 Just returned from 4 night break at wild duck
One of the best and cheapest holidays we have had £16 ! plus we had electric hook up
Toilets and showers very clean, always a cleaner about most of the day!
Bar and club house very good, lots to do for the kids, our four year old loved meeting all the characters, food and drink is good all at a resonable price £2.65 for a pint of gaymers pear cider which I love !
Swimming pool was excellent and the water lovely and warm
Staff on the campsite were very friendly
Cant wait to return, have booked holiday for next year, staying in caravan this time £112 for 7 nights which I think is a bargain !
Wild duck gets 10/10 from us

My Husband and I have literally just returned from Wild Duck (OH is still unpacking the camping gear) and I couldnt wait to tell you what a great time we had!
This was our first camping trip not to mention our first time at any of the Haven Holiday Sites and we were extremely impressed.
We got there at 10.40am after leaving at 7.30am and after a long drive dived for the nearest loos which were clearly sign posted in the nearest bar (The Barn Bar). We then went across to reception and was greeted by a very polite, helpful not to mention cheerful 'girl' who couldn't help us enough. We were told to go meet the guy on the golf buggy who would show us which pitch we could have.
After putting the tent up we looked at the map in the information 'envelop' given to us at reception and got our barings.
We then decided to wander further a field and got the sat nav to show us the way to Great Yarmouth Seafront which was only 15min drive away. A fantastic place for that all important british seaside atmosphere. Lots of arcades, food outlets, bars and restaurants. There is also horse and carriages and a train which takes people on rides up and down the seafront.
The next morning the showers were clean and empty as we got there quite early. We found them clean and tidy and well equiped.
The pitches are lovely and the one we stayed on (pitch 27,which was ironic as today is my DH's 27th birthday!) was lovely as it was under some trees and felt like you were pitched in the woods.
Last night we went to the restaurant and tried the food. DH had chicken and chips which he said was lovely and I had chilli potato skins which were delicious and for main course I had cheese and leek pasta bake with garlic bread which was lovely also, plenty of food and well priced.
While we were eating they were setting up the carvery and also served curry and sweet and sour chicken.
The menu of course had a lot more. We did take fancy to the big breakfast for £2 something but we just didnt have time this morning.
We then went over to the show bar for bingo which was a pleasure and the winnings were good too! After, we watched the children dance with the characters of Haven.
Although it says the pitch must be empty by 10am there were still people JUST taking their tents down at 9.45am.
We are talking of going in July but think we have left it too late to book now but will DEFINATELY return soon!

What can I say, What a fantastic site.
The pitches are well spaced out and flat, the showers and toilets were nice and clean with sockets for your hairdryer.
We woke up every morning to see ducks and baby rabbits around our tent which the kids loved.
The swimming pool was great. It was shallow enough at one end for my 5 year old to stand up without being too shallow for the rest of us and the water was lovely and warm. There are steps at both ends of the pool to get into the water.
The kids entertainment was good, my kids didn't want to come home.
The childrens playgrounds again was really good with plenty of different pieces of equipment for the kids to play on.
Also the prices of food and drink was fairly reasonable.
Staff were friendly.
I wish all sites were like this one.

We stayed at Wild Duck Haven Site in Belton from 17th May - 23rd May 2008 in Tourer Caravan.
Overall the site was wonderful and staff helpful
We found it disappointing that you couldn't reserve/book a pitch as my mum was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and we wanted to be close to the disable toilets. We were told to just turn up and their staff will do their best to site us near one. Pitches aren't clearly marked out and you are left to judge where you think you should go.
Entry to the site and many attractions was by Haven passes which are issued when booking in.
The entrance is manned by security and a barrier made us feel safe to go off-site in the evenings.
It was only after setting up did we realise that we needed a RADAR key for the disabled toilets and were charged a deposit for this (we weren't told this when booking or checking in).
There are a few disabled toilets dotted around the site and putting us near the Sports Courts turned out to be a blessing for my 5 yr old son, but so much noise during football sessions that lasting until 8pm most days meant that I often wished we had seen a map of the site sooner and chose another pitch.
The site itself was huge and beautiful with lots of tall trees that made you think there were only about 10 caravans around.
The childrens play areas was nice but badly designed slides.
The showers were lovely and hot with a good force to them but push button type which lasted seconds each push and were not adjustable so were too hot for my son and we ended up filling a basin for him.
The cleaners were regularly cleaning the toilets and showers even though some people started stealing the shower curtains and chairs during our stay.
There is a laundry room which you need tokens & detergent from the onsite shop or reception sold tokens too.
The toddlers pool was very shallow, sitting down it reached my waist so I had to go into the main pool which got crowded by parents in the shallow end.
Pool Designers need to realise that you can't hold a child safely in water if your feet can't touch the ground.
I was disappointed that there were no steps (just a ladder) leading down into the main pool as I was hoping my mum could go for a paddle with us, she would never have let them use a hoist.
You need 20p for the lockers - this isn't stated in the welcome pack or by the staff and luckily I was given 20p by another swimmer.
For the money you pay for staying - I would have expected a hairdryer in the changing rooms.
There were lots of activities onsite throughout the day for nearly all ages of children and the magician in the showbar was fantastic and adults and kids loved him.
I really enjoyed out evenings in the ShowBar and they were very helpful with opening doors when I was pushing the wheelchair. Family Bingo was great fun for all.
The only time staff weren't helpful was when my camera which I had got the month before as a wedding gift - was stolen from the showbar as my husband went to talk to my son near the stage.
It had photo's of my Mum's last holiday and it was only after I phoned the police when we returned home and asked Haven for the 4th time if it had turned up, did they suggest checking the CCTV.
There is a well stocked shop on-site and a really nice fish and chip van that is permanently there - they seem expensive but serve good size portions.
The restaurant/bar food served was excellent and good value for money. The staff always served with a smile.
Anybody wanting to see the size of the yorkshire that my sausage and mash came in can email me for a photo - it was huge!
Crazy-golf and other stuff too for a moderate fee.
I would probably visit this site again but I would keep valuables in sight or around my neck.
Overall the site was wonderful and staff helpful but our stay was spoiled by our camera getting stolen and a 'unhelpful' attitude by reception.

