What customers say
Great spot by the beach, with helpful staff and clean loos. Pitches are ace. Fish and chips a hit! A few grumbles about steps, busy times, showers and road noise, but mostly a ripper stay.

Lovely camp site in a beautiful location. We would definitely go again

Liked Pitches were spaced out well. Staff very friendly. Fantastic fish and chips shop on site on a Wednesday. The bathrooms were very clean and we saw so many staff members keeping them tidy and clean throughout the whole day. It was super muddy out and only once did I see muddy footprints in the shower block. In a lovely location.
Disliked The pitch we was on got very muddy even though it was hard standing, it was like that when we arrived and got worse as we stayed. It made it very wet and muddy inside the awning. But we were there during storm Pedro and its winter time. So I can put it mostly down to that.

We really enjoyed our stay at…
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked We really enjoyed our stay at the Hollies. Our pitch was level and spacious and not too close to other people. The shower block was a very short walk and it was absolutely sspotless which was amazing because it poured of rain and it was so muddy. The poor cleaner was constantly mopping the floor but he was so easy going and polite. It's a few steps to the most beautiful unspoilt beach but bear in mind there's lots of wooden steps down to the sand. There was only two other people on the beach when we walked and you can walk for miles. When we arrived the warden was friendly and helpful. The washing up facilities are great and the the toilet waste area was super clean. There is a 24 hour laundry on site but we didn't use it. The next morning we drove 10 minutes to Lowestoft beach. We had a lovely time and would definitely visit again.

Good site, friendly staff. Hard pitches are level.
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Of course this time of year it was Quiet on site, lovely staff. Access directly onto the beach. {90 odd steps so not for the unfit or elderly like my pup!} Site is just off main road, so easy to find and easy access to local facilities, supermarkets and food outlets 3 mins away. Toilet block was clean and warm.
Disliked The site roads are a bit pot holed but you're driving slow so not too bad, unfortunately it was made worse by terrible weather but the pitch was level and drained well. The toilet block was ok but could do with an air freshener of change of cleaning chemical.

Good value for a winter stop over.
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Location, price and the friendly welcome.
Disliked Smell in the toilet block. The block appeared to be very clean, however they smelt like a public toilet which put me off using the showers. Some air freshener or change of toilet cleaning chemicals would easily change this.

Disliked Site is not the most attractive but if is winter. Be prepared for a large quantity of non tourers of all types. The pitch we had was in a corner with little privacy
