We have stayed here three times so far this year and plan to visit again soon! I would recommend this site to everyone. The facilities are not only spotless but there are plenty of showers and loos for everyone plus a family shower room. The water was nice and hot even when the site was busy (and shower still clean and tidy then too).
Beautiful setting with views of the sea and rolling hills, within walking distance of two very good supermarkets and also the beach.
Some lovely walks for the dogs. Plenty of space for games, and wonderful play area for children!
We may only be an hour from Manor Farm and stayed one night each time we visited but each and every time we felt we have had a wonderful restful break.

Just back from the B/H weekend. What a lovely campsite! Clean and tidy around the site; toilet block on Molls Meadow always clean and as I rise early I had pipping hot water and the place to myself at 0630hrs, my daughter had to queue at 0800hrs and the water was not so warm - but it was the B/H weekend. The kids loved the play park and the ice-cream van too!
If you take the road in the opposite direct to reception you can walk to Morrisons, Co-op or Argos Extra (if you have forgotten something) in 10 mins. This is much easier than trying to park the car in Cromer.

We have just returned from a week at this campsite and were left very impressed. We had ditched the kids for a week and decided to walk the Norfolk Coastal Path with the dog. As luck would have it the NCP runs along the track leading from reception up to the camping fields. There is no site shop probably due to reception being further from the fields than the local Rainbow supermarket, though gas is available from reception apparently.
We stayed in the dog friendly site where we found a more secluded spot. We had no contact with the site owners after booking in, but didn't need it either. The size of the site means that the personal touch is not an option compared with other more intimate sites.
The concept of dog friendly field initially appealed, but having now been, it seemed to be an excuse for the less responsible dog owners to behave quite badly. I witnessed dogs being allowed to wee nearer to the drinking water taps than I would have liked and my partner witnessed dogs in the toilet/shower block a couple of times. This is not necessarily a criticism of the site more of the people that were there when we were. That said dog foul seemed to be confined to the farm track not the fields, though still not really acceptable.
For you camping needs there is a camping shop in East Runton or an argos next to the coop in cromer. The Coasthopper bus service runs from cromer to hunstanton if you want a change in pace.
Try Blakeney for crabbing (park in the town hall for free parking), and Wells for Chips at French's. Apparently the first bomb dropped during WW1 on British soil was at Sheringham, there was a plaque on the wall.

Excellent Site!
We camped on the Dog friendly site and accidentally found the best pitch on the site, I'm not sure I should give it away but to give you a clue it's nearly 180 degrees of sea view and up a bit higher than the rest of the site.
The facilities are excellent. There were two large freezers for ice blocks. No q's for showers at any times, there are loads of them so not really surprising.
The site went quite at 11pm. There were some groups but all well behaved.
Cromer full of amenities inc a Morrisons. But bear in mind that if your used to the delights/horrors of 24h shopping then you'll need to remember that all but Budgens close's after 8pm. And Sundays are apparently still sunday in north norfolk. (Supermarkets closed by 4pm)
The Beaches are clean albeit a bit flat. Not many that are Dog friendly.
If you want to eat out then Cromer offers many good family eateries, more fish and chip shops then you can throw a stick at.
Holt though for us offered the best food options. The Kings Head and it's Sister Pub somewhere across the road were both excellent and reasonable. A meal at the friendly Kings head Drinks and Wine came for 4 adults came at approx 20 pounds per person. Kids inc our friends 2 year old were made to feel very welcome.
Overall one of the best sites we been to. What makes it even better is being members of the CCC this was our backup site, but after being greeted on the phone by a very rude lady at the CCC Cromer, we ditched that site and came here. Even the CCC's own magazine recommends it. We'll be back
Drive from reception to sites, interesting to say the least if you have a wide car or meet anything coming the other way.
If there was one criticism it would be the water heating systems. Couldn't cope with the demand at peaks times. Not cold though, just not as hot as at other times.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the beginning of the month.
Good points:
It was only an easy, flat, fifteen minute walk to Cromer, where there are plenty of things to do and see
There was a nice view of the sea
The site was quiet and in a nice location
The shower and toilet facilities were clean and free!
The site had a play area
Bad points:
There was no one around when we arrived, so after waiting for twenty minutes, we drove over to the field and pitched with no direction and paid (but hadn't thought to leave a sign).
The site only had two sinks for washing up, so long queues next to the bins, which were overflowing and surrounded by wasps
The freezers for the ice packs didn't seem to freeze them-ours were in there for two nights and still only partially frozen
There were no recycling facilities
Overall, we had a pleasant stay

