About Gatton Waters Caravan Park

Peaceful lakeside touring set over 24 acres, this adult only site has an onsite coarse fishing lake and is great for escaping to the countryside whilst still being just 20 minutes from the beach. There are 78 spacious grass pitches, each measuring 10m x 10m and allowing a maximum of four people each in a caravan, campervan or motorhome. There is optional 16 amp electric hook up which is metered and charged at cost on usage plus applicable VAT, and settled at the end of the stay. There's plenty to do nearby from beaches, National Trust sites and trails, the Royal Sandringham Estate is also just five minutes away and is a popular spot amongst guests. A maximum of two dogs are allowed per pitch just please keep them under control, and no swimming in the lake. Campfires are not allowed, but you can have a BBQ as long as it's raised off the grass.

A note from the site themselves...

Gatton Waters was started from scratch by our parents James ("Bub") and Carolyn Donaldson in 1988 and grew to be a much-loved site, appreciated for the warm welcome extended to all of our guests, its beautiful location and the calm and tranquil environment.

Unfortunately, due to our Dad's poor health, things had to be scaled back but after a very successful relaunch in 2023, we are continuing to work hard to revitalise the site and bring it back to its former glory. We will continue the tradition of an adult only site, committed to a peaceful escape from the outside world and look forward to doing justice to the great site our parents built.

VW-Type Campervan - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

From arriving, being met by Mark and being taken to our pitch, the stunning view of the lake, the cleanliness of the site's facilities and the peaceful and relaxing location made the whole experience perfect. No hesitation in giving 5 stars. We loved it so much we stayed an additional night. Without a doubt we will go here again. Extremely recommended.

Single Axle Caravan - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Cannot rate this highly enough. A very friendly and family run site. A beautiful location, with a gorgeous view of the sunset on "sunset ridge". It was lovely and quiet, with very clean toilets/ showers, they were inspected and maintained 3 or 4 times a day. We had a really lovely stay and will definitely be returning.
