 Just had a week there with my wife & collie dog. Fantastic place and would recommend it to anyone. We had a Kingfisher super pitch which meant we had a water supply, waste & television hook up(useful as could get nothing using our aerial)Toilets & showers were nice as you had a room to yourself and never a queue (admittedly it was a quiet week so don't know about peak holiday times! Staff were accommodating and even managed to move our booking on a week due to my tow vehicle being incapacitated when we should have been going. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the road to the site is very narrow, but caused us no problems whatsoever. It's a tranquil but busy site with a lovely view of the Marina and passing boats on the river. The Waveney arms is a pub/restaurant on site with a patio area where a relaxing drink was most welcome after a day sightseeing. The food was excellent with a wide choice at reasonable prices. All in all one of the nicer sites we've been to.

Have just returned from a weeks stay, we were in a motorhome on a Kingfisher pitch, with excellent views to the marina. We used the ferry a few times and took the 50 min walk into Oulton Broads through the fields, where a couple of times we used the train from Oulton Broad north straight through to Norwich (30 mins)and also to Lowestoft from the same station. We choose our holidays when children have returned to school, so the campsite was mainly couples and on the 2 occasions we used the pool we had it to ourselves, it was a good size and very clean. The Waveney Inn food was excellent, good portions and price reflected the quality of the food, we eat there 3 times in all. We also stayed in the Captains Cabin for 1 night as it was our anniversary, lovely spacious room and a great nights sleep, with breakfast included in the price. We hired one of the boats for a morning and thoroughly enjoyed our trip into Beccles. All facilities were good and staff very friendly, will definitely return to this campsite as 1 week was not long enough for us.

We visited Waveney river centre in August for a four night stay being our first ever camping trip wasn't sure what to expect and being 50 yrs + between us we were a tad nervous ! Well what a fantastic stay. Site is brilliant got everything you need shop well stocked and same prices as I pay in my local shop, bar/ inn fantastic beautiful food and lovely friendly staff ! Separate toilet block immaculate and separate wet rooms which house shower toilet sink and hairdryer, there is a kitchen room by toilets where you can wash up if you need to waste disposal etc and the pool is fab ! We stayed on bitten row had a fantastic view of boats from our tent I'm not going to say what plot number because it was so good we want to book it next year ! Very helpful staff even a guy greets you on your plot once you've checked in at reception to show you where to set up ! I really didn't want to review In case it gets too booked up but so good it deserves a review !

Had a fantastic week at Waveney River Centre, on land and water, nice staff and customers, friendly bar with decent food, quite a remote site, but everything you need on site, gas and basic essentials in shop.
If you want to be near the water, this is the site for you.
We liked it so much we have booked for the same time next year

This was our first outing in our new touring van. Are from the area so didn't want to travel to far. Excellent family friendly site. Lovely rural surroundings, plenty of walks available. Clean and well kept. Showers and toilets excellent and no extra cost. Plenty to do in the area. Nice indoor pool, again included in the price which was a bonus. Enjoyed our stay, so much we have made another booking.

This was our second camping trip here and came back as it was such a good experience before. The camping pitch is large and the hedges in between pitches allow for extra privacy which is nice. A worry of mine is always showers etc on sites but I have to say the toilet blocks, showers, washing up areas are all immaculately clean and seemed to have just been cleaned every-time I needed to use them - fantastic.
The location of camping pitches are close to all facilities on site including shop, laundry which is a bonus.
The Pub on site serves great home cooked food at reasonable prices and has lovely views from the outside terrace over the fields.
The site is a good mix of adult and family friendly with great facilities including a pool and play area and nice walks for dogs.
We hired a day boat which is pretty pricey for the day but it was a great to spend a relaxing the day on the Broards, we headed to Beccles which is a nice place to have lunch and do a bit of shopping.
Would highly recommend this camp site and look forward to returning.

Our first ever time camping and the campsite was excellent. It was well maintained very clean and tidy. Will definitely visit again and would recommend to anyone thinking of camping to go here, with excellent facilities for all age groups and disabilities.

I can't see how it gets any better than this campsite! We pitched right next to the marina watching the boats come and go. The site is south facing so we had the sun all day. Our pitch had a small wooden fence in front that made us feel like 'this is our bit' which was great. It has a great pub, swimming pool with 'hot tub' and easy to use clean washing facilities about 30 seconds walk away. Fantastic place and I congratulate all the staff on their daily contribution to a great place. Keep up the good work. We'll be back!

