Camping and Caravanning
Whether you're a local looking for a short break or travelling from further afield, you can get out in the fresh air and discover the great Essex coast and countryside in your campervan, tent, or caravan or hire a luxury lodge on a Holiday Park.
Mersea Island is the perfect location to set up camp for a short break or a longer visit. Just a short drive from Colchester, this tidal Island truly gets you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Be sure to check the tide times before you go or you could be stranded! If you do find yourself left on the island, however, why not enjoy some local oysters or fish and chips? If you've got an unexpected extra-few hours to spare, it just makes sense!
Sample Local Food and Drink
Sample Mersea Oysters, Tiptree Jam or a locally brewed beer.
