Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Very nice site, with some well looked after facilities (the toilets and shower blocks were very clean and well maintained). The location of the non electric pitches were great with direct access to the beach and the food vans (including the fish and chips, breakfast van, coffee van and ice cream man) were again welcome additions!

Disliked We did have some neighbours our first night who clearly did not know their campsite etiquette and were very loud still into the early hours of the morning. But, that isn’t the site’s fault.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a fantastic location close to the beach with friendly, helpful staff and a well-maintained, clean site. Spacious pitches and good facilities, including hot showers, are frequently praised. On-site food options like fish and chips and a coffee van are popular. While beach access involves steep steps, the views are beautiful. Some guests mention occasional noise, particularly during peak times, and a desire for an on-site shop. Wi-Fi availability is also noted as limited.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Walking distance to the beach
Clean facilities
Helpful staff
Peaceful (visited off season)

Disliked Long term pitches mixed with "normal" pitches wouldn't normally bother us, however when they take up a pitch and a half and look like the Clampetts live there, it does! Other long term's had lovely garden decorations, bird feeders, pretty lights up etc. This was unsightly and not the view we were expecting. Fortunately we were moved due to some pitch mix ups, (the staff were lovely) so that problem resolved itself. However it did lower the appearance of the site in my opinion.
Would return if we could select our plot.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nice place, cleaned and well maintained and friendly staff.

Disliked Wasn not happy that we were told to move so someone who would be gone before us could have the pitch for just a weekend. Pitch we were told to move to was not free, so we were then moved next to the bins which isnt the best location. The place sounds like an animal shelter at times as many dogs are jsut left to bark at other dogs to the point of ridiculous. Nobody seems to keep their dogs on leads or even attempt to shut them up when they go off.

Liked Shower & toilet blocks really clean and great facilities with nice hot showers. Great walk to the beach. The dogs loved the beach free running. Wardens exceptional and friendly. Great 24hour laundry room. Great wide pitch sizes. Couldn’t fault the site. Would recommend.

Local attractions

The Hollies is in a spiffing location to get to the best of Suffolk, Norfolk, the countryside and the Broads for a bit of whatever you fancy in boating, fishing, hiking, rainy day activities and family days out. Lowestoft, Southwold and Great Yarmouth are all within ten miles – Lowestoft is only about five minutes by car – and are all well worth a day trip each, as is lovely Norwich about an hour's drive to the north-west (services run regularly from Lowestoft Station too). Lowestoft has two theatres and a handful of small museums in Sparrow Park alongside the main Lowestoft Museum in Nicholas Everett Park; head to the library's local history section for more pics and info of days of yore. Lowestoft's lighthouse is probably its most well-known feature, but take time for a trip to Ness Point too, the most easterly location in the UK (just ask a Lowestoft local to point you towards Gulliver). If you're on hol with the kids, you'll find loads of family-friendly options in the area, like the Africa Alive animal park five minutes' drive from the Hollies (go here on a Sunday for a bonzer of a car boot sale) and the Pleasurewood Hills theme park about 20 minutes away. Kids might also like the wooden roller disco at Lowestoft's Claremont Pier, but if this doesn't have them wheeling around in joy, take them to walk the plank at the play park Adventure Island, or to see more species at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Park just outside Great Yarmouth. Finally, nautical sorts don't need to tie themselves in knots trying to find a craft to take care of, as fishing boats can be chartered near Kessingland for sea angling trips, and the Norfolk Broads Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is within easy reach to drift along wildlife-laden waterways.
