We enjoyed a weekend stay here at the end of June.
The location was fabulous. It was great to watch the boats go by from our motorhome.
Generally we were very happy on our stay at this site- but there were just a couple of points we felt should be mentioned.
Firstly- we arrived at 7pm on Friday evening and had minimal water in our tank. We were told the water tap was on the side of the facility block. We managed to get up the tap but it was a push down tap and didn't have a thread to attached our hose to. After a bit of tooing and froing we ended up having to ask a fellow camper if we would be able to use the tap on their fully serviced pitch.
We actually were expecting our pitch to be serviced, and we felt quite awkward having to ask someone if we could fill from their pitch. Luckily they were very helpful and we had a long enough hose to reach without them having to move their van!
Secondly, I have to say, it was one of the most nosy sites we have stayed on. There are lots of rules in place on the site 'no noise after 9pm' was the main one.
Unfortunately on the nights we stayed there were lots of unaccompanied dogs on different pitches that were barking. On one night it was well after midnight when its owner finally stopped it barking. The mornings also were very noisy- we were woken up at 6am on all 3 mornings by the noise from the family next door.
This wasn't so much the sites fault, more of inconsiderate campers I'm afraid.
The facilities were second to none, and we had a great time hiring one of the boats for the day. We would return, but would a) make sure we take water with us in our tank and b)perhaps take some ear plugs.

Just returned from our second visit to this wonderful site, the first one being last October, I thought the site was nice last year but it just keeps improving, we cannot wait to return.
New toilet facilities which were very clean as was the bathroom block.
Work that has been done creating new pitches looks wonderful and the improved caravan access area is helpful but not quite big enough to stop the vehicles cutting up the grass when moving the caravans onto their pitches, which is a shame as the site is so tidy its awful to make any mess.
Beautiful, scenic site, our caravan was in Kingfisher sitting at the top of the hill overlooking the boats (though this view is slightly restricted when there are a lot of tents). Site never feels noisy, busy or cramped even when full as it is so well laid out.
Kids loved the swimming pool but I found the chemicals a bit too harsh and the pool wasn't particularly clean.
Large children's play area with more that enough to keep kids amused even when the site was busy.
Pub is perfect for a drink or meal, nothing fancy just good pub grub and the staff are friendly and welcoming and good with the children.
Good sized shop with everything you would need, very helpful staff in Reception.
Road to and from the site is a little scary when towing as we have a big unit and a long van and the passing bays would not be big enough for anything to pass us and the roads are far too narrow to reverse up.
Perfect location for a holiday but we didn't really want to leave the site.

Fantastic site, right on the river, with some great views.
It was a last minute choice to go here and I just turned up without booking, upon arrival the shop was shut, but I guess to be expected 2 days after new year. However the Harbour master was on site and was very helpful.
Told to park where I liked as there was only 2 other people on site.
The site was undergoing some work, so there was quite a bit of mud in the top field, but lets face it January is probably the best of time to do the work, as its least likely to affect others.
The toilets were as already mentioned fantastic, lovely and warm, plenty of hot water and spotlessly clean. Each room has its own toilet, shower and sink. You couldn't ask for more.
Phone signal good, and so was Tv reception.
I'll look forward to visiting again in the summer

First, may I say thanks to Allen the harbour master, come site manager for helping us out on a lot of occasions.
I will say the positives first great location great view of the river great showers and pool well stocked shop. All sound great so far
On arrival we found that the field was quite muddy. There was work ongoing not as described on the phone workmen arrived at 08. 00 every day except xmas day and boxing day, once on site power tools were used from 08. 00 with the radio going , also vans going back and forth did not help with the mud.
The staff then shut for 5 days and we were left with just Allen. No toilet cleaning which the workmen were also using, so by the end of the holiday only 3 of the toilets were still open not the seven or eight that they have, but the site was full.
We had continuous trips on the caravan electrics, but what made it worse was that it bypassed the fuse board in the stand outside our van, and tripped inside the pool plant room so we had to keep phoning poor Allen to come out and fix it. Really really a pain not what you want with the mud all around
The site are spending a lot of money on new tent pitches and washing up etc which is the main reason for all the mud. If you ask me to be honest the owner should have shut the site while the worst work was done and not expect people to try to walk around in the dark.
Also the main entrance light was not working.
Its always hard to moan when there are so many positives here on this site but they should have shut or warned me that there was a lot of mud and only 3 toilets open which were shared with builders

Spent a gloriously quiet week here. Facilities are excellent, pitches are level and quite spacious. Very quiet while we were there, but thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a fair distance along single track roads, but taken steadilly caused no problems at all.
20 minutes from Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft with fab beaches and some amazing little coastal towns not too far away either.
It is without doubt the most relaxing week I have spent in Vera Van. Right alongside the broads, took a boat for a day and kayaked other times.

Have just returned from this exceptional site after an enjoyable 5 days. The peace and tranquillity were a bonus.
We ate at the pub every night and visited for a couple of drinks some lunchtimes, average pub grub but most enjoyable - the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
Same with the cafe - no need to cook your own breakfast!
Bit disappointed that the swimming pool wasn't included in the site fee so didn't use it.
The access road was a bit hairy, on tenterhooks that you don't meet any oncoming traffic!
Had an enjoyable day on the Broads, but as novices we didn't know where we could moor.
My husband fished a couple of times but didn't catch much!
The whole site dog friendly, even the pub, which pleased our friends immensely, they go nowhere without the Jack Russell!
Toilets and showers amazing, and all amenities within 2 minutes walking distance, the shop wonderful for everything you may need including morning papers.
We will certainly be returning to this site, highly recommended.
