Clear filters Great stopover site
Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2023 A great place for us for a stopover night. Great facilities, clean, but busy, so didn't stay clean for long! Super friendly campsite hosts.
Great site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2023 Great site in an area where there's lots to do nearby.
Tent area, glamping site and motorhome/caravan part are well set out and separate.. Kids have play park, and site has a breakfast to mid morning cafe. Owners live on site and are super helpful and friendly.
Facilities are spotless, they could just do with more of them to make the rating 5 star. Clean, well run site, quiet peaceful area. Guests observe the 11pm "quiet now please" requirement and sleeping therefore not a problem.
We had an almost perfectly flat & level pitch for our caravan & awning, all grass pitches. Good access to electric hook up, fresh water, grey water & waste disposal.
We'd come back!
A beautiful area
Bell Tent - Large Bell Tents Aug 2023 First time glamping, the host was very accommodating when we had forgotten glasses to drink from. He was lovely and friendly. The bell tent was beautiful, as described. The toilets and shower was very clean.
Lovely place to stay
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2023 We stayed for 1 night, wished it was more! The showers, toilets and washing up area are spotlessly clean!
The pitches are good sized and level. Perfect for children too as there's a little play area.
Lovely place
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2023 We absolutely loved our stay. Well-kept site, toilets and showers regularly cleaned throughout the day.
Enjoyed having breakfast (additional cost) in an old air raid shelter.
Phil the owner is a very nice chap, we can't wait to stay again.
Excellent
Bell Tent - Large Bell Tents Aug 2023 Very good service throughout.

‘Sweet Pea’
Camping Pod - Glamping Pods Aug 2023 Lovely stay for us a family. Kids had a blast. It was clean and everyone was so friendly. Would 100% recommend!
Lovely but noisy
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2023 Great place to stay, facilities seemed very clean and the owner was super friendly and helpful.
Whilst it's a child friendly site and it was school holidays we stayed there, it did feel a little congested, with lots of noise until quite late, which maybe an area away from peoples tents for people to play ball games could be of benefit.
Appreciate that parents could look out for their children more, which is nothing to do with the site itself, but it did get noisy at times. Overall though, we had a great stay and would return.
Nice quiet site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jul 2023 The owner was lovely, he met us on arrival and explained the site layout, he was there again taking our order at breakfast which was nicely cooked and was on hand when we needed.
Great stay
Camping Pod - Glamping Pods Jul 2023 Really lovely first time glamping, and at The Pretty Thing.
It's a great location (although we did drive by it to begin with, as signage is only noticeable one side as you drive up to it). Really cute pod. Very clean and cosy looking. 2 toilets and 2 showers in the glamping area to use (tip is to get up early to use them to avoid them getting too gross from other campers!)
Really loved it, definitely will do it again.
Weekend away
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2023 Clean and family friendly. Very welcoming.
1st time caravanning
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jul 2023 It was our 1st time caravanning, so was a bit nervous pulling on to the site, but everyone was so helpful from other caravaners to the host.
I have already booked again as it was the perfect stay, very clean toilets and showers and a superb cafe for breakfast and coffee.
Definitely would recommend.
Fantastic place
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Fantastic host and pleasant staff. We will be back.
Good site Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Jun 2023 Was no hot water for washing up and the water was not very hot in the showers.
Beautiful find
Bell Tent - Bell Tent May 2023 Loved it! Had the best stay. Staff were great!
Very nice site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches May 2023 Very nice site. Will stay again. Very handy for Clacton-On-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and Frinton-on-Sea.
Amazing place to come
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2023 What a lovely nice place to stay, nice and quiet.
Me and my partner visited as we wanted weekend away. We wanted to stay another day, which we asked owners about and they said it was fine.
We're definitely going to come back here with all my family as it child friendly, which is nice.
Brilliant
Camping Pod - Glamping Pods May 2023 Absolute gem of a place. We had a lovely time celebrating my partners birthday.
We hired the pod along with the fire pit. Tranquil setting, wonderful host, and spotlessly clean.
Nothing was too much trouble, even after a few requests. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we were through the gate.
Would definitely recommend.
Sweet campsite!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2023 A lovely campsite for our first outing with our new tent. Phil is such a nice guy and makes you feel really welcome. There’s a playground and cafe. The facilities were immaculate, constantly cleaned.
Friendly, peaceful and clean
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2023 Really clean site, good size pitches, friendly helpful owner and a great location just a short drive from Clacton-on-Sea, but maintaining a peaceful rural feel.
The showers were exceptionally clean, warm and powerful (unlike most sites). The toilets were equally clean and well maintained. I had the best nights sleep, although the other campers may have been disturbed by my loud snoring. Woke up late and didn't feel pressured to vacate early.
Loved the atmosphere of this site. Looking forward to returning again some day.
Our stay Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2023 A very easy review, 5 ⭐️ all the way!
Warm welcome, nice and clean and well maintained.
Thank you for having us 👌
Rain stopped play
Bell Tent - Bell Tents (Dog Friendly) Mar 2023 Unfortunately my trip was delayed due to bad weather.
Phil was so kind to contact me a few days before to discuss postponing my trip, which I gratefully accepted.
Fingers crossed for better weather when I'm back in England later in the year.
A great place to stay
Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Sep 2022 Booked last minute. A great place to stay. Spotless facilities, level pitches and a friendly community atmosphere. Would go again✌️
Lovely and quiet
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Sep 2022 A bit confusing on arrival, as reception was a post in the field.
Someone who wasn't the owner approached and directed us to the pitch. If you've got dogs give St Osyth beach a miss, although it's got a good cafe. Martins Farm Park is best for dog walking.
Lovely little campsite, will return!
Bell Tent - Bell Tent Sep 2022 We loved our visit to The Pretty Thing. We stayed in a glamping bell tent, the bed was comfortable and the tent was clean and nicely decorated. The site was really quiet when we stayed which we loved, and the owner was very friendly. The coffee shop serves fabulous coffee and breakfast sandwiches. My daughter liked the little play area, and the park is located within a short drive of Clacton sea front.
