Late Summer
Newsletter 2010

reasons to visit us and The Broads National Park, whether it’s for our
next available weekend of 25th/26th September, a spooky Halloween camping
trip in October, to experience the peace and quiet of the park and the
waterways out of season, or for that special family getaway in one of our
self-catering cottages or lodges. For more information, please read on…
GOING…..GOING……GONE?
Pitches around the camping and touring park are now filling up fast for 2010,
and we are now almost fully booked for the May half term week, with just
a few pitches left. The first few weeks of the summer holidays are also already
looking busy, especially on the Cedar Lawn, so don’t delay if you would
like to reserve your favourite spot.

help. Prices start from just £286 for a short break, so why not treat yourselves
to a peaceful stay in the Norfolk Broads.
SSHH! STARRY, STARRY NIGHTS
To maintain the relaxed atmosphere around the park for everyone, we do have a
firm no noise policy in the late evenings, so if you are looking for a wild
party site, then this isn’t the place for you! With some of the most spectacular
night skies in the country, we like to keep the amount of artificial lighting
around the park to a minimum so you get the best opportunity to enjoy the
stars. This does mean that areas of the park can be quite dark at night, so
try and remember your torches when you visit us.
Combined with the coveted ‘5 pennants’ awarded by the
AA together with inclusion in their list of ‘Premier Parks’, the
only such park in Norfolk, the 5 star award from the Tourist Board,
a gold award for conservation for the seventh consecutive year and a maximum 5
star food safety & hygiene award from Great Yarmouth Borough Council, you can be
confident that helping you enjoy your holiday remains our number one priority.
