Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

A nice and quiet campsite. It is well located if you come or leave by the ferry from Harwich. The coast is nearby and the station is within walking distance. -Translated from Dutch

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Although I only spent one night here passing through after I came off the Harwich ferry. I can say there's nothing to complain about. Friendly reception, clean facilities. Would happily spend another night here.
