Waveney River Centre Reviews

Lovely campsite,very clean shower units

Had a lovely few days, friendly staff and very clean shower units with large pitches.will definitely return soon

site is great

site is great, facilities need attention, on site pub over priced. access road is single track for about 3 miles, this has put us off returning.

Stunning

Lovely, would have given more stars, so clean. Pool was a bonus.

Brilliant staff

Fantastic site, great facilities and wonderful staff. In particular, Hayley on reception at the swimming pool could not have been more helpful, and the same with Sue on reception who even sold us on the idea of booking a Lodge for a week next year, which we have now booked for our family holiday.

Excellent stay

Stayed for a weekend dinghy sailing, the harbour master (?) was very helpful. Short visit Broads boat licences are available at reception. The van site was ok, over sheltered by trees and lots of pigeons. The bar /restaurant was convenient with huge portions. Shower block excellent.

Nice and peaceful

A lovely small site over looking the boats and river. Plenty of clean showers all with sinks and toilets, We only stayed 1 night but will return for longer

Camping with tent

We had a nice stay. Great site , facilities and lots to explore around .

Beautiful location

Lovely location. Pitch was level and clean. Facilities clean and hot showers. Only negative you park your car away from your pitch and we couldn't find any trollies on arrival or departure day.

Fabulous stay

Highly recommend this site. Cannot wait to stay again.

An excellent site

An excellent site with first class facilities and staff.

5*

5* service from the start, amazed at how well kept the facilities were. The view was relaxing and by far the best camping trip we’ve had. Looking to book again next year!

Dear Ellie, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had a great stay with us! We look forward to welcoming you again! :) WRC Team

The best setting

Sadly, the pub and restaurants is only open weekends so we were unable to use them. When they are open, you probably have everything you need on site. The indoor pool looked lovely, though we did not use it as we were out and about all day. The views of the harbour from the pitches are stunning. I would say the Kingfisher pitches were on the small side, should you be using an awning, would leave you very little space to sit outside - though there are benches on the green at the water's edge. The foot ferry takes you across to Carlton Marshes which is a very quick 2 minute trip and worth going to visit the visitor centre, and for a nice walk with bird hides - take binoculars- we saw lots of different birds including Lapwings, Egyptian geese and Marsh Harriers. Outside of the site there is very little. The roads are unsafe for walking as there are no footpaths. The entrance road to the site is very narrow so do follow the brown signs which have several passing places.

Dear Donna Thank you for your lovely review! The bar & restaurant operates at weekends only during off peak periods, so once the peak holiday season is here, they will be open daily. We hope that we can welcome you back to Waveney River Centre again soon! :)

Short stay

5 night break

Lovely site with excellent facilities. Location is quite remote and accessed by single track road. Swimming pool was lovely, and at the times we used it, it was very quiet. Would happily book again.

Great place

Great place for a peaceful holiday. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, canoeing on the river Waveney and relaxing. Brilliant.

Lovely quiet location

Lovely location, very quiet. Nice bar on-site, serves food. Had some lovely walks to the excellent pub in Burgh St Peter. There's a farm shop in the village too, which serves great food. We also took the turnpike ferry across the river for a short walk to Carlton Marsh Nature Reserve - a bird watchers paradise, visitors centre and great children's playground. We also ventured a little further beyond the nature reserve along footpaths to Oulton Broad where you can access water sports, boat trips, trains to Lowestoft and Norwich and Everitt Park with a nice cafe and playground. There's a pool on-site, but has some odd rules about only having a pre-booked 45 minute slot, enforced even when its quite!!

Our pre-booked 45-minute swim slots are in place to ensure all guests have a fair and enjoyable experience, while also allowing us to maintain safety standards and carry out essential cleaning between sessions. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again soon. WRC Team

Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased your first trip went well and we hope to see you again in the future!

Enjoyable stay

We have stayed here before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food at the Waveney Inn was excellent and plenty of it. The only negative part was that a large family group of campers were quite loud (including one of their cars) and their barbecue smoke drifted into our van. As this was our last night there, we did not let reception know.

Probably wouldn’t go back

Roads to the site were poor, narrow pothole filled roads - not great when a tractor is coming the other way. Site was clean and the pool was lovely. You definitely need a car unless you are a lover of walking miles to get anywhere. Staff came across as rude. One day told we didn't have to pay for ferry, the next day we did. One day they said just ring when you want to come back, the next day we could only return at the exact stated time despite again being told to ring for a return.

Fabulous

We had a lovely stay and would come back
