  • Quiet caravan park five minutes’ walk to Caister-on-Sea Beach, Norfolk
  • SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth and Ormesby Broad both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Hardstanding pitches with electric hook-ups; shops 10 minutes’ drive
Family-run specifically for families, Norfolk’s Grasmere Caravan Park is a quiet grassy enclave only 10 minutes’ drive – but light years in vibe – from the razzmatazz of east-coast resorts like Great Yarmouth. In fact, the site is 10 minutes’ drive from a lot of places, including Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, Joyland amusement park and Ormesby Broad, so you and the kids will never be short of something to do and see. And the list goes on, for there are several pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and specialist food shops within 10 minutes by car too, making life on site nice and easy for you. Luckily for excited kids, the beach at Caister-on-Sea is closer still, being five minutes’ stroll away from your tourer pitch, so they can soon be digging castles on the sand. Allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, the pitches are generally hard, well drained and laid with stone or granite chips. Each has its own service point with a water tap, foul water drain and electric hook-up. Please note dogs are not permitted. So you can relax knowing that your worldly goods are safe, access to the site is via a remote-controlled barrier for caravans, which is operated by staff only.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: A quiet site but well positioned for all the local attractions including Yarmouth, the racecourse and the Broads. We biked into Yarmouth and also took a boat out from nearby Martham.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice friendly site, very peaceful, clean facilities, showers lovely and warm. Walking distance to a beautiful beach, shop, pub, cafe and lovely chip shop. Short bus ride away from Great Yarmouth if you like the busier seaside...would definitely recommend.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Unfortunately this wasn’t a pleasant experience and I wouldn’t recommend. You can’t go in or out of the site at your own leisure. The facilities were awful. The site needs some serious investment. I’m not sure not being able to exit the site without ringing for the barrier to be lifted passes fire regulations. I would like a refund

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our advert clearly states that we have a staff controlled barrier. All guests with motor homes are asked on arrival if they plan to be off and on a lot. We understand that some customers feel restricted by this so we have other unrestricted pitches available. We also have unrestricted height barriers and have someone on site 24/7. In event of fire guests exit on foot so I’m not quite sure of your issue there. I wish you had voiced your issues whilst on site , I was standing there as you left so there was ample opportunity to voice your complaint .

Good site , clean facilities

Nina D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Individual modern large wetroom shower blocks. Toilets and sink in each. Kept clean. Little site tucked away, not on a main road. We were able to cycle into Gt Yarmouth on cycle paths and back late at night, no problem.

Disliked: First morning we were woken up with a maintanance man cutting all the hedges. Would not have minded, but there was no one parked over the other side of the site. He could have started there rather than right outside our camper van after we had been at a festival till late the night before ! Not a fault of the site though. Just annoying as we paticarly booked this site as it looked to be small and quite.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Apologies for your rude awakening , I would have been annoyed too! I believe I had requested that particular area be prioritised as greenery was overhanging the pitch. The recent weather has proved fantastic for all our shrubbery . As we let guests choose their own pitches this was just pure bad luck. Please do email directly if you’d like to return . The Peers- Blake Family.
