We stayed in August for 16 nights (2 adults, 2 teenage boys) on the main field near the toilet block. These were kept very clean daily but the showers were too close to the wall so hardly wet you at all, although they were very hot.
The warden s were very friendly and helpful if you needed them. The beach is a short walk and is lovely, good exercise for your thighs climbing over the huge sand dune! Can't comment on the shop as didn't use it.
The Dolphin bar is ok if you are a regular, as many people appeared to be, if not it wasn't very welcoming at all. We went about 13 nights out of 16 and never got a friendly hello or a smile. Nothing for teenagers to do apart from play pool with young children. We enjoyed our stay but won't be returning as weren't enough facilities for teenagers.
We visited this campsite for the third year for the August Bank Holiday weekend. The location of the site is good for the beach and local amenities.
When we visited the first time we were shown the new shower block including washing up area in the main field, this is very clean and ample facilities for this field. However, we chose to stay in the 'Circus field' where there was a portable cabin with toilets and hand basins. These were ok the first year we went but are now in need of updating. The doors didn't lock and there is no hot water. There is hardstanding so it would seem an obvious progression to build a small permanent toilet block and washing up area on this field as all the services appear to be there.
With no track or path on this field the ground was churned up very quickly and by the end of the weekend was a mud bath.
We also found it difficult to accept the cost for a dog was more than the cost for an additional child as the dogs do not us any of the facilities - the cost per dog is the dearest we have ever come across in the 8 years of camping.
On the plus side the staff have always been friendly and helpful and the main site toilets are always kept clean.
This site would greatly improve with a small amount of investment.
There seems to be an issue with people driving from the circus field to the main site to use the facilities (although we didn't). It is understandable due to the state of the portable cabin facilities.
Let's hope there are some positive improvements in the future.
Our first time at this site and we really enjoyed it. We stayed on the main field close to the showers and toilets.
The ground was incredibly stony and hard and we went through so many pegs and broke plastic D rings when trying to extract them.
The showers and toilets were very clean but did have to wait for the showers in the mornings. We pitched quite close to the toilets which was a bit of a mistake as people from the top field would often drive there early in the morning so traffic would wake you up.
We did come across quite a bit of dog poo on both our field and the road leading up to the site, which isn't the site owner's fault but the filthy dog owners' who don't clean up after their dogs.
The staff were very friendly and didn't mind our two boys very frequently visiting them in their office. Can't comment on the the bar as we never went there, but the shop was well stocked and reasonably priced.
We have just returned from 7 nights at Long Beach, (Staying on the Hemsby Fields) and are overall very impressed with the site. We went in a tent with no hook up, my partner and 2 children.
General overview
A clean well kept site, toilets are very well kept, pitches are all flat and have good drainage, noise wasn't too bad, a couple of inconsiderate campers, but this always seemed to be dealt with.
Welcome
We were welcomed with a pack of information on the local area, the pricing was extremely good, £90.00 for 7 nights no electric. We were shown to our pitch by a nice man on an bike, who gave us a choice of where to pitch.
The pitch
The pitch was flat and stone free, plenty of space and lots of space for the kids to play, this is different on the main site where there is not much space in comparison.
On our field there was a portacabin with toilets and cold running water for those late night emergencies although the main block was a 2 minute walk away.
Showers and Toilets.
The new shower and toilet block was extremely nice, always clean, tidy and warm, plenty of hot water and toilet roll, cleaned at least three to four times a day, no queues for the toilets, the ladies showers get busy during peak times, but the wait was never more than 10 minutes.
Park
The park was very nice, clean and well suited for younger children.
Clubhouse
Clean, reasonable prices, friendly staff, serves food, although we didn't eat, there is karaoke on most nights and entertainment arranged on others.
Shop
Reasonably priced compared with the Seadell shops on the main road(Stay away they are well overpriced)
Hemsby
The park is a ten minute walk from the beach, and amusements, here there is a main drag with various amusements, prize bingo and food outlets, We ate at the Hollywood Bowl and found their food to be very nice.
The beach is really lovely, sandy and clean, with lifeguard station for added safety.
Overall
We shall be returning next year, we had a fantastic camping holiday and didn't want to come home. Maybe next year someone can arrange the weather to be a bit warmer.
We met up with other friends at this site and were easily accommodated to all pitch out tents together - 4 various sized tents and 4 cars in all. And despite taking up rather a lot of ground space - we were still a decent way away from the other campers.
Ground was terrible and we all went thru far too many tent pegs - which we think the other campers must have too as the shop had only 8 left when we went to get emergency supplies!
Pub on site was ok - average food which did us on our first day of arrival.
Beach in walking distance - wont say easy as there were two sand dunes to contend with, so anyone with bad back, or disablilites stood no chance.
