 Last time here was 29 years ago, I took my daughter who was 1 years old at the time, she is now 30 and has her own 2 year old, it was a blast from the past,
The site where we pitched our tent was ok, but the ground was very uneven, close to the main reception which we asked for,
Great entertainment, staff were so friendly, food was great,
Only 20 mins walk to the town, which was good coz the weather was great,
Definitely go back again

To start with we were allocated with a hard standing. Asked the office if we could move to a grass site because in answer to his question ‘ why’ ? You can’t put pegs through concrete! He agreed and gave us another pitch.
We didn’t use the entertainment as we just wasted the rest.
It was great 😊 toilets were clean camp part was clean and everyone seemed happy. We were, and would go back.

We love Vauxhall! We have been here several times. A very family friendly holiday park with lots to do. Big arcade area with soft play area, the main V arena is very big and we have seen some great live acts in our many visits here.
Chance to play bingo every night plus kids disco (pre covid!) decent crazy golf course, hire peddle go karts which is good fun. Decent swimming pool inside and out.
Although our last visit we couldn’t go as limited spaces due to covid, Although pre covid we used the swimming facilities and loved them. Good sized park with zip wire. On site convenience store. Decent restaurant plus a few take away outlets.
If you want a peaceful camping experience then this probably isn't the place for you as there is so much going on here!
As for the actual camping experience, the pitches are flat although a little muddy in places. Shower facilities are average. Could be better but we’ve seen worse. Can be a bit noisy of a night time as it is a family campsite remember, lots of children.
Lots to do in Yarmouth nearby. Asda and Tescos nearby. Yarmouth beach about a 3-5 minute drive away. Highly recommend castle carvery in caistor a few miles up the road.

Paid for premier pitch. Grass was an eyesore. Full of weeds, hardly any grass on it and muddy.
Road just behind pitch which had heavy commercial traffic from 6. 30 in the morning. Reversing beeps audible all day from nearby industrial areas. Working boatyard just over road.
Wouldn’t go again.

Site was really good and civic friendly apart from. Patrons not bring able to follow 1 was system through the club house.
Swimming was good as always but needs to be booked 24 hours in advance and on 3/4 hour swimming allowed.
Security could be better on night shifts to ensure everyone gets a good night's sleep and no family partys with Fing and Geoffing until 2am.
Quite often soap dispensers in all male toilets were empty.
Overall we had a nice time.

It’s was our first and last stay. Not very motorhome friendly. We failed to find a tap with garden hose type fittings, so we used a fully serviced pitch and the asked to stay there instead. The shower block near us was in a poor state, almost half the showers out of action, shower heads seemed set low.
The roads and general feel of the site was rundown. In the covered walkways sticky tape covered broken floor tiles, drink prices were on the expensive side. A small adult only bar and site area would have been good. It’s the only site I’ve stayed on where I felt like starting up a neighbourhood watch.
Waste bins every night were overflowing and so like a tip in the morning when the gulls had finished with them.
What sounded like a small generator was running all night over the hedge. Opening times on doors we found to be hit and miss. We did enjoy some of the facilities like the sports bar and V lounge entertainment, at £48. 80 per night we’ve had far better and far higher site standards.
The staff always had a smile but not the answers.
Short walk to Harvester Pub, Asda a short drive, fifteen minute walk to Great Yarmouth.

Been going to Vauxhall twice a year for 27 years, gone downhill since park dean took over. Adult room is now a family room. Even though there is already a massive children's room, so nowhere for adults to get away for some peace for a while. Beer very expensive
Paid £40, 000 pounds for my outfit plus £45 per night low season for a premier pitch just to have footballs kicked into it, when I complained was told as people were paying so much for premier pitch people were allowed to do what they want. What an attitude.
Lack of security as people coming in over fence at back, when I reported it they sent security to check, in a van, so anyone climbing over would not be caught,
The only good thing I can say about this place is excellent entertainment staff and bar staff especially David (pitsea) in the lounge bar. I could go on but I think I've said enough.

We went to Vauxhall to spend a weekend visiting family living in the area (who couldn't accommodate us). A 3 night stay cost a reasonable £53 including EHU.
The park is well situated just as you arrive at Great Yarmouth on the main road. The downside of this is the police and ambulance "dee-dah"s at all hours of day and night.
Friendly security staff directed us to our pitch on arrival. The pitches were all hardstanding (difficult to peg out the trailer tent!), quite small and packed VERY close together. The pitches were best suited to touring caravans, with an awning space at the side. After we pitched up, we found our only option for some food was the on-site chippie, which wasn't easy to find. The fish was OK, the batter soggy and not cooked through, and the chips (this is UNFORGIVABLE in a chippie)were obviously frozen chips.
We didn't use the pool, there was a queue every time we passed it, so we gave it a miss- one of our party persevered and enjoyed it, but he said it wasn't a swimming pool, it was a fun pool and was too shallow for swimming.
The toilet blocks were always immaculate whenever we went to use them, and the showers were good- hot, good spray and a "round-the-corner" style that kept your gear and clothes dry.
We ate in the restaurant twice, dinner one night which was a good meal (but again obviously frozen chips- not unforgivable in a restaurant, but not really acceptable)at a price that was a little expensive for what was on offer, and breakfast as we left, which was again filling and reasonably priced.
We went into the entertainment venue on one occasion, in the V lounge we couldn't get a seat until someone left, and the drinks although well kept were expensive. The other venue, the V showbar, had dance music (in the Madchester sense!) and was almost empty.
One of our party unfortunately made such a nuisance of himself through drink (and possibly other things too) that he was ejected from the entertainment venue three nights running- the security staff were professional throughout and sympathetic to the rest of our party, maintaining the drunkard's safety all the time. We have since been told that he is not welcome at Parkdean sites in future (as if we'd take him again!)
Overall, our impression of Vauxhall was that it's not all it's cracked up to be, and we wouldn't go there again.
There's an ASDA supermarket 5 minutes' drive away. The site shop is the usual holiday camp shop- corner shop prices and limited range. It's also the first camp shop where we've ever been asked to hurry up and leave because they were closing!
