Great site

We stayed for the first time at the beginning of August and were pleasantly surprised, great facilities, great location and friendly wardens. So much so that we extended our stay from our 4 night original plan to 8 nights. Plenty to do in the local area.

Second stop on our tour. Typical racecourse site, but with a brand new facilities block. Very open site could feel very crowded when full, with pitches three deep in places, but it was quiet when we were there. Great friendly wardens. Don’t forget your levelling blocks it’s very undulating.

Another great stay

Stayed at the end of June beginning of July having used the site a few times before. Arrived and thought the grass had all gone 😂 - it had a desert look, even the pots of plants were struggling because of the dry weather! Lovely greeting from relief wardens the usual wardens returned during our stay equally lovely. Fantastically clean facilities as usual. Short walk out of the site to the dunes and beach for dog walking or human playing! alive with skylarks and terns. There's a protected nesting area. Theres a land train and buses run along the prom into Yarmouth in the summer months, a good level walk along the top or on the beach 30 minutes ish. Bus stop opposite the entry gate just into the housing estate. On site shop sells milk and bits. There is a shop on the static caravan park open 8-8 selling a full range including bakery if the site shop doesn't have what you want. We enjoyed a day at the races, half price entry if you buy from the office, £8 in our case an afternoon meet 7 races. I won my entrance fee back. Soon got the hang of the totes, never been on a race course before or placed a bet! Stakes as low as £1 with the right tote. We were joined by our son and his partner for his birthday, they put a small 2 person tent in the awning space. First club visit for either of them both very impressed. We will be back as Yarmouth has much to offer beyond the front. The Time and Tide Museum is a must and the attached tearoom Silver Darlings worth a few visits! Beautiful fresh offerings. We hired a boat from Potter Heigham for fabulous few hours. Plenty to amuse most folk.

All round brilliant site

This is our 3rd time here (1 st this year),, the wardens have to be the best we have ever met, friendly and very knowledgeable of the local area.since last year they have worked real hard to improve the site to a high standard(although was a great standard last year), the shower blocks has been revamped and updated, still the highly clean standard. Fencing replaced and painted.the grass is kept cut as well as all weeds kept on top of.LOVE the new herb garden, in the old phone box. This site is ideally located for the sea front and shops nice flat cycle into yarmouth, or bus or even land train.short walk to the dogs or stock car racing track. We of course will be back to this wonderful site.......the club should use the site and wardens to show examples to other sites.

Great Location

Met by excellent Wardens, gave us some great details on what was happening on site (dog owners, and change of pitch numbers). Toilets always clean and tidy as with the rest of the site. Have used this site many times before. Easy to get into Yarmouth itself, bus just outside the site, or take the land train from Seashore site, or have a lovely 20-30 min stroll along the front. Great for families, and the couple like we are. Loads of stuff to do from Adventure Golf, shopping and the odd pub to pop into. The Troll Cart in Yarmouth having a well worth 3.5m revamp, is now bright and airy. Will be visiting again, just need to work out when.

A winning bet

The Wardens keep this site spic and span. The new toilet block (unusual for a racecourse site) was shining clean when we visited. A credit to the Wardens. An all grass site this should not put off those that prefer hard standing as the going is firm and level. Our visit coincided with a race meeting, an added interest and most enjoyable despite the cold snap (May). There is some safe cycling for those that wish it, to Great Yarmouth and to Caister on Sea. Great Yarmouth is a candy floss and ice cream sort of place, if that is what you like. You'll need to put your hand in your pocket to entertain the kids? A regular 'bus service runs from near to the site entrance. Caister is much smaller with less in the way of entertainment. The independent lifeboat station is worth a visit and your support, while The Ship Inn, Caister, serves very good food in a very pleasant environment. The beach looked good but we didn't venture onto it this time. Our first visit and hopefully not our last.

Excellant

Another lovely stay at this site, staff are lovely and very hardworking. Facilities are kept in tip top condition, spotlessly clean. Close to beach with lovely walks along prom right into Yarmouth, don't understand issue regarding dogs, I have a dog and within 5 minutes there is plenty of room for dogs to run free along the fens, it's not wardens fault if dog owners flout the site rules. This site is one we have visited before and will not hesitate to come back again. THANK YOU for making this site so good

First class wardens

Recently stayed here on seasonal pitch , we were very impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of Shaun and Billie. All facilities are first class and immaculate. Unfortunately wardens are in a doubtful position regarding irresponsible dog owners, daily we saw owners walking their pets around the edge of site and thru pitches regardless off the fact these places when occupied are someone’s living area. Also at night once dark some owners sneakily allow dogs free to toilet. There is mention of no dog walk, but owners are welcome to walk their pet around the large grass area near reception and lets b honest the sea front is only a few minutes away and there is a long walk there. I know most owners say -oh I always clean up - but regularly we saw dog mess on pitches. It’s a difficult issue and I think the office should be stricter and not come down on the wardens if they try to improve the situation. Definite rules need to be in place along with the use of correct dog leads not the ones where the dog is able to walk on a considerable distance in front. I don’t understand the issue it’s quite ok for sites to say adults only but considered offensive to say responsible dog owners only. Finally no I am not a person who dislikes dogs my family own three dog boarding businesses, a grooming parlour and breed six different breeds of dogs, also two professional dog training companies. I would not hesitate to return here it’s location is first class and an excellent bus service. Keep up the good work wardens.

Irresponsible Dog Owners

We have visited this site many times and have enjoyed our stays. On this occasion we were told of a change of policy regarding dog walking on site (which not only applies to this site, apparently); it being no longer allowed. This being due to some owners not clearing up after their dogs' calls of nature. These selfish people ruin the image of the majority, who are responsible, and lead to this type of policy change.The rating is not for the site but for those dog owners who don't clear up. I would like to see those people challenged and have their membership suspended.
