About the site


This family friendly site offers a peaceful atmosphere, divided into woody pockets and open areas. Just a 20 minute drive from the coast, the site is well placed for fun days out with Holkham Hall and Blakeney Point also within a 30 minute drive. If pitching up with a campervan, caravan or motorhome, there are eight 6m x 9m hardstanding pitches available. These allow up to six guests with a 16 amp electric hook up included! For tent campers, there are ten grass pitches available. Each measures around 5m x 4m allowing up to six guests. These are accessible by car with a gently sloping walkway so they are suitable for wheelchair users. Caravans, tents, trailer tents and motorhomes also have the option of 60 all weather pitches, with an adult only area too. Keen fisherman can enjoy a relaxed afternoon by the onsite pond, stocked with carp, bream, rudd, tench and more. The bar/take away is also the ideal place to unwind after a long day of exploring, offering burgers, loaded fries, a kid's menu, sharers, sides, a Sunday menu and a full bar selection. The site is also the proud previous winner of Best of British Parks in Norfolk and Best Campsite for the Heart of England. Caravan storage facilities are available for up to 60 caravans. Five pitches are also allocated to members of the Caravan Club. Dogs are more than welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch. In the evening, you can also cook up a delicious BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground. Open fires are prohibited.

One of the Best Campsites I’ve Stayed At

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

I absolutely loved this campsite. I can confidently say it’s one of the best I’ve ever stayed at. It’s conveniently, located just 20 minutes from Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham, making it a great base for exploring the area. The campsite itself is beautiful, very clean, well-organized, and gives off a peaceful atmosphere. The decoration is thoughtful, and there’s even a lovely pond in the middle of the different pitches. There’s also a bar where you can preorder food and sit down for a drink at the end of the day. As for the facilities, they were perfect—spotless and with great attention to detail. They even have hooks in the showers so you can hang your clothes comfortably, heating in the bathrooms, and a hairdryer. Lastly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, both at the bar and at reception. They adapted to my needs and even left a map with my name and pitch number taped to the door :) I would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

Stunning central location

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Drive On PitchesJul 2025

A really beautiful site, really lovely surroundings. The facilities were immaculate and although a bit off the beaten track, it is still pretty convenient for a lot of North Norfolk. The facilities were beautiful - and clean!

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

Lovely site clean facilities, only thing I can have a little fault with is the lane leading up to the site is single track so a little tricky with caravans. Other than that lovely site.
