What customers say
Great beachside spot, clean facilities, and helpful staff get a big thumbs up! Spacious pitches and food vans are a hit. Access can be steep and noise happens, with minor gripes on showers/WiFi. Still, a top choice for a chill break.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Friendly staff, but staff need to be more visible, and enforce rules.
Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked Location, friendly welcome at check in. Love the coffee van, and chippy!
Disliked Up all night as a large group of lads set up next to us. Quiet rule not enforced at all. Other tents/adults up all night with music playing, cars starting, very loud noise. Ruined my stay unfortunately. Had quieter nights at festivals…

A great place to stay. Would definitely stay again in the future.

A lovely, relaxing few days away by the coast
Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked The most relaxing few days away. Pitched on the seaside field and could pitch where we like, we were one of three on the whole field so it felt like we had it to ourselves! So quiet and right next to the beach. Stairs are steep to beach but nothing to be too worried about, we walked for miles along the coast with our doggies which was lovely. Great amenities, coffee on site just a few meters away and two food huts (not open Sunday-Tuesday while we were there). Showers and toilets as expected, clean, tidy, nothing special but does the job! Close to local shops with everything you need, groceries, B&m, Homebase etc and Lowestoft and other towns just 15 minutes drive away. Great base! Fire pits and bbqs allowed, check out 10am but due to quiet period could leave when we wanted to which was great. We didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be returning, thanks again :)
Disliked Nothing!

Nice but could be better
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked The peaceful and friendly nature of the site. Toilets usually clean and plentiful washing up facilities
Disliked Toilet/shower blocks were sometimes a bit scruffy. Could perhaps be checked more regularly. And take a few of the rules and regulations signs down.
Wouldn’t change us to a grass pitch from hard standing siting a fully booked site. But there were lots of empty pitches. Not very helpful attitude.

Overall, a very pleasant, lovely campsite. Very happy customer
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked The size of the pitches were very big and spacious.
The very close proximity to an all year round dog friendly beach was spot on.
Everyone on the Site was very friendly and the staff very helpful.
We most definitely shall be returning.
Disliked Could do with a shop on site, but having said that, the village has several shops within a 5minute drive from the Site, so its not big deal.
