 Must say a very nice and pleasant site.
You even get showed to your pitch so no worries if too close to others.
Pitches are well spaced and well kept.
Not ideal for those with teenagers but if like ours all under 13 then not a problem, also no club but to make up for this a nice Pub (CreekSea Ferry Inn), which does good food and is well catered for kids. Also only through a set of gates outside site.
Only downfall of site is the lack of more toilet / Shower blocks only 2 showers (Men) for whole site, but very clean though and piping hot water.
All in All very relaxing will go back in May as only 30 mins for us.

Visited this site for our first family camping trip. As its not far from home we thought we'd try somewhere near 'just in case'.
This is a really lovely site, very well kept, and the kids had gr8 fun. (5yrs and 3yr old), they loved the ducks walking around the site and the playground. Although we didn't fish, we watched others catching lovely fish, and nxt time will take rods.
The Creaksea Ferry Inn, just up the seafront was gr8, even though we only ate picky food, chips and garlic bread, what we did see coming out of the kitchen looked delicious, and good price too.
Will definitely go back to this site, highly recommend anyone to go there.

This is a gem of a site (and only 8 miles from home!). We live so close that we were able to inspect before booking. This is a mix of statics and caravans, campervans and tents. The pitches were fairly generous in size but the manager was quite picky about positioning and initially had a bit of a 'take it or leave it' approach; they were quite busy though. We had a hookup and paid £18 for tent 2 adults and 2 small children. Our in-laws in a campervan paid an extra £1 for their utility tent,
There are non electric pitches but further away from toilets/showers. These were clean but only 2 showers which is probably not enough when very busy, (wife had to wait). There were sheltered washing up points around he site but these were cold water only.
The site has a waterway threaded through it which although not especially deep should be a concern for those with children. It does run next to the children's play area so be aware. The water feature runs off the small fishing pond which, although it doesn't look much, produced fish for us (3 carp to 4lb). Be aware that the owners inspect fishing licences before allowing you to fish, (rightly so). Fishing is £5 per rod and hardly anyone bothers with it so you'll probably have it to yourself.
The play area is basic but our kids seemed to like it as did the many other children. There were lots of children so if you don't like kids noise, footballs, bikes etc ask to be away form the play area (or lighten up).
You can walk through the site to the river which has a great view, there is also a pub with play area here. A ferry runs across to Burnham which is a good day out (www.Ladyessex.Com). They also do seal spotting trips.
All in all a great time was had by all - we'll be back and would recommend it!

This site is only 27 miles from where I live and yet the difference in the surroundings is amazing. The quiet is the first thing you notice. We were on a pitch adjacent to the childrens play area and even though there were plenty of kids over the weekend we had a very peaceful stay.
Although there are only 2 showers in the gents and the same for the ladies they were clean whenever I went there day or night. There are also washing machines / tumble driers behind the amenities block, but as we were only there for the weekend we did not use these.
There is coarse fishing on site and the Crouch estuary is literally outside the back gate for the sea angler!
Also outside the back gate (combination lock) is the Creeksea Ferry Inn, with friendly staff (and locals) live entertainment on saturday night and a good resturant as well
The staff at Riverside are very laid back and accomodating (we had friends and their children stay over with us on saturday night and were only charged £2 for the charity box!)
All in all not a bad site, lots of wildlife, clean fresh air, lots of space for whatever size unit you are in and ducks, swans and geese wandering around the campsite all day
We really enjoyed it and will be back very soon

We have been back to this site many times since we first visited in May 2007!
It is a lovely haven to sit back and relax in. The facilities are always found to be clean and well maintained, although it's always a good idea to get in the showers early to avoid the usual wet floors. These are regularly mopped though and don't pose a problem.
There is a small shop for basics, the staff are always friendly and helpful and the site is beautifully scaped witha river running through it and the local pub and main river Crouch only a 3 minute walk away.
We always look forward to our next visit and arealways sad to have to leave! It's worth noting we think the site has it's own little eco-system as we've never had bad weather since we first started visiting!

Stayed here last weekend, and couldn't have picked a nicer site to get away from London and chill out.
Myself and my partner are overnight campers so didn't really use the facilities or the shop, but the toilets were clean and fairly new, and plenty of them.
The site is off winding country roads, and the field for pitching tents had a big duck pond in the middle with the river on the other side. The site is pretty and well maintained, and the owners very friendly. I went along on the Sun morning to ask if I could pay extra and stay a few hours past the 11.00 am off rule, and was told to keep my money and stay all day and have a lovely time.
We drove into Southend on the Sat night and went to Adventure Island which is fantastic for kids.
I will definitely return. £10 per night for the 2 of us, lovely surroundings, and very friendly ducks and Swans!

We stayed here for the August bank holiday, this was our first time camping, we absolutely loved it. The campsite was very clean, toilet and shower block was constantly being cleaned.
The staff/owners were very helpful, especially with freezing our ice blocks at no charge, which I didn't know people would do for you.
The only downside was the occasional smell from the near by fields, which were being laid with manure, but if you go early in the year I assume that wouldn't be the case. But even that didn't spoil the beauty of the surrounding area.
We will definetly be going back next year.

We stayed on the site for one night only.
Having turned up at 1pm Saturday, as I had advised the owner when I made the booking, we were surprised to find the reception/office/shop closed. It was supposed to be open until 5pm but there was a notice on the door saying that it was closed for the remainder of the day and to call a mobile number for any queries. I phoned to ask where we needed to pitch and was told to drive back towards the main road and pitch on the last field on the left and not to pitch anywhere near the caravans. This field was not only very small, but also very full so we had no choice but to pitch in a caravan field (there were three family-sized tents in our group).
The toilets and washbasin areas were immaculate but the shower curtains were black with mildew, as were the corners of the shower trays. As we were only staying for one night, we chose not to use the showers. There was also a notice in the shower block that a nominal fee of £2.00 must be paid at the office before using the showers. We thought this was rather excessive if we had wanted to use them.
Other than the above mentioned disappointments, the location and surroundings were lovely. We saw the peacock, coots, swans and ducks too. We would definitely come here again for one to two night stays as we live just 7 miles away but it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Escapism on our doorstep.

Pleasant, quiet, toilets clean and immaculate. Great place to 'get away from it all'. Pub within 5 minute walk, pleasant dog walk along riverbank. Small children's playground and lots of ducks around to keep little ones amused. There is a shop on-site that stocks the 'essentials', but if you want a daily newspaper, its about a 5 minute drive to the nearest shop/newsagent.
Plenty of wildlife, fresh air and relaxation- will definitely return!

This site will be seeing much more of us! Living in the commuter belt we feel that we should drive miles from our home to find peace and tranquillity, this is not true. We drove eight minutes to this site, the second we arrived we felt a quiet relaxation.
As we did not require electric hook up we were able to pitch our tent without restriction in a choice of two fields. We chose a spot that allowed us to view the quiet river and feed the ducks. Geese, mallards, coots and a peacock were spotted by our two boys over the weekend.
The children were encouraged, by the owners, to enjoy the freedom to ride their bikes on the roadways, play in the children's play area and 'fish' in the creaks with their nets.
The security of the site was prevalent when we were issued with a number code to re enter the site from the walk way along the sea/river wall. The walk along the sea/river wall could be for miles of uninterrupted scenery or a two minute walk to the 'Creeksea Ferry Inn'. This pub served reasonably priced pub food as well as a restaurant (we did not use the restaurant).
This site also has a brand new toilet and shower block, recycling facilities and a small general store which stocked the basics for your stay. On Sundays a newspaper van appears from the local village.
A very pleasant, relaxed site which we will be returning to this season.
