What customers say

Top campsite, friendly staff, clean facilities, beach nearby. Pools & evening entertainment a hit with families. Some minor feedback on dated amenities, cleanliness, and a few muddy pitches.

Liked Had an amazing holiday here in our tent. Lovely site. Right near the beach, great for walks. Saw the sunrise. So much to do on site. Loved Joes American grill and the chippy. Saw sparkles the bunny show and played bingo. Outdoor pool great. Definitely coming back. Went into Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. Must see is the Hippodrome Circus. Amazing.

Disliked Toilets could do with a few more cleans a day. Use more bleach and air freshener. Would be a good idea to leave a squeegee mop, so people can mop up the water after a shower, as the water runs into the middle between the showers and toilets.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I liked that it’s a very big place, and we didn’t feel alone in the middle of nowhere.

Disliked There are more things we didn’t like about this place. Firstly, the toilets were quite far from the tents and not in great condition. To access the swimming pool, we had to wait almost an hour at the entrance. The staff member checking our pool passes told us we could only enter at 2 o’clock, so we were left waiting. In the meantime, we tried to sit on the chairs by the outdoor pool, but another staff member asked us to leave, saying their policy doesn’t allow anyone to stay there before the opening time. Even when I asked if at least the children could sit, he insisted we leave.

On top of that, the sea is quite far away, the beach is full of stones, and there was also dog waste around, which made it unpleasant. Overall, I don’t recommend this place at all. We really disliked our stay and will not come back again.

Disliked Toilets were a 2/5. Often had pee on the seats, no loo roll or soap.
Showers were lukewarm warm with flashes of hot.
Chip shop on site was mediocre.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The campsite area was well kept & tidy. Pitches quite close together but ok. The staff were all friendly and helpful in all areas. The restaurant food was a decent standard. Activities were all booked up online before we even arrived but we did always manage to get a walk-in at the swimming pool. But crazy golf etc available. Nice beach. Good location with plenty to do in the area.

Disliked The toilet/shower block needs updating and the hot water runs out. It is also quite a walk from the camping area and set nearer the static caravans that don't need it, so really feel an additional block needs to be provided in the camping area. The wait/queue in the restaurant could be lengthy so must be worse on the weekends, but the staff do their best.

Liked The entertainment was good plenty for the kids to do. The food outside of the entertainment venue was cheaper and better in my opinion.

Disliked The state of the toilet and shower block on the camp was absolutely disgusting and the smell was horrendous smelt like pure urine and faeces. The guy who was cleaning the shower block the five days I was there does not have a clue. The multiple times I see him “clean” consisted of wiping down the sides with a cloth no cleaning products in sight and the floor was wiped over with a red towel over a floor squidgy thing no mop and bucket. Tooth paste splatter on the mirrors all week and The poo stains in the toilet were literally there all week as well the same ones!! I’m surprised we never came home with some sort of bacteria infection or viral disease it really is that gross. Also the pressure of the showers was good but be prepared for a hot and cold mostly cold shower so If your camping and need a shower go to the swimming pool showers hot and clean

Local attractions

The nearby seaside towns of Lowestoft (15 minutes' drive) and Southwold (20 minutes) are among the most charming in the country: think fab family beaches, candy-coloured beach huts, piers and proms, plus buckets and spades of old-school charm. Aim for the former if you're after a bit of watersports action, or pick the latter for chi-chi shops, a zany pier attraction and seafront walks to Walberswick. Swap beaches for beasties with family outings to see the exotic beasts roaming the plains of Suffolk at Africa Alive! (five minutes), or seek out seahorses, sharks and penguins at Sea Life Great Yarmouth (35 minutes). For wildlife of a more local variety, nip up to the waterways of the Norfolk Broads (half an hour) where you can become captain of your own boat for the day (or take a tour if you're unsure of your navigational expertise…) For family fun on a grand scale, head to Pleasurewood Family Theme Park (25 minutes); at the opposite end of the spectrum is the tiny townscape at Merrivale Model Village (35 minutes). And somewhere in the middle is the swish Victorian pad at Somerleyton Hall (half an hour), where both mansion and gardens are worth a stroll.
