What customers say
This campsite offers great value, right by the beach! Guests love the clean facilities, helpful staff, and spacious sites. The fish and chips are a hit. Steep beach steps aside, it's highly recommended with plans to return. Some note it can get busy and drainage could be better.

Good value for a winter stop over.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
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.

Good site if you want a winter break. It's getting a big tired though
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Good value for money pitch electricity included @£16 per night. Good facilities cleaned regularly well heated
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

Very good value for money
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Very good site and very reasonably priced . Amenities very clean.
Disliked We we’re opposite the toilet block unfortunately long term campers driving there and leaving engines running apart from the noise depending on the wind direction we could smell their fumes.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Very clean and warm toilet facilities.
Disliked Stones far too deep on pitch which made it impossible to get off. We had to get towed off by a tractor. This took a while and was embarrassing. Too many seasonal worker pitches who were up and about from about 5.30am slamming doors and leaving for work. We have enjoyed The Hollies previously but not this time. No sorry for the inconvenience of getting stuck or any offer of any distress and inconvenience refund.

Liked The Hollies is in a great location with access to a wonderful beach. The toilet & shower block were very well maintained & cleaned to a high standard. The reception staff & park warden were really helpful & friendly.

A good site in a great location at a reasonable price.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly efficient staff, well heated, clean, facilities block and plenty of hot water for showers. Very reasonable fees.
On-site fish & chips, also very friendly with good advice.
Direct access to the beach and on to Kessingland with good restaurant, pubs and more fish & chips!
Nice dark site, good for astronomy, but have a torch to hand at night.
Disliked The 92 steps to climb back up to the site from the beach(!), though they are very sturdy, just think of it as equivalent to your daily 5,000 steps :-)
A pity no WiFi, but made for a quiet weekend.
