Have a look at lady's mile in dawlish
Have a look at the touring park after the weekenders have left rubbish all over cans bottles cardboard boxes bins overflowing.A number of us complained it was two days before it was cleaned up.The caravan pitches, half the grass is just soil.Entertainment was managers from other sites giving a turn. I went a number of times over the years when it was in private ownership then it was a place for a good holiday, we said we would never go to that site again a video is not what happens on a caravan site
G shone
Lovely to watch how a Holiday park should be run! Love Parkdean resorts, they know how to do it properly! Pontins need to take a leaf out of their books!
Indeed - I go there every year and book the same type of caravan
I got back from here yesterday (September 2023) after a short mid-week break and a lot of the main area, eateries etc. has been modernised since this video. Very nice place to stay, immaculately maintained and staff were very friendly!!đ
Unfortunately the bus taking you into town wasn't running as apparently it's seasonal, although still a bit too early IMO as it's only early September and the park was still very busy. That said, it's not an overly long walk to the town/sea-front (25 minutes), but the amount of crossing busy main roads might not be suitable for everyone.
Lots of parking available, but typically around ÂŁ4.50 for four hours and goes up from there, but after 6pm I know that at least along the sea-front is free. So if you get there from 2pm at least you know it's 'only' going to cost you ÂŁ4.50 tops. A lot of places we're closing at 6pm, but the arcades (of which there are plenty) remain open until 11pm.
Interesting. I doubt i'll personally ever go, but it is nice to know for those who do!
Just watching this brought a tear to my eyes ,went here few times as a kid wow itâs changed so much looks great ,Iâve only got happy memories of it ,might look to go there for few days
Glad you enjoyed it
Same
wow that place has changed a lot since I last stayed in the mid-90s, I have plenty of fond memories from my annual visits during my childhood and it's great to see it still there and doing so well :)
I want to say it looks exactly how I remember it but also alot has changed since I last went nearly 20 years ago. I used to go every year with my mom and brothers nan grandad the whole family. This year I'm going back for the first time with my misses and our kids. Literally cannot wait. It looks amazing.
Hi Tim great vlog always enjoy a nosey around holiday parks . Thanks for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey đ Xx
Glad you enjoyed it Tracey
I was just here last weekend for Skamouth 2023. It's an amazing holiday park!
Canât like this video enough! Been going there basically all my life (30 odd years) and yes I do remember you being a blue coat đ good memories
Blimey luke, you have a good memory
This is such a nice place to stay. Everything looks so inviting. So pretty and sunny when you were there that it makes me wish I was there. Enjoyed this Tim very much. Thanks for a wonderful walk. âïž
Thanks Melissa
Thank you Tim. For the tour, we are staying there in a caravan in July. So good to see where we are staying đ
You're welcome gary
Thank you for this..I am taking my Grand Daughter and daughter there this year.. Hope they both enjoy it.
Hello Tim thanks for going to the Vauxhall Holiday Park, like you I use to go there many times when I was younger it is so great to see it again đđ
You're welcome kevin
Great video thank you for showing this beautiful park. đđ
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Tim not stayed there since about 30 years ago can't believe how much different it looks and thanks again love to watch all your videos you and Gaby do take care look forward to your next video
thanks Richard!
I love the look of Vauxhall, Tim. It looks like a mini town! Great vid! âșâș
Thanks đ
I love Vauxhall Holiday Park, me and my family went there every year during the late 70s /early 80s, it will always hold a special place in my heart, thanks again Tim for sharing another amazing vlog â€ïžđđ
You're welcome bit quick tho
Good one Tim. fully enjoyed this one. A great day out.
Thanks for watching
Its so clean! Everything looks brand new.
It does!
