Oaklands Holiday Park, St Osyth, Essex

A Peaceful Owners-Only Retreat Between Coast and Countryside

Nestled in the picturesque Essex countryside on the edge of the historic village of St Osyth, Oaklands Holiday Park offers a unique style of holiday home ownership that combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of excellent transport links and the attractions of the nearby coastline.

Designed exclusively for holiday home owners, Oaklands is a welcoming, community-focused park centred around a beautifully maintained fishing lake, where owners enjoy a relaxed pace of life surrounded by open green spaces, wildlife, and like-minded neighbours.

Unlike large commercial holiday parks, Oaklands is free from the hustle and bustle of holidaymakers coming and going. Instead, owners enjoy a quieter, more exclusive environment where every visit feels like coming home.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend escape, a base for exploring Essex, somewhere to work remotely, or a place to spend extended periods throughout the year, Oaklands delivers an exceptional ownership experience.

The Best of Both Worlds

One of Oaklands' greatest strengths is its location.

Set in the heart of the Essex Sunshine Coast, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy both countryside tranquillity and traditional seaside charm.

Clacton-on-Sea's award-winning beaches, bustling promenade, iconic pier, restaurants, cafés and shopping facilities are only a short drive away, while the charming waterside town of Brightlingsea and the historic village of St Osyth can be reached via a network of scenic public footpaths directly accessible from the park.

Owners can leave their holiday home and enjoy miles of countryside walks without needing to get into the car.

Perfect for Dog Owners

Oaklands is a genuinely pet-friendly park and a favourite choice for dog owners.

A network of countryside footpaths leads directly from the park into St Osyth and onwards towards Brightlingsea, providing endless opportunities for daily walks through open countryside, woodland, and coastal landscapes.

Within minutes of the park you'll find several year-round dog-friendly beaches, allowing owners and their four-legged companions to enjoy the coastline throughout every season.

Whether it's an early morning walk along the shoreline or an afternoon exploring local nature reserves, Oaklands provides the ideal base for outdoor living.
