 Fen Farm was great. We really enjoyed the site and the beach which is not even 5 minute walk through the site.
We were put right next to the park which I was a little worried about but the warden closes it at night and it wasn’t a noise problem at all.
We will definitely be back again

Once again Fen Farm did not disappoint.
Pitches are great and spacious. Unlike some campsites there’s no white lined allocated squares and as long as you’re sensible you are able to spread out a bit.
The children made friends and didn't really want to be dragged away from the park to visit Colchester Zoo!
Maybe an investment to upgrade and expand the children’s play area might be an idea as it’s been that size since our first visit in 2015.
The site next door has a small shop, most essentials can be purchased apart from alcohol which is only for site owners of that place.
Perhaps Fen Farm could approach them to agree some way of purchasing alcohol even if it was by way of email with the proof of your booking? Sometimes with a MH with no bike or car there is occasion that we may have forgotten something.
Toilets and Showers are kept very clean as is surrounding areas. Wardens on site are friendly as are staff in reception and all will help with whatever you need.
The Outdoor dog shower is an essential especially when they’ve been in beach and in sea.
There is a pub serving food a very short walk away and sometimes they do have a food truck approach the camp but this is mainly a site for ensuring you have enough food and and amenities with you.
Be prepared at Fen Farm for the wind it changes direction in the course of the day and being right on the coast can feel a bit cooler and you will need strong tent pegs due to the hard ground.
The only thing that that wasn’t very nice this weekend is toilets not being flushed by campers and dogs poo not being picked up.
Our granddaughters bike got covered in dog poo as she rode around the site. Having a dog ourselves we are very conscious of watching our dogs movements especially when she’s on a tether attached to MH. This is the first time at Fen Farm we’ve ever had an issue with this and they do provide many dog poo bins around the site.
So please all dog owners and toilet users wherever you stay,
Clear up after your dogs poo and humans please flush the loo!
Have given Fen Farm all 10’s it never fails to disappoint whatever the weather.
We are regulars having found it by chance 8 years ago and will return several times this year with and without the family.
Thank you FF for a lovely Easter break.

We enjoyed our stay at Fen Farm, it is ideally situated on East Mersea island. The facilities are in need of updating.
A shop that sells essentials would have been helpful as the nearest is several miles away.

Absolutely beautiful site with great access to the beach.
All the staff were excellent and the pitch we were given was perfect, we have small children and the warden had pre-selected a pitch right by the play area, near the toilets.
Little things like that make all the difference.
The local pub serves great food and has a welcoming atmosphere.
The natural park adjacent to the site is also great for children with brilliant parks.
If I had to criticise one thing, it would simply be the showers were too hot for the children, but that’s it!

We had a lovely visit to this campsite.
The staff are all friendly and the facilities were clean and comfortable.
We loved the location close to the beach.
We found the site nice and quiet with lots of families.
The site was dog friendly but all dogs were well behaved and it is very clean.
We hope to return one day.

Lovely and clean site, safe for the children.
Ll the facilities within short walking distance.
Would be great if they had a shop with fresh fruit/veg but this was not that relevant.
Would go again.

What a gem of a campsite! It has such a chilled vibe but so family friendly.
I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough to do for the children (10 and 8) but they really enjoyed making friends and playing in the play park; riding their bikes and playing hide and seek in the wooded area; going to the beach area and paddling in the water.
The playing field was huge too. The wardens were very friendly and the facilities were always very clean.
The addition of food trucks most evenings and the traditional ice cream van coming round was a lovely touch.
We enjoyed visiting the nearby Mersea Boating Lake to have a go on the inflatable park; and visited a lovely tea room close by.
We feel that there is more to discover in and around the local area and will definitely be visiting Fen Farm again.

Fabulous welcome for our late arrival. Very informative of best position to park for best sun position.
Wardens always seen during day and say hello 👋 to everyone and have a little chat.
Facilities are fab always clean and tidy.
Love the fact that wardens go around at night to check on campers, making sure all in order.
Can’t wait for our next visit. 🥰