This was my second visit in my touring caravan but I visit twice a year whilst on my boating holidays, March & October.
I decided to stay last minute, whilst in the area & my telephone booking was very quick and efficient and I arrived some 30 mins later.
Check in was very easy & pleasant.
I was given a Kingfisher pitch which is right at the back of the touring area with great views of the Marina, river and surrounding area.
The pitches have been made hard-standing / gravel since my last visit (Jan 2016)and the road way hardened plastic / grassed which would make pitching easier on a rainy day, which this was not.
The river is easily accessible for fishing which I did on my last day, relaxed by the river boat watching.
The Waveney Inn has a good selection of drinks available and very reasonable prices.
I did have a look in the new restaurant but did not eat on this occasion.
The site was busier than Jan 2016. But the showers were kept extremely clean.
All in all. Another fantastic visit. Will definitely return.
Thanks to all the staff.

Waveney river centre site was a great place to stay ! The staff were very friendly and obliging. Pitch was overlooking the marina. The showers were very clean with hot water. Individual rooms with toilet sink shower and hairdryer / which was free. We used the Ferry daily to cross the river to walk all day. Pub was very nice too! We take our own food so didn't sample the food. Evening food started st 6pm. Shop well s stocked with a nice gift section too.
We will return!
The drive from East Sussex was a good route.
So all in all a successful holiday.

We went to Waveney River Centre for a long weekend with a large family group with ages from 3 to over 70 years. The accomodation was a touring caravan, 2 Yurts, 1 Escape Pod and 3 Tents. We ate and drank in the on site Waveney Inn and hired a large cruising boat for a day. We used the swimming pool and all the facilities! I reckon we gave the site a complete road test!
We are very happy to report that this site is a real gem from every aspect - beautiful location, good clean and tidy amenities and helpful and polite staff. Our 15 person Sunday lunch in the Inn with nearly everyone ordering something different didn't faze them and was excellent. As was the beer! Four proper well kept and delicious cask ales were on tap.
Something we noticed was that the grounds were very clean and tidy with a regular crew of litter pickers.
Be prepared for a 5 mile run on narrow roads to the site but if you follow the site's instructions the road has plenty of passing places. We towed a big rig down, took it steady, and had no problem.
It was a really good stay and we will be going again.

I camped at the Waveney River Centre for 2 nights on one the Pintail pitches. The campsite was quite easy to find - it is marked on google maps, and selecting that location meant the satnav took us right there. There are also signposts for the last few miles which take a different route from the satnav down slightly wider roads. Whilst I stayed, the site was relatively empty. It was a peaceful site with great views over the river. We ate at the Waveney Inn where the bar staff were very friendly and the food was great. We also took a swim in the pool which was nice and refreshing - there was a hot tub as well as a small pool for swimming/paddling in.
The showers and toilets in the campsite were excellent - probably the best I've ever been to at a campsite.
We also hired a kayak for a day which was straightforward. We were leant a map of the surrounding area as well as a dry bag to keep valuables safe. The location meant we had the option of exploring the river Waveney as well as Oulton Broad.
Walking, most of the places to go are the other side of the river, and there is no bridge nearby the campsite for many miles. The campsite runs a ferry service across the river - though when we were there, this was more like a taxi - you called a phone number when you wanted to cross, which made it convenient as we didn't need to ensure we crossed at a particular time. However, this might operate to a regular schedule or something in high season.

The final few miles of road before arriving were a bit narrow but plenty of passing places. On arrival we were greeted with friendly helpful faces and advised where our pitch was. As we were just having a quick weekend to see if the site would be suitable for a longer summer holiday we were set up without an awning in no time. The views are superb and couldn't be more relaxing. So, off to the pub (the Waveney Inn) for lunch and what a lovely place it is to eat. Great service and great food, I would highly recommend. The camp site was just what we were looking for to spend a week with my ten year old daughter. Walks, boats, bikes, pool and a great little play area. We are going back!

Beautiful setting, very friendly and helpful staff. We had a lovely meal in the Waveney Inn (with dog allowed in), had a very enjoyable swim, used the ferry to cross the river to walk to Oulton Broads. Toilets and showers all clean, shop reasonably priced and plenty of staff to ask for help. Had torrential rain when there, and site drained nicely - no huge puddles.
Will definitely return soon
