Our smallest pitch so far at Kessingland beach holiday park

We spent 2 nights at Parkdean Kessingland beach hoilday park, which has lovely access onto the beach. Ideal for some nice dog walks as dogs are allowed on there all year round. We popped into Lowestoft and spent the day on the beach. We had the smallest pitch that we have ever stayed on with the caravan, this wasn't Parkdeans fault it was mine! I didn't realise when booking that I had booked a 6mx6m pitch which was far too small for our car, caravan and awning. The staff was really good and they let us park our car outside the pitch and move the caravan forward, we made it work in the end.

    I stumbled onto your videos while searching for my 1st ever caravan. Iv not got one yet but your videos have been very helpful. I wanted to do this caravaning on my own. But all this manual work makes me think i need a strong man around me. 😂 But i want to do this on my own with my dog. Iv subscribed so i can see from genuine people with this is going to be possible. 😮

    Of course it’s possible you don’t have to be strong and after a few trips on your own you soon get into a routine that suits you the one thing I would say which is a must is to make sure you have a handle for your Aqua roll when you’re transporting the water

    great vlog guys. Thanks for your honesty. I have to say, large sites like these are the complete antithesis of what I would go for, but it looks like the management there are just taking money for the least possible effort.

    I do believe like yourself, massive companies are all about money in my opinion you can’t go wrong with a nice well maintained CL site but as we had the kids with us it’s a bit of a balancing act with them not being bored I wouldn’t of said it was a terrible site just wish they would make the pitches bigger

    Thank you ☺️ yes it was totally my fault but after seeing the full service pitches I’m glad I didn’t spend the extra on them as I looked really disappointing compared to the ones at Vauxhall holiday park which looked really big and spacious

    Do u have a tow bar fitted, if not you would have to get one fitted by a professional but I would check to make sure your car can tow the caravan that you are looking to get
