Discover Steeple Bay and escape to a wonderful, waterside retreat.

Situated on the coast near Southminster, the park is the hidden treasure of the South East of England, with ready access to the Mayland Creek.

If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway for all the family then Steeple Bay is the right place to be.

Choose to spend time in our Riverside bar or take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, while the kids have fun around the park with Loopy and his friends.

Or take to the nearby waters; you don’t have to be an active boatman to enjoy the location though, just watching the boats and yachts go by is the perfect therapy for todays stressful lifestyle.

The park boasts great facilities including a well-stocked fishing lake (with day tickets available from reception), an adventure playground and an amusement arcade.

Along with our leisure pool there is also a paddling pool for our very youngest guests.

Visit the clubhouse to round off a perfect day with tasty food and drink available, along with live music and top shows during busier periods.

The medieval town of Maldon is nearby with lots of shops and great restaurants to discover (Thursdays and Saturdays are best as they are market days).

Other "must-see" Essex attractions worth jumping in the car for, include Adventure Island, Chelmsford Miniature Railway, Colchester Zoo nd the famous pier at Clacton-on-Sea.

Or just revel in the majesty of the park surroundings; Steeple Bay Holiday Park sits along the banks of the Blackwater Estuary with beautiful unspoiled views across the water and, if you are lucky the sight of seals that are frequent visitors to the area.

The seals love the area, and in all likelihood so will you!

mr p williams, dorset
Just got back and really cant fault it. As a family of 4 we found loads to do and the kids made some good friends. Nice clean site and lovely area. Overall very good and we will probably go back.

Dog friendly us great but it did need more of an airing between guests! The doggy smell wasn't great, improving as the week went on as I had all windows open.The bedroom was a decent size, with plenty of storage. Looked exactly as the pictures had indicated.

Will never go again. Awful decision by me. Do not waste your money.

All better than expected

Stayed in what was supposed to be a gold plus caravan but it was basic and pretty grotty. Luckily we had antibacterial wipes so we could give the bathroom and kitchen a wipe over but the cleaning standard was poor. I also can’t understand why there wasnt any pillow or mattress protectors on the beds, yuck!

Basic but pricey

The caravan was nothing like the photos advertised. While it was fairly clean overall, there was visible mould in the shower and in one corner of the room, suggesting very basic cleaning. Fixtures and fittings felt tired, with several things broken or poorly maintained.The interior didn’t match the quality shown online and felt dated. This was disappointing as we booked expecting a more modern, well-kept space.

The van was clean on arrival but most of the window edge fittings had fell off , the van we got was no way a hold plus it was more like a bronze standard

Overall beautiful location great for estuary walks peaceful and quiet during off peak great place for the dogs in the hot weather As access to small beachCaravan is value for money but attention to cleaning needs reviewing as lots of food debris behind sofa cushions and shower needed a clean on arrival Kitchen equipment basic no chopping boardBut managed with what we had I would recommend

Really enjoyed our stay, though some outside seating would’ve been a nice touch. Overall, good value!
Emma, Hull
Date of stay: 10th September 2024
Overall, we had a decent stay. The reception team was absolutely fantastic, friendly and helpful throughout. However, the restaurant staff seemed a bit grumpy, possibly due to the busy Euro final at 1pm, but no need to be so moody. Cleaners could definitely use some proper training on tidying up. Still, reception made up for some of the minor issues.

Date of stay: 30th August 2024
We had a lovely long weekend, even with the restrictions. Sadly, the weather wasn't on our side for outdoor dining, but everything else was spot on!

We had a lovely time, can’t wait to return!

We had a lovely little getaway! The caravan was spotless and cosy and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Loved the carved pumpkins at the door-such a nice touch. Perfect spot for peaceful walks and exploring.

Pet hair was still there from before, but honestly, it didn’t bother us much.
James, Rushden
Date of stay: 8th April 2016
Really impressed with the caravan, it had everything we needed.
Emma, Northampton
Date of stay: 30th October 2015
We had a pretty decent stay overall. The caravan was spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious, which was a relief. The kids loved the playground - they had a blast out there! The reception team were super friendly and really helpful whenever we needed anything. Sadly, the kids’ entertainment was a bit of a disappointment; none of the activities listed in the leaflet actually took place, which was a bit of a let down. Luckily, we found a great soft play in Maldon called Maddison Heights, just about ten miles away and there’s plenty of shops and stuff to do nearby. I reckon it’s probably even better in the summer - we’d definitely consider coming back!
