Lovely spot with private beach view from cliff with steps down.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location and cliff/beach.
Clean throughout.
Staff friendly and welcoming.
Offers longer term siting for those this might be of interest to.
Chip shop and cafe van, both used and both good quality and value for money, however limited opening times. Cafe only sat and Sunday mornings and chip shop section only around 4 times slots a week so some days no food available to buy on site.
Disliked Unreliable bus network (clearly nothing the site has any control over but is a factor if people are hoping to head out to Lowestoft etc)
Lacking in quanity of bathroom facilities. Luckily I did ask for and was given a site close to one of these but is something to bear in mind when booking. The facilities are good but only only 2 blocks for around 3 fields. One was closed for some reason on my second day do then only one block for everyone. Might be an idea to add a few portable loos in other locations around the site?
I didn't explore the area outside of the site much (as 3 x buses didn't turn up and Uber had no drivers available) so unsure whether shops or places to eat nearby. Didn't spot any.

Liked Loved it all, peaceful, and restful, amenities are brilliant and clean. Reception and all staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Disliked Bit noisy near the bins as we backed onto bins and cars don’t keep to 5mph and wheels spinning the stones up on to our caravan.

Great site, lovely location and really good value
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Love how close to the coast this site is. Fabulous views great spot for watching the sunrise . Great for birdwatchers . Lovely flat pitches, super clean toilets and showers ( with nice hot water and decent pressure) Fish and chip van do great fish and chips ( cooked in beef fat) Not too far from Lowestoft town centre , in fact its a lovely walk along the beach which takes a good 45 minutes or slightly longer if you leave the beach at the holiday park and visit the pubs along the way :) We had came a couple of weeks ago with some mates and loved it so much we came again on our own.

Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The Hollies is in a great location and within walking distance of a pebbled beach. The reception staff are very friendly and the toilet/shower blocks are spotless. A freezer available for refreezing cool packs and a hut for phone charging. There’s also coffee huts and an onsite fish and chip shop,
Disliked The site rules issued on arrival states ‘dogs are requested to be kept under control’. Although our dog was under control and is very well trained, the ‘Park Police’ in his blue van put a stop to his ball play.
