Good Site

Very warm friendly welcome from staff. We booked an extra 2 nights.Facilities were kept clean. We was there on a race day, which was exciting to watch. Beaches are fab. Bus stop outside the site to Great Yarmouth only less then 2 miles. Proper sea side town with donkey rides on the beach. Site was very quite while we were there. My real criticism is that on our last day, while using the women facilities to shower. A lady was in the block with her Dog!! IS THIS ALLOWED? Never experienced this before on ANY club site. Left a polite note to wardens when we posted key back so they were aware.

Don’t arrive early you get told off !

We arrived at 12.56 after travelling many miles we pulled up after finding our way. We just turned off the engine when the male site warden told us we had arrived too early (4 minutes!) having travelled 200 miles plus if we did it again would turn us around, report us to head office and take our number plate. His tone was that of. Headmaster speaking to his pupils ! I was fuming ! A polite greeting would have been nice. Site itself, usual standards of the club , lots of dogs being walked off leads , some consideration for the horses, as it is a race course! However, not every guest staying knows the difference between black waste and clean water. My husband caught a man using the clean tape to wash out his toilet container! When challenged he said I only want some water. Absolutely disgusting. I won’t return to this site

Not as good as normal unfortunately...

Well not sure what happened we use site quite regularly but this time it was so quiet for time of year? Never been to a site camc or other when someone's not going round on a lawnmower? I know grass is pretty dead but still needs tidying up didn't look great... racecourse has told site no dogs on any part of their area, you used to be able to use green area as you come in but no more. So have to go completely off site or walk around site... which people were doing, lm ok with that when its quiet but sure some wont like it? So is the site going to make a small dog walk area? Didn't see much of wardens but they were friendly when did... just hope we're not loosing this site??

Want to staybon

We are booked to move on otherwise we would be staying here! Can’t fault the site, staff or location. Racing was a good experience, course staff very friendly, buses outside site, beach down the road. The facilities on site were a pleasure to use.

Great, Great Yarmouth

We visited in October specifically to see the racing and it was brilliant and a great atmosphere. We were lucky with the weather too and did lots of walks - along the seafront into Yarmouth and also the other way to Caister. There was some good walks in the information room & the warden kindly photocopied one for us. We took the bus out to Burgh castle and had lunch at the Queens Head which was a lovely meal and then walked back into Yarmouth along the riverside. There is a nice country park near to the site - Bure Park with the riverside and you can walk into Yarmouth alongside the river too.

Never again!

Arrived Friday on the bank holiday weekend for 3 night stay. Left very early on the Sunday as could no longer stand the noise. We would have left after one night but we had family commitments locally. Kids playing around the caravans and cars including croquet! Noise from before 0700, not the relaxing stay we were looking for. Complete waste of money. Site staff advised. No action taken.

Disappointed reception

Was greeted by a lady informing us we were 20 minutes early so turn round and park on the beach road, no hello can I help you. Yes we were early but a bit of compassion would have been nice,our baby was crying as he was hungry but again come back at 13.00 it’s on your email !!! Will not return to site

Easily accessible site close to beaches

Having received a check call to confirm my arrival time, sadly unanswered as I was driving I arrived in time before closure. Friendly staff, plenty of info about the site, both good and bad. WiFi not recommended so rather disappointing. Single toilet block but no problems with queues during the long opening times. Although good for dogs a lot of signs state dogs not allowed but maybe some were only on race days. Plenty of info and offers for places to visit in the wider area. Good site for all ages.

3day relaxing break

This site was excellent all facilities were spotless, the wardens were friendly and had time to chat and everyday were busy changing over old wood for new and making the site look better. An added bonus was horse racing which did not impact on getting in and out of the site just a short delay if race was in progress. The walk into Great Yarmouth town centre was approx 30/40 minutes and a shirt walk from site is caster dunes and beach which is dog friendly. We would return for a short break

Great Great Yarmouth

Hi we booked this site for an easter break with our grandkids, They are crazy about horses so we were all waiting for Tuesday Race day, A word of advice if you are a novice reverser like me choose your pitch carefully as some are not flat but great for views across the race track. The facilities were spot on, the wardens were super friendly and helpful. Another word of advice Great Yarmouth Seafront gets proper busy so get there early to find a parking and carry pound coins or use the parking app. Caister beach we found very close and seemed more sheltered than Yarmouth. Race day arrived, the warden came to our pitch and explained the race day routine and 1/2 price tickets and kids go FREE, Yipeee....... It was a great day. Once again Thank You to the Team at Great Yarmouth Site for keeping everything so great, will definitely see us again.
