  • 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 Holiday 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).

Liked Extremely clean, very friendly staff, spacious pitches, absolutely perfect place to go. i just want to elaborate on the cleanliness by the way, our pitch was right next to the toilet/shower block and i swear to god someone came every hour to clean up and they did a good clean as well, ive never been to a campsite with such perfection for cleanliness.

Liked Lovely, well kept pitches. Toilet block was very clean and plenty of hot water. Staff were all helpful and engaged, went the extra mile. It’s a good location for walking and has a bus right outside for Southwold. We will be back. There is an onsite bar with good value pub meals.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked Very nice site. The pools were great fun and the booking for an hour was a good idea and gave everyone a turn. Showers and toilets all very clean. Large pitches were excellent, and parks and football grounds great for kids.

Disliked The bar needs to be looked at as there is no real atmosphere or anything happening hence not used hardly in the week. Friday they had bingo and ran out of glasses only minimal amount. Its a shame as its a very nice area and could be a great food and drinking place.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked I stayed camping for 3 nights, after reading a few bad reviews on here, I was a little nervous to go. However my experience was amazing, the staff were extremely helpful. My foot pump was broken so the maintenance man took them and blew up 2 beds for me. Reception lady was lovely and answered all my questions. The lifeguards were so kind and let my boys in early every session and were extremely polite ( even when asking them not to go down the slide head first), the man who kept the fishing lake, even gave us his own personal fishing rod to use as my sons one was no good. You couldn't have asked for a more friendly crew. The park was clean, bar was always opened, fishing was amazing, swimming was easy to book, so much for kids to do.

Disliked No pit fires was a big down full for us, the reception shop had nothing on its shelves and the main showers need a big update.

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.