We have just returned from Manor Farm. We did not want to leave as it was so nice! The gallery pictures do not do the site justice. We had a lovely view of the sea from our tent and as it was carnival week watched the Red Arrows and the firework display from there. The warden and cleaner worked hard, even late at night, to keep the shower and toilet blocks clean and were very friendly. The site is close to Cromer town and the beach. We were on Molls Meadow where the toilet facilities were new this year and very good. The free use of freezers for ice blocks was a really nice touch. (Other camps seem to 'hire' blocks out for a charge)Because the site is on a hill it can be windy, but there are plenty of pitches in sheltered spots and view makes the wind well worth it.

We stayed here for a 2 week visit in 2009 for what would be our first camping holiday. We arrived to a very welcoming reception. The gentleman there was very helpful. We stayed in Molls Meadow where we had amazing views from our pitch. We always had hot water for showering and no problems with queues for the washing up sinks. (all in the timing). It was nice and quiet and we are looking to go back again this year. The facilities were clean and tidy and the staff on site were extremely friendly.

Spent a weekend at Manor Farm, and can only find good things to say about it. It was a hot summer weekend so the site was busy, but there was still plenty of room. The site is spread over two or three fields for tents and one for caravans. Most of the pitches have sea views.
Shower blocks were clean - on this busy weekend there was a bit of queuing for showers and washing-up sinks, but I shouldn't think that would be a problem at less busy times. Lots of families camping there, and it's a good place for kids, with a nice playground and lots of space to run around.
The campsite overlooks the sea and it's a 20-minute walk into the seaside town of Cromer or the smaller village of East Runton, both of which have nice beaches. Cromer has plenty of shops (and great fish & chips!).

We've visited this campsite several times over the last five years and will be going again over the bank holiday.We can't wait!
Our two teenagers frequently ask when we're going back to Manor Farm and always talk about the fun they've had. There's a playground and plenty of grassy areas for them to play on, not to mention the wooded area by the unserviced pitches in the main field where camp building is a must! This is a family friendly site where children will make new friends instantly.
The toilets are clean and fresh and have plug sockets for the essential hair straightners! In our experience they've always had hot water too, even in peak times. Also plenty of sinks for washing up. Town is a 20 minute walk away down the main road where you can find a great beach for crabbing and relaxing. There is a Co-op a ten minute walk away or a 2 minute drive for all the essentials.
In all honesty we've never really sampled the restaurants in Cromer except the fish and chips as we normally cook back at the tent but we've been into Sheringham for a bite to eat several times and The Lobster is a must!
The campsite is quiet, sheltered in many spots and a gem! A few areas are sloped but this just adds to the true camping feel. In August two years ago, there was a field of sunflowers nearby which added a spot of colour to what was a wet week. We moved after that first week to an 'upmarket' campsite and regretted it the moment we arrived, it didn't have the relaxed feel or the spacious feel of Manor Farm. It's been hard to beat!

We stayed in Gurneys Plantation. The pitch was nice with sea views, the pitches were well spaced out. We did walk through the camping field and thought it looked really crowded and everyone squeezed in. The toilets were a little old fashioned but clean, the showers were always hot and free.
There is a footpath to Cromer which has the usually seaside tat shops supermarkets and fish and chip shops and the traffic durring the day is unbelievably bad. The town is dead at night with very little in the way of pubs and food, although I can recommend the Dayla Spice curry house. Another footpath leads from the site to Runton with lovely wide beach and 2 pubs and local shops.
We caught the train from Cromer to Norwich which I wouild recommended and the train is good value at £6.30 off peak return for an adult.
We had lots of lovely bike rides in the surround countryside, but found that this area of Norfolk is not as flat as people say! There are plenty of quiet lanes and villages to explore.
Overall, the camp-site was fine but I felt not as good as people have said on this forum and Cromer is a real let down. Would I go back, to the campsite probably yes, but not a whole week here.
