 What a wonderful find. We have been to Norfolk many times, but this one ranks among the best. The proprietors are lovely and so helpful which made our stay even better. Lovely big pitches, great facilities, never queued for showers, even on a bank holiday weekend. So close to the Broads, there was regatta taking place there over the weekend and everyone was welcome. Suitable for families and couples alike. There were several groups of campers on site, which added to the atmosphere, but all was quiet by 11 p. M. Also good for dogs as there are numerous footpaths just off site. Must try the pool next time as it was so warm!

Booked Bureside Holiday Park, mainly based on reviews on here. We stayed Friday to Tuesday. Booked over the telephone, and paid deposit with debit card and then paid cash for the rest when we arrived. Didn't receive any confirmation, other than our pitch number over the telephone.
Arrived mid afternoon on the Friday, the site is down some very narrow roads, there are plenty of passing points. Checked in at reception and was told even though we had a pitch number, because we didn't need electric hook up we could pitch more or less anywhere, near the white markers around the edge of the field. We chose the field with the newer toilet block. This field had a few other campers in, but by the Saturday, it was just us and another camper van in the whole field! This suited us totally, it was very peaceful and pretty. Passing fly overs of noisy geese had us stopping to watch.
Our daughter (10 years old) enjoyed the play area, yes its a bit basic but take a bucket and spade as the swings and slide are set in a big sandpit. The swimming pool is outdoors in a courtyard area and is heated, well worth a swim!
The toilet block (newer one) is kept relatively clean, its a bit grassy under foot, but this is hardly an issue and really couldn't be helped. The showers were the push button type, but you can control the temperature which is quite novel! Obviously with the site being so quiet (end of season) we never queued for the showers. There is soap dispensers but they were empty in both the womens and mens toilets. The showers could do with a small shelf to put shower gel etc while in the shower. Although there are hooks and a chair to hang clothes on. Theres also a washing up area in the same block as the toilets this was very clean and also contained a rubbish bin.
The site is right on the norfolk broads and very nice to walk/cycle. We walked into the next village to have a pint in the local - this left a lot to be desired and next time we stay at Bureside we won't be going back there. Great Yarmouth is about 10 miles away and this was the main reason for staying at Bureside, we wanted a base which is quiet and pretty away from hustle and bustle but easy to get to the seafront when we wanted a day out. We will definitely be going back to Bureside - well done to them!

Had a lovely stay at this medium sized site. Nice, friendly feel to it, ideal for families and couples and very quiet at night. Toilet facilities were OK. Plenty of hot water and although there are only 3 showers I never had to queue. Never used the pool, left that to the youngsters!
Site is in a good location. Just beside the river, nice walk to Potter Heighsm alongside the river takes a couple of hours. Ten minute walk to the nearby dog-child-friendly pub.
Had some great days out, visited Cromer, hired a boat for the day and 'did' some of the Broads, spent a day at a glorious dog-friendly beach (Winterton- on- Sea), went into Norwich and generally had a great time. Helped that the weather was glorious.

What a lovely campsite visited in august and loved it. The toilet block is good with plenty of hot water and we never had to wait for a shower once. The river is very close and good walks for my dog.
The pool is good my kids loved it. We had more trouble getting them out of it.
Gt yarmouth is only a short drive away and so is caister. We preferred yarmouth. The local pub is a short walk away along the permissive path. You can also walk alongside the river to it.
Playground is basic but my kids didn't moan about it.
We arrived at 12. 15 and found that the reception closes from 12-1 so make sure you get your pitch number before setting off.
Narrow roads to get to site but you are only on them for 5 mins. We will be going back

Wow loved this site had everything we needed, fishing for otherhalf, pool for kids and a lovely walk to the pub for me, will be definitely coming back to this one.
Only bad thing is like what other review said about you can come from 12 but reception is closed so really silly idea!
My friend had to sit and wait for it to open on a very hot weekend.
We on the other end turned up around 5 which is classed as a late arrival on this site / but our names had been put on a board with our pitch number

