Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite is located in an excellent position next to the racecourse should you fancy a flutter and the famous 18-hole golf course offers hours of leisurely pleasure. The campsite is a mere 300 metres from the seafront, with a bus stop just outside the site entrance making it perfect for sunbathing in summer and long relaxing strolls. Also within the lively holiday resort of Yarmouth, visitors have access to a self-contained six-acre pleasure beach complete with countless traditional seaside attractions to delight both young and old.

With a bus stop just outside the site entrance there are many attractions within easy reach of Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite including the Yarmouth Time and Tide Museum, the Sea Life centre and Thirgby Hall Wildlife Gardens, which houses an interesting range of big cats, crocodiles and other reptiles. Moving inland from the campsite you will discover the Broads, popular for romantic boat cruises and the rolling unspoilt beauty of Britain's newest National Park. Great places to visit during a day trip to the Norfolk Broads include the National Trust site, Horsey Windpump and nearby coastal town of Sea Palling, which boasts a sandy Blue Flag beach.

This is a busy site on the outskirts of Great Yarmouth close to Caister. The site itself is in the centre of the horse racing course and when races are on the site staff sell half price tickets, some aspects of the races can be seen briefly from some of... Show more

Nice site within walking distance of beach and River Bure Park. Immaculate and plentiful facilities. The surface is rather uneven, so take a torch as most of the bollards are unlit and it is almost a dark-skies area!
