Great Facilities, lovely wardens

Stayed 4 nights as very close to home and we had only just collected our caravan. It's location makes it ideal for the beach or trips into the town. We stayed during a race meeting and enjoyed the thrill of the races and the live BeTles Tribute afterwards. The toilets and showers were very clean and overall I would say this is a perfect site for visitors to the town & horse racing lovers. Also, the very good links golf course at Caister.

Was not impressed initialy

We stayed here with our 11 year old grandson for 4 nights, having not been before. First impressions when we first saw the site on arrival were not good. However the lady warden we saw was very helpful and pointed out available pitches and suggested a couple that she thought may be the best. We settled on a pitch that did not seem to be as hemmed in as many of them were. Once set up and found our bearings we began to warm to the site slightly. Toilet and shower facilities looked fairly new and were clean, but we could not understand the reason for the design of having the wash basins at the very far end of the block, not handy at all for hand washing on the way out, and I noticed many people did not bother. Our biggest concern was the fact that on race days there was a period of 5 or 6 hours that the site gate was closed and vehicles were not allowed on or off the site, which meant that if we went out and were not back before the gate closed we had to find parking for the car on a street outside of the site, luckily after a bit of driving around we found somewhere not too far away, had it been raining it would have made matters worse for the walk back to the van. This is not the sort of thing you should have to plan for on holiday. There is no warning about this in the club book or web site, all it says is that no arrivals to the site on any race day. Unfortunately we were caught up in the road chaos caused by the fire in town, took us 1h 20m to do 3/4 mile when going home. Not the fault of the site I hasten to add.

A lovely friendly place to stay

The site was easy to find very clean and colourful and the staff were lovely, helpful and easy to talk to. The facilities were always clean and easy to access and use. A smallish site but well laid out and easy to get in and out. The children enjoyed the park, a bit small, would have been nice to have an area to kick/throw a ball about. Easy access to sea front and notice of food van on nights they came. Had a lovely time there and will recommend to others. Excellent place to explore the Broads from. Thank you

Good walks

We have a motorhome and dogs so the fact that this site is very close to the coast with a dog friendly pebble beach nearby is excellent. There is a huge holiday park nearby with entertainment if you want to join in. Just a 5 minute walk is a great pub, good prices and dog friendly. There is a regular bus service to great Yarmouth which is a good place for families. The site is lovely and the older lady warden was extremely friendly. The local area is a little run down which is a shame as it is a good all round site.

Great few days

It feels nice and spacious here. All the pitches are on grass overlooking the racecourse and I just wish we'd chosen a race day. Oh well, perhaps another time. We were lucky with the weather and temperatures soared to the highest point so far this year. Buses run from just outside the site to the centre of Great Yarmouth and there is a co-op located less than 10 minutes walk away. Ideal for supplies. We elected to walk into Great Yarmouth along the coast road. It takes about half an hour and, if you walk across the sand dunes, you can also walk along the beach to the pier and main attractions. A nicer feel to this option but it takes slightly longer due to the soft sand. One of the things that surprised me was just how nice the beach is at Great Yarmouth. It is sometimes referred to as the Norfolk equivalent of Blackpool but I preferred the soft sand here to the hard sand in Lancashire. One thing the resorts do have in common is a Pleasure Beach, Winter Gardens and tacky seaside shops. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.

Great weekend

We had a lovely friendly welcome, pitched up with no issues and enjoyed our weekend. The showers and toilets are some of the cleanest I've experienced. Good location for Great Yarmouth. Lots of beaches allow dogs so great for walks.

Great Great Yarmouth

Phoned first to see if any pitches available, spoke to a very helpful lady who said there was room for us. Planned to stay 1 night & ended up staying for 3(wish it could have been more) The site is spotlessly clean as are the toilets etc. Lovely wardens, who were extremely helpful at all times. Going back again next year & we can't wait
