  • Family-friendly Suffolk holiday park on the edge of Kessingland
  • Africa Alive five minutes’ drive; Great Yarmouth half an hour
  • Three swimming pools, fishing lake, tennis court, playground and bar
Do you like to be beside the seaside? Heathland Beach Caravan Park might have just made it to the top of your wish list, then. This holiday park is on the outskirts of Kessingland (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), a coastal village with a sand and shingle expanse dotted with marram grass tufts. Unleash the kids on this Suffolk beach, and who knows – they might come back to you bearing gifts of a fossil nature. But before you head out for a day on the sand, check out the facilities at this tree-shaded site, starting with not one, not two, but three outdoor swimming pools, including one with a twisty waterslide that ought to keep the kids busy while you relax on a poolside sun lounger, sipping a cold brew from the bar. Children can also make new friends in the enclosed adventure playground, a huge sandpit with wooden structures for climbing and balancing. There’s also an all-weather tennis court (you can hire the necessary equipment on site) and, for a more meditative experience, a well-stocked fishing lake (please note you’ll need a licence). Spacious pitches all come with electric and water hook-up. In addition to a well-maintained toilet and shower block, there’s a communal barbecue area; you can source food supplies in Kessingland, which also has a handful of fish and chip shops and takeaway restaurants (and a skate park for the kids).

Electric grass pitch

Liked Its a lovely, organised and clean caravan park. We had great time in the pool and the playground for the kids.
The green area in the place is peaceful and nice. And good location to pubs and food places. Also every pitch has electricity and drinking water station which was useful.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Fabulous sized pitches, our pitch was nice and open and close to the amenities. With 2 bathroom blocks, never had to wait for a bathroom and I liked the fact that they were bathrooms with shower, toilet sink in the one space, works well with children.

Staff were friendly and approachable, site was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend.

Local attractions

Cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos and flamingos are among the residents at Africa Alive (five minutes’ drive). Experiences at this conservation zoo range from ‘keeper for the day’-type affairs (where kids help to feed and clean the animals) to close encounters with lemurs and meerkats, and feeding sessions with the giraffes. Birdwatchers make a beeline for Benacre National Nature Reserve (10 minutes), a breeding site for dozens of bird species, including marsh harriers, woodlarks and ducks. Carlton & Oulton Marshes (15 minutes) is another top nesting site, home to several types of warblers, plus lots of dragonflies. Known for its wide sandy beach, Great Yarmouth (half an hour) also has the historic Britannia Pier, with old-fashioned rides (think dodgems and carousels) and more modern ones, like bungee trampolines. Check out the maritime collections at the Time and Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life or the penguin enclosure at Sea Life Great Yarmouth aquarium.
