 Arrived for a one night visit - in the pouring rain!
Got caravan set up and waited till the rain cleared - it did! Chips were a bit manky but edible all the same. All necessary facilities in working order. Kids loved it - near to the beach, dunes etc. Lovely place to cycle. Peaceful and pleasant. If you want action packed non stop fun then go to Butlins , this was the ticket for us. The dog was really chilled out - prices are really competitive and am going back this weekend for a week - fingers crossed the weather gets out for us!

We've just returned from a weekend stay here and wouldn't choose to return. On a positive note it is very cheap and about 2 minutes walk from a quiet, pretty and unspoilt beach -the pitches are also very big and it is child friendly, but the site was pretty ugly and just had a bit of a weird and tatty feel to it. The showers were really dirty on both days which put us off. It also felt a bit like we we were stuck in the middle of nowhere - the nearest pub or restaurant being a 5/10 minute drive away, and Great Yarmouth seafront about 20 minutes in the car. Also the the lady in reception was very rude and unhelpful as I enquired about getting tokens for the shower before the reception was officially open at 10 in the morning! Overall we were disappointed and wouldn't count this as a great place to stay!

Just returned from a 5 day stay 3 kids 1 dog and myself and hubby, lovely site so relaxing, beach a minute walk away over sand dunes. 3 toilet blocks and one shower unit which do get dirty but are cleaned at least 3-4 times a day and as the site is big and due to lots of dirty sandy feet they are bound to get a bit grubby. 2 parks for kids and big green to fly kites etc. In general site is well maintained with own security staff that patrol the site. No slot machines for kids to want money! small crazy golf that costs a £1 that doesn't break the bank! We will def be going back.

This is a lovely site we has such a great time here in August - The location and the laid back atmosphere really makes it - right on the beach which is fantastic for the kiddies - our boys loved it - you can sit and spot the seals come into the beach - the site is set in lovely countryside with the braords just up the road so a great base to explore Norfolk!
The site was full when we were there but it didnt seem that busy - the pitches are marked out and quite large and it all seems very easy going - The staff are really friendly and are on hand if you need them - Toilets and showers are not greatly modern but they are clean and didnt have to queue at any time - Childrens play area and geese roaming around and no club house thank goodness!
We will really look forward to coming back again next year

Location excellent having a brilliant beach just a short walk through sand dunes. Camping field large, well drained but boring with no trees, hedges or shrubs to divide pitches and give a little privacy.
Facilities are run down to say the least. Not "filthy" but grubby and of a poor standard. Showers cost extra, only 35p but an insult when you consider the charges are top dollar at £10 per night.
In europe I get five star sites with pools and heated shower blocks for 8 euros! (£5.60) The worst bit is though, when complained to by my daughter, the management swore at her and denied anything was less than perfect.

Flat, busy site with everything you need. Fish and chips, a shop with all the basics, electric hook-ups, enough toilet facilities and showers or all. Very reasonable prices. Lovely beach,walks and wildlife. I love going to watch the seal colony further along the beach making sure my dog is on a lead. The children on the site played for hours in the sand dunes sliding down into the hollows. We will return.

This was the second time we have been here. This place is convenient for us, just a 50 mile drive away. The campsite is just what we want, not too organised and the facilities are clean. We went to the beach early (6 am) on a saturday morning and watched a big group of seals sunning themselves on the empty beach. Managed to get within 15 yards without disturbing them and shot some fantastic video. As we have a greyhound we like the fact that the site is dogfriendly. The onsite chipvan is ace! We have no complaints about Waxham Sands and will be returning soon. A little tip for new visitors, there is a quality farm butcher just up the road going north from the site and it sells excellent meat for barbies. And don't forget to try the Adnams Broadside, a quality local real ale.

Having been a regular visitor to Waxham Sands for the past few years I have nothing but praise for this simple, uncomercialised site where you are always made to feel welcome, friendly faces abound, nothing is too much trouble for the proprietor and his team to ensure your enjoyment. My old caravan resides in the "graveyard" referred to by other contributors but it is our pride and joy and second home. we don't object to the gas guzzlers with their jet skis and posh electric hook ups parking next to us provided they are quiet at night and the peace and quiet and natural beauty of the surrounding area make this truly a well hidden (hopefully for a long time) corner of Norfolk. Great for children and "chilling out".

Just visited this site, really pleased with the location just a few yards from the beach could even hear the sea from our tent at night. Very large pitches , a great base for a quiet family holiday. Only problem was the toilet facilities, no soap or hand driers and needed a good clean. Would definitely visit this site again as our children had such a good time .

Just back from another good stay at this great site how they managed to stay open in such wet conditions is amazing, show's the benefit of the owner running the site himself, even if he did not appear to be getting much help from his staff (if you could earn a living by standing about and talking they would be millioners).
Te shop was well stocked with all basic needs, howers and toilets all ok and the fish and chips are the highlight of a stay on this site, yes you might have to wait for it to be cooked but its well worth the wait.
One great benefit of this site is there is no reason for my kids to ask me for money as there are no amusements or anything to spend it on.

Had great weather for our weekend stay. Pitches marked out clearly with plenty of space for children to play. Great for walks in the dunes and in easy reach of beach.
Only downside was folks having a noisy beach party on the Sat night.. but can't be helped.
Other niggle was no hot water for shower.. but I guess my daughter and I were unlucky as my husband and son's had no problem!!

We visited Waxham this weekend with our newly converted Transit Camper. We found the site friendly, clean (despite the muddy conditions due to torrential downpours) and very well run. The beach is excellent and the seals swimming along side while walking the dog, were an addded bonus. Apart from the family war happening next door, we have nothing but positive memories of the site and will definitely return.
On refelction, Waxham barn however was not worth the visit...

Very busy due to Bank holiday, but still worth the trip, 2nd visit to this site and still as good, toilets are basic, which is good, chip van on site gets very busy so lots of queueing. Superbly sited along side the sand dunes and beach, a good site worth visiting.

We have recently returned from a Spring Bank holiday weekend. We had a great time, the site is fantastic, right next to the beach, ideal for the children and no amusements for them to want want want!
The Children loved seeing the seals in the sea and resting on the beach.
On the downside the chip van was not that apealing and toilets could have done with soap dispensers, so one could have washed their hands after using the facilities.
Overall we had a good stay and would return.
