Seaside family park 15 minutes' drive from Lowestoft
Access to lots of sporting and watersports activities
Spa, sports bar, pools, adventure playground, bar and restaurant

Starland Krew and sandcastles for the munchkins, a spa bath, a sports bar, and fish and chip-fuelled smiles all round… guests can pick and mix from a vast menu of family activities at Kessingland Beach Holiday Park, on the gorgeous Suffolk coast just north of the Benacre National Nature Reserve and 15 minutes' drive from Lowestoft. Guests at this seaside site have access to great sports and watersports facilities, playing all sorts of games at the multisports court, shooting down the waterslide into the indoor pool, splashing about in the open-air pool or wallowing contentedly in the adjacent hot tub. For the under-11s, the kids' clubs have activities to please sporty, arty and smartypants types alike and there’s an undercover play area and an outdoor adventure playground too, with a zipwire for the intrepid and swings and slides for those who prefer more placid playtime. Whatever activity you select can be followed up by gathering all ages for something from the frisky programme of family entertainment for the evenings. Aside from the chippy and other takeaway food, the on-site Boathouse bar and restaurant serves up a good range of grub. Go on, have that pudding – there’s a lovely beach right outside where you can stroll it all off.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Scoops ice cream shop did lovely crepes and ice cream and wasn't massively expensive.

The outdoor pool. it was nice but got very busy and overcrowded.

The beach, take water shoes as it's quite stony.

The site. the pedal cars were a cute addition and fun for the kids.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Facilities were just amazing. Enjoyed my time there.

Disliked: Pitch location was bit confusing. I was not guided well on this. Setup my tent on pitch 34 and had problem with electricity connection. I was then informed that I had setup on incorrect location as there was another pitch 34 at different location. The gentleman and the lady who fixed the electricity were very friendly & helpful.

Liked: The location was great with access to Lowestoft and Stow on the Wold.
The site had a shop, restaurant and bar.

Disliked: The site is tired and run down and need some attention.
The motorhomes area is grass and it was soft at end of season.
Biggest issue is the toilets and showers.

Liked: Great entertainment and the energy in the show bad and entertaining room was spot on!
Prices are great and staff pleasant.
Arcades are a great holiday feature
Pitches are a great size.

Disliked: Showers/ toilets could have been cleaner or maybe have an referb as shower horses and spare curtains aren’t working in this small spaces and pitches were on hill which doesn’t work well saying in a motorehome.

Local attractions

The nearby seaside towns of Lowestoft (15 minutes' drive) and Southwold (20 minutes) are among the most charming in the country: think fab family beaches, candy-coloured beach huts, piers and proms, plus buckets and spades of old-school charm. Aim for the former if you're after a bit of watersports action, or pick the latter for chi-chi shops, a zany pier attraction and seafront walks to Walberswick. Swap beaches for beasties with family outings to see the exotic beasts roaming the plains of Suffolk at Africa Alive! (five minutes), or seek out seahorses, sharks and penguins at Sea Life Great Yarmouth (35 minutes). For wildlife of a more local variety, nip up to the waterways of the Norfolk Broads (half an hour) where you can become captain of your own boat for the day (or take a tour if you're unsure of your navigational expertise…) For family fun on a grand scale, head to Pleasurewood Family Theme Park (25 minutes); at the opposite end of the spectrum is the tiny townscape at Merrivale Model Village (35 minutes). And somewhere in the middle is the swish Victorian pad at Somerleyton Hall (half an hour), where both mansion and gardens are worth a stroll.
