Burgh Castle Marina and Caravan Park

Now in our third generation of management by the same family, we are going through a makeover as a lodge park for private owners. When completed, it will be a luxury hideaway for up to two hundred holiday home and boat owners in a stunning and peaceful Broads riverside setting. Burgh Castle Marina & Holiday Park is also an ideal location for camping in Norfolk. We welcome campers and Tourers with a choice of standard, hook-up & super pitches available. We also have a designated disabled pitch. Our short-stay facilities are open from Easter to the end of October each year. Our 45 pitches are laid out on flat, well-drained turf with plenty of room for parking alongside and for an awning or pup tent, for which we make no extra charges. Seasonal tourer pitches, both grass and hard-standing with grass alongside are available. Our heated amenity buildings include toilets, free hot showers, hair dryers, baby changing facilities, a spacious and well equipped disabled suite, a vegetable preparation and washing up room with complimentary freezer storage for ice packs and a token-operated laundrette. There is a small children\'s outdoor play area. We are also unique in being able to offer our guests the opportunity to moor their own boat in our privately owned Marina. We have our own pub/restaurant on site which over looks the river Waveney and is just a short stroll from the spectacular Roman fort ruins. The reception area includes a free lending library, as well as extensive tourist information literature and our own local Explorer guides. Please note that we cannot accommodate any pets.
