Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Pitches (Sandy Acres)Apr 2025
Great campsite with a super bike ride through the woods to Sandringham. And another bike ride (all off road) to the RSPB reserve and Snettisham beach. Campsite is clean and our pitch (on grass) was a good size. There is a bar onsite and food can be ordered (though we did not make use of it this time). Individual showers and toilets. Cubicles are spacious and warm, as is the water, (though like most campsites the button only lasts 10 secs before you have to press it again). There is a short wait at times, which is not so good if you just need the loo, so some extra toilets without showers in them would be good. The pub and restaurant (The coach & horses) in Dersingham serves great food with a welcome atmosphere and super staff.
Overall a great site and we would return.

Thank you for your great review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us.
We have some laminated sheets for walking/cycling in the office, which are proving to be very popular.
We do have a second set of shower/toilet facilities to the side of the reception.
The bar has just celebrated its first birthday, and has proved to be very popular since we built it during the winter on2023/24.
We have two pubs in town, The Feather and the Coach and Horses, both do very nice food.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Thanks
