The park at sunset

  • Well-maintained, peaceful and family-friendly park at Scratby, Norfolk
  • Scratby Beach 20 minutes’ walk; five minutes’ drive to Ormesby Broad
  • Dog-friendly park with a well-stocked shop and food prep area
What’s it to be – Norfolk beaches or the broads? Stay at Scratby Hall Caravan Park and you get the best of both worlds: 20 minutes’ walk takes you to the beach, and five minutes’ drive sees you at Ormesby Broad, with all its opportunities for sailing, fishing and birdwatching. With a rural location on the outskirts of the coastal village of Scratby, the park is a peaceful base for campers set in five acres fringed by farmland. The neatly kept camping field has level pitches for tents or trailer tents, as well as a food-preparation area and a washing-up room. You’re welcome to bring barbecues with you, but if you’ve forgotten anything vital, pick it up, along with snacks, local produce, groceries and camping essentials, in the well-stocked on-site shop. If you’re reluctant to leave your furry chums at home, the site is wonderfully canine-friendly with miles of walks on bridleways straight from the pitches. Dogs are also permitted on a number of local beaches all year around, so they’ll certainly get plenty of exercise out and about with you.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely green field, with little shop on site and information at reception. Lots of toilets and showers, kept pretty clean. Friendly staff. Good walks to beach, pubs.

Disliked: Was a million crows making so much noise in the morning. Can’t be helped by anyone. Just something to note if you want quiet. Showers could do with new taps so you don’t have to keep pressing the button to make it work.

Local attractions

When it’s time to head for the sea, gather up the kids and the dogs for the stroll down to Scratby Beach (20 minutes' walk) and go wild swimming or fishing. Other local options include the soft sand backed by cafés at Hemsby (five minutes' drive) or Sea Palling (20 minutes), popular for kiting and known for seal spotting. For more seaside-town action, Great Yarmouth (15 minutes) has amusements on the pier and rainy-day attractions such as the aquariums at SEA LIFE and the indoor pool at the Marina Leisure Centre. If the weather is good, turn inland to the extensive network of cycling and walking trails in the Broads National Park (15 minutes), as well as fishing, birdwatching and boating. It’s a doddle to keep the kids entertained too; the first port of call might be Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens (15 minutes), where you can get up close to protected big cats from wooden viewing platforms. For more active days out, scramble around on the jungle bridges and zipwires at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes), or brave the thrill rides at Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park (35 minutes), where there’s also a petting zoo and gentle attractions for younger folk.
