Hunstanton Holiday Park Guide: Best Family Holiday Parks 2026

Welcome to Hunstanton, the seaside town that’s famous for its striped cliffs, its sunsets over The Wash and an award-winning beach that won a Blue Flag in 2023 and a Seaside Award in 2024.

Picking the right Hunstanton holiday park makes all the difference. Two big parks sit on the edge of town, with a third ten minutes away at Heacham and quieter lodge parks inland.

Known as “Sunny Hunny“, the town was built as a Victorian resort. Henry Le Strange started it in 1846, and the railway from King’s Lynn soon brought the first holidaymakers to the coast. Grab an ice cream, wander the promenade past the funfair and the green, then climb to the clifftop for views right across the bay. It’s traditional seaside fun with beautiful coastal walks on the doorstep.

A stay on a holiday park brings playgrounds, pools for grey days and, on some parks, a bubbling tub on the deck.

• SEA LIFE Hunstanton: its seal hospital has rescued more than 750 seals since 1989
• Hunstanton Lighthouse: built in 1840 on the highest point of the cliffs, now a holiday let
• Hunstanton Funfair: Rainbow Park has been on the seafront for more than 50 years

We’ve sifted reviews, ratings and facilities to find the best holiday parks in Hunstanton and nearby, all bookable with us.

Things to do from your holiday park

Most days start on the beach. Hunstanton’s sand faces west, which is rare on the east coast, so you can watch the sun go down over the sea.

Seal trips from the promenade

Hop aboard a Searles Sea Tours amphibious boat for a seal trip or a coastal tour on The Wash, from May to October.

Old Hunstanton and the striped cliffs

Stroll the clifftop past the ruins of St Edmund’s Chapel, where red carrstone and white chalk cliffs drop onto the sand. The free Heritage Gardens have crazy golf, a putting green and a bandstand with live music in summer.

Lavender, royal gardens and nature reserves

• Norfolk Lavender at Heacham: free entry, with the fields at their best in July
• Sandringham Estate: house and gardens open from spring to early October
• RSPB Snettisham: on the biggest tides, thousands of waders take off at once
• Holme Dunes: dunes and pinewoods on the Norfolk Coast Path

Beach rules if you’re bringing the dog

Dogs are not allowed on the main beach between the power boat ramp and the northern end of the promenade from 1 April to 31 October, and they need a lead on the promenade then. Old Hunstanton beach welcomes them all year. See our pet-friendly holiday parks.

Best times to visit Hunstanton for a caravan holiday

June and early September are the sweet spots, with long light evenings and fewer crowds. July and August bring the busiest beaches and the most entertainment on the parks.
