Two night stopover.
Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite
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!
When they are watering the race-course the machine is quite nosy- tractor engine/pump running and the giant hose-reel is like a power hammer, however it’s probably a fairly infrequent process, we were unlucky.

Perfect for all
Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite
Perfect location for the races, beach, and town. There’s a bus or land train stop close by for easy access into the town. Peaceful, even on the morning before the races. Plenty of toilets and showers, nice flat pitch, and a friendly welcome and check-in; we really enjoyed our stay; thank you!
What has happened to this site?
Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite
We have brought our children and then grandchildren to this site for many years and always loved it. This year,in August, the site has lots of empty pitches and very few children for our grandchildren to play with. We thought this strange but perhaps due to cost of living issues. We spent a lot of time off site so didn't realise the actual problem for a few days, when we were subjected to the most horrendous noise untill 11.30 pm. The racecourse is watered at least once a day, not by towing a sprinkler round the course but by parking a running tractor, which then tows the sprinkler. The towing device makes a noise similar to hammering an anvil at 1 second intervals. Impossible to even think let alone sleep.
Resigned to having to put up with the noise, which is nothing to do with the site wardens We thought we would go out as much as possible. However, when using the male toilet block the next morning I found someone had voided their bowels on the floor of the toilet cubicle.
We will not be visiting again, though the wardens are lovely. The site is unusable.
Oh Dear…….
Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite
So we arrived 10 minutes early so waited until nearly 1pm before approaching the site office, there was no closed sign and there was someone in the office so I went in, well what a greeting “We are closed” the lady abruptly informed me, it was 3 minutes to 1pm. She then informed me that “1pm is 1pm”. So I waited outside quietly fuming. The site is ok, the ground is very rough and not pretty. Lois and showers are good. 7.30pm we found out there is a car race track up the road and the noise was horrendous until 10.30pm, couldn’t sit outside and even in the van with doors and windows closed it was very noisy, you can’t walk your dogs on the race track and we were told only 2 metres long lead. Then to top it off the race track staff were out at 8.00am strumming around all the fence posts around the track, then out came the site lawn mower, only good thing about this place was the location near the beach. Will not be going back
Lovely site
Great Yarmouth Racecourse Club Campsite
Lovely site, with clean facilities. Had a little issue with the cable when we arrived, apparently joining hook up cables is not allowed - first we've heard of it and we've used a lot of C&MH sites. Thankfully we had another cable that was long enough. Very long walk into the main town area but plenty of buses a short walk from the site to take you there. Typical seaside town, but have to recommend the Mermaid Bar within the Prom Hotel - food was fantastic. Disappointed that you were not allowed to walk your dog on the racecourse, Warwick Racecourse allow this. This however didn't stop us adding another night onto our visit. We were fortunate that there was Ladies Day at the Races on the Wednesday night and we could see the races from our pitch. We also had Scott Mills DJ on for a couple of hours afterwards. Might not suit everyone but it was lovely sitting outside the moho listening to the music. Would recommend and would go back.
