Fen Farm Caravan and Camping Site is ideal for people looking for a quiet family retreat. It is situated by the sea and close to a country park in a small village on Mersea Island.

It is an ideal place to stay for people with an interest in wildlife as Cudmore Grove Country Park is very close by and the renowned Fingeringhoe Wick Nature Reserve is just 6 miles away. Abberton Reservoir with its abundance of water birds is also well worth the 10 minute drive.

With no club and no pool, people who come to Fen Farm do so for the tranquil atmosphere and children often surprise themselves by finding an occupation that does not involve anything being switched on or booted up! There are always the play areas with swings, seesaws, climbing frames etc. In addition to this children enjoy ‘crabbing’ in the creeks, playing on the beach or in the sea. We also have 2 open fields for ball games, flying kites or just walking the dog.

The toilet block was designed with conservation in mind with solar powered water heating (backed up with gas when necessary). Sun pipes provide light in the daytime. We have been awarded 5 stars from the Loo of the year awards 2 years running. An important part of the block is the wheelchair accessible toilet and shower, as well as the family toilet and shower room. There is also a laundry room with coin operated washing machines, tumble driers and iron along with a freezer for ice blocks and sinks for washing up.

Mersea Island vineyard with its Courtyard cafe is within a few miles, and in West Mersea there are various shops, pubs, takeaways and restaurants, including the famous Company Shed fish restaurant. Cocks Butchers and their neighbours Garden Farm Produce have local meats and produce when possible. Some local takeaways will deliver to the site including Chinese, Indian and Pizza.