Been subscribed to your channel for a couple of weeks. I like your style and your content is relatable. Thought you pushing your wife out of the frame when you did your Bodmin Jail Hotel video was hilarious and it made me laugh out loud for real. Keep up the good work Tim
Thanks lol I'll do it more often ha ha
Love this video. Love the way that you have transported me to another part of the world, another side of reality. Looking forward to the next ride! : )
Lol
Wow Tim itâs been years since Iâve been there , used to pass it by two or three times a week back in the nineties
Itâs definitely changed for the better âïžâïž reminds me how much I need a holiday and miss Great Yarmouth
Thankyou Tim đđâïžâïžđđ
Lol you and me steve
My favourite out of all the park dean resorts I've been too đđœlove Great Yarmouth as well
Thank you Tim. A great and well looked after Holiday park.
Have been to Vauxhall Holiday Park quite a few times with my family and we love it. Last time we went was last year and we can't wait to go back, I'm so excited !!!
Sounds great!
Looks a nice park, never stayed there. Some nice lodges on site. Thanks for posting Tim
You're welcome jo jo
It was really nice to see what this park is like during the summer season. I've only experienced it during the winter when the metal festival I attend every year is held there and almost all of the activities are shut (the arcade is the only thing that remains open)
That's cool to hear, though. Plus, it does seem like a good venue for a long festival.
great video i stayed here many many years ago has changed so much looks a decent place to stay thanks for sharing đđ
You're welcome
Wow I went there when I was a kid before the new swimming pools. I remember swimming in the outside pool and dancing in the family entertainment venue.
I live in Norwich and passing the entrance on my day trips to Great Yarmouth I always wondered what this place was like. It looks pretty good. đ
Glad you enjoyed it!
A good thing about this place is it has a disabled access static caravan which are not easy to come by. But Iâm really hoping parks start having more of them as itâs really hard to go on caravan holidays with wheelchairs and the few that are available around the country get booked up so far in advance.
Thank you for your comment. I was thinking of suggesting this park as a holiday destination for my partner and she does need wheelchair access.
I remember going here as a kid and I can't believe how much its changed!
Hi Tim Thanks for showing us around we are booked to go to Filey next week will be filming it đ
Thanks for watching
I'm definitely consulting your channel before booking anywhere! This place looks lovely and I love those pods!
Lol
We went there it must have been 40 years ago with our first touring caravan itâs looks the exactly the same great memories thank you.
Lol thanks for watching
Hi Tim yes I remember going on a flying banana in the 80s they were smaller .we always stayed at caister holiday park .I got the bus from there into the town .I remember it used to take for ever as it went around the estates first before getting to town .
I used to go here in the 70s with my family we had a tourer and came for two weeks in June . Aunty Mary and uncle sandy were the main entertainer hosts . No indoor pool in those days . Lots of very happy memories
So many happy memories of holidays at Vauxhall as a kid with Mum Dad and brother in touring caravan. Sadly only me left now but I will cherish those times forever.
Sorry to hear that
Hi Tim. Thanks for that. I've been watching ALL of your UK videos during isolation after testing positive. They are seriously great. Enjoyed them so much. I've been inspired to sell my house buy a van conversion and go travelling for a few years visiting a lot of these places.
Clippesby Holidays, a beautiful camping and caravanning park might be worth a look. The park is owned by the Lindsay family and has won David Bellamy awards for its committment to preserving naural habitats. Clippesby Hall that it surrounds also has an interesting history. Ask for Lee at reception. It has a fun putting course too. Very nice family.
Just come back from here and it was amazing! The entertainment is fantastic!! Great yarmouth itself I cant rave about as everything was closed!
oh?
Thank you Tim for showing this Holliday park loved it
You're welcome Robert
Great video Tim brought back loads of memories Used to take my daughter there about 17 years ago used to see I think the name was Louie the lion
Yes it was
Waterside in Weymouth is also a 5 star place - been there many times love it. That said I also went to a Park resort on the Isle Of Wight on Tuesday and it was also good
I remember the stars, loved those corridors with all the different eateries. Preferred the pool when it was open air and like a bath.
