Osea Leisure Park in Maldon

Too much noise too late from the Deckhouse.

We camped, so I can't really give a star rating for the 'rooms', but the pods and fixed tents did look good. We found it a lovely site, and will return.

It was lovely to see the kids running around and not on their iPads. Had a lovely time.

A large family group of us stayed here for some 40th birthday celebrations. The Glass House that a couple of us were in had everything we needed. The hot tub out on our deck was the best! Just for info, the Glasses houses are not accessible. Also, some of the sleeping facilities inside aren't as easy to access if you're older or have any mobility issues. That said, it's still a campsite. Albeit a very nice luxury one! Some of our family stayed in very well equipped tents, shepherd huts, and other types of lodges. I was told that the ones that didn't have facilities inside had access to very clean and secure toilet and shower blocks. But I can't really comment properly, as I didn't use them. The whole site looked clean, tidy, and well looked after. I felt there could have been information provided about the clubhouse, experiences, cycle, and equipment hire. We only found out about some of these things ourselves or from other visitors on the site.

For a muddy meadow, bad shower (water sprays the whole cabin wet, you don't get enough water yourself), access to sanitary facilities over a muddy meadow, no gray water disposal possible, construction noise on the site all day and then being forced to stay for 2 nights even though that Space is empty!!! All of this at a completely exorbitant price. In over 4 years of motorhome travel, we have never had such an expensive place with so little in return. Absolutely cannot be recommended. Motorhomes are apparently not welcome.

We had to book at least 2 nights even though the RV space was empty. We paid the equivalent of CHF 94 for this, which is really expensive and really surprised us. There was noise all day long from trucks, construction workers, construction machinery. The showers/toilet can only be reached by walking across a meadow, there is no path there. The meadow was wet and muddy. The place we were allowed to stand on was just as muddy. The motorhome sank so we couldn't drive onto the wedges to level it out. With a lot of effort and hardship we got away from the place after two days. What amazed us most was that you can't even dispose of gray water. We cannot recommend this place and will not come back. The positive thing was that the lady at reception was very friendly.

Been here 3 times first 2 times were amazing, beautiful scenery very friendly staff. The last time we visited we stayed in a Shepherd. no gas. Bunkbeds had nails coming through So nobody could sleep on it( took photo) upgraded us the next day, which was fantastic . But still have not received the £50 deposit four weeks later. Daughter got a parking fine on site 100 . Popped but did not get out of the car. Being told there is new site owners . If do not receive £50 within a week will be posting all the photos on social media my ( sen) could of got very hurt 😢

Really nice place but expensive for what it is

Lovely well kept residential and holiday park. Also has restaurant and bar facilities on site with an outdoor play area and large screen TVs showing a range of current sports. Recommended

Great club house and entertainment, great food and staff

Visited here after finding a last minute deal on campsites uk, as had work down in the area. The issues I came across why I've giving 4 stars for service was the fact we were charged a £50 security deposit something I wasn't aware off next day email came saying it was £30 but they have held £50 and can take up to 7 days to be returned bit of a con really. But the reception staff where not the most helpfull. Now the park wardan was an absolute gem, went above and beyond for all the guests and cared if we were having a good time. Toilets for some reason kepyed been locked at night so if you needed the loo you were in trouble, the gents toilet there was quite a bit of damage in places which was sad to see, The shower could of done with a bench and place to put your wash stuff etc instead everything gets soaked, Absolute brillent that the bathrooms where nice and hot with lovely hot water except the dreaded button that only turned the shower on for 8 seconds. Place is a lovely site and very well maintained grounds which they where doing some improvements when we arrived and once that grass has taken will look stunning. The pods we stayed in the malvern abouts brillent! Comfoy bed, clean and tidy and the seating outside was brillwnt with its own fire pit and bbq area well worth it. These are brillent. Just remeber there is no microwave etc just a kettle wise and a fridge. Overall if it wasn't for the reception staff not been that friendly and helpfull I would of given this site 5 stars on behalf of the hard work the wardan does. I would requemend this site just remeber the security deposit!

Staying in the emperor pod 3 rebecca davies and place is spotless well maintained grounds deckhouse food was lovely sad to be going home tomorrow morning had the best time will definitely be back

It's a caravan and camping site, also have cabins, shepherd's hut, and glamping tents.

Lovely family park. Tent we stayed wanot the cleanest but decent enough. I prefer pods.

Just introduced car parking charges that are way too expensive. Sorry that the Tearoom will suffer as customers will go elsewhere.

greedy..... why charge to park..... the tea rooms will be going out of business.. £4 for 2 hours... rip off....

Why the new rather extortionate car parking charges for access to the tearoom? Such a helpful location to park for retirees wanting to visit the tearoom. Brilliant tearoom with super view and staff. Why not half the price or an annual pass?

One of my fav places on the coast 😍

Fantastic fireworks display and staff were great especially Andy the warden

Great camping and caravan park on the coast line. Clean, great facilities and we loved the hot tub in the glass house!

We stayed for 2 nights in the touring section. Thr site is well located to travel around a little or close walk to the beach and walkway. The pitch had everything we needed with electric and nearby water tap. We were a short walk from a toilet and shower block, where the facilities a little dated but did the job. There was a nearer block slightly further away but didn't go to them. The site itself was very well maintained and a modern bar / restaurant which has various entertainment across the few days we were there. Would certainly recommend and would stay again

Nice place and 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 guy well done We come back 100 💯 procent

Toilets were dirty, with brown stains of "you know what" on the walls for the whole weekend. I really think toilets and showers should be checked a few times a day. Felt uncomfortable using them.

