Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2026

This was a lovely site. Well maintained and everything very clean. The site was nice and quiet and plenty of footpaths for the dog to explore. Easy walk to the beach and was able to see the seals. There is also plenty of interesting places to visit near and a supermarket just a few miles away. I would not hesitate to recommend this site and if I’m visiting the area again will certainly use this site

Calm escape

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Apr 2026

Good flat small fields site with hedging perimeter for field we were in. Adequate space for van, awning and more. Well spaced from neighbouring parties. Nice planted area in centre. Well kept grounds. Clean showers are toilets and indoor washing up with super hot water and liquid. Large Freezer available to refreeze ice packs. Washing machine and tumble available for a cost. Sensibly priced showers available and notified ahead re cost and coins needed. Good well signposted walks to river one direction and sea the other. Both great and a bonus of seals on the beach.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Winter PitchesMar 2026

Won't be staying there again. Had to put a pound in for the shower which gave you 10 minutes - it takes that long to just do my 'getting the soap out'. Had lorries at 7:30 in the morning which it sounded like thunder. It was dangerous if you have young children staying there. I can't see how it's allowed to be a caravan site when those lorries go past the caravan windows.

Things to do on site and in the Norwich area

There are many local attractions for families, couples and nature lovers. The beaches of Norfolk are a stone's throw away (15 minutes), and absolutely beautiful. Most of these are dog friendly, too, so bring your pup with you.

The golden sand of Waxham Beach (15 minutes) is the closest and is never crowded. You will almost always see seals in the sea all year round, and then from late October to early February, a short walk along the beach will reward you with the spectacle of the Famous Horsey seal colony up on the beach for pupping season. During this time, please do keep your distance and keep your dogs on a lead.

The idyllic Norfolk Broads (25 minutes) are a lovely day out for those looking to take to the water, with great activities including boating, sailing, paddle boarding and canoeing all available.
