Date of Visit: May 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: DozyDiver 1 review from this member

 What a great time we had this last weekend. Family booked the pitch for us to rock up and park our camper and put up the awning next to an electric hookup. Best campsite we have been to with the flattest pitch as didn't need to use our levelling blocks in the far field! The showers were nice and warm and the toilets really clean (although to get to the showers was a 5min walk from where we pitched it didn't matter). The beach is easily accessible with a 5min walk down past the kids play area and pub (which is reasonably priced for food and drink) and on our last night there was a fireworks display that was fantastic! Could not fault this campsite and will return again!

 Just returned from Hemsby Tent and Touring park and as novice campers we found the wardens to be extremely helpful and the site clean and tidy.

The toilet block/ showers in the main field where we pitched were always clean but busy at certain times of the day. The other field appeared to have porta loos but no showers.

The children enjoyed the sandpit and the site itself is child friendly, just a shame that there were no swings or other play equipment although there was a small play area at partner site 5 mins walk away.

The Dolphin Bar/restaurant 5 mins walk from site provides excellent food and a very warm welcome. Dog friendly too, which is a real bonus if you take your dog on holiday. Beach is just a few minutes further on and is a vast sandy area ideal for children and dog walkers alike.

Overall Hemsby campsite is first class site and will definitely be returning.

 A really nice site, I decided to go last minute as I have been before and we really enjoyed it. Shower block and toilets are really clean, there is also two fridge freezer for us to use which is great if you don't have all the gear. It is a nice quiet site great for families especially first time campers. Hemsby is about 10 Min walk and there is also a shop, bar and laundrette on site which is about 5 Min walk

Reviewer: Lekkiman 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for a week and wished it was longer. The staff were very friendly and helpful--due to an error on my part we arrived a day early but nothing was too much trouble and they found us a pitch for the night until our booked pitch was free. The small shop was useful if a little expensive. The area is excellent, quite close to the beach and the amusements with a good bus service into great Yarmouth. The only down side is the walk from the amusements if you like to stay out a little late--no street lighting at all and maybe there could be a few more water taps and positioned more accessible, being in a motorhome had to fill tank using a bucket. Overall though a nice friendly site which we will definitely visit again

 We stayed on this site for 5 nights in our tent and have got to say its THE friendliest site we have stayed on. The staff are lovely they showed us to our pitch asked if it was ok or did we want to move, very dog friendly as they were welcomed into the site club house we only wished we, d brought our two dogs with us they would have loved it. The toilet and shower blocks were not state of the art but they were kept clean which is the most important thing lovely hot water whatever time you went and they are locked you need a key to use them which stops kids playing in them brilliant. The site itself is quiet, friendly, and close to hemsby amusements but not too close for noise. All in all would I stop here again ? Definitely in a heartbeat, already arranging another holiday here next year with our family son 22, daughter 20 and her boyfriend 21 and of course the dogs. Well done Longbeach you made our few days with you happy and memorable for all the right reasons.

Reviewer: Fionatazdevil 2 reviews from this member

 I have stayed at this site several times now. Before the last occasion each time I stayed in my campervan however on this occasion we pitched a tent instead.

The site is adequately equipped with very good condition and clean toilets and showers. There is also a bar that serves food and a small shop for the basics.

The beach is very close as is the little village. The children love playing on the sand dune to get to the beach the short way and playing in the amusement parks in the village. There is also a small fair which is very reasonably priced.

Although the site is basic it is very nice. It is quiet and relaxing

I would recommend this site to anyone

Reviewer: Grimmbo 1 review from this member

 Just had a 3 night break at Hemsby touring and tents. 2 adults plus 2 german shepherds, were met by friendly wardens who showed us to our pitch. The pitch was large and level more than adequate for our needs. The showers and toilet block were immaculate at all times, never having to queue. The dog friendly beach is just a few minutes walk from the main site. The Dolphin bar lets you take dogs inside. This is a site I would definitely recommend and will be going back again. The only downside is that it is only open during the school holidays.

 A fantastic value for money site with showers toilets and a pots n pans wash area, all under cover. The Dolphin Bar on site has a variety of good meals drinks and entertainment for all the family.

The wardens are very helpful, take you to your pitch and give you a welcome pack with info on local area and a bin bag for your rubbish.

The site is great for families as the kids all tend to go and play with eachother keeping you free to get set up and sorted out.

We have been here 4 times now and like how its not too far from local shops and pubs and the beach.

Electric hookups are available but as with most sites need to prebook them really to make sure you get one.

Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: B16hxx 8 reviews from this member

 Stayed for a week on Hemsby tent & touring site early August and was really looking forward to it after reading previous reviews.

Firstly I must agree that the wardens were good and the cleaners did their best with the toilets and showers but we were amazed at the mess some guests made of the place. On numerous occasions we found toilets in both the male & female soiled and full of waste the showers were left in a state with grass and sand even though a mop and bucket was provided. The second touring field which had temporary WCs set up as we were leaving had to use the facilities on the Hemsby site which meant a decent wait if you timed it wrong.

We had a pitch in a corner which we thought was a bonus until it became apparent that we were at the side of a path which led to corn fields which various dog owners used as an exercise and toilet area for their pets.

Kids also were back and forth in to the corm field resulting in minor damage to my car. Although there was a sign stating no ball games the area in front of our van was used for football and cricket every day.

