Waxham Sands Holiday Park
Waxham Sands Holiday Park is a large, family-friendly campsite set beside a canal in the Norfolk Broads, offering a peaceful escape with a wealth of on-site and nearby attractions. The park provides a variety of accommodation options, from touring pitches for caravans, motorhomes, and tents to luxurious glamping lodges complete with private hot tubs. Touring pitches are grass with a generous 9m by 9m area, include a 6-amp or 16-amp electric hook-up, and allow parking for one car by the unit. Each pitch can accommodate up to six people with one touring vehicle, and additional units require a separate booking. Dogs are welcome on pitches, with a maximum of two per booking at an extra charge, but are not allowed in the glamping lodges. The site boasts extensive leisure facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a bar and clubhouse, an on-site restaurant and takeaway, a games room, a kids’ club, a play area, a fitness centre, and evening entertainment. For outdoor enthusiasts, there is direct beach access, cycle hire, fishing, tennis, watersports, and a dog park. Amenities are comprehensive, with a launderette, food shop, off-licence, free Wi-Fi, toilet blocks with parent and baby rooms, large accessible showers, a washing-up area, chemical disposal point, and electric vehicle charging points. The park’s location is ideal for exploring the Norfolk coast, with the iconic Horsey Windpump just a five-minute drive away and the sandy beaches of Great Yarmouth half an hour by car. Nearby attractions include BeWILDerwood Norfolk, a treetop adventure park, the Merrivale Model Village, and SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. The site enforces rules such as no awnings, gazebos, or pup tents on pitches, and accepts groups, families, motorcyclists, and single-sex parties. With excellent water quality at nearby beaches like Sea Palling and Hemsby, and proximity to National Cycle Network routes, Waxham Sands is a well-equipped base for both relaxation and adventure. The park’s glamping lodge features a double bed, twin mezzanine beds, a full kitchen, shower room, TV, and outdoor furniture, with steep mezzanine steps noted as unsuitable for very young children. It is a spacious, well-maintained site that caters to a variety of holiday styles.
