What customers say
Fantastic location with beach access & sea views! Staff are friendly, facilities clean, pitches spacious. Food's a hit. Minor notes on toilet cleanliness during peak times & steep beach steps. Good value, many want to return.

Definitely worth a visit.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice environment, with pleasant dog walks around the site and on the beach. Site of special scientific interest. Clean facilities and pleasant, helpful staff.
Disliked The showers could have been a little warmer, as could the heating in the shower block. There was no private washroom - all wash basins were public. The smell from the elsan emptying point was prevalent on the site on a few evenings.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked What a great site. It's very well maintained. Clean and tidy. Facilities are modern and clean. Great view and access to the beach. An onsite fish and chips van is a game changer, with many food options. Also a coffee van and a breakfast bar also. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay. Will definitely be going back!

Friendly reception staff & the sites facilities were very clean.
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked For our first time camping we got lucky, loved the fact that it was an open camp on the seaside pitch & we were told we could pitch up anywhere we liked, we parked & pitched up in a corner so the hedges would block out some of the wind & we ended up being the only campers in that part of the field. It was great, our 2 spaniels loved it as it was less than a 5 minute walk down the steps from the cliff top to Kessingland beach where they could run around & into the sea until they'd had enough! Very peaceful but then guess its quieter for this time of year but it was perfect for us. Close to other areas we wanted to visit while staying in Lowestoft We will definitely be returning.
Disliked Nothing really, only gave a 9 for facilities as the shower was cold on the day we were going but I believe it was being dealt with as we were leaving, the two days prior it was fine, lovely & hot.
It didn't bother us but but there is no WiFi on this part of the camp hence no rating for it.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked All of the staff we spoke to were very friendly and lovely. We had pitch B19 and although it was a little further to the reception, it was a couple of minutes walk maximum. The pitch was a good size, the site was clean and it was very peaceful. The fish and chip van was a bonus and we also ordered from Just Eat on another night and got it delivered to the main car park. Really lovely site and we would definitely stay again.
Disliked The men’s toilets in tent field had a smell to them, so we ended up using the other toilet blocks. The showers are lovely and hot, with lots of cubicles, however the push facility means you get about 5-10 seconds so have to constantly hold it which is a pain when trying to wash my hair.