I am not a camping snob by any means but the behaviour of some of the other campers was deplorable and the language aimed at children shocking, people need to remember that the nylon wall of a tent stops hardly any noise.

Cheap and cheerful site but not for us I'm afraid.

Reviewer: Mrs jubbly 12 reviews from this member

 Second visit to Hemsby tent and touring at Long Beach and still impressed by this well run and tidy campsite. As has been said before, the couple who run it are friendly and helpful but they are also very professional and handled our slight niggle about noisy neighbours very tactfully and effectively. We stayed for a week in a large tent and were found a fantastic pitch, hedge behind us and acres of space. One word of warning - bring rock pegs, we hit some hard ground in places.

Due to our late booking we went non-electric for the first time in a few years and have no regrets - partly due to the fabulous weather but also because there are plenty of plug points in shower block and ironing room to charge up phones etc. The freezers for ice blocks are the first I've come across that actually work! The showers are immaculate and very hot, even during peek flow. Yes, the loo cabins on the circus field only have cold water, but they serve as a useful emergency pit stop and the walk to the main block is not that far. The washing up area is covered and a pleasant environment. In fact whoever designed the shower/washing up/ironing area deserves an award.

Down the road at the site pub we were made very welcome and served some decent typical pub grub. The shop leaves a bit to be desired - very pricey and poorly stocked - but the local Spar is only 2 minutes by car.

As for Hemsby itself, in the words of a German couple we met 'it really is unique'. A mini Yarmouth with arcades, rides, cheap shops and donut/ice cream stalls. But it is endearing and friendly and brilliant fun for the kids. The beach is gorgeous; long and sandy for as far as you can see with high dunes behind it. It is, however, sadly under attack from the sea and shrinking rapidly without the protection of any sea defences and so there is a vigorous local campaign to raise money and awareness.

The last word has to go to the 2 Way Cafe on Beach Road; it looks like any other seaside cafe on the outside with the usual all day breakfast and fish n chip fare but the food is lovingly prepared and the service is delightful so don't assume the worst and do try the lamb chops.

A great week.

 First time camping and not disappointed. Showers and toilets very clean and spacious. Facilities for freezing ice packs were helpful. Wardens were friendly and approachable

Used the bar a few time and the children's play area next to it kept the kids entertained.

Well lit field which meant the kids could play football to their Hearts content in the evenings.

A play area in the middle of the field would have made it even better as during the evening the park was too far away so the kids had to amuse themselves.

Reviewer: Callmechar 8 reviews from this member

 The good thing going for this site is the location. Hemsby is a nice little town with some nice little shops. We stayed in the main field at the Hemsby site.

We did not like the site. We were informed dogs cannot be walked on the field and there are no dog bins except if you go out of the site. We were told we were seen not picking up our dog mess, but my dog had dioreah so I had to use water to wash this away. I found the attitudes of the staff somewhat lacking.

Showers were cold on all occasions we used them and the waste waster runs along the back of the showers. This is a problem because the way the shower head is angled you almost have to stand in other people's dirty waste water when showering. Water also dribbled out from them meaning washing my long thick hair was impossible.

The pitches are not marked out and is not clear where your pitch starts/ends. Out pitch was sloping but not too much and the grass was short.

The site was expensive, £32. 50 for 2 adults, 2 dogs, tent with EHU and a child. Dogs are charged at £3. 50 per night each which the most expensive site for dogs we have ever seen/been too.

We left early and will not be returning.

 As a family of three adults we stayed on this site for a week, it was a lovely site. Had a good space for tent and car. The shower and toilet blocks kept very clean by wardens day and night and always hot water. When ever showered at all times of days. Grass kept short. As wardens moved it regular. Only draw back is do not pick up moved grass. So tent carpet full of grass. Would definitely use site again. Paid for broadband which at 15 pounds for seven days was very expensive. And it was very slow. Maybe wont use that again. The site states easy access to beach. But fail to mention that you have to go over large and steep sand dune. Not suitable for wheelchair or pushcahir use. But if go into the town on footpath is only 10/15 minutes walk. Only drawback when walking to town, is the road go down is a lane so can get busy. And if go out at night take a torch for when returning. As no street lighting. Also not much evening enterainment (if want that )but all holiday camp sites in hemsby offered free entertainment. We went into the belle aire one. On two occasions. Children welcome.

 We stayed on the Hemsby Touring and Tent site which is part of the same little group of sites all gathered together. I called ahead to make sure there was no issue with arriving a little later and they said it would all be fine. We arrived at 20:30 and we were directed to our pitch by the warden who was very friendly, not long after we arrived at our pitch the wardens visited and advised the best direction to pitch for the sun.

The site was pretty busy but there was plenty of space between pitches. There was a sand pit but no play area in the field (the play area was with the shop and club a small walk away).

Toilet and shower block was lovely and kept clean through out our stay.

All in all a very enjoyable stay and we are already planning to go back for longer.

 We were looking for somewhere to both explore the area and also relax with the dog. What a terrific place. We received a lovely welcome on arrival and had a great pitch. Toilets and showers were great. Then it got better - for dog owners the site is amazing. A beach and sand dunes to die for - and if you walk along the beach to Winterton (30 mins isn) you come to a great beach side cafe that does wonderful bacon butties - and all ready for the walk back. Cant rate it high enough and will def go back soon for a longer stay. Oh - it had site wifi which worked well - but the mobile signal was great so we didn't need to get a wifi voucher.
