Large beachside holiday park at Kessingland, eight miles up the coast from Southwold
About The Hollies Kessingland Holiday Resort
The Hollies sits on London Road in Kessingland, a village just south of Lowestoft and around eight miles up the coast from Southwold, close enough for a straightforward day trip in either direction. It is a considerably bigger operation than Southwold's own campsite, with over 300 pitches for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes spread across a resort-style park that also sells static holiday lodges, making it a good fit for anyone who wants more on-site facilities and space to spread out rather than a small, simple pitch.
Touring and camping pitches include hard-standing options with electric hook-up, and the park is dog-friendly all year round, a point it makes a particular feature of for anyone travelling with a dog out of season as well as in summer. Its position just seconds from Kessingland's sandy beach means the sea is within easy walking distance of every pitch, and the resort's scale brings the kind of on-site amenities, from a shop to family-oriented facilities, that smaller sites cannot match.
As part of the wider Beeston Group, the park has invested heavily in its static lodge offering in recent years, and the touring and camping side benefits from the same ongoing investment in the resort's shared facilities. For visitors basing themselves here to explore Southwold, Lowestoft and the Suffolk coast, the trade-off is a livelier, larger-scale holiday park atmosphere in exchange for the space, facilities and direct beach access that a small town-centre site cannot offer.
