 This is really two sites - Long Beach Static Caravan Park and Hemsby Camping & Touring. We stayed on the Hemsby Camping and Touring part which is an immaculate site, where the friendly and helpful wardens worked hard to make sure it stayed that way.
Level, reasonably priced pitches, spotless toilet and shower facilities (with separate accessible shower and toilets), electric hook-up, free fridge and freezer space and several drinking water points, made for easy camping. Shower and toilet blocks were cleaned regularly and well throughout the day. Hot showers were free and plentiful (although the hot water pressure is not very high. )
A busy, family friendly site with a sandpit and space for children to play. Emplacements were not particularly large - with tents and caravans pitched alongside each other; the access road runs behind some pitches and the 11pm - 7am 'quiet time' was not rigorously enforced, so this was not a quiet site. WiFi was available but very patchy and could only be used on one appliance at a time.
The beach, a pub (with nightly entertainment and serving decent pub food) and several small shops (one with a free ATM) were all within easy walking distance and the ice cream van called on site at least once a day. The nearest train station and 2 major supermarkets are 7 miles away in Great Yarmouth. There is a good family restaurant about 10 minutes drive from the campsite and an excellent award winning restaurant about 15 minutes away at Fleggburgh.
We had a fabulous holiday and would certainly stay here again.

Perfect little site.
Limited facilitates but all a good clean standard
Very friendly helpful staff.
I took my grandkids and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Close to the beach and bar and near enough to the arcades and fair for the kids if the whether turns bad.
Close the Great Yarmouth and all the usual attractions
We will definitely return
Many thanks Wendy and team you made it very easy thankyou.

Visited Long Beach at the beginning of August and hit probably the only good week of weather this year, absolutely glorious which no doubt helps to make holidays enjoyable in this country. That said from the moment we arrived we were looked after by the wardens like old friends. This is not our first visit to Long Beach we normally visit at least once a year but this was our first year with the two wardens currently on site. They are a really nice couple and took great pains to make our stay a happy one. The site itself is always clean and tidy and the toilet block, which is spacious and has a good number of showers and toilets, is immaculate and even though this was one of their busiest weeks the toilet block was always clean and tidy with Radio Two playing in the background, a nice touch. The site is split across two fields and all pitches are spacious with hook ups on most of them.
Evening entertainment is at the nearby Dolphin Club, on site, which boasts a good selection of beers and other drinks and is open all day and does nice pub grub food until 9:00. There is a small amusement section to keep the kids quite and a host of pool tables and a snooker table. The staff here are just as friendly and helpful as the wardens and the place whilst a little dated is clean and comfortable. The standard of entertainment varies quite a bit throughout the week. Our highlight was a duet called Glam X who play Glam rock music from the 70's-80's and are great.
From the campsite there is a short stroll to one of the best kept secret beaches we know of. You have to climb a steep sand dune but the effort is worth it for the soft sand and seclusion. You can walk about a 1/4 mile along the beach to Hemsby itself or you can also reach the town along the road from the campsite. Hemsby is a lovely small seaside town boasting all you expect to find in a seaside resort. It sort of got to 1980 and stopped there which is fine by us. There is a nice pub which does really good food, amusement arcades, cockle stall, bingo and a host of good eateries. North along the coast you can watch seals in their natural environment and 10 minutes South is Great Yarmouth. What more could you want?
We have a tourer and took a tipi tent, there were 8-9 of us of all ages and all of us had a great time and will no doubt be returning again next year. The only downside of the holiday was a noisy family who seemed unable to talk to each other at a normal volume but that was not the fault of the site, nor the children. Loud music is not tolerated and kept under control by the ever vigilant warden and anti social behaviour, of which there was only a very small incident about toilet rolls and kids is dealt with quickly and discreetly but it is dealt with and those responsible asked to leave which I think is just what you would want to make you feel secure and able to relax and enjoy your holiday, which is what we did in spades!

