We want to go on holiday late July/early august. Does anyone know of a site that has statics as well as touring pitches. Near the sea, dogs allowed, Southwest England or Norfolk / Suffolk. Thanks

    Your best bet will probably be to check the UK Campsite website where you can check by county and by unit type. There are hundreds of sites that meet the criteria you list but the only club related site that springs to mind is Wood Farm AS at Charmouth.

    Plenty available I’m sure, but if you want a recommendation you could do worse than Heligan Camp Site. Meets your criteria - next to Lost Gardens of Heligan and walking distance via cycle track to the sea at Mevagissey or Pentewan. Nice site, new sanitary facilities this year. Plenty of nice walks in the area. Well situated to explore the Roseland Peninsula which tends to be less visited by the summer hordes.

    I can 2nd Searles in Hunstanton.

    Good facilities, sea front minutes from exits of the site.

    Touring, statics & camping + if your username is anything to go by they have a golf club house & course on site.....

    No way would I pay that for a UK site especially as I would not use most of what is on offer. Might be fine for a family holiday but as a couple, no thanks. Could be tempted to go in April for £25 per night just to check the site and area over. A static could appeal in the future in that area.

    If it is the sort of holiday you require have you thought of looking at the Haven website?

    There are lots of smaller sites with just a few statics alongside touring pitches. This is a nice one in Somerset, not far from Porlock and Minehead. We've had family holidays there using a static and a van.

    I can only assume that you after a static park as well as touring because you intend to have family or friends staying in one of the statics.

    If there is some other reason then Church Farm Holiday Park situated in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, about 100 years from the sea front has a very good touring area but the statics are not for hire.

    Can you define a year in relation to distance from the sea please? 🤔

    I'd have thought that ANYWHERE that's open would be suitable .... do we know that sites will even be open properly this summer

    Tollgate Farm, an easy stroll down to Perranporth beach  (but a lung bursting slog back up wink) has pods as well as touring pitches. Dog friendly,  pets corner for the grandchildren and almost next door to the golf club!  Haven't stayed on it ourselves but it always seems very popular. smile

    From memory there are quite a few sites around Burnham-on-Sea area that will fit your needs, including Haven.

    Best checked out on UK Campsite website.

    I guess it depends on what you consider to be 'near the sea'.  Our site of choice for Cornwall is Globe Vale, just outside Redruth.... it's about 3 miles from Porthtowan.  It has static and touring pitches, plus a small pub on site that sells food.  Close to the A30, so you can get anywhere really.  Tescos in Redruth, and Camping/ Caravanning shop at Scorrier for any equipment you need.

    I agree with the lost above that says the best beaches for dogs are on the Roseland, which is a bit of a drive... the other side of Truro.  Perranporth beach is dog friendly (although it gets really busy in high season) as are parts of Hayle beach, but not the very accessible parts.

    Globe Vale isn't the cheapest of sites.... but then neither are most of the sites in Cornwall in high season.  Should you book Globe Vale,  and if dates coincide, come and say hello.... we'll be on pitch Serviced A22....
