Colchester Country Park

Colchester Country Park is a well-maintained, year-round campsite set on 14 hectares of grassland on the outskirts of Colchester, Essex — widely recognised as England's oldest recorded town.

The site features partly shaded pitches with ample bushes and welcomes touring caravans, campervans, motorhomes, and tents, with both grass and hardstanding options available.

Its location makes it a popular overnight stop for travellers heading to or from the nearby ferry ports at Harwich and Felixstowe, while also serving as a base for exploring the wider region, including the Essex coast, Suffolk, and Constable Country.

Surrounding nature reserves and country parks offer footpaths and cycle tracks for those keen to explore on foot or by bike.