We are novice campers and his was our 1st time at a proper camp site! Previously to that, we had only pitched our tent up in our back garden!
We wanted to try out camping out a 'proper site' that wasn't too far away from home for just the one night to see how the family all got on (the family consists of myself, the wife, our 8 year old daughter and our dog)
On arrival at the camp site, we were greeted by one of the wardens, who was very helpful and provided us pack on the camp and after a few teething problems with the card machine and payment was made we were shown to our pitch (no. 7) and was very pleased with this as it was very spacious and had plenty of room for the car, the tent and our awning! The camp was very clean, well-kept and secure.
Being a bit naïve, I didn’t realise the electric points all were the 16A 3 pin type and I had just bought along a ‘normal’ extension cable – however this didn’t stop us having a good time and a short visit to B&Q in Yarmouth to get a foot pump for the airbed (sadly they didn’t stock the 16A cable type) – but we got back and had an enjoyable evening, before settling in for the night.
The following morning, we all paid a visit to the very clean toilet / shower facilities which were on-site – I believe these were fully re-furbished in 2007 and kept to a very high standard.
The camp site is ideally placed for exploring the coast / beaches around Norfolk / Suffolk. After cooking bacon rolls for us all on the portable gas stove, and packing up the tent we were ready for a day on the beach! Unfortunately due to it being peak season some beaches don’t allow dogs, so we didn’t get to go on the beach at Hemsby, but ventured a few miles further up the coast to Scratby beach.
Very pleasantly surprised to find that you could park very close to the beach, in the allocated car park (with toilet facilities) and there was no car parking charges!
Had a very enjoyable day on the beach, and would definitely recommend it for a family (especially if you have a dog that enjoys the sea etc. )
Already thinking of booking up again for a long weekend with some friends who camping quite a bit!

Enjoyed our recent stay at Hemsby Tenting and Touring part of LongBeach Caravan Park in their rally field (open July and August). Although it was just a basic field with portacabin loos they were better than we expected. For hot water and showers we had to walk over to the main Hemsby Tenting field but that was fine. All the toilets were clean and liked the idea of the mop and bucket at the main toilets to clean out the showers after use.
There was plenty of space on the rally field and a lovely quiet site, was enough room for the children to ride their bikes and play ball games.
Preferred the Hemsby site better than the Long Beach Site although you had to walk to the play area, shop and club as he touring area was near the club. 11 year old Daughter didn't use the play area outside the Dolphin bar more for younger children.
We used the Dolphin bar for a meal and the quiz night which was an enjoyable evening, but didn't really see any entertainment geared for the children, although they were given colouring to do during the adult quiz.
Took us about 10 minutes to walk to the arcades so everything was nice and local. Site Shop staff were very friendly. Reception and Warden very friendly and helpful and always keeping the site clean and tidy. Would highly recommend this site and would definitely go back. Need a touch at night if you walk from the Longbeach site to Touring field as have to walk down an unlit road. Only downside on Hemsby is not many places take cards so mostly had to pay by cash. Had a great day out at the Hemsby Maze highly recommend 1 of the places which takes cards. Really lovely beach although didn't get as much time on it as would have liked due to the weather.

On arrival we were directed to the Hemsby Site, which apparently belongs to the same people, which I was slightly disappointed with as I had book the Long Beach Site. However on reflection I would say Hemsby is the better site.
On arrival at the Hemsby site we were greeted by friendly wardens, however this was short lived after a cheap comment by one of the wardens when I paid for my pitch with Scottish money. I thought this was rather unprofessional and not what you expect after driving 6 hours to visit their site.
The site is very nice all grass and the pitches are well spaced out. The toilet block was always clean but you had to hug the wall to get a shower due to the trickle of water that they call a shower.
The site is well placed for the beach and the village of Hemsby. We visited the on site bar, there was a singer on but with only half a dozen people in it lacked atmosphere. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful.
In general it is a nice site, very well looked after, pity about the water pressure in the showers that is the only thing letting this site down. Enjoyed my stay but want be back due to the snide comment when checking in.

Have used this site previously and will use again in the future. On arrival we were made to feel welcome and the warden led us to our pitch. Mainly static vans at Long Beach and not many touring pitches. The pitches are well spaced and level. All of the site is clean and tidy with paved roads and well cut grass. The on site bar has a good selection of drinks and we had several very nice meals. The shop sells the basics but can be a bit expensive.
The main attraction of the site is its location. It is a 5 min stroll into Hemsby with its seaside gift shops. Amusements and a great beach. It is 15 min to Gt Yarmouth and the broads.
The down side is the toilet block. The toilets have old wooden seats fixed to the bowl. The shower block is about 150 mtrs away and the button presses are held in by bits of string to keep the water flowing. The blocks are kept clean but the do need updating.

