  • Family-friendly Suffolk holiday park on the edge of Kessingland
  • Africa Alive five minutes’ drive; Great Yarmouth half an hour
  • Three swimming pools, fishing lake, tennis court, playground and bar
Do you like to be beside the seaside? Heathland Beach Caravan Park might have just made it to the top of your wish list, then. This holiday park is on the outskirts of Kessingland (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), a coastal village with a sand and shingle expanse dotted with marram grass tufts. Unleash the kids on this Suffolk beach, and who knows – they might come back to you bearing gifts of a fossil nature. But before you head out for a day on the sand, check out the facilities at this tree-shaded site, starting with not one, not two, but three outdoor swimming pools, including one with a twisty waterslide that ought to keep the kids busy while you relax on a poolside sun lounger, sipping a cold brew from the bar. Children can also make new friends in the enclosed adventure playground, a huge sandpit with wooden structures for climbing and balancing. There’s also an all-weather tennis court (you can hire the necessary equipment on site) and, for a more meditative experience, a well-stocked fishing lake (please note you’ll need a licence). Spacious pitches all come with electric and water hook-up. In addition to a well-maintained toilet and shower block, there’s a communal barbecue area; you can source food supplies in Kessingland, which also has a handful of fish and chip shops and takeaway restaurants (and a skate park for the kids).

Powered grass campsite

Liked: We loved the site it was very clean and tidy so were the toilets/showers, on site shop which was open everyday till 5 the bar wasn’t open during the week even though it was Easter holidays, next to the reception there is a sign for the beach walk 5 mins an your there but not suitable for unsteady elders or prams as very steep steps, off the camp site if you turn left a good ten minutes walk there is a newsagents, turn right an it’s a 20 min walk to the industrial complex with Morrisons, bnm, Costa, range, pound land etc

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Outside areas of site was well maintained. Club house was clean.
Good location.

Disliked: Swimming pools were all closed which was not as advertised.
Water pressure in toilets meant they were rarely flushed properly.
Asked to be next to our friends on booking and were on opposite sides of the camp.
Clubhouse didn’t serve warm drinks.

Liked: Lovely site, I liked that the tourers were in a a separate part of the park, it was not too big and each pitch was large with most of them with hedges in-between. Electric and water at each pitch. Good clean facilities. Beach few mins from site, great for dog walkers but does have steep steps. We will be back.

Meadow powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: We booked a hard standing pitch at the end of March and can recommend the site. There is a separate area for the touring caravans and motorhomes etc. which we booked from Monday to Saturday and had the place to ourselves. it has two shower blocks, one at each end of the pitches and although we did not use them they are very clean and warm. The pitches are large and there is hedging that gives a degree of privacy. We booked the site because we have a dog and wanted access to the beach, but be aware that the steps down to the beach are very steep and the beach is pebbly.

Local attractions

Cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos and flamingos are among the residents at Africa Alive (five minutes’ drive). Experiences at this conservation zoo range from ‘keeper for the day’-type affairs (where kids help to feed and clean the animals) to close encounters with lemurs and meerkats, and feeding sessions with the giraffes. Birdwatchers make a beeline for Benacre National Nature Reserve (10 minutes), a breeding site for dozens of bird species, including marsh harriers, woodlarks and ducks. Carlton & Oulton Marshes (15 minutes) is another top nesting site, home to several types of warblers, plus lots of dragonflies. Known for its wide sandy beach, Great Yarmouth (half an hour) also has the historic Britannia Pier, with old-fashioned rides (think dodgems and carousels) and more modern ones, like bungee trampolines. Check out the maritime collections at the Time and Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life or the penguin enclosure at Sea Life Great Yarmouth aquarium.