Our little haven. One of children's happy places. X

Only had a quick coke on a bike ride, neat tidy place

My Aunty has a place down here, a truly beautiful place with great staff. A neighbourly environment with loads for the kids to do.

Not bad ,noisy club house had food ,quite nice but could have done being hotter , great for kids

Love it here, so well looked after. Staff great.

Had a great 2 night stay, bbq and campfire were great!!

I absolutely adore this place. Its a holiday at home for me. All staff in the deckhouse are amazing. They deal with alot with so much professionalism. Brock, Katie, martine and everyone else have great customer service. Would recommend to everyone.

Hidden gem in Essex, children/family friendly lots of local activities prices are reasonable..

I've been coming to this site since a child and have seen it grow into what it's become. However, our first camping trip at Osea Leisure, was somewhat dampened by the lack of clean facilities. We stayed Sat-Mon and did not see anybody clean the toilets or showers. By the Monday, there was no toilet paper or hand soap available, in all but one toilet. The toilets where visibly dirty, toilet paper on the floors. Our pitched was located right by the main entrance to the site, so had the road by our heads at night time. The noise from the road was very loud at times. Large tankers do use that road as they come from the sewage works, located further down the road. On the playground, you could smell the sewage plant however, this wasn't smelt on the Sunday or Monday so think depends on the way the wind blows. This wasn't smelt in or around our tent. Site is noisey and lively in the evening however, did quieten down around 11 pm - obviously people out enjoying the bank holiday sunshine so not something that can be changed but just to be aware of. Apart from this, a lovely family friendly site. Short walk to the coastal path, club house, a cafe and children's playground. We did have a lovely holiday but felt slightly let down by the lack of clean facilities. Parking can be limited for visitors but always found a space. Very reasonably priced just seen a huge change in the cleanliness of facilities since last Easter - I was shocked as always rave about the site. Club house has been updated/renovated so that was nice.

Beautiful place . Pricey ! But in a lovely location . Bar and social club is good . Although acoustics are loud 🔊.

Great for getting on your jetski for some summer fun.

Lovely site, tidy and clean. Great touring pitches. Lots of different accommodation types.

Osea leisure park was fantastic place to take the children, lots to do. Stayed in the glass House. Great staff. The hot tub was amazing. My children would love to go back.

Had a great weekend. One thing that would be useful is disabled access ramps for wheelchairs.

From a touring/camping pov- this site has gone downhill. Guests in the other accommodations rule the roost and campers/caravanners have to deal with the noise and general disregard for what was a beautiful site. 'Quiet times' were not adhered to despite the hard work of Andy, the wonderful site warden, and lots not Starr on the noise from the road in and out of the park which was the noisiest it has ever been with lorries and trucks arriving from 5am crashing and banging over the speed bumps... and even up until 10.30 at night. Not great if you are in a tent or caravan. As regular customers for over 6 years - I doubt we will be back. Such a shame as the site was sooooo lovely.

Great fun afternoon at their Party in the Park with 80s tribute band Ultimate 80s playing

Friendly staff very clean and tidy and peaceful.

Placement of park is lovely. You're right by the estuary with plenty of coastal walks, and beautiful places to visit. We were camping, the camping field was smaller than expected, with a car next to the tent there was not much room to sit and relax outside. The left hand side only had pitches half the way down, which left room for children to play however they chose to play in the path of cars leaving the field. We had one incident where the truck was parked outside our tent, cooker in between and two young boys and a football came tumbling up to the cooker. Thank goodness I had not started cooking yet. As for the facilities, the showers in the same field the heads are not great and they don't drain. The toilets are nice though. As for the facilities opposite the stargazers they are like family rooms, toilet, sink and rainfall shower per cubical. Those aren't too bad. However one morning the water did get too hot. To finish my shower I had to turn the tap on to try and make the shower cooler. The bar was nice, it has AC, the pool table and outside is a small play area for kids. I didn't see anywhere to grab food on the evening. The cafe near the bar closed before tea time.

Stayed in a Shepherds hut a few years ago Great ce to be.

Great short break, good glamping facilities, a handy club house and some nice walks along the river.

First time here, definitely won't be the last! Fantastic site! Attention to cleanliness outstanding! Mums and dad's even our dogs thoroughly enjoyed it. A big thank you to Lisa on reception who couldn't help us enough, thank you!!

Another great stay in the safari tent. They have been updated since our last visit with more electric sockets & lights, full oven, dishwasher and even a drinks cooler. Staff sorted out everything for us. We’ll be back next year

Having this on your door step? Sweet... retreat!

This place is lovely,lots of different places to stay,good entetainment,lots for kids to do and very peaceful,i really loved the glamping

This place it's the best for summer!!!!

Lovely walk along the seawall and the Tiptree Tearooms is a must have to visit

Great stay for families, lots of fun things to do and the area is beautiful. The staff were super helpful and friendly too. We stayed in the shepherd's hut and it had all we needed, toilet, plates, cups and utensils, kettle, toaster, electric radiator, hand wash and toilet roll in the bathroom.
