  • Family-friendly Suffolk holiday park on the edge of Kessingland
  • Africa Alive five minutes’ drive; Great Yarmouth half an hour
  • Three swimming pools, fishing lake, tennis court, playground and bar
Do you like to be beside the seaside? Heathland Beach Holiday Park might have just made it to the top of your wish list, then. This holiday park is on the outskirts of Kessingland (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), a coastal village with a sand and shingle expanse dotted with marram grass tufts. Unleash the kids on this Suffolk beach, and who knows – they might come back to you bearing gifts of a fossil nature. But before you head out for a day on the sand, check out the facilities at this tree-shaded site, starting with not one, not two, but three outdoor swimming pools, including one with a twisty waterslide that ought to keep the kids busy while you relax on a poolside sun lounger, sipping a cold brew from the bar. Children can also make new friends in the enclosed adventure playground, a huge sandpit with wooden structures for climbing and balancing. There’s also an all-weather tennis court (you can hire the necessary equipment on site) and, for a more meditative experience, a well-stocked fishing lake (please note you’ll need a licence). Spacious pitches all come with electric and water hook-up. In addition to a well-maintained toilet and shower block, there’s a communal barbecue area; you can source food supplies in Kessingland, which also has a handful of fish and chip shops and takeaway restaurants (and a skate park for the kids).

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Extremely clean site, well
Kept, shower and toilet blocks cleaned to a high standard.
Plots are big! And shaded by trees which keep the camper cool.
There are beautiful surroundings, very relaxed and peaceful and friendly people on site. Nice nature walks nearby and down to the beach.
Louise and Tony who run the bar are so lovely! And the bar is very cute and unique!
A small site with a warm welcoming atmosphere plus the pool was the icing on the cake!
Highly recommend

Disliked No shop close enough to walk if in a motor home with no car. Soaks sureyou have all
You need as car only has drinks sweets and choc.
Maybe a little shop with essentials like bread would be beneficial

Recommend to friends Visit again

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked New owners really bringing this park back to its former glory!

Bar is now in full swing, food is great when you are in a rush to get to bingo and have a family.

Disliked Pool times arnt so great, hoping they will reflect and have 1hr booking slots 10-6 rather than 2 sessions a day (12-4)

Most owners were upset as unable to use to pool!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Extremely clean, very friendly staff, spacious pitches, absolutely perfect place to go. i just want to elaborate on the cleanliness by the way, our pitch was right next to the toilet/shower block and i swear to god someone came every hour to clean up and they did a good clean as well, ive never been to a campsite with such perfection for cleanliness.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely, well kept pitches. Toilet block was very clean and plenty of hot water. Staff were all helpful and engaged, went the extra mile. It’s a good location for walking and has a bus right outside for Southwold. We will be back. There is an onsite bar with good value pub meals.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos and flamingos are among the residents at Africa Alive (five minutes’ drive). Experiences at this conservation zoo range from ‘keeper for the day’-type affairs (where kids help to feed and clean the animals) to close encounters with lemurs and meerkats, and feeding sessions with the giraffes. Birdwatchers make a beeline for Benacre National Nature Reserve (10 minutes), a breeding site for dozens of bird species, including marsh harriers, woodlarks and ducks. Carlton & Oulton Marshes (15 minutes) is another top nesting site, home to several types of warblers, plus lots of dragonflies. Known for its wide sandy beach, Great Yarmouth (half an hour) also has the historic Britannia Pier, with old-fashioned rides (think dodgems and carousels) and more modern ones, like bungee trampolines. Check out the maritime collections at the Time and Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life or the penguin enclosure at Sea Life Great Yarmouth aquarium.
