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.

Relaxing view early morning on the beach

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.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Highly recommended. 5 min walk to the beach

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The pitch was nice and flat, you can park by your pitch, the toilet/shower facilities were plentiful and clean, the staff were nice. The nearby pub was a shortish walk with nice real ale.

Disliked: The toilet/shower block (including the washing up facilities) was much too far from the camping area, about a 2 minute walk which feels awfully long when when you need the loo in the middle of the night.

Liked: Touring pitches are in a good location to the entertainment pool and beach but far away enough you don't have too much noise. Outdoor pool was lovely had no trouble getting a space. Park was clean and well looked after.

Powered grass campsite (large)

Liked: Location.
Facilities on site.
Pitch size.
Camping site warden (young man with a beard) was very helpful.
Shop on site is like a miniature supermarket, stocks all essentials.
All site staff were fantastic.

Would visit again!!!

Disliked: Only one dislike, the gents were very smelly. The urinal needs a deep clean, urinal blocks need to be use otherwise and the flush needs to be more frequent.

I paid for the WiFi, (pitch 24 was only getting 2-5mbps) if I walked up to the entertainment zone it was 20. Defo worth speaking to the supplier.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very good break and would definitely go back.

Powered grass campsite (large)

Liked: The site was clean enough and the views were lovely from the back pitches. Facilities were clean. The arcades and entertainment area was nice and good that it was included in the price of the pitch. Close to the beach.

Disliked: The facilities including washing up, were way too far from the tent pitches, it was long walk for myself and my young children every time we needed the toilet, they were however well maintained and clean. They were situated within the static caravans which made no sense and all the closest pitches were taken up by caravans which have their own toilets and showers! I wouldn't return for this very reason. The swimming pool was over crowded, dirty and well it was just not a nice experience. The outdoor pool opened while we were in and we thought great it's spacious and clean, but omg it was freezing!!! They allowed 54 people in the pool but you could not move!!! So no swimming possible, it's too deep for small children so impossible to swim alone with them and there is only about 4 changing rooms and 3 broken showers which sprayed all our towels when hanging on the door - not ideal!! I just wanted to leave.
The booking system wouldn't work either and we asked beforehand and was told we could book on the day, to then be told we couldn't. Not organised and felt very messed about. Was a fairly expensive site for what you get, i wouldn't return. Chip shop opened at 5pm but only just started turning machines on as they opened the door - long queue already and had to wait 45 minutes for food. It was ok and the staff were friendly, just not enough of them!
No space for kids to play by the pitches as they're fairly small, so kids were playing football in the road. It's not a site designed for campers at all, just a bit of grass added onto the caravan site. Will stick to the smaller family run campsites in future.

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.
