Lovely peaceful site
A last minute booking here due to cancellation of a cruise amid the COVID-19 crisis. The site is midway between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft near the village of Hopton which boasts a Co-op, newsagent and a couple of pubs. It also has a number of holiday parks and access to the beach is here. There is a regular bus service going both ways so good for those with passes.
Arrived on site which already had two vans and two motorhomes sited. Mr Taylor was very helpful indicating where we could pitch. The site is large with ample places to pitch on grass (which was cut during our stay) as long as your lead allows. There is also some hard standing available although these don’t give as much space. I think early booking is advisable as the site is popular.
The site has 3 water taps and suitable bins, with an Elsan further away. We pitched along the southerly hedge which gave some cover from the wind. There is some farming debris which although unsightly doesn’t spoil the site at all.
We recommend Gorleston for the beach (use the Links Road) which has ample free parking and Lowestoft for shopping. Had the weather been better we would have made use of the ample cycle trails however we did venture down to a Southwold which is a hidden gem - a very quaint Victorian seaside complete with pier, and sand dunes. Reasonable parking charges during the season. Oulton Broad is a nice nearby place to visit with pubs, tea shops and a lovely park.
We will return here during summer as the site and area have a lot to offer and at only £10 per night including EHU, a bargain too.
