The extensive Essex coastline is ideal for summer camping holidays for all the family. Seaside resorts such as Clacton-on-Sea, Walton-on- the-Naze, Southend-on-Sea and Mersea Island as well as miles of Blue Flag beaches offer all the fun of a traditional seaside town and more. With fascinating history waiting to be explored, wonderful walks along the coast, nature reserves brimming with wildlife and fantastic open areas for picnics and relaxation, there is something for all members of the family.
Most holiday parks have a pool and after a relaxing dip or an active swim, you can treat yourself to lunch and a drink at the poolside. Alternatively, try out the many activities on offer, ranging from horse riding to watersports, walking and cycling. In the evening, sit back and enjoy the many shows or simply relax by the seashore with a glass of wine and watch the world go by.

Featured holiday parks and campsites
Voted the Best Holiday Park in Essex three years running, this grassy, sheltered and level family park, with fishing lakes and private beach, is a fun, vibrant, action-packed park with activities for all and a fabulous entertainment programme.
Get away from it all with a spot camping or glamping. Generously spaced pitches available for everyone. If you want to experience camping without the worry of pitching your tent, then try a spot of glamping with the brand new Wigwams®.
Located close to the beach and the town centre, the park has fantastic facilities and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. Surrounded with flowers and beautiful scenery, it has that 'premier' feel which other parks in the area don't have.
