Summer holidays at our caravan and campsite in essex

Pack up those shorts, remember your flip flops – and don’t forget the sun cream! Yes, summer is finally here! And you can make the most of the sun, sea and sand at our caravan and campsite in Essex.

Waldegraves is the number one choice for summer family holidays with a huge range of things to do on-park, including fishing, football golf, crazy golf, pitch and putt and our outdoor swimming pool.
