About Colchester Country Park

A quick hop, or two minute cab ride (if you'd rather not drive) from all the attractions of a Roman town, this park has plenty to offer. The site offers plenty of open spaces and easy access from the handy A12 to its 145 pitches. Finalist in Practical Caravan's Top 100 2020, the park is also NCC approved and holds gold accreditation from the Caravan Storage Site Owners' Association. Enjoy the space of hardstanding pitches for tourers which are 11m x 6m, with room for an awning and fully serviced with all the connections you need. And if you're camping, you can relax on grass pitches with plenty of optional electric. The park also includes luxury leisure lodges for sale, set in a secluded area and offering top notch facilities. Seasonal touring and storage are also available.

There is a large play park on site where kids can blow off steam or create a host of imaginary characters and chase them about the countryside. Take the kids out on off-site foot paths, four legged friend in one hand, and explore the incredible Essex countryside.

Colchester Castle is an unmissable sight, dating back to the 11th century and full of spooky interiors, majestic halls and fascinating battle stories. For sensational animal encounters, ranging from the exotic to the down right cute, you'll find it all at Colchester Zoo.

It's not hard to see the marks of Romans here in this ancient area, you'll even find a stretch of their surviving wall and walk the edge of what was once the full extent of Camulodunum.

If you'd like nothing more than to feel the sun on your back and the sea breeze in your hair, make the short drive to Clacton on Sea. Sink down by the sea, play in the waves and take in as much ice cream as you can!
