What customers say
Great beachside spot, clean facilities, and helpful staff get a big thumbs up! Spacious pitches and food vans are a hit. Access can be steep and noise happens, with minor gripes on showers/WiFi. Still, a top choice for a chill break.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Nice site. Would stay again
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Camp had a nice holiday feel to it. Lots of amenities, chip shop most evenings, breakfast butty shack most mornings and an artisan coffee wagon. Excellent location backing onto an interesting beach. Pitch was flat and well drained. Electric worked without a hitch.
Disliked Waterless urinals in the gents meadows toilet block weren’t being serviced properly so stank.
They had a boiler breakdown when we arrived so a hot shower could be taken in the Seaside fields block. However ,in the morning the water was freezing in that block too.
Get the urinal and boiler maintenance right and it’s a great stay.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Like the closeness to the beach, although it was accessed via steep steps down to it - not ideal for families with young children, or people with mobility issues.
Disliked Hard standing pitch was very rough. Not enough toilet/shower facilities for the amount of people on site. The camping field was very overcrowded. Didn't like the loud music late on into the night - wardens didn't seem to have much control over that.

Great site in a great location
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Larger site in a great location a short walk and direct access to the beach. Pitch was designated before arrival. Staff very helpful. Facilities very good with lots of showers and WCs but showers were cold while we were there, probably a temporary issue. Three food and drink places on site too. Very enjoyable stay.
Disliked Only the issue we had with the showers being cold during our stay.

If you are wanting a peaceful weekend away I’d suggest another place
Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked Good location!
Disliked The free for all tent pitches were cramped,
Music was very loud all night till 12/1am when it was supposed to be turnt off at 11! Toilets where do I begin, every time I kept going to the toilet it was Ethier blocked or closed for cleaning, when they were cleaned they were very clean but cleaning them first thing in the morning when people are likely to go is not on,
There was a big party sized group 5/6 family’s, I get your on holiday and you have a fun time, but everyone booked different sized pitches I booked 9m X 9m trying to find space when they set up a full sized tennis court for volley ball when there was fields designed for that was just selfish and the park should of told them about it! It was the same family who was playing music all day and night like a festival, barking of dogs all bloody day and night when they had to be kept quiet , I understand leaving your dogs at home is awful but if you decide to bring them, leave your rat at a kennels on the way to the site, thanks for reading, in all honesty it was a great place and a great weekend,
Only joking AVOID!!!

Liked Friendly welcome with an escort to our pitch.
Pitch m44, level ground without the need for chocs. We was based opposite toilet block and playground. Toilets was cleaned at least 3 times daily, with plenty of space for placing clothes and lovely hot water with push system shower..large Area for moho with water tap available on pitch.
Very busy for the 2 nights we were there and to be fair there were good campers as noise was a minimum, and very quite after 10pm.
Very nice beach available via site..once you went down steps,,harder coming back up.
Lovely fish and chip van on site 4 -8.
Bus stop 3 minute walk to Heathlands campsite. Bus 99 into Lowestoft every 20 minutes, with a 20 minute journey to Lowestoft.
Disliked Nothing on my trip

As above
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Absolutely awesome campsite. Think my other half was getting bored of me saying how clean toilet/shower block was. Close to the beach ( only 5 minute walk away) but be warned there are 90 steps down onto the beach. Cannot fault this campsite at all, and if you are looking for a break on the Suffolk coast then definitely give The Hollies a look. I only live an hour away but felt I could of been hundreds of miles away. Weather was gorgeous. We will DEFINITELY be back. We'll done all The Hollies team. Richard p.s didn't use WiFi so just put 1 star as I can't comment.