In good location for all the attractions nearby.
Only downside we found with the site was that the shower block (only 1 for both fields) was closed from 10-10.45 each morning for cleaning.
As it was a busy week - it was a struggle to get get most of our party up and showered before 10 as everyone else was in there - so after waiting for the cleaners, it cut a big chunk out of our day.
We have just returned from a lovely few days on the camping field here. We didn't book a particular pitch or hookup so were directed to the main tent area in the field with the shower block. There was another larger field but only had a porta cabin type toilet block.
The pitches were marked out and they were a good size. We pitched near to the toilet block which was a bit of a mistake as the block was lit up like the Blackpool illuminations during the hours of darkness - all night. We managed to rig up a makeshift blackout sheet and managed to sleep well.
The toilets were cleaned regularly and fully stocked with toilet paper however there was no soap which meant taking your own and with 2 boys rushing to the toilet at a minutes notice this was impractical.
The showers were large with good hanging facilities for your clothes and each one had a step stool to keep things off the ground. There were never any huge queues and they were warm if not HOT most of the time!
The walk to the beach along the side of a field then over some dunes was fun if not a bit tiring and wouldn't be possible with a buggy! However very well worth it as it was a stunning beach and very quiet.
A short walk takes you to an area of arcades, fast food and trinket shops and a small fun fair for the kids and a short walk the other way takes you to a reasonable Spar shop.
We will definitely go again but may try to book a pitch away from the toilet block!
We arrived late in the evening but the wardens had waited for us and showed us to our pitch, which was ample in size for our 5 man tent.
Toilet/shower block very good; clean, plenty of hot water and no queues.
Site is well-located; close to beach and only a few minutes walk from Hemsby. Major supermarket a few miles away.
The staff on site were fantastic. Friendly and helpful; best we've come across.
The only downside was night-time noise. I think we must have been unlucky judging from the other reviews, but on the first night we were disturbed by a group of young campers who were just getting started at 1am. This was dealt with the day after by the wardens and they were asked to leave the site as other complaints had been made.
Sadly there was more noise on the 3rd night.
Would go back again but would be careful about choosing a pitch. Hint; near the warden's van. (They do sort out the noise if they hear it)
Overall - camp excellent; let down by a few thoughtless campers.
We stayed on the Tent & Tourer site over one night Sat/Sun and were accommodated despite short notice and a very busy weekend (first of school breakup). The pitches are generous and the site is very family friendly.
The toilets are very modern and clean with very good disabled facilities. The staff were very welcoming. The beach was in easy walking distance, with a shop and pub nearby.
The only downside was that under the couple of inches of grass and topsoil must be a gravel pit. Everyone I spoke to went through numerous tent pegs. One guy was kind enough to lend me a hammer - which was needed to get pegs into the ground.
Some of the families would have benefited from a bit of camping etiquette, with people walking through pitches and one child even riding their bike over the middle of my groundsheet as I pitched but the site can't be blamed for that. That said, it was a pleasant stay and the kids enjoyed themselves.
What a great place! stayed here after a visit to alton towers,on the way home, we were looking for somewhere last minute couldn't find anywhere so close to a beach around north Norfolk, looked on ukcampsite and found this, very helpful and friendly over the phone even better when we got to the site, great staff, even moved some cars and got us sited right outside the facilities, no problems. Well kept site with a very good clubhouse, karaoke on sat night or whenever the owner wants to sing, nice friendly atmosphere at all times and well run, seemed child friendly also, ( we didn't have ours with us as they've now got their own! ) closed at a reasonable hour, 12 midnight, no unruly mobs to disturb a very pleasant stay.
Just far enough outside hemsbys busy main resort area to enable a peaceful time, only a 10 min walk away,
Beautiful duned valley and soft sandy beaches. For walking etc, seemed dog friendly, but not to my personal liking, I think they should be forced to be on leads and wear nappies at all times.
Excellent value for money, proper beach side holiday site with outstanding views and walks.
Rang the campsite at 3pm on Friday due to the lovely hot weather and arrived there 2 hours later. Campsite staff were extremely friendly, gave us a leaflet about the campsite, a magazine about the broads and things to do and a black bin bag for our rubbish, they then showed us to our pitch.
Toilets and showers were lovely! Lots of hot water, plenty of toilet paper, lots of toilets, sinks and showers, electric points for hairdryers, baby changing facilities and baby chairs to strap your child in whilst you wash etc, very clean too - well impressed.
Only a short walk into Hemsby and onto the beach, its a beautiful sandy beach and we were planning to spend time on it to escape the heat - unfortunately swarms and swarms of tiny black beetles put paid to that idea and we were unable to enjoy the beach which resulted in us going home after one night.
