Great site, beach access, spotless facilities, big pitches, lovely staff. Food on-site, good value. Steep beach steps, can be busy. Relaxing vibe, great spot, people are coming back.

Excellent site with clean facilities and friendly staff.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Everything. Especially the fish and chips.
Great position for exploring locally and into Lowestoft.
Plenty of room on pitches. All facilities available and working.
Warm and friendly welcome in reception and very helpful park rangers.
Decent bus service nearby.
Would definitely recommend.
Disliked Car appearing in front of our pitch at what looked like a seasonal or permanent tent/caravan pitch adjacent at 1.30am with lights on and engine running and woken by loud chattering.
Maybe a better idea to put seasonal/permanent pitches in one area. Also, surprised vehicles were allowed to enter/leave site at that hour.

Excellent site with the most incredible views.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Second stay at The Hollies. We were given a good sized pitch with electric hook up. We found the toilets were immaculate as were the showers. There are water points near to every pitch and plenty of places to sort your rubbish. Fish and chip van on site wasn’t open on the night we stayed but the very helpful staff on reception gave us takeaway menus for places that deliver straight to Reception to collect. The views are incredible and the site was clean.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We were one of four tents so we had ample space. The toilets and showers were very clean. The site was quiet. Camped on my own with my daughter and felt safe as the park warden was very active. 100% will be booking again for the summer

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Fantastic campsite. Everything you wanted near by. We loved the Hollies. We be back again

Had a really nice stay, toilets very clean.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Peaceful,friendly staff. Shops nearby.
Disliked We were given a grass pitch but we booked hard standing with pitch up. Apparently as we didn’t book direct with them it’s a hard standing or grass! So very disappointing. Also need more dog poo bins and better signage for water facilities as they didn’t match the map.
