We camped for 3 nights over Aug Bank Holiday and the site itself was lovely and in such a great location.
The biggest nuisance we had whilst there were the Wasps - literally everywhere. I was stung within 30mins of arriving and was constantly worried about my 3yr old son and dog who kept snapping at them - that said, I don't know what site management were doing to address the issue, they may have been working hard at it behind the scenes - but we saw no signs of pest control.
We didn't realise until we arrived that the onsite shop was permanently closed ( due to Covid ) - had we known we would've stopped at a supermarket on the way in. There was a small kiosk open but the supplies were very limited - as were the opening times, opening at 9am on a camp site seems late to me with most campers being early risers. (?)
I had read reviews of the ground being tough for camping and indeed we also found this to be the case. The ground wasn't too hard as such, but very rocky. We bent half a dozen pegs trying to get the tent up and really struggled to find ground we could penetrate. So good quality, hard wearing pegs are a must.
That said, the pitch was very generous in size - we had a good sized 2 roomed tent, a gazebo and the car, comfortably. The electric hook up was ideal ( although the designated plugs seem to be on the wrong side of the pitch, farthest away from the tent ). The childrens play area was great, the swimming pool was lovely and managed Covid very well. The toilets, showers and washing and laundry facilities were top notch and the Waveney Inn was exactly as you would expect from a gastro pub - although prior to our visit I had tried for 4 days to ring the pub to book a table for the night we arrived. There was never an answer and the mailbox was full, so unable to leave a message. I emailed via the contact us form on the website and still have not had any reply. Luckily, I walked to the pub as soon as we arrived and was able to book in.
Views were great from all around the site.
We hired a boat for a day which was great fun despite the awful weather...
Overall, we would return to WRC without much hesitation, but with better tent pegs and armed for wasps.