Coming here on the 28th of August looks amazing great video thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
I hope you had a great time there. I haven't been to Great Yarmouth since 2011 so I might consider trying Vauxhall holiday park one day & I if I do I will be getting a train from Nottingham to Norwich & 2 buses from Norwich to Vauxhall Holiday Park & train from Nottingham to Norwich is expensive so I've got some saving up to do & I will more likely pick camping in a tent there. Keep up the good work Tim đ
Great video, Tim. I have visited both Vauxhall and Hemsby Beach holiday parks many times when I was younger. I would love to see Devon Cliffs in Exmouth, which I believe was at one time the biggest holiday park in Europe (or so I was told one time when we visited) and Devon Cliffs in Shaldon. They both hold lots of good memories for me. đ
Thanks , yes Devon cliffs is beautiful
Devon cliffs is amazing, that's another holiday park I used to go to every year with my dad and that side of my family. I went last year with my misses and kids and did not disappoint. Highly recommend it.
I have been to Vauxhall holiday camp in the late 90s I was absolutely impressed by it itâs great that parkdean has so much pride in it definitely Pontins could take a leaf out of parkdean book to see how to successfully run a camp
Another great video. Would love to see Hopton! Stayed there loads of times down the years!!
you mean this one .... czcams.com/video/F3H8SfniHJw/video.html
@@WalkWithMeTim Ahh yess! How did I miss it?! Thanks a lot!!
Anybody else remember seeing AC/DC at Vauxhall late seventies??
This is still a very well-run enterprise. Good park, clean, well maintained, solid reputation and plenty of repeat custom
Ac/dc and many other great bands and artists I had the list of all bands who played there while staying on 50th celebrations the year before selling out to Parkdean
Excellent video đđ§đ
Been there a few times mate.....quite a nice walk into the town from there..
Another great video. Really informative, thanks. I donât suppose you would be able to get to East Sussex and check out Havenâs Combe Haven? That would be interesting.
Good tip
Those wooden glamping homes are known as ^pods^..great video..just got back from a week in yarmouth..love Norfolk.
Thanks Matthew
I really enjoy these types of videos so much, please could you visit Thornwick Bay in Flamborough in the future :D
Thanks Amy, do try my other vids
Been here a few times great memories good family holidays
Great holiday park tour and video tim
Thanks kk just little extras as I know people like um
They had great service when I went as a 16 year old,we had a room near the road that was a two bedder however we was moved and given a three bed static caravan
We took the grandkids here about 3 times, the last was 2013. It was reasonable then but a little dingy, it looks slightly cleaner in this video. The Glamping things are new though. We stayed in caravans and It looks like they have been cleaned or renewed. The bus into Yarmouth was just a regular half hourly bus service and was really good, you could catch the bus to Hemsby or the other way to California beaches.
thanks for watching Graham
Hi Tim, love your Holiday Park Tours! would you be able to do a tour of another Park Dean resort - MANOR PARK holiday park Hunstanton? Would love to see that! Thanks x
Funny donât think Iâve ever been here. Well maybe I have but donât remember it very well. Cheers for the tour!
your welcome
Went here like 3 times in the last 20 years, the snooker/pool room was the best! Loved it but sadly they have a lot of caravans now, which as an adult I find very daunting lol.
Great video Tim.
Thanks jason
Hi Tim sorry I couldn't watch as I am working but will thumbs up and watch when I'm home đ
Thanks Amanda
The shellfish kiosk at 2:23 used to be manned by a little old man that, apart from fish, used to do mushy peas and mint sauce
In the past, it was not a modernish bus but an actual open top tour bus from City Sightseeing - the Banana Bus was one of three ex-London Routemasters with the other two being in Great Yarmouth Transport livery and the third in RM red and the three used to run along the sea front as far as the theme park, turn round and go to the bus station and back onto the seafront the other way up to another holiday where it terminated
We stayed at Cherry Tree Farm Holiday park many years ago when I was a young nipper. I remember the old bus which used to take us into Great Yarmouth, we didn't have a car then. Perhaps you could go and check it out some time.
defo John
Great video Tim looks like a nice place. Those round huts look like Hobbit houses, I can just imagine Frodo Baggins coming out of one of them.
