Best in Norfolk.

A nice, clean & friendly site on the northern edge of Great Yarmouth. Friendly & helpful wardens. Chip van visits twice a week. The pitches are almost level and the centre 'block' are quite roomy, I didn't however like the 2 row arrangement on the peripheral pitches, so would be disappointed if these were the only ones available when I arrived. The toilet/shower blocks are very clean & tidy, with roomy cubicles. The pub that was at the end of the road by the sand dunes / grassland has closed down so no local eateries within a short walk, About a mile into town and plenty of choice for eating and drinking.

The reason for the title of best in Norfolk is that my experience has been that most places on Norfolk are on a mission to take every last penny they squeeze from you, like charging £2.50 to park at a beach on north norfolk coast which is little more than loose rubble. and have pubs charge restaurant prices for preheated food that came off the back of a lorry. Here you can park on the seafront for free and have a decent beach to walk on, have a good choice of eating places &  Its dog friendly.

Bank Holiday Weekend at GY

Just had a great bank holiday weekend at Great Yarmouth (pardon the pun). The journey to GY is an easy drive / tow along good wide roads. The entrance to the site reception is easy to get to providing you arrive post 12.00. The previous reviews praising the wardens are spot-on – you will find a very warm relaxed welcome from practical wardens who understand the differing challenges and requirements of our caravan community. The site feels very wide and open and with our 9m motorhome it was easy to navigate to our desired pitch. Not all pitches are level; but we can recommend 101. The MWP is easy to access and the toilet block; plus wider facilities, are to the usual CC standard. Ice Cream man visits daily and fish & chip man turned up on Saturday – however, our waistline reduction plan barred us from sampling what was on offer ?. A 5-minute easterly walk and you arrive on the grassland that preempts the beach – fantastic for dog walking and viewing the shipping lanes. Some fellow campers opted for the local taxi service that took them into the heart of GY or Caister to enjoy the wider delights of the seaside. As we are less than 50 miles away this is a site we will continue to visit and hopefully we will time our next visit with a race meeting. We recommend you give this site a try.

Relaxing long weekend

Spent a long weekend here, our second visit. Fantastic welcoming non intrusive wardens who keep the site extremely clean and tidy. Location is great, bus stop opposite the entrance, short walk to the dunes which are alive with larks and crested larks singing for all they are worth, along with lots of other birds. Endless beach walks to Yarmouth itself half an hourish. with all the attractions of the front or lovely historic walk of the old town and a visit to the steam fishing boat, plus plenty more. Or off to Caister and beyond. There is a large Haven site nearby which may allow visitors. We also got to see Eric the seal who is a regular visitor - he was between the wind turbines and Britannia pier. The site is very quiet, the nearby helipad, which wasn't overly noisy, has gone so no noise at all. Eddie and Judy are really laid back and the whole atmosphere is relaxing - shame you have to leave it behind and return to the rat race. I'm sure we'll be back, hopefully when there is some racing.

Lovely site wardens very friendly would recommend to anyone. Didnt have to go out in car beach shops etc all in walking distance. Problem with electric going off three times saturday night comes back on after after short it was the whole site not just vans who used to much at once each van has its only trip button.so think mains box may have fault would go again

Family Site

Had a lovely Easter break at the site. Wardens were great - helpful and welcoming. The facilities were clean and well kept. Good location for getting the family about to visit Yarmouth and other local attractions. Within walking distance to take the children down to the beach for an evening stroll. It was just a shame that the electric kept going off in the evening, not the sites fault but our some of our fellow caravanners using far too much power. We felt quite sorry for the  uncomplaining warden having to keep coming out several times every night to reset the mains fuse. Also have to agreed with the previous comment regarding the dogs on the site being walked and toileted around the site, not pleasant but again not the wardens fault.

Ideal for families

An excellent family site offering plenty for children to enjoy, being close to the lovely beaches and of course all that Gt. Yarmouth has to offer. The wardens could not be more welcoming and the site and facilities are kept spotless. We really enjoyed our stay with our grandchildren. Only one negative, dogs were being 'walked and toileted' within the site, not pleasant to see or walk past (and not the wardens fault)
