great wardens

Sadly our stay at this lovely site has come to an early end. hopefully we will return after June. I cannot praise the wardens enough. They were professional throughout our short stay. Both have fantastic personalities and work hard to keep the site clean and tidy. The artistic touches are something to be looked forward to.

Fantastic Time at GY Racecourse

I have stopped at the racecourse site a number of times this year. The welcome you get by the wardens is so nice, and they will be missed next year. Facilities are immaculate, so clean. I tend to pitch away from the main toilet block as travel with 3 cocker spaniels so are normally out on the right hand side of the site as you drive in. For me coming to Great Yarmouth is like going home as my Dad came from Gorleston. I love it, you are close to the bus stop if you need to go into town or out to Caister. You only have to walk across the old railway bridge and the sea and Denes are in front of you. Once you are down on the beach you can walk for miles both ways and no restrictions on dogs until you get past the Britannia Pier in GY. You can also catch the Landtrain that runs from the Haven site to Britannia Pier, either by flagging them down or catching on the way back, and they are so good at dropping me off at the Iron Duke (which is an old pub that has seen better days). Love the place so much that I plan to move there, but for now I've got my dates for 2020 and can't wait for the site to open again.

Great site apart from chip van

Excellent site great for family fun days on a race day. Shame that when we arrived we found that a chip van was on site on the Saturday. We decided to give it a try and wish we hadn't. I have a lactose intolerance and asked the woman who it transpired was the daughter. She had no idea so asked the man that was cooking it who I found out was the father. Well I'm glad I don't have a dad like that. He was very obnoxious towards her and didn't care that I was asking, he wasn't prepared to even check. My husband is a very tolerant man but on this occasion even he couldn't deal with the attitude. So we walked into town and tried a few chip shops but they couldn't accomodate me but were very helpful. We ended up in McDonald's! However this would not stop us from coming back to the site we just won't be going to the chip van. The wardens were great too.

Comment from the Club:

The owner of the chip van has been in touch as he was very concerned to read your review and wanted to clear up any misunderstanding as he works hard to ensure his customers are happy with their service. He misheard you and thought you had asked for gluten free batter which unfortunately they don't do. He thought he had advised in a friendly manner that unfortunately they didn't have gluten free batter but apologies if you thought this was not the case.

Good site and wonderful wardens.

This was our second stay this year. Lots to do in the area and our grandchildren love it. Although we use our own facilities there is a spotlessly clean toilet block with washing cubicles and showers,which is heated. The reception sell ice cream, toilet fluids etc. and the adjacent static site has a small supermarket. The wardens are very friendly and helpful without over regulation. I was ashamed to see that other site users made life difficult for them by putting dog poo and the remains of take-away food in recycling bins, as well as shards of broken glass. We also experienced two race days and a Beatles tribute band whilst there, at no cost.

Fantastic site and staff

We have stayed at this site every year since we bought our caravan 13 years ago. It suits our needs for facilities and variety of things to do at Great Yarmouth and around. The site and the facilities are spotless. I use the disabled room for my son, which is a very good size and has all the facilities you need. Over the years we have had to ask the site for help for different issues/problems and they have always been very helpful and friendly. You can't drive through when the races are on (understandably), so we just work our way around it - it isn't a problem. It's actually quite nice to hear the entertainment that follows the races on some evenings - it isn't too loud to be annoying on the part of the site we usually set up. Unfortunately, the only thing that will stop us coming, or reduce the time we spend here, will be the cost - they have just increased the cost this year which is forcing us to reluctantly look at CL sites - otherwise we would be back here like a shot.

Excellent Visit

I visit Great Yarmouth regularly to visit my ageing mother. This site is perfect for my needs. Extremely friendly and helpful staff (this time it was the relief crew who looked after us). A good walk into the town centre but it's on the end of a regular bus route as well if you don't fance walking. It's just perfect for what I need it for. many many thanks

Impressed

We had tickets for a race meeting and decided this would be ideal and it was!! A nice clean neat and tidy site, well maintained with polite and helpful staff. A good 20/30 minutes walk from Great Yarmouth, but the buses run regular both ways to Caister and G.Yarmouth. Beach is about 10 minutes walk. A pub that does meals 5 minutes walk away. I was well impressed and would recommend. The weather being hot was a lovely addition to a relaxing few days.

Peaceful, easy access to beach

Wardens excellent, nothing too much trouble. Even though did not purchase ticket for race night, did feel the exciting atmosphere Dogs loved the site - easy walk to a quiet beach. Will visit again, may not be pretty but it is functional 1 given for family as there is no option for n/a and I am not looking at the family accessibility
