The prestigious title of the UK's Holiday Park of the Year has been awarded to a coastal gem in Norfolk, offering families an unforgettable escape with prices starting from just £59.
Award-Winning Excellence on the Norfolk Coast
In the AA Caravan and Camping Awards 2025-26, Haven's Hopton Holiday Village was crowned the overall winner, receiving the coveted AA Holiday Park of the Year award. The park, which also earned a five-star rating from the AA, was praised by inspectors for its "Excellent leisure and entertainment facilities for all ages."
Nestled between the popular seaside towns of Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, near the Suffolk border, the park boasts a picturesque location on a beautiful stretch of Norfolk coastline. It is home to 775 static caravans, providing ample accommodation for visitors seeking a seaside retreat.
Beachside Bliss and Endless Activities
The park's prime location in the village of Hopton comes with a major advantage: direct access to a long, sandy beach. This becomes a particular hotspot during the summer, perfect for sunbathing on the golden sands or enjoying strolls along the low grassy cliffs.
For those looking to explore, the classic seaside charm of Hopton village is right on the doorstep, complete with fish and chip shops and amusement arcades. A short ten-minute drive takes you to Great Yarmouth, where you can experience:
- Family-friendly rides at the Pleasure Beach
- Marine discoveries at the SEA LIFE Centre
- Traditional fun on the pier
Nature lovers will be delighted to know that the famous grey seal colony at Horsey Gap is just a 40-minute drive north. The best time for seal spotting is during the pupping season from late October to February.
On-Site Fun and Unbeatable Value
If you prefer to stay within the holiday park, there is no shortage of things to do. The impressive facilities include an indoor pool with flume rides and a covered outdoor pool for warmer weather.
Guests can also enjoy a range of activities on site:
- A 6-hole golf course and tennis courts
- Bike and kart hire
- An inflatable arena in the summer
- Bookable activities like archery and a climbing wall
Evenings are catered for with a large entertainment complex featuring The Marina Bar and Stage, where Haven's entertainment team puts on shows for all the family.
With a three-night stay for a family of four available in a saver caravan from just £59, this award-winning park offers exceptional value for a UK holiday. It's the perfect destination for a memorable family break by the sea.
