We have just returned from a week long stay at Kessingland. The park is located on the site for Africa Alive - and it's interesting at night to hear the animals. There is a little noise from the site during the day - African drumming and some microphone noise, but this wasn't overly obtrusive. If you show your receipt upon entry to Africa Alive, you can buy a passport ticket, allowing you entry whilst you're staying on site. This is a good idea for rainy days, as there is an indoor play area in the park - and the outdoor play area is much better than that found on the campsite itself.

Site as you would expect from C&CC is perfectly maintained, with ample pitches and spotless facilities - these are closed around mid-morning to noon for cleaning, but you can use the disabled facilities in this time.

What wasn't so good, was that we were told no ball games, meaning our son couldn't play football with his new friends, and with only a small park there isn't much to entertain the children. We felt quite restricted in this way.

The reception sells a limited amount of things, but bread, milk etc is not stocked, which means a car drive/bike to the village to purchase these items, I would also say the beach is quite a distance away especially with small children, so you'd probably need to take the car there as well.

Lots to do in the local area, a visit to Oulton Broad is recommended.
