Roof Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2026

All facilities spotless. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. I love how everyone camping whether in a tent or a caravan are all pitched together. Fab park for the kiddies on site. Lovely and quiet in the evenings. All campers respect one another. Monica explained everything on arrival and all the amenities on site. Please thank her for her kindness. The shop is well stocked with something for everyone and on occasions when things are left behind. I will definitely be back, hopefully again this year if possible.The seals resting on the beach was a definite bonus.. amazing

VW-Type Campervan - Premium Grass Pitches Jun 2026

Fantastic site, plenty to do, food vans are only Friday - Sunday if you don’t fancy cooking. We paid for premium pitch which was amazingly sized. However looking at the standard pitches, they are very tight, especially when you have caravans and motorhomes on them, just beware. Would highly recommend though.

Very relaxing stay

VW-Type Campervan - Premium Grass Pitches Jun 2026

Very relaxing 4 night stay on a great sized, flat pitch. Great size pitch, flat. Facilities very good. Lovely staff. Facilities are slightly dated and some of the buildings really do need a lick of paint to bring them up to date with the rest of the site ! Lovely hot showers and water for pot wash. Climbing over the sand dunes to the beach is hard work if you have disability issues but, you will make it :-) The beach is stunning and the wild seals, well, that was such an amazing experience. The site shop had a good range of produce and a coffee machine :-) All the girls working in there were really friendly, as were all the staff. The putting green is beautiful and the outdoor lodge building was great. We took a couple of drinks up there one night and enjoyed the evening sunshine. There were outdoor food wagons that came at the weekend. We had a roastie dinner which was very nice, big portion too. There isn't anything close by like a pub or shops, not unless you drive or can walk around 2.5 miles to get there. Take everything you need and you will really have such a good time here. We will definitely return and recommend to friends.

A great getaway

Tent - Premium Grass Pitches May 2026

Lovely vibe. Facilities were good especially the larger family showers. Food vans and bar were also great and should be advertised more. Staff all friendly and helpful. If there was one (minor) gripe it's that the showers had no basins or mirrors so you had to go to the toilet to brush teeth etc. Kids play park was brilliant. Easy access to the beach where we saw some seals. All in all, a really well run and organised site. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay

Perfectly close to the beach. Close to supermarket and pubs. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent shower & toilet facilities, good little shop. Fire pits were great. Good food trucks but some expensive. Overall, campsite very clean. Would 100% return.

Great location, walk over the dunes and the sea is right there, saw many seals. There were different food trucks each evening. Highly recommend the mac and cheese food trucks, amazing! The cleaning staff are incredible, ablution blocks are always spotless. The little shop has everything you need, from coffee machine, ice, snacks, camping goodies, etc. There's a well kept mini golf. Highly recommend this for camping.

Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Returned home after 1 night after what was supposed to be a 2 night break at Waxham Sands staying on the camping pitch. Really disappointed. We were staying with our 2 young children for my youngest's 2nd birthday. On arrival, we were told the park rules and where our pitch is and instantly saw how crammed in the tents were, behind us were a big group of people who were swearing, shouting and carrying on. We pitched with unease and hoped they would settle down. After a walk on the beach, which was beautiful, we checked out the facilities. All very basic and could do with a big update. The park was very noisy, which was expected due to how close everyone was together however, what we didn't expect after being told the rules on arrival was for this to carry on until gone midnight, both our children were woken up numerous times after not being able to go to sleep till very late. We packed up the next morning and left.

Great experience

Great review with my family. The location is unmatched and very close to the seals. Cleanliness was good. Perfect shower designs. Most importantly it is family friendly.

Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

We had a fabulous stay! We loved the access to the beach, a highlight was a morning spent watching the seals. The food trucks that came over the course of our stay were brilliant & we loved the facilities for children on the site. Mini golf and parks were a huge hit along with the walks through waxham woods. Very dog friendly & we made use of the doggy shower every day of our stay. Showers & toilets were spotless & the shop/reception staff were super friendly and helpful. We will be back to visit the seals again next year!

Site's response

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had a fabulous stay and enjoyed everything from the beach and seal watching to the food trucks and children's facilities. It's great to know that the mini golf, parks, and Waxham Woods walks were such a hit with your family—and that your furry friend appreciated the doggy shower too! Our team works hard to keep the site clean and welcoming, so your kind words about the showers, toilets, and our friendly reception team mean a lot. We can't wait to welcome you back next year for more seal spotting and seaside adventures!

Lovely holiday park

Excellent spot, just a short walk over the dunes to a fantastic beach, clear water too! Only spoilt by the night wardens failure to shut down the significant amount of coarse and unruly behaviour late into the night.

An amazing clean stay!

We had an amazing stay at Waxham Sands. We had an electric hook up pitch, further from the beach, but by a toilet and washing up block. Very quiet in the evenings. Great access to the beach which was beautiful. Brilliant facilities, which made camping with a busy family, a lot easier. On site food vans selling an amazing variety of meals and puddings. Can't wait to go back!

Site's response

We're especially glad you loved the variety from our food vans — we agree, the puddings are hard to resist! We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay.

Last minute booking to the site and our first camping trip as a family. Lovely location on the beach, staff friendly and helpful, shower block clean, shop had everything we needed, food trucks was great too. Perfect spot right on the beach will definitely book again!

Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Great site, facilities are good and the beach is beautiful. We stayed August bank holiday so expected it to be busy, but felt that the pitch sizes needed to be bigger to allow adequate space between tents - most people, us included, had large tents and so it felt like we'd been "packed in" - that aside, no complaints at all. Pizzas from the shop are very nice, food vans are good but very long wait times (again, to be expected on bank holiday weekend). We'd return but probably for a mid week stay when it's a bit quieter.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed the site, our facilities, and especially the beautiful beach — it's definitely one of our favourite features too. We completely understand your feedback about pitch sizes during the busy bank holiday weekend. It’s a time when we welcome lots of guests, and we’re always looking at ways to improve the experience, including how we manage space and layout. Your comments are really helpful and will be taken into consideration as we plan for future seasons. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the pizzas and food vans — though we agree, the wait times can be a bit longer during peak periods. We’re working with our vendors to help streamline service when it’s busy. We’d love to welcome you back for a quieter midweek stay — it’s a lovely time to enjoy the site at a more relaxed pace. Thanks again for your kind words and helpful feedback!
