About this site

Grass, and only grass: Kessingland Camping and Caravanning Club Site is a Club-owned campsite on the Suffolk coast where every pitch is grass, most of them level, with no hardstandings anywhere on the park. It sits on Whites Lane at Kessingland (NR33 7TF), just over a mile from a long sand and shingle beach, four miles from Lowestoft and its train station, and half an hour's drive from Great Yarmouth. The site takes tents, caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and rooftop tents, with or without electric hook-up, and jumbo grass pitches for units over 5m by 9m. Two things are worth knowing before you commit: wind turbines stand next to the site and you will hear them, and the TV signal is poor. The ground is hard but drains well. What genuinely sets Kessingland apart is the neighbour, because Africa Alive wildlife park is right next door and you reach the campsite down its shared driveway, so lions are a five-minute walk rather than a day trip. Facilities include showers, a family shower room, accessible facilities, a shop, a children's play area, a motorhome service point, laundry and Club Site Wi-Fi, and a bus stop sits 300m from the entrance. The Suffolk site scores 5 out of 5 from 50 Club reviews. It opens 27 March to 27 September 2026, with member prices from £11.30 per adult a night.

Good to know

Can non-members stay at Kessingland Camping and Caravanning Club Site?
Yes, Kessingland is a Club Site rather than one of the Club's member-only certificated sites, so non-members can book it. The advertised from-price is the member rate and non-members pay more. Club membership takes 30 per cent off Club Site pitch fees, which pays back quickly over a longer stay.
How far is the beach from Kessingland Club Site?
Kessingland's long sand and shingle beach is just over a mile from the site and walkable through the village. Seals are often seen out on the sandbanks. Note that dogs are not allowed on the beach if you walk south towards Southwold, so check the signage first.
Are there hardstanding pitches at Kessingland Club Site?
No, the site offers grass pitches only, with no hardstandings anywhere on the park. Most are level and you can choose with or without electric hook-up, plus jumbo grass pitches for units bigger than 5m by 9m. The ground is hard but it drains well after rain.
When is Kessingland Camping and Caravanning Club Site open?
The site opens 27 March to 27 September 2026, and 22 March to 27 September in 2027, so it is a main-season site rather than a year-round one. Check-in is from 1pm and check-out is by noon. Arrival and pitching times run between 1pm and 8pm.
Is Africa Alive really next to Kessingland Club Site?
Yes, the Africa Alive wildlife park sits directly next door, and you reach the campsite 150m down its shared driveway off the A12. Lions, giraffes and rhinos are a short walk from your pitch. RSPB Minsmere and Great Yarmouth are both around 30 minutes away by car.
Is there anything to be aware of before booking Kessingland?
Two things. Wind turbines stand adjacent to the site, so expect some noise, and the TV signal is poor. Neither has dented the rating: it scores 5 out of 5 from 50 Club reviews. A bus stop is 300m from the entrance and Lowestoft station is four miles away.
