  • 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).

What customers say

A popular spot with great pitches & staff. Families loved the pool, play areas & beach access. Most praised cleanliness, but some found showers dated. Steep steps to the beach. Highly recommended for family holidays.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Clean site and big spaces. Location was perfect and was a lovely walk to the beach

Disliked Turned up with no record of booking however the lady in reception was very helpful but left wondering whether I had over paid as used this site to book.
The restaurant was shut the days we were there. There was no notice of this anywhere online for the opening times which I think is very bad for the price of the pitch.
Also the card machine wasn’t working and cash only. Again could have been pre warned of this.
Also paid twice for the WiFi as said first payment didn’t work but clearly did.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Liked the site very much, it was quite diverse with a club, fishing, play area, good ablutions and was very clean and neat.
Staff were very friendly and we were met at reception by efficient staff. The club was just right for the setting and very welcoming.

Disliked Only issue was we arrived before season and they were busy cutting the grass etc, which was quite noisy during the day time but was understood as to why

Electric grass pitch

Liked Big pitches; location; organisation; pool; site layout;

Disliked Toilet/shower facilities could do with an update - or a deep clean.
Although pool opening times were advertised at reception, it didn’t say that within those times some are limited to static home owners.

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.
