Waxham Sands Holiday Park Reviews

Great friendly site

Really friendly, professional reception staff, made us feel welcome. Easy walk to beach, lovely to walk with the dog at 07:15 in morning on a remote beach. Good shop with varied goods. Varied pop up food stalls and a mobile bar. Though, not too sure if the person who served me two take away passion fruit martini's knew how to make them, as at £12 for the two, they did not seem to have much (if any) alcohol. It was just a very sweet, gloppy concoction. Great customer relations by putting a large TV in the marquee so campers could watch the Euros. One point for a senior citizen recovering from broken shoulder, it would be useful to have a small ramp at the grey/waste water drainage point (main block) because, as it stands. you have to lift a 'heavy' container into the drain to empty said container. Other than that and the weather, we had a very relaxing enjoyable time and am sure we will visit again.

Lovely site

Beautiful clean site. Staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met. Location is stunning, exactly the weekend I was after and will be back.

Our 3 night stay

Just had a thoroughly relaxing 3 night stay. The site is in an amazing location, with staff so pleasant and helpful. Well maintained and clean. Highly recommend and will be returning. Thank you all.

Peaceful

We have stayed here several times but this is the first time since the new company have taken over. The site is clean and well maintained with great access to the beach. The pitch size was perfect and the facilities were kept clean throughout our stay. The food vans and the safari tent are a nice addition.

Super family location

A super trip for a family, having such close access to the dunes and beach is amazing. The play parks were also thoroughly enjoyed, facilities great, though with all camping facilities, I'd say take a shower cap if you want your hair to stay dry as the showers spray wide! It was very wet when we went and the ground holds the water, so take wellies!

Beautiful place

We had an amazing stay during half term! Lovely and friendly staff, great facilities, it was an absolutely amazing spot. We have seen so many seals! My only one bug was the toilets got very slippy. They did have a wet floor sign, but they could of done with being mopped more often. Other than that minor thing, the place was clean. We will definitely be going back!

Great first time camping experience

We arrived at Waxham Sands on Friday evening and were greeted by a lovely young lady who directed us to our pitch and gave us a map. They went through the food options that were available throughout the weekend, which was fantastic (didn't realise they arranged food trucks). We wanted to get fish and chips, and lo and behold, there was a fantastic chip van there (reasonably priced too!). I hadn't done a lot of research before booking and was so surprised to see the site so well equipped! The amenities area was perfect for those families staying, enabling the adults to relax and enjoy the sunset while the sproggos played on the park situated next to the benches (and bar😉). Toilets were spotless and were plenty to choose from throughout the site. Showers were clean and the shop had all you needed plus a coffee machine which was a god send as we forgot to pack coffee! The campsite is pet friendly with direct access to the beach, which was the main reason for booking. However, if like me, you didn't do much research before booking, I wasn't aware of the seals at this beach. I won't lie, they were absolutely beautiful to see/watch, but this did worry me a little with the children playing on the beach. I didn't want them to go in the water (this probably would have been harmless but I don't know, you just don't mess with nature in my eyes). Again I should have probably should have done my homework on this. Overall, it was a lovely first time camping trip and we would definitely return.

Another great weekend!

Been here a few times, great site. The staff are amazing, so friendly and always smiling. The ablutions are always clean and tidy. The electric charger is a good addition. Love the shop, very reasonable prices for all the goodies. The only downside were the roads, maybe some gravel similar to the entrance would sort the problem out. But we have booked again, back in June! Great site!

Amazing location

Amazing location - unsure if would return due to restricted shower times. Really lovely site. Amazing location. Very short walk to the amazing horsey beach where we spotted hundreds of seals. Food vans on site were a great addition. Lovely children's play area. Well stocked shop. Check in very easy. Very wet weekend - a number of pitches were flooded and the grass hadn't been fully mown (assume because of the weather?) and there didn't seem to be enhanced cleaning of the loos as you'd expect when it's so muddy. Showers - lovely new showers although only open 8am (or 8.20am one morning!) until 9pm. The best trip we did from here was a wildlife boat trip from Martham. We all loved this. Also, if visiting Cromer visiting the lifeboat station is very interesting (along with the arcades). Mainly though, we all loved the beach and the seals!

Definitely coming back!

We had a fantastic stay at Waxham Sands (despite the weather). We loved how close to the beach the site is, so lovely to be able to wonder no more than 5 minutes and you arrive at the lovely beach. We saw several seals as well, swimming close to the shore, that was a real treat! On site facilities were modern and clean, even catering for our 4 legged friends with an outside shower! The pitches are large and flat which makes for easy set up of the van and awning etc. The kids loved the adventure park and us adults loved the quirky onsite bar for a cocktail or 2! The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced, handy for a few bits if you can't be bothered to jump in the car. All the staff we came across were friendly and genuinely welcoming, we really couldn't ask for more. All in all, it's a really well thought out set up and we will definitely be heading back in a few weeks' time when we may even be lucky enough to see the sun! Thanks again.

Test Run

This was a short stay to test a new tent before a potential family get-together of several tents. The site was well maintained and laid out. The staff were brilliant and helpful and an asset to the site. However, the toilets need more than 1 hand drier for the number of toilets in use. The main problem for us was the shower block. Just one block for men and one for women. Each contained only 4 showers, and one of these was broken in the women's. Bearing in mind, we went at the end of the season, so the site was only approximately 25 per cent full. Finding an empty shower was a non-starter. Such a shame as it's a necessity having spent time on a beach when you're staying in a tent. As I feel the site would be ideal for families, the shower situation would be important to them, and it definitely needs rectifying.

Site's response

Hello Roger, Thank you for your review. All of our facilities will be undergoing much needed upgrades while we are closed over the winter. Apologies for your experience on this occasion. Hope to see you back at Waxham again in 2024.

Great campsite

Easy to find, right next to the beach.