There is a club and shop a short walk up the road although we did not use it.
I really hope that the swarm of bugs disappear soon because they certainly ruined what should have been a lovely weekend and we would like to return to this campsite.
Just come back from a 5 night stay at Long Beach and I must say it comes thoroughly recommended. The wife and I found everything to be spot on. The gentleman at reception was very polite and helpful and even drove in front of us to show us to our pitch. Toilets and shower blocks were always clean. The showers were free which is a rare find these days and they're plenty hot enough too. Our pitch was huge and even better we had it all to ourselves. Lots of mobile homes on the site and everyone was polite and respectful.In other words no excessive noise into the wee hours. The weather was very kind to us whilst we were there which was a bonus. If you fancy a trip into Gt Yarmouth it's only a few miles up the road, perfect. The same goes for if you want a ride on a boat on the broads then it's only a few miles to Wroxham. Everything is within easy reach of Hemsby. We would definitely go back to Long Beach.
This site is fantastic all staff were really friendly and the site is really clean including all toilets and showers. We were pitched so we had a sea view the sand dune was easy to clime and my 5yr old loved rolling down with our beagle following.
The site shop was really cheap and pub / club on site also. The walk to hemsby was about 5 to 10 mins. The sand on the beach was golden and there was a nice cafe overlooking the sea. Will be going back again had a really fab time
We have a large 8 man tent and arranged a large footprint pitch, then brought the date forward which the very pleasant office staff managed to sort out.
Easy to find with map off internet and we were guided to our pitch which was great with electric hook up, loads of room and flat. We used the club most of the time we were there (10 days) nice food beer and staff.
Toilet block was clean with hot water as was shower block. Waste disposal on the end of the block. The beach was about 5 mins walk from site with a nice green valley in between leading to a nature reserve, ideal for walks out of the wind.
The shop is small but caters for those things you have forgotten and sells papers, food, milk, etc. The next village along the beach has amusements, pubs, fish and chips etc and there are a couple of pubs in Hemsby. The local health centre was very helpful and generally its a nice area, and of course Great Yarmouth is close.
We had two pitches for our two 7m tents as we went with my sister and her family. We had loads of room. We arrived early and because our pitches were empty we were allowed to pitch early. The wardens were very friendly.
The tent and touring part is a short walk away from the main site which has the bar and shop facilities, another short walk on from that is all the amusements of Hemsby!
The toilets and showers were really clean and we never had to wait to use the showers, the only downside was that there was no soap which wasn’t really a problem, you just took your own with you!
Hemsby has a lot of arcades, seaside shops and places to eat and Great Yarmouth is only about a 20 minute drive away.
Everyone in our group had a great time and we will definitely be returning.
We were part of a 2 family unit. Our children are 9 and 10, our friends are 5 and 2. As soon as we arrived and as soon as we saw the tatty static as a reception, we wondered what we had let ourselves in for. The main entrance lane is very narrow but the site itself is a rectangle with a newly built brick shower / loo block. One end had a sandpit with real beach sand. Tesco is 4 miles away and a Spar is less than 1 mile for basics.
The loo block itself was always clean and loo roll was plentiful (please note there are noO soap at all in here - not even a dispenser)
We were pitched on numbers 6 & 7. Whilst we had shelter from the trees, it did not effect the tv or mobile signals, but it did mean later on in the day it was a lot cooler / breezy. The weather Sat till Weds was awful but like a flick switch it became scorching the latter part of the week!
We visited Great Yarmouth beach as it was only 7 miles away, Dinosaur Adventure £40 for a family of 4 but easily a full day out and 50 mins away, then finally BeWILDerwood a mere 13 miles away, all great days out for the family and entertained all the kids, despite their varied ages.
We enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra night. A mere £16.50 extra. We paid £140 for 7 nights with elec and a full awning.
The funfair was a bit dated but the younger ones had fun, there are amusements a 5 min walk and a beach which is accessed via a very steep sand dune. We preferred the beach at Gt Yarmouth.
A very relaxing time was had and I like the fact that you have ample room and its in no way overcrowded, we even had a strip down the centre for a game of football - this meant we added other campers and brought a few together.
Fab site, shame about the lack of basic provisions, such as soap and a park but I liked Hemsby Tent & Touring more than Long Beach site itself, the Blue Dolphin bar was also a bit dated but we didn't visit, the laundrette is next door to it and a 5 min walk from the site we were on.
Looking forward to going back, maybe latter summer holidays

We stayed in August for 16 nights (2 adults, 2 teenage boys) on the main field near the toilet block. These were kept very clean daily but the showers were too close to the wall so hardly wet you at all, although they were very hot.