Yes they do lol
Or gandolf crawling out
Really enjoyed watching - it looks like a nice place. Can you go to one at Scratby or California? Thanks for sharingđ
Next time! defo
Been going since I was like 3 years old! I love this place!
yikes
Stayed there once as a child in the 70s and remember loving the donkey derby but of course unrecognisable now. Also stayed at Elm Beach in Caister once in the nineties would be great if you could check that out along with the site next to it with a little club house, sorry can't remember the name of that one! I have now lived in Yarmouth for almost twenty years but am disabled now and can't get about very easily so love watching all your videosđ
Thanks for watching, you can see a bit of elm beach on my Caister to Great Yarmouth video
Used to come here as a teenager with my extended family... some good memories here, glad to see itâs still doing well.. will never forget King Louis... used to scare the shet out of me đ„Žđ€Ł
Stayed here 20 odd years ago xx Was great xx
I stayed there once when I was much younger can't believe how much its changed
Thanks for watching karen
Hi coming to visit soon so there is a bus right outside The camp that takes you to the beach and the shops Is it still running
I love this part of the world so many fab parks to choose from
very true!
No way I went there in about 1986 when I was about 8! The only bits I really remember from back then were a playground, having scampi and chips from the on-site chippy back then and being in the club room and the caravan!
Thanks for watching Caroline
Looks very fun.
I don't remember the flying banana jeep/buggy but I remember the small buses they had.
Thanks Sean
Looks amazing good they got a bus to go to front of great Yarmouth sea side for people that don't have a car or cant walk very long
Agree
Iâm coming here in 4 days Iâm really excited the pool will be insane
Love as you walked by splash park and saw my sister in-laws in there. Never been looks ace
how could you see the wall was in the way
@@WalkWithMeTim between to bars showing the park they was in the corner
Used to go here every year when I was a kid. Miss this place
:-)
Only just seen I almost booked this park for Feb half term I wish I did I will definitely visit in the summer
đ
We went here yesterday to visit some family, I was quite impressed with the park. Please could you do a review of the haven hopton park or maybe haven seashore in the open season? Wild duck haven is a fantastic park, it would be interesting to know your thoughts on it
Lovely!!!
Great video could you do a tour of Wightcliff bay on the Isle of Wight
Good idea
Came home from there yesterday having spent a lovely week in my caravan. đ
Thanks for watching steve
Hi do you no if the bus is still available from the main gate thanks
Love it there, been going there since 2012 every September for the Elvis Fesitval Week x
its a great park
i would like to see the walk along the path that starts at the beach huts from lowerstoft to pakefeild cliftop caravan park not been there since the since the 70s
That's a random walk
Nice Dennis Dart in the intro there ;) (sorry, Im a bus driver, I have to bus spot :p ) . And it's run by First too (my company!)
lol
What about Craigtara in Ayr Scotland. It used to be a butlins years ago but now itâs a Haven holiday park
Went there back in 1976 and had great memories there.
Thanks for watching
Iâve been coming here since I was 2!! Iâm 22 on Friday!!! Itâs changed so much!!
defo!
Iâve been going Vauxhall holiday park since 1984 every year them stars has been there for many years hen I started going there the pool was an open pool itâs a great family holiday walking to see front along the river about 20 min to the beach down shopping street
Very smart and private holiday park, I note your planing to visit the North Yorkshire coast would you be interested in visiting haven primrose valley holiday park nearby to where the former Filey Bultins site was
Good idea john
No longer private, sold to Parkdean about five years ago
Iâm going on Monday Iâm so excited!!!!!đ
have a great time
Thxx
We are at seashore just brought a caravan and here is great come and see
wow congrats
ive been going to vauxhall all my life, my family used to go from 1990s all the way up to present day, my childhood was spent here with memories from my childhood that i will always cherrish as some of my family member are no longer here, im turning 18 im november and for the past 17 years ive spent my summer here, those stars have been there since i can remember, that wall didnt used to be there and ot lead directly to the pool
Wow, looks very different from when I stayed there with my parents perhaps 35 years ago.
Wow
I used to work at vauxhall holiday park last year that is always so busy there
Agree
