Have a look at the touring park after the weekenders have left rubbish all over cans bottles cardboard boxes bins overflowing.A number of us complained it was two days before it was cleaned up.The caravan pitches, half the grass is just soil.Entertainment was managers from other sites giving a turn. I went a number of times over the years when it was in private ownership then it was a place for a good holiday, we said we would never go to that site again a video is not what happens on a caravan site G shone

Lovely to watch how a Holiday park should be run! Love Parkdean resorts, they know how to do it properly! Pontins need to take a leaf out of their books!

Indeed - I go there every year and book the same type of caravan

I got back from here yesterday (September 2023) after a short mid-week break and a lot of the main area, eateries etc. has been modernised since this video. Very nice place to stay, immaculately maintained and staff were very friendly!!🙂 Unfortunately the bus taking you into town wasn't running as apparently it's seasonal, although still a bit too early IMO as it's only early September and the park was still very busy. That said, it's not an overly long walk to the town/sea-front (25 minutes), but the amount of crossing busy main roads might not be suitable for everyone. Lots of parking available, but typically around £4.50 for four hours and goes up from there, but after 6pm I know that at least along the sea-front is free. So if you get there from 2pm at least you know it's 'only' going to cost you £4.50 tops. A lot of places we're closing at 6pm, but the arcades (of which there are plenty) remain open until 11pm.

wow that place has changed a lot since I last stayed in the mid-90s, I have plenty of fond memories from my annual visits during my childhood and it's great to see it still there and doing so well :)

I want to say it looks exactly how I remember it but also alot has changed since I last went nearly 20 years ago. I used to go every year with my mom and brothers nan grandad the whole family. This year I'm going back for the first time with my misses and our kids. Literally cannot wait. It looks amazing.

I was just here last weekend for Skamouth 2023. It's an amazing holiday park!

Wow I went there when I was a kid before the new swimming pools. I remember swimming in the outside pool and dancing in the family entertainment venue.

A good thing about this place is it has a disabled access static caravan which are not easy to come by. But I’m really hoping parks start having more of them as it’s really hard to go on caravan holidays with wheelchairs and the few that are available around the country get booked up so far in advance.

The shellfish kiosk at 2:23 used to be manned by a little old man that, apart from fish, used to do mushy peas and mint sauce In the past, it was not a modernish bus but an actual open top tour bus from City Sightseeing - the Banana Bus was one of three ex-London Routemasters with the other two being in Great Yarmouth Transport livery and the third in RM red and the three used to run along the sea front as far as the theme park, turn round and go to the bus station and back onto the seafront the other way up to another holiday where it terminated

It was really nice to see what this park is like during the summer season. I've only experienced it during the winter when the metal festival I attend every year is held there and almost all of the activities are shut (the arcade is the only thing that remains open)

That's cool to hear, though. Plus, it does seem like a good venue for a long festival.

I live in Norwich and passing the entrance on my day trips to Great Yarmouth I always wondered what this place was like. It looks pretty good. 🙂

Clippesby Holidays, a beautiful camping and caravanning park might be worth a look. The park is owned by the Lindsay family and has won David Bellamy awards for its committment to preserving naural habitats. Clippesby Hall that it surrounds also has an interesting history. Ask for Lee at reception. It has a fun putting course too. Very nice family.

Hi Tim yes I remember going on a flying banana in the 80s they were smaller .we always stayed at caister holiday park .I got the bus from there into the town .I remember it used to take for ever as it went around the estates first before getting to town .

Anybody else remember seeing AC/DC at Vauxhall late seventies?? This is still a very well-run enterprise. Good park, clean, well maintained, solid reputation and plenty of repeat custom

My favourite out of all the park dean resorts I've been too 👌🏽love Great Yarmouth as well

We took the grandkids here about 3 times, the last was 2013. It was reasonable then but a little dingy, it looks slightly cleaner in this video. The Glamping things are new though. We stayed in caravans and It looks like they have been cleaned or renewed. The bus into Yarmouth was just a regular half hourly bus service and was really good, you could catch the bus to Hemsby or the other way to California beaches.

That's what puts my family off too. Most of the other parks along the Yarmouth coast at California, hemsby, canister, seashore, etc... may be out of Yarmouth but at least have direct beach access or a beach less than five minutes safe walk away. This always looked in a noisy location with no access to anywhere walking distance away at a premium price, but looks lovely.