We first stayed here in June with our new to us tent, we also returned again in July again with our tent then again in August with our new to us caravan. So as you can guess we like it here!
We have also ways been made to fell welcome by Wendy & Craig.
The facilities are spotless and there are more than enough showers and toilets for all.
Nice short work down to the beach where you can let your dogs run and we have 4!
Would we recommend this site YES we would
Great site great wardens great beach

Just wanted to say what a great weekend we had at Hemsby caravan park - attached to Long Beach - the people who looked after us were so helpful, they couldn't do enough for us and we really appreciated their help with our car and caravan connection. We have already booked again - it was a lovely peaceful site and very clean toilet and shower block.

We have just returned from a lovely few days at the Hemsby Touring and Tent Site. We have stayed at this site on several occasions but this year we noticed that there have been improvements made to the overall look of the site. The pitches are now better designated and the entrance to the site has been extensively tidied and cleared and a flower bed planted up with colourful annuals. I believe this is the work of the new enthusiastic wardens who are also extremely friendly and helpful.

Great little site!
We were a small group of two families with three small children between us and spent the week at the Hemsby Touring And Tent Site (part of Long Beach). Our two units were next to each other and the attendant on site was pretty relaxed about how we positioned them (some sites are strict about this). We were placed in the 'extra' field which had porta-cabin style toilets with cold water only. For hot water, showers and dish-washing facilities we had to pop over to the adjoining field.
This was not a problems at all for us, it meant that we were on the quieter, less busy side of the site, with plenty of space to run around and play outside. We pretty much had the whole field to ourselves, it was perfect!
The facilities were clean, grounds well kept and the staff really friendly and helpful.
You also have use of the Long Beach Facilities such as playpark, bar, shop etc. But we did not take advantage of this so cant comment on them.
Really close to the beach, 5 mins walk, also close to Hemsby where there are more shops and Cafe's and amusements for the kids.
Overall 10/10 for this site, we will definitely be returning here when we decide to come to this part of the country again!

Have been coming to Hembsy for many years. Love the campsite. Toilets etc are always clean. The wardens are very helpfully. Came in may (when new wardens) had been there for a couple of months to see a lot of changes. As you now drive in it looks very lovely and makes you feel welcome. Think the wardens have made a lot of different. Please keep those ones. And see you again in July. Keep up the good work xx

Had a really nice long weekend at the Hemsby Campsite. Everything that we wanted was there and the staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help (including helping with our air bed!). The toilet facilities are great, lots of showers and toilets, never had to queue even though the site was full. Sinks outside to wash dishes and a drinking water tap were an added bonus. There is lots to do in and around, we spent our evenings in the Dolphin bar and a bit further along there is an arcade and more bars (like your typical seaside town). Also went to the stock car racing close by, have the racecourse and the greyhounds nearby too! Despite having a four man tent, it is worth mentioning that the campsites are massive and fit for big tents. Overall a lovely weekend and would happily visit again.

Lovely campsite, very friendly people in the reception, very helpful with enquiries that we had. Gave us an option on where about on the campsite we wanted to be. Toilet and shower block very near by, they were very clean, only bad side was that we were only able to shower between 7 and 8 in the morning and evening. The shop on site is basic and is q little expensive, but its about 10 minute walk to get to other shops. The beach was lovely, hardly any body on there when we went down, quick walk to the beach, walking over the sand dunes was a little challenging especially if wearing flip flops. Would definitely visit again.

We stayed here for 7 nights on the camping and touring field.
We were greeted by 2 lovely wardens they were always available if there was any problems. If they weren't in reception they were cleaning the lovely, clean shower toilet block. Down side water pressure in showers was a little slow but always warm. Pot washing on the other hand was red hot. We walked down into Hemsby a few times easy access to beach and a nice walk. The path over the dunes is quite difficult to say the least.
We called into the Dolphin Bar (while kids were on park) well you have to don't you? The site shop was pretty basic and expensive but there's plenty of supermarkets around. A trip to Great Yarmouth is a must beaches are brill. We used the swimming pool at the nearby Richardson Site only £2 each nothing special but enjoyed the swim and attendants allowed balls etc.
Kids enjoyed having all the space and playing in the sandpit.
This really is a lovely site almost all level pitches and no problems with electric blowing apart from our fuse. Never waited for a shower or a sink.
All in all a lovely place to visit and lovely people looking after it. Thankyou .