We've just got back from a short break at Bureside, so I thought I'd share our thoughts.
As a few people have mentioned before the site is approached via some narrow lanes, and although we did meet another unit coming the opposite way when we arrived, it isn't too bad to find somewhere to pull in.
We arrived on the site at 12. 10, the website states pitches are available from midday, but unfortunately the office closes from 12. 00-13. 00 so we had to wait around for 50 minutes. It would have been useful if it had been pointed out at the time of booking as we would have changed our travel times.
The pitches themselves are massive, and well spread out. Some of biggest I've seen.
Facilities consist of 2 blocks. An older one on the field where the hookups are, and a newer one in the other field. Both were clean and perfectly adequate.
The on site pool is a real bonus, and at only £2 for the day a good price too.
There's a good pub a short walk away at Thurne called the Lion Inn. We had lunch there one day and found it to be really nice.
The only downside to the holiday was the noise at night. The play area is in the middle of the hookup field, and on the first 2 nights there was shouting and swearing, from children, until gone 11. 00pm with no sign of any parents!. On the 2nd night ourselves, and others ended up having to go out to politely request that they keep the noise down. A complaint was made to the management the following day, which I'm pleased to say was dealt with straight away and they patrolled the campsite that night and there was no further problem.
So would I recommend the site? I'd have to say that I would, I'd also be happy to go again. Although I'd probably go for the non electric field as it was much quieter.

Previous reviewers have noted lack of soap dispensers in the new shower block but when we visited there were liquid soap dispensers in both the men's and ladies' blocks.
There are 3 or 6 hooks in each of the shower cubicles and, in the ladies, there are two plastic chairs that you can take into the cubicle with you so, in my opinion, that makes enough storage.
OH walked down to the old block and maintains that those showers are better although I noticed that he only made the trip once in our week long stay so they can't be that much better :)
I have reviewed this site before and can only add that it's one of our very favourites.

Faultless, (if you are in the non-electric area). Electric area however, not quite as nice and pitches smaller. Scenic, quiet, and have already booked to return, so must be good! Certainly one of the nicest (and cheapest) sites we have been to. Lovely cycle along river bank to Thurne, very safe with the children and dog. So nice not to have a club house and instead just be able to enjoy the surroundings and fresh air in relative peace - no drunks waking up the rest of the site, which has ruined many a trip!

Just returned from a Camping holiday at Bureside Holiday park and really loved it even though we did have some bad weather. The location was just perfect, away from the hussle and bussle of great yarmouth and right on the broads. The site was huge and there was plenty of room between tents. We were in the electric hook up field and had the kids park in front of us which was perfect as we could easily see the children playing !Their outdoor swimming pool was a bonus and really warm and you can spend all day there for 2 pounds ! The toilet block was really close to us with showers and water was always hot ! There was also a washing up room with facilities to do washing if you wanted to. The site is based on a farm and the staff were really friendly and approachable. The site is based in such a pretty location and there is a lovely walk to the village of Thurne where there is a lovely family pub. All in all an excellent site and excellent value for money as they charge same rate at all times even in summer holidays! We will definitely be booking to go again hopefully the weather will be a bit better next time we go !

Generally a nice site, yes its down a narrow lane, but it is rural Norfolk and right on the broads so to be expected I suppose and sat nav found it without any problem.
On a non electric pitch, plenty of room for large Montanna lake 6 man plus extension, the car and small trailer and the site was flat.
The new shower block and toilet where ok, but could have done with a mop through twice a day due to mud/grass build up, but shower cubicles where big enough. Really they seriously do need some soap by the hand sinks though will make a big difference.
Nice people in reception and good value for money so would go back again. Children's playground/sandpit was very basic but the children using it made good use and had fun so it must work. Our 4 year old could run around outside the tent with a ball without fear of cars as well which is a bonus.
Going out on day trips did mean a little bit of a hike due to location, Great Yarmouth is a must and only 10 miles but that is 10 Norfolk miles. Bure Valley Railway at Alysham also a good day out.
Live Music could be heard in the evening due to local regatta held every May bank holiday but ended by 11:30 and so site was very quiet after that.
