1 night at Barn Owl Camping

Very chilled beautiful place. We had a lovely peaceful family time.

3 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

3rd time me and my 7 year old daughter have stayed there, she loves it. Would highly recommend.

4 nights at Hatters Meadows Cambridgeshire

So pretty with pitches within the wildflower meadow. Best bathrooms we’ve had camping. Very close to Ely, so great location too. Amazing value and very helpful staff

3 nights at Freedom Farm Camping

This is a lovely rural campsite. We stayed for three nights, visiting Cambridge during the days and enjoying the nature and quiet when we got back to the tent. Facilities are clean and well-designed. The owners are very friendly and were quick to help when when we couldn't find our firepit. A wonderful place to relax--recommended.

2 nights at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Friendly, spacious, well located, good facilities, great access to the river. Some noise overnight from neighbouring barns, so Hest to pitch the other side of the field

1 night at Canal Camping

Easy to get to and To find. Loads of good camping spots. Great central bathroom and clean-up stations. Definitely a highlight of my trip and a solid camp ground!

1 night at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Really lovely back to basics site, we will visit again!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Pitch up wherever you like, there's no marked pitches. There's a great choice from camping in the woods to a wild field if you prefer to be in the sun. Sam, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. There are no showers, however, the choice of camping locations make up for this. Great for a weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I loved it here I was bit disappointed that I couldn’t get into the woods and have a fire due to the forest been too dry but then if you wanna campsite then you should keep it clean and tidy so people can have that but other than that it was the best place ever

1 night at Freedom Farm Camping

really great campsite, feels like you're away from everything, no road noise at all. Beautiful farm and the sauna was such an added win. We'll defo be back

Weekend Trip to Chigborough Farm

We really enjoyed our stay here. Facilities were great apart from the toaster in the outdoor kitchen which tripped the electric but Samantha sorted it straight away following a message to her. Was lovely walking around the lake and we enjoyed some delicious cakes at the farm cafe. My son had fun at the kids playground. Everyone was polite and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Gorgeous little camp site, perfect for families, very peaceful and the river was fab for paddle boarding and swimming. Very clean and staff were super friendly and helpful, pitches are very generous making it feel spacious and private, would definitely recommend this little gem.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We stayed here for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend with our 3 children and 2 labradors. We used our inflatable kayak on the river as many families did, I would just highlight that the river to the left of the campsite can get a little fast in the wind and can be difficult to navigate back to site. We walked into March and had lunch at The Acre which was good. Walk to March took about 45 mins, slow walking, however, to walk by the river all the way you need to cross over a bridge on a fast road- there is a footpath though. The site itself is well kept and the wardens are lovely. Gutted we didn't arrive on the Friday for Pizza night! The pitches are very spacious and there is plenty of room for the kids to play games and stretch their legs. People have a good time, however, remain respectful of the other campers.

Weekend Trip to Hatters Meadows Cambridgeshire

Great facilities and good vib. Small shop on site was great for drinks / snacks.

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

Had one night here and was lovely, Helena is so friendly and welcoming, the site has nice views, all facilities are very nice. Would definitely recommend and might even visit again in the future!

Absolutely AMAZING, first time camping and couldn’t recommend this place enough! Staff checked in on us to ensure we will all ok. We will be back :) thank you for having us

Weekend Trip to Creekside Family Camping

A nice quiet farm run site, enclosed field for the Dogs to have a run too. Site can also supply logs and fire lighting kits if needed.

3 nights at Freedom Farm Camping

A lovely, quiet site. Wonderfully clean air, dark skies, far from traffic noise and flight paths. Facilities are excellent and the site is safe and secure. The camping field is level and well tended, surrounded by attractive fields and woods. There are some nice walking paths nearby, and likewise good and quiet roads for cycling (although some surprisingly hilly for Suffolk). Note that the nearest shops are some distance away, so do plan ahead. You'll have a great time.

3 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

A lovely peaceful place, easy to find, very basic, just what we were looking for and Rendlesham forest is beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Absolutely loved this place. Great location & great to simply be off grid for a few nights. We sat by our little camp fire watching the moon & stars & listening to an owl hooting away. Loved it!

