were pleasantly surprised, firstly by the friendliness of the new staff and secondly the vast improvement to the toilet block.
Mentioned to the receptionist that the disabled shower could do with a squeegee to clean the floor after a shower and within a short time one appeared in there (Thank you).
We will certainly be going back there now when we visit our daughter in Essex. Would recommend that previous campers give it another try also.

Just returned from a few days at this lovely site.
Staff were so welcoming and friendly, suggested we chose a pitch by the play area so we could see the children play and directed us to nearest shops (2mins away is a supermarket).
The site was spotless, showers hot and clean they even have an allocated caravan wash with a tower so you can clean the caravan roof properly! Very impressed.
We visited Colechester zoo which is also minutes away and was a fabulous day out, there were plenty of restaurants nearby and we went to the local cinema, handy to have if weather is wet.
Will definitely be visiting again very soon! Thank you.

Return visit to this site as have relations living in town. On our last visit 4 years ago we were not overly impressed and have stayed a bit further away and travelled in.
Needed to be closer and gave it another try. The toilets had been spruced up and were cleaned twice a day which was great. Plenty of hot water and heating in also. There is a small play area for children which looked fun. The site was well maintained and the staff helpful. It is an hour's walk into town which was fine. Although buses run regularly past the site. Nice green space opposite for walking the dog although there is a dog walk on site.

We visited Colchester holiday park twice in 2015, liked it so we came back this year 2016, , , wow its all changed for the better, Colchester holiday park is now owned and managed by the sellers family who also own thriftwood holiday park in kent, with many years experience in holiday parks the sellers have worked hard to improve Colchester holiday park, with first class facilities with a lovely play park and plenty of space between vans, good hot showers always clean and warm, washing up sinks, 2 laundry rooms with ironing boards, lots of grass for picnics, golf course round the corner, beach 20mins away, 10 minuets walk in to Colchester shopping, 2 large storage compounds with 24 hour security at a good price, all in all Colchester holiday park has raised its game and is now a top touring park well worth a visit.
