The Hollies

Liked Location remote and wild but close to major supermarkets and shops. The sea side area is amazing with stairs going down and a long pleasant walk to the sea. Enough and well maintained toilets and showers, food drinks on site, friendly staff.

Disliked No dislikes. Had a wonderful and relaxing stay

Liked We stayed as a group of 4 adults and 2 children, using two tents, and really enjoyed our stay.

The pitches were a great size, and you could choose where you wanted to pitch up. The campsite was much larger than we are used to, with numerous fields dedicated to caravans and campervans, as well as two separate fields for tents. Check-in was easy, and there is a coded barrier when entering the site. All the relevant access details were sent directly from the campsite before our arrival, which made everything very straightforward.

There were plenty of facilities available on site, including a fish and chip van, a coffee van and somewhere to get breakfast. There was also a freezer where you could freeze your cool boxes, as well as a 24-hour laundrette. The toilet and shower facilities were cleaned regularly, with two family rooms in each toilet/shower block. The family showers allowed you to adjust the temperature, while the main showers operated with push-and-hold buttons. The main showers also had an attached changing area with a bench, which was useful for keeping your belongings dry while showering.

There were mops and squeegees available so you could clean up after yourself, although unfortunately not everyone did. This isn’t the site’s fault, though — we should all take responsibility for leaving shared facilities as we would expect to find them. There were also washing-up facilities and taps providing fresh drinking water.

For children, there was a play park and a sports field, which gave them plenty to do. The campsite is situated on a cliff top with direct access to the beach, which is around 50 steps down from the site.

One thing to be aware of is that the campsite does accommodate large groups. If you’re looking for somewhere particularly quiet or peaceful, this is worth considering. During our stay, we had a very large group of 50+ people around us. They spread out into the surrounding space and played volleyball and other games around our tent. We certainly wouldn’t begrudge them enjoying themselves, but it did become a little frustrating when the ball repeatedly hit our tent and cars — particularly when this started happening at around 7am! Again, though, this isn’t really the campsite’s fault.

The location is very convenient. Just a couple of minutes up the road there is an Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, The Range and various fast-food options, including Pizza Hut, Subway, Greggs and McDonald’s.

We also travelled around 15 minutes to Southwold beach, which was lovely, and around 15 minutes in the other direction to Lowestoft beach. Both had very different vibes but were equally enjoyable.

There is lots to do in the surrounding area, with plenty of attractions, beaches and days out within a short drive.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The campsite had spacious pitches, good facilities, easy access to the beach and a great location for exploring the surrounding area.

Disliked This is purely down to personal preference, but we tend to prefer smaller campsites that don’t allow large groups, as large groups can become a little overwhelming for one of our children who has sensory issues. However, this is very much a personal preference and not a criticism of the site. Other than that, we had no real issues during our stay and found it to be a lovely campsite.

Liked Theirs wasn't much I could complain about, I'm a first time camper and took 2 teen boys , struggling with the tent , not blow up either lol family nextdoor came to the rescue as the inside bits were floating,all good fun and part of the adventure. Totally out of my comfort zone, and I was in the hallway bit , exposed to grass and due , but didn't care . It was great fun , friendly people, and felt very safe and that I could go to the beach and not worry about our stuff . Although don't leave food out or the only thing stealing stuff is the seagulls .
Warden on site showed me where I could pitch as I had no clue , and staff were very helpful

Disliked Toilets wernt as clean as I'd have liked but I used it and was hot water and tbh for the price I was well impressed if that makes sense . Could have been more info on arrival , ie maybe menus with prices for the trucks on site and times .

Liked Friendly initial welcome. Easy to find. Near a lot of shops. Plenty of toilets and showers. Nice view of the sea if you can walk that far. Electric hook ups. Chip van although expensive. Burger van but never actually saw it open?!

Disliked The first pitch allocated to us was like a trailer park. Lots of residents were making the place look messy but not helped by awful stones which need replacing, weeds, dead grass, cigarette buts and rubbish around pitch. There was no way we could have got our awning up. I was so disappointed and upset. It needed a really good clean up. The view was of the next door's washing on an airer within their fenced area and to the other side the waste master. We felt like we were intruding. I complained and was eventually greeted by a warden with a list of available pitches. He asked if I was okay. I said no and his reply was, "oh okay". We chose a grass pitch next to a family who stayed up late talking loudly, a tent playing loud music, a Greek family and a Nigerian? Family both of who made a lot of noise until very late. Where were the wardens then?! Football was played on the grass next to our van despite their being a designated pitch across the road. The toilets and showers ask you to mop after use but we're never actually clean..one disabled toilet was missing emergency cords. Both disabled toilets/showers were heavily rusted, mouldy (with black mould) and in need of an update and intensive clean.
