Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesMay 2024

On arrival we was met by the owner who showed us to our pitch we had had a lot of rain and was was quite water logged, didn't stop us though the team at pretty thing were amazing though nothing was too much really warm welcome and a beautiful place. The park was great as it's close to the van so you can see the kids. Great vibe amazing hosts and great venue I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely be back again.

Very nice quiet campsite

Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring PitchesMar 2024

We were looking for a low effort easy to stay site and we definitely found the best. Really relaxed atmosphere and with Phil as the host, low stress. He was so helpful, especially when we realised that our gas cannister had run down and we had no idea where to buy a refill, nor the tools to disconnect the gas holder. Definitely to be recommended and we will be returning one day soon!

Lovely quiet place to stay

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesOct 2023

Lovely place to stay. Owner was very welcoming when we arrived. The site itself had well kept facilities and really clean. And the grounds are very well kept too. Nice and quiet locations and dog friendly. Also has a little park for the children if you take them (we didn't). Would recommend and definitely return again.

Excellent glamping and facilities

Bell Tent - Bell Tents (Dog Friendly)Oct 2023

We spontaneously booked a pet-friendly bell tent to enjoy the last minute, sunny weekend. Booking was easy, communication with Phil was good and the tent on arrival was spotless. Our nearest toilet was clean and stocked with toilet paper. A lovely night away! Convenient location for Clacton-on-Sea and surrounding areas.
