What was the indoor pool like?
Decent sized pool, one big flume/slide thing, a little section that had jacuzzi style bubbles and a separate toddler splash pool with sprinklers. The changing village was basic just lots of individual changing cubicles a couple of family sized ones and then open showers for a quick rinse off but you're only. 3 -5 minute walk from your caravan so we just threw towel ponchos on and got changed back at the van. The outdoor pool was actually under a kind of mesh dome and attached to the indoor pool so you could switch between them, it was really well heated so the outdoor pool was like a giant bath with a cool breeze over your head.
Was there decent parking in Great Yarmouth?
Yes, lots of parking and about £10 for the full day, we did get there quite early though by 9.30am so the Pleasure beach rides weren't open yet, they opened between 10am and 11am. There's a Harry Ramsdens restaurant on the beach front and more arcades than you can keep track of. If you do get a chippy though eat in inside, we had to stifle the giggles when a family had their lunch stolen by the seagulls because they chose the outdoor seating, then the idiot man of the family came stomping in to the restaurant and insisted on free replacement meals because the seagull had stolen them!
On-site
The beach is accessed directly from the back of the entertainment complex down a ramp and some steps, that gets you to a lovely little cove which was really nice and quiet. There's a tap at the top of the steps so you can rinse off feet before heading back into the main park.
Our caravan was a Gold one, had oven, microwave, dishwasher and fully stocked with plates/cutlery/pans etc. bedding and towels are included with silver and gold vans. Shower is teeny but got nice and hot and had good pressure so other than a couple of banged elbows it was perfectly adequate and the van was clean throughout.
We chose one in advance (Birkdale) which was a bit further away from the entertainment complex and was right on the edge of a play area so DD could just go play and we could watch from the porch. We wanted to be away from the thick of it so it was quieter and it really was quiet, no overnight noise at all.
There's a mini-market with enough of a selection that you could stock the fridge and cupboards from but prices are high. They have lots of good tat too like postcards and souvenir stuff. Otherwise there's a Tesco, Lidl and Morrisons between the park and Gt Yarmouth beach to stock up on supplies.
Right outside the park gates there's 2 arcades, a Chinese takeaway, a chippy and a little further down a McColls convenience store.
