Best Holiday Parks on the East Coast

The short answer

Is the East Coast good for buying a static caravan?

Yes. Norfolk and Suffolk offer strong value, family-friendly beaches and a far calmer atmosphere than the South West — often at a fraction of the price.

Where to look

The best clusters are around Cromer, Winterton and Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, and around Southwold, Reydon and Lowestoft in Suffolk. The coast here is flatter, with wide beaches and traditional seaside towns.

Parks range from big family resorts to small, quiet sites — there really is something for everyone.

Parks worth shortlisting

We list parks by reputation and location, but prices, pitch sizes and ownership terms change — always confirm with the park.

North Norfolk (Cromer & around)

Charming

Traditional seaside towns, crabbing and coastal paths — lovely for family holidays.

  • ✓Beautiful unspoilt coastline
  • ✓Relaxed park atmosphere
  • ✓Good mix of statics and lodges

Season on many parks is March–November.

Great Yarmouth area

Family

Bigger, livelier parks around one of the East Coast’s classic seaside towns.

  • ✓Excellent facilities on large parks
  • ✓Plenty of entertainment close by
  • ✓Good range of new and used homes

Peak weeks book up early — buy with your usage pattern in mind.

Suffolk coast (Southwold & Reydon)

Premium

Smarter, quieter parks in the Southwold area — the most upmarket corner of the East Coast.

  • ✓High-quality parks and lodges
  • ✓Adnams country — great food and pubs
  • ✓Calm, grown-up feel

Slightly pricier than Norfolk, still below the South West.
