About West Mersea Holiday Park
Tucked near the coastal village of West Mersea, this holiday park combines peaceful surroundings with easy access to the beach and estuary. The 27 electric hardstanding pitches suit tourers looking for a relaxed base, and there's a friendly on-site pub-restaurant that guests consistently enjoy. Caravans are well-equipped, and the location itself—within reach of sailing waters and Mersea's famed oyster sheds—gives the park real character.
Facilities cover the basics, including showers, toilets, and WiFi, though some visitors note the shower blocks can feel a little tired and could do with fresher maintenance. Dogs are welcome, making it a practical choice for families who want seaside walks and a quiet pitch without too much fuss.

What visitors say
We have been a couple of times now on the touring park the park itself is fine Paul & his family in the clubhouse are lovely & couldn’t do more for you however the toilets & showers should be condemned they are by far the worst we have ever encountered & are filthy hot water is a bonus.We have been met by both occasions in reception by this most miserable & unhelpful & actually very rude older women who clearly hates her job doesn’t make you welcome whatsoever.

Lovely touring park, surprisingly they have quite limited touring spaces, and the park is predominantly static caravans. Great location and great little pub/restaurant. Touring toilets/showers are slightly dated but OK

Amazing staff and all the visitors to the place were friendly & warm. My little girl soon made friends and was taken care of by older children who took her under their wing 😍 The site was clean, tidy and very picturesque. Nice sandy/pebbly beach. Completely dog friendly too which was wonderful. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

The park is lovely, clubhouse Sandbanks really friendly, drinks we felt were expensive..can't comment on the food as didn't eat there. Shower block too far away and not at all clean. Today a lady had her 2 dogs in the shower with her. Site states no twin axle caravans however we saw at least 5 or 6 come and go. I mentioned it in the office when leaving and was told, probably seasonal no as they were coming in and out. My sister wanted to join us but couldn't I mentioned this only to be told we'll if the site didn't know they have a twin axle when they arrive not a lot can be done. Make your mind up, I suspect it's what suits at the time