Stayed at this site last summer if you can call it that. When we arried it were thundering and lightning as well as peeing it down lol. It did this everyday we stayed except the last day, just our luck.
It were our first camping trip and quite enjoyed it considering the weather. Nearby there where all the big shopping places which were good to buy food etc. The Norfolk broads are about 7 miles away and after pleading with the girlfriend we went on for a few hours. Took a picnic and stuff but found it quite boring. Great Yarmouth is about 4 miles with its excellent beach when the sun came out.
Back to the campsite, The shower block was a bit outdated showers where push type and a couple only lasted about 30 secs before you'd have to press again.
Pitches are of a good size managed to pitch the tent and park the car on the pitch which were good.
When we arrived our neighbours kept staring while we pitched the tent which I really hate and were quite noisey at night - that I think were the only downside.

We have just returned from our third camping holiday at Wild Duck and the first trip during bad weather.
It has been three years since our last camping stay at the site and the area has changed very little during this time. It is a lovely site with flat clean pitches, if not a little irregular in size. We arrived late on in the afternoon and as it is first-come first-served we got one of the last few spots remaining, under trees in a woody part. The pitch was wide enough for our tent but I don't think you would have easily put a tourer and an awning in. There's only one water point that I could see, but this is fairly central.
The shower block has not been updated at all over the last few years, there are plenty of showers and toilets with hot water but the showers were push controlled and you can't press the button down to keep it on so your shower stops mid-flow. There was a team of cleaners in the showers areas all day it seemed but unfortunately due to the weather as soon as they were clean the floors were covered in mud again.
The entertainment is fantastic for little ones, especially during peak season. There is a chip shop which although seems expensive, the portions are large and cooked lovely. The restaurant on site is typical pub grub but would thoroughly recommend the carvery!
Although the weather wasn't great, the site's qualities shone through and I would recommend this for all.

We spent 5 nights here in june. It was our second visit although sadly the weather was not good.
This is the best site we have stayed on. Clean friendly and safe.
there are lots of showers and separate toilets and no matter what time you go, you are guaranteed a hot shower.
The camp fields are level. Previously we stayed without EHU at the back of the site, very secluded and quiet. This time we had EHU and was on a peculiar plot of land by the shower block. It was a triangular roundabout and we were in the middle of it! still it was very near to the toilets if a little noisy at night with the hand dryer going off all the time. Would stay further away next time.
Entertainment very child friendly, staff helpful as ever.
I had to change the dates of our stay and found reception to be very helpful about it.
Plenty of nature/dog walks around the park.
Cant wait to go again and would recommend everyone tries it.

Had a great holiday here with my partner and 2 teenaged sons. We were met at the touring field by the touring warden on his golf cart, who directed us to a pitch and left without a word. Pitches were flat and level, some were shaded by trees. Some pitches were quite small, and units were allowed to be situated quite close together.
Electric hookups were conveniently sited in easy reach of pitches. The toilet/shower block was well-maintained and clean- there always seemed to be a cleaner in there! The other facilities were well-used and busy, but were generally clean and well-maintained.
The evening entertainment was, as others have said, mainly aimed at kids. My teenagers found lots to do, usually with other teens! Good weather for most of the week, with one rainstorm (6 hours torrential rain!) in all that time- our old Nimrod held up well.
The site's supermarket was reasonably priced (as site shops go.)
But Great Yarmouth is well served by the major supermarket chains.
A good site for a family holiday, especially if your children are pre-teens- my 2 boys (15 &13) seemed to make their own entertainment much of the time.

