Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Good facilities! clean showers and toilet blocks. Ample cleaning space for dishes etc, good size pitches and friendly helpful staff. Food options on site and close to several supermarkets. Animal friendly although we didn’t bring one. Beach is down some significant steps but managed by most people. Once on the beach walk to the left and there is a calm somewhat shallow area for a swim. We did a sunrise swim and so did several others including families with children. We stayed in our bell tent so can’t comment on the accommodation on site. Other people seemed very pleased though.

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Good location just off the A12 Kessingland, very easy to get to. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Security controlled barrier upon entry. Very large site with various areas for motorhomes and tents etc. Good for moto camping with a motorbike. The shower and toilet block were kept clean and tidy during my stay. Very nice fish & chips available from the little hut by reception. Nice views of the sea from the cliffs. Well worth a visit and I would certainly stay here again. Many thanks.
Disliked: Barrier doesn't open upon exit for motorbike, sensor may not have recognised motorbike vehicle type?
