 Like all the other reviews. This is truely a good, clean site. In a lovely spot close to the estuary. Here's the thing, It does need another shower block nearer to the touring site,as in high season you would have to wait for your shower as it only has two showers for each gender.
The waste water and washing up facilities are very, very basic as is the chemical disposal. The path between the site gate and the Pub (which is run by a lovely couple), should be better. If your wheelchair bound or frail, what there's now could be very dangerous. That said, I would definitely recommend this site.

Just got back from an overnighter here
I chose this site for three reasons.
1) Closeness to home.
2) To break my other half gentley into camping.
3) It was my birthday
As previously mentioned by others, what a great little site, the only criticism is, why is the toilet block so far away from the touring field and placed in the middle of the static caravans (they don't need it)
Last night I found the Creeksea Inn at the rear of the site on the river, lovely honest pub (could do with a lick of paint, but don't be put off) good value meals, I went for the Animal Burger (only for the really hungry, it is massive!) Entertainment was laid on by means of a Rock n Roll singer. He finished at 0030 this morning and yes I had a sore head when I woke up.
To round it up, great site, great location and a great place to get away from it all.
I'll come back again with the kids next time

We used this site which is close to home for a weekend to test our new tent. Great quiet friendly site however as per everyone else's reviews toilet blocks are a long way from touring field!
However they are clean and the showers are good.
We would go back however we have just heard the ferry inn has closed so this would stop us returning as was great food, great atmosphere, great prices! but no other facilities close by

This is really quite a gem of a site tucked away where you would not expect it.
Lovely well kept grounds, went on a busy weekend and felt a bit packed in but had plenty of room for what we needed.
Site has nice country and pubs around, and a passenger ferry to burnham from the marina, runs from ten to five and is £3 per person each way.
Would definitely benefit from another toilet/shower block up in touring field, what is there however is clean and well maintained just too far.
Site staff pleasant and helpful, as were the managers of the ferry Inn next door run by their daughter and son in law.
Pub staff all very nice and food was basic pub fare but good quality and very good portions.
I really felt that with some planning both site and pub were real gold mines, however we had a nice stay, will definitely go back and recommend to friends.

When we arrived we visited reception and shown around and were able to pick our own pitch from the tent field. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Shop was well stocked with food not to have to visit a store.
Lovely duck pond and river to fish in, lovely walk to marina and local pub with homemade food which is really tasty.
Toilets and showers very clean although only two showers in each block, although no-one in there whenever we went to use them.
Only went from Friday to Monday so will definitely go for a week next time.

A well maintained site with a couple of touring fields, a tent field, and a large static area. There is a small shop for basics, the staff are friendly and the site is nicely landscaped. If you have small children be mindful of the water, as streams meander everywhere and there is big pond very near to the children's play area.
If you're staying during the summer, insect repellent would probably come in handy!
We used the camping field at the front of the site (without EHUs) and found the terrain level and clean. Our only complaint would be the lack of nearby toilet facilities; getting to the shower and toilet block seemed a bit of a hike early in the morning or late at night. Apart from this, the block was always clean when we visited and at the back of it there was a fully functioning laundry room and washing up facilities.
On exiting the rear of the site, we were able to walk along the river Crouch for a good 3 miles and the pub just outside the site gates had a warm, friendly atmosphere.
We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend Riverside Village.

Stayed here end of May and unfortunately the same time as the weather changed for the worse. 24 hours of rain on site showed the site copes well with a bit of rain as the ground was well drained. The winds on the second day showed how flat the site is.
Arrival to site was easy and pleasant, staff are very friendly and the golf buggy led directions to the pitch are excellent. As previously mentioned, the site needs another toilet block, preferably to be located between the current one and the site entrance. That said, washing facilities are fine and well serviced as are the washing up facilities (although there is only one sink available so there can be a queue).
There is plenty of room for the kids to play and a playground on site. Overall a nice site and one we will return to.

A lovely site spoilt only by some late night Saturday noise from a group of caravanners which we had to complain about at 11.45pm ish and an inadequacy of toilet and shower facilities during peak booked times exacerbated by absurd morning cleaning times.
Some visible and accessible late evening wardening and revised morning toilet and shower cleaning times after peak usage times rather than during them would almost make this a first class site but ultimately more toilets and showers particularly for the Gents are needed.
Would definitely revist off peak only though.

We arrived at around 1.30pm to find that the office was closed for lunch until 2pm,
There was only 1 toilet block which had 2 toilets, 2 showers & 2 sinks in the gents and no private wash rooms, and in the ladies there were 2 showers and about 4 toilets and sinks and no private wash rooms, for the size of the site this just isn’t enough if busy you would struggle,
Also the toilet block was a long walk if you were at the far end of the site, they also closed the toilets for cleaning approx 8.30 to 9.00am which is a peak time to use them, mid afternoon would have been better. The toilets were nice and clean while we were there but the site was quiet at the time. No mop was provided to mop the showers after use,
Having said all this the site was mainly clean and picturesque, apart from the sink in the middle of the field

The site was very clean and tidy and the washroom facilities were also very clean and modern with plenty of hot water.
The staff were very pleasant and wanted to help where ever they could.
There is a lovely seawall walk along the River Crouch on the edge of the campsite and for the adventurous souls, you can walk across the fields to Paglesham Churchend and visit the Punchbowl Pub for a fantastic meal and local ales (only 20 minute walk).
There were a few downsides to the site, the main one being, that the toilet block was a good 3 minute walk from the tent field(s). In the early hours of the morning, this was quite a daunting task especially if it is cold!. It didn't make much sense building the toilet block in the middle of the static caravan area?