Arrived at camp on the 7th july 07, after the storms, first impression was good. Its a wooded area mainly, nice flat areas, some of the people that was there before us, said that the week during the storms had been bad, but must say the week we had was excellent. Had a couple of showers but nothing to spoil the occasion.
The club on site is what you expect from a haven camp, catered for the kids mainly, seeing we didnt have any with us this time so cant really comment on that. The entertainment after 10 at night was more for the adults really, good cabaret. Beer not to pricey, food was ok good chippy on site.
Shower blocks were really clean, they were cleaned at least twice a day, I never once had to queue up for a shower. All the staff there was very nice and polite, so the only down side I can think of is, it could do with another few water points. Camp was kept very clean there was always someone on thoose golf carts cleanning up. Too many speed bumps they were a pain, reception was very helpful. Oh nearly forgot, we seen a few police officers either cycling around the touring field or walking round, they were always doing this so that made us feel very reassuring, didnt know police officers could walk nowadays.
All in all a very nice family orientated camp highly recommended by me, will go again next year, to ffar to go more than that lol.

Having visited this site off peak we found about fifty caravans/Tents. We all had plenty of space and the weather was fantastic. The site was very clean and plenty of things to do to keep our children amused. The entertainment was also very good. The showers were hot and the toilets were cleaned regularly. Bearing in mind comments about overcrowding on this site we certainly had no complaints.

Stayed here for a weekend with my 10 year old son and his friend. It was fairly quiet so we had plenty of space but the pitches were not marked out in any way so I would imagine it is a bit of a free for all at peak season.
There was only one shower / toilet block to serve the touring section, but no complaints about the cleanliness.
The touring section is very near to the main shopping, pool and entertainment facilities which was a plus. The Haven sites I have visited are very good value for money considering what you get and wild Duck is no exception. I would return, but not in the peak season.
Outside of the site there is plenty to do and see and Great Yarmouth has a lot to offer.

On arrival you are met by Ivan in his golf buggy, he will take you to your pitch and have a chat. The pitches are level and most are set amongst the trees. The ground is sandy so it drains well. The toilets/showers are plentiful and clean.
There are several playgrounds around the site to suit all ages, the park has 2 pools an indoor and outdoor. Entertainment is great for the kids and the food on site is good (bit pricey).
My only gripe about this site is that the pitches are fairly close together.
Overall a good site and my kids love it, we will be returning soon.

Stayed at this site for the Whitsun Bank Holiday week.
We arrived right on the 12 noon check in time and were directed to the camping area. Despite being early, I got the impression that people that know the site had got there early and got the best pitches. We had booked months earlier so I did expect to have a decent pitch reserved for us. Gentleman who was allocating the pitches did not even ask us where we wanted to go but just pointed at an area by the toilet block and zoomed off on his quadbike quickly before we could ask what the options were.
The pitches were not marked out and it was a very jumbled area with electric hook ups apparently randomly spaced. I feel that as we have a smaller 14ft van we were pushed into what was really a tent pitch. The main caravan pitches were down amongst the trees and I saw several caravans who arrived after us being directed to this area .
As it happened, it was a blessing we were on the pitch we had because it did not flood like some of the ones under the trees in the appalling rain storms.
The shower/toilet blocks were kept clean although being pitched next to them meant that people coming back from the club house late at night woke us up with the shouting and swearing at each other and the kids. At least when it was raining they did not hang about too long. Good facilities for the kids such as an all weather surface playground and swimming pool.
Its a nice site but could be greatly improved if the pitches were better marked out and reserved at time of booking. The surrounding area is lovely, loads of places to eat out and attractions from Zoos, stately homes to museums.

Brilliant holiday we had here. The only downside are all the flies but this is because of all the tree's which make the campsite what it is beautiful.
The pitches are flat and clean. The toilets and showers were cleaned twice a day and were the cleanest I have seen. The park areas are great for all ages and the pools both in and out are lovely.
There is a club room which we never went in as we prefered the pub also on site across from the clubhouse. We had a meal in the pub one night and it was really good would recommend it to anyone. We actually had a family meal deal and it was a really good price.
I'd highly recommend this site to anyone with children of any age.

We spent 4 night here at the end of August. Toilets were kept clean, nice play areas and good entertainment. The site was very busy so space was at a premium. A handy tip if you have young children you can get a key for the disabled toilet/shower which has a baby change also the shower head comes of the wall and you can adjust the temperature. We enjoyed it and have booked to go again. For a good day out for under six would highly recommend petits farm discounted tickets are available from reception
