 Just returned from a week's camping at Heathland Beach.
The pitches are absolutely massive; we had room to pitch our 7. 2m tent twice over and still have room for the car. Although this meant everyone had lots of room it unfortunately resulted in parts of the site resembling a refugee village, with some pitches containing a caravan with awning, gazebo, pup tent and car, all surrounded by wind breaks. Many people also ignored the site rules and had washing lines too.
The site itself is quite small and very pleasant with some attractive planting. There is a fantastic beach which runs behind the site, accessible by about 80 steps. A killer on the way back up!
The toilet facilities aren't as good as other 5 star sites we have stayed on; the block nearer Reception have the smallest toilet cubicles ever, no mirrors over the basins and only curtains for the showers.
The other block is better but neither have any private washing facilities. The dishwashing areas are outside which isn't great when it's raining and cold.
The swimming pools looked lovely although it was too cold to use them.
The bar/terrace is especially good, and we attended a quiz evening and horse racing evening, both of which were very enjoyable. The site owners are brilliant hosts and make sure that everyone is made to feel welcome.
The kid's play areas looked good and were well used. Despite the areas set aside for ball games though, many parents let their children play ball in amongst the tents and our tent and car were regularly hit by wayward balls.
The Reception houses a teeny shop selling a range of essentials. I recommend the local sausages in the freezer! As others have said, there is a Morrisons five minutes up the road so we tended to use that.
A fish and chips van visits the site on Wednesday and Saturday evenings (fish and chips about £6) - get their early as the queues are massive!
We had an enjoyable holiday, and liked the site but probably wouldn't return as the whole place was totally over run with unsupervised children. And yes, we did have our own kids with us!

We have just returned from our third visit to Heathland and are planning to return next year. It is perfect for our family - two children 6 and 8.
Site is well maintained and just the right size for us. Facilities are great - pool with slide which was well needed with the fantastic weather we had last week. Children's playground and where we pitch (No. 25) we are right next to the sandpit at which all the children on site congregate. We can therefore watch our children play from the luxury of our pitch.
Toilets and showers well kept and cleaned regularly. Laundrette and washing up facilities located in easy to reach areas.
Great base to explore the surrounding area - Southwold, Bewilderwood, Pettits, Great Yarmouth, Africa Alive next door you can even hear the animals! Morrisons is also just up the road.
We adore this site and are trying to find its equal in another part of the country but are having difficulty!

We've just returned from a week at this site and we couldn't have been more happy.
On our arrival we were given a pitch number but when we got to the pitch it had a slight ridge which would have affected the level of our huge tent, it wouldn't have made such a difference on a smaller unit. The owners could not have been more helpful and changed us without fuss to a better pitch. I must add that despite this ever so slight ridge in one pitch, all of the pitches are huge, they all have hook up and water and are separated by small hedges. This is a really beautiful site!
Shower blocks were immaculate, and as it was quiet during the Monday to Friday there was no problem in getting a shower at anytime. It was packed during the weekends and I bet it is during peak school holidays but there were no real issues with this.
The swimming pools are clean and warm and the playgrounds were perfect for our two kids (4 and 2). The shop is handy, not massive but with a Morrisons less than half a mile away it was not an issue. A fish and chip van comes on a couple of nights and these were good. We did not use the bar so can't comment.
Owners were friendly and helpful and we would definitely come back here or recommend it to our friends. One of the best sites we've stopped at!

Just spent a weekend here, was wonderful very clean and level pitches all with water electric and tv,
we took our 2 1/2 year old grandson and felt very safe with one way road and play area fenced in as was the pool which was heated and warm.
The showers were very clean.
The beach walk is a must but only for the fit as very step steps down. I would definitely recommend this site and will be back again next year.
Only down side was the 4 high brick wall round waste water which made it very difficult to empty as you needed to lift a full hog waste up, but this was our only fault

We booked this site in February this year to guarantee our pitch for the airshow.
The campsite was excellent and our pitch was big enough to fit our huge tent.
The walk to the beach is very pleasant and the beach itself is spectacular and very clean.
The bingo nights are well worth a visit with the site owners unique style of bingo calling also the quiz night.
The swimming pool is excellent and very safe the slide is a bonus.
On the first day of the airshow we watched from the cliffs behind the site we got an excellent view of the red arrows but not much else, the second day we decided to walk the 3 miles down the beach to lowestoft, the walk was quite easy and enjoyable and well worth it for the view of the airshow.
Our overall stay at this site was very enjoyable with plenty for our 2 girls to do, the staff are very helpful and friendly, even accommodating our family when they came down for the day. We will be returning to heathland beach next year and would recommend this site to anybody.

