Mostly excellent with minor issues

Overall the site is in a great location and we are regular visitors. The site is well maintained with friendly staff who are always available and helpful. We take two young grandchildren and it is a shame that the play are which is very small is also quite sad with facilities. One square climbing frame. That's it. The site does attract a lot of grandparents and parents with young children and I feel more should be available at the prices charged.Also an issue on the last visit was a strong smell of sewerage which was explained to me as being a drain behind the site that goes into the sea and is worse after heavy rainfall. It was quite invasive but we have visited before and although evident was not as bad. I feel if you are nearer the sea side of the site you will be less affected. I am making this sound an unattractive site but I would reiterate that it is otherwise spotless and very well placed.

Great first visit

Wouldn't normally use a site so close to home but really glad we did. From arrival and interaction with the great, informative and hard working wardens to our pitch on the beach side and even the weather conspired to give us an excellent time. The grandtwins enjoyed the caravan, the site and the direct access to the beach. All facilities we well kept and everything worked as it should. Kessingland is a great location for visiting some of the local attractions from Africa Alive, the Transport Museum and of course Pleasurewood Hills. For me the beach around the sluice was an excellent place to spot wildlife. Would definitely stay again

Friendly site...

This site is split in two, the main larger section with the reception area is on the right as you approach from Beach Road, and the second smaller part is opposite, adjacent to the beach. You need to book in at the main section before driving round to the beach-side location. I stayed 5 days on the main section and was very satisfied. Quiet, clean, well-maintained with fairly spacious pitches, dog-friendly and I had no complaints with the amenity block - hot water & clean & tidy. The dog walk is behind the amenity block. The lovely St Edmunds Church, with its partially thatched roof, is a 15/20 minute walk away and Kessingland is a quiet, unassuming town. My only slight gripe is the amount of washing lines on view on the campsite - I've never seen so many - a lot of them weren't tucked away out of sight but in full view. I could see 3 near me whilst sitting in my awning. Otherwise, an excellent site.

Never dusappoints

Just love this site. Close to beach, pub and an excellent restaurant close by, but need to book in advance. Fish and chip shop, tea room and gift shop also very close. The site is always pristine, a dog wash on beach side. There's even a trough with fresh herbs growing for campers to use. We have been there several times, the wardens are always so friendly and welcoming and keep the whole site clean and tidy. The shower blocks do need updating but spotless. We will return again and again I am sure.

Great Location

Another visit to this lovely site, staff were excellent as per usual and the facilities were also as per club standards. Little disappointed this time with the noise from dogs and also the usual site speeding. Overall this is a great site by the sea, shame it isn't open all year round as it would be an excellent Christmas/New Year getaway

Part of Our tour of East Anglia

The entrance to the site was a bit daunting down a narrow road with cars parked either side! However we were suitably impressed when we actually arrived on site to be warmly welcomed by the Assistant Wardens. The facilities were up to the usual Club standards and kept immaculate by the hard working wardens.

Good beach-side site

The selling point for White House Beach is probably it's proximity to the beach, in fact part of the site is actually right next to it, the main part, which is more sheltered and has more trees and shrubs, is across a road. The beach is predominantly shingle but there are a few sandy areas where kids can use their buckets and spades. Parts of the beach have dog restrictions but there are large areas where dogs are permitted. There is plenty of space to spread out. There are none of the seaside resort "amenities"; if you want those then go to Lowestoft South Beach or Great Yarmouth. The shower block on the main site is quite old in its design and could do with a refurbishment, the shower cubicles are among the smallest we have encountered on CMC sites, nevertheless they are kept clean and tidy by the wardens and there is plenty of hot water. Behind the "far end" of the site - pitches 35 - 39 there is a sewage pumping station and further along a sewage works so occasionally, and especially after heavy rain, there is a slight "odour" on that part of the site. If wifi is an essential requirement for you then avoid that "far end" part of the site as the signal is so weak it makes wifi unusable, in other areas the wifi signal is OK. There are good coastal walks in both directions from the site and you can walk as far as Lowestoft should you wish. There is a half hourly bus service between Lowestoft and Kessingland although the bus stop is about half a mile from the site. There is a good Morrisons supermarket four miles from the site on the way towards Lowestoft which is also on the bus route. Others have commented on the local eating establishments. This area of Suffolk has a number of interesting place to visit which include Southwold, Aldeburgh, Walberswick, RSPB reserves at Minsmere / Dunwich Heath, Oulton Broad and Lowestoft and further up the coast Great Yarmouth. If you want a quiet, beach side location then White House Beach could be for you.

Something different

I don't understand the previous poor review of this site. We have just been for 5 nights. The place is a credit to the wardens who from our experience were very nice people, approachable and very understanding when both our dogs became very ill. Yes the shower blocks are not brand new but are kept spotless and more than up to the job. We stayed on the main site which is a very pleasant environment. We used the restaurant to eat one night.(you need to book well in advance because of its popularity) All I can say is it's excellent and not too pricey. Being able to walk out the gate and on to the beach to walk the dogs of a morning and evening was wonderful. The Pub is a bit run down but OK for a drink and a little further down the road is a tea room, fish & chip shop and small gift shop. All these places are very dog friendly as is the beach all year round. Well worth a visit and very well run by the team of wardens.

Lovely site

Have just had a lovely two week holiday. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the site was well maintained and quiet. We had a grass pitch which was fine. Lovely staff. Only a very short walk to the beach which is predominantly shingle but so quiet and peaceful. We have never been to this area before but we will certainly be back. We had lovely weather and the sunrises from the beach were magnificent. A lovely relaxing stay.

Beware the east wind

Essentially two sites in one, you have to register in the main site then leave again to get on the beach section as there is a public highway between the two. Beach site is basically unsupervised so has code locks on the toilets. Beach is almost exclusively pebble. If the wind is easterly it can be several degrees cooler as it is straight off the sea. The main site can be much calmer despite only be few hundred yards away. Dog walk is a exercise compound, walk along the beach. The nearest shop is the holiday camp so very expensive.
