What customers say
Great spot with beach access and sea views. Staff are friendly, facilities modern and clean, pitches spacious, and food available. Ideal for exploring. Some noise noted during busy times, and occasional hot water issues were handled by management.

A very enjoyable, quick, one night stop away to have a break.
Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Stayed on the Seaside tent pitch, so can’t really comment on the rest of the park. Large open field with some grassed banks to provide areas to pitch up to, but complete free will where to pitch, no designated space. Level and clean.
Shower block was clean, although had an aroma.
Could have had fish and chips on-site from mobile van for dinner, but went out instead, and the on-site breakfast van which we would have used today was closed 🙁
Lovely to have access to the beach and really enjoyed just sitting on the benches supplied at the top of the cliff with a mug of coffee looking out at the view.
Disliked Young children running ‘wild’ still at 10:30 in the evening, but saying that England were playing in the World Cup this evening, and noise from children is to be expected 🤷♀️

Overall likes the peaceful site but it needs more for people to return
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The location and its proximity to the beach.
The facilities were very clean and the Warden was very helpful.
Disliked There was very little on the site itself and no clubhouse. There are great little coffee and breakfast cans but there needs to be more. Maybe like a small bar where you can get lunch or dinner and it would be more social.

Great place to stay, plenty of space
Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Goodsized pitches, clean toilets/shower block. Friendly staff. Lovely walks along the coastal path along the cliffs. Buses outside run to Lowestoft, Southwold and Norwich and smaller villages in between. Quiet evenings with the 1100pm rule being adhered to (except the England football match night!)
Disliked No basin sink plugs or dish wash plugs, asked a member of staff and dish wash plugs had been ordered and were replaced later that day (although one disappeared overnight....why???). Very steep steps to beach.