Superb site with excellent, immaculate facilities. 5 minute walk to the cliff top and 30 steps down to an almost deserted beautiful huge sandy beach.
On pitch change-over days they come round litter picking the pitches. Attention to detail is stunning.
Will definitely return here one day with our toddlers.
Spacious bar very modern BBQs in high season. However inflated bar prices (can of 7UP £1.00) so we bought drinks from Morrisons down the road and took them back to the caravan.
Also, the on-site shop wasn't particularly well stocked. But all in all an excellent site.

Fantastic campsite. I have visited this site a number of times in the past and will be returning in the future. This site has everything to offer young and old. With its own beach its has quite beach walks or fun days for the children. It has its a clubhouse that puts on evening entertainment such as bingo quizzes. It also has an outdoor heated swimming pool, fishing lake, tennis courts, children's play area and many more to keep the most active people occupied. Nearby is the Oulten broads and pleasure wood hills.
The people run the site are pleasant and polite with a cheery smile every morning and this really contributes to the holiday feeling you get when visiting this site

Just come back from a lovely week away at heathlands,
It is a very clean and tidy park, large pitches with electric, water and tv socket all included in the price.
Our stay was very relaxing and peaceful, we had the heated swimming pool to ourselves which was great.
All in all a very nice site to stay at.
The childrens play area is free from litter and in good condition, the bar was only open at weekends but it was off peak, its open 7days a week on peak.
The staff I spoke to were pleasant.
Will be booking again next year

We have just spent the Spring Bank week here at Heathland beach.
The site is absolutely perfect - probably one of the best we have ever visited, from all the sites we have ever been to.
Small reception area - which has tourist information and selling a few basics, bread and milk - but with a full size Morrisons less than a mile away, they do not need to stock that much. All the staff members we came across were very nice and helpful too.
The excellent sized pitches are in a separate hedged field with a good tarmac road all around. We had pitch 8, which had a high hedge behind and we had space for our car, caravan, awning and space to sit out too. Good spot for that all important evening sun - which we had in abundance this week ! All pitches have electric and a shared water tap too - so no long drag for the water barrel.
There is direct access to the beach, down about 80 steps - but a lovely sandy beach is there to use on good days.
The play area is fantastic for kids to kick a ball around, with nets too. Loads of space for other ball games.
The pool is heated - and there are three - one main one for swimming - a small kids one - and the splash pool for the flume(which has set times).
The bar area is really nice and the new conservatory is lovely to sit and have a drink in and they serve lunch time food too.
They have a pool table in the bar and one outside under a covered porch area.
The two toilet blocks are absolutely immaculate - again probably the best we have seen. Cleaned twice a day. Of the two, the better one is the far side of the field - not that the decor or cleanliness is any less - but the cubicles are larger in size.
There is under cover washing up for the tenters and a laundry - not sure of the charges, as we did not need it - but it's there if you do.
We had days out to Pleasurewood Hills (a small theme park) Southwold, which is beautiful seaside town and has a great pier and beach. We used the cinema and the bowling alley in Lowestoft, bowling was 9.99 for an hour during the week and the cinema was a fiver each! yes, only a fiver ! We also hired a small pleasure craft for three hours on Oulton Broad, which, surprisingly - all three kids loved !
To sum up - the site is absolutely fab, we have only scratched the surface of things to do in the area, we had great weather and have had a lovely holiday.

Lovely site but absolutely dead. Huge pitches, but apparently there is a charge for the t.V aerial point! No one informed us the bar and pool would be closed during our stay, so we had to find our own entertainment day and night. T
he site is very well kept clean and tidy, but we were one of 6 tourers staying on the park, so no life anywhere really.
The beach walk is fantastic, waterfront restaurant in kessingland a must, the rest of the local pubs and restaurants were empty. Not what you would expect in june. We spent more money on fuel travelling around than we expected.
We do feel let down as these 5 nights cost us £140, yet the facilities were closed, (toilets were really good, but showers very short blasts of water), would not return again.