The Red Lion

29 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Spilsby, England

Simple site in the grounds of a 19th-century coaching inn Lincolnshire Wolds walks and Skegness within half an hour's drive Pub with food; a 10-minute walk from the Aviation Heritage Centre Hikes, wildlife and generous helpings of history are all dished up at The Red Lion, a simple site in the grounds of an old Lincolnshire inn. At a crossroads in the village of East Kirkby, The Red Lion has been refreshing travellers since 1841; more recently, it was a favoured watering hole for the men and women of Bomber Command in World War II, and the pub’s décor pays tribute to them. The staff are steeped in the history of the old coaching inn and the nearby airfield, and can point you towards the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, 10 minutes’ walk down the road and on the site of the former Royal Air Force base. The Red Lion makes a splendid base for aviation and wartime history buffs, with the heritage centre nearby and the displays and memorials of the International Bomber Command Centre a 45-minute drive away. As it’s on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and around half an hour's drive from the coast, it’s also well placed for walks, stately home visits and wildlife watching. Most importantly, it’s at the back of a friendly pub (which has varied winter and summer opening days and hours, but is always closed on Mondays). It serves hot food alongside local beers and other refreshing tipples. Canine companions are welcome in the bar (it’d be nice if they bought a drink…) and on the site.

Campsites near Great Yarmouth guide

Overview

Situated on a wide sandy bay on the Norfolk coast, east of Norwich, Great Yarmouth is one of the best-known seaside resorts in Britain and has been attracting holidaymakers for centuries. As well as the wide, long stretch of golden sand and beachside amusements and leisure activities, Great Yarmouth also offers easy access to The Broads, a national park with a network of navigable rivers and waterways. From beachside caravan parks to meadow-side tent sites to houseboats and cabins in the Broads, campers have a range of options around Great Yarmouth.

Top things to do near Great Yarmouth

Pack the bucket and spade, the bodyboard and don’t forget your swimming cossie. Holidays in Great Yarmouth start at the seaside, where you can enjoy the golden sands and safe shallows of its expansive beach. You might also want a bag of pennies for the amusement arcades that line the golden mile. Crazy golf, fun fair rides, a Sea Life Centre, a cinema, and 10-pin bowling mean there’s never a dull moment. A quieter beach sits a few miles up the road at Winterton, where the sands are backed by the rolling dunes of a national nature reserve. Even further north brings you to Horsey Beach, where you’ve got a great chance of spotting the resident seal population.

If you tire of swimming, sandcastle building, and fun fair rides, there are plenty of other East Anglian treasures to explore. From the surrounding Broads National Park to the wild beaches in the north of the county, there’s a variety of experiences beyond the boardwalks of Great Yarmouth’s two piers.

Inland from Great Yarmouth takes you to the heart of The Broads, where wildlife and bird watching are part of the fun of exploring the waterways on foot, by bike, or by boat. It’s also only about a 30-minute drive to reach the cathedral city of Norwich. For more ideas on things to do in Great Yarmouth and the surrounding parts of Norfolk, visit the tourist information centre in the middle of the promenade.

Where to go

Norfolk Broads

The Norfolk Broads—part of the larger Broads National Park that spans Norfolk and Suffolk—is a network of largely navigable rivers and lakes that were formed by the flooding of peatlands. They are a picturesque area of calm waters, windmills, wildlife, and birds. Campers staying in Great Yarmouth can visit the Broads on a day trip or opt to stay in a cottage, at a simple tent site, or in a well-equipped caravan park in the national park area.

Mid-Yare National Nature Reserve

Further west of the Norfolk Broads, towards Norwich, this nature reserve on the floodplain of the River Yar was established and is maintained by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Birdwatchers won’t want to miss visiting from Great Yarmouth or Norwich as this is an important wetland site that’s home to a number of Eurasian and European bird species.

Horsey Gap

Despite its equine name, Horsey Gap is the place to come to see seals basking on the beach. The quiet, sandy beach is directly north of Great Yarmouth, along the same stretch of sand that extends along much of Norfolk’s eastern coast. There’s a beachside holiday park between the village of Horsey and the coast, or campers can visit from Great Yarmouth to see the wildlife.

When to go

Summer is the best time to visit Great Yarmouth, as this is when the weather is best for beach camping and outdoor activities. Tent camping is most comfortable between June and September. Visiting outside of summer is possible, but campers might prefer to look for cabin, cottage, or houseboat accommodation (in the Broads) rather than tent sites.
