How child friendly is is

–

Campsite was very busy, quite noisy but ok. The facilities were clean ish showers etc were ok. Very noisy at night.

Receptionist when we arrived wasn’t very welcoming at all and this will be the basis of why we won’t stay again, very unfriendly and came across quite rude.

Loved the location, lots of places to visit that were both within walking distance and a short drive away. The staff were really friendly. Events and organised activities were all ran very well and smoothly. The price for our stay was very reasonable and made for a great week away for us. We hope to return again or potentially visit one of the other Park Dean resorts nearby in the future.

The shower block for both male and female ran extremely hot to the point of nearly burning us on multiple occasions. We heard from other visitors that they had similar experiences too. This made morning starts a bit hectic to try and get showered. There is also a farm or maybe a household next door to the area of the campsite that we were staying at which had a cockerel that loved to wake us up at 4:30am each morning, which obviously is nothing against the resort but something to be mindful of if you stay here in a tent towards the edge of the campsite (we were at pitch #42).

Plenty of space. Clean park. Cheap secure parking.

Cleanliness, proximity to Burgh Castle and walls near marshes. Very good value for the money paid. Staff friendly. All the cleaning facilities worked well and were regularly checked. I could get 5G reception on my phone.

Site a bit tired looking. Was disappointed that booking extra time was not allowed as there were issues that reception staff could not resolve.

We visited earlier than last year so the site was pretty quiet. However the entertainment was still on and good. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Outdoor pool was well kept and warm. A very good value site with great deals on breakfast.

What was bad this year was their new ID verification process. We got the usual Pitchup booking confirmation which was good and then an email from Parkdean saying I needed to provide photo id and a current selfie photograph to a third party company to verify my identity or they might cancel the booking?! None of this was on Pitchup. Parkdean already had my name, address, email, phone number and vehicle registration so I asked why they needed the rest and what risk was it meant to deal with. They couldn't answer so I escalated my complaint to the CEO. At this point they were more customer focussed but still did not know why it was necessary but said since I was already a customer they would waive it as I was not prepared to send pictures but would show id when asked at arrival. When we booked in the lady on the desk was excellent; the site info ready and no id asked for! So for us Parkdean will be off our list until the abandon their new process.

quiet place plenty of good walks friendly staff

weather was was not to our liking this time, however thats not a fault of parkdean

Close to all amenities. Clean site.

Swimming pool closed too early on Friday.

First I have to say every member of staff we spoke to was simply amazing so helpful, and could not seem to do enough. Evening entertainment was second to non and kept our kids well entertained. Outdoor pool was brilliant staff again made it even more fun by throwing and splashing water on kids. Indoor pool was more than enough got, very busy when whether turned bad. Close drive to Morrisons and retail park about 10 mins drive into Great Yarmouth good size pitches, toilets and showers kept clean. Had an amazing mini holiday in a beautiful part of the country.

Not disliked but as to be expected, touring field looked a little drab grass was non existent in certain parts, toilets are a little dated. I am not sure if I missed it but I thought it would have been on the pre arrival email highlighted and bold there is a width restriction coming out of Yarmouth to the site if u go down the retail park past the Ford garage.

Location near Burgh castle & interesting walks. Easy access to public transport to places such as Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Lowestoft and other surrounding places of interest.
Free entertainment , use of sports facilities and restaurants.
The actual touring pitch was well serviced and toilet facilities clean. The whole place suited our needs. It was really cheap to stay here.

We read the reviews about the showers & the push button that you have to keep pressing. I found a few of the shower cubicles press buttons stayed on for a few seconds. You can use a teaspoon to jam in button to keep the water running.
