This is the fourth time been to Breck Farm. Had a fantastic time; even better this time as more showers and toilets - 50p for the showers but this was enough time even for me!
Farmer very friendly and helpful suggesting some walks that we could go on. Would definitely recommend this site for peace and quiet - ideal time when we went as not many people and not a lot of children!

Despite some unfortunate teething problems for the new shower block and toilets we loved this site. The camping area is huge and got totally filled on the bank holiday weekend (much to our amazement). Lots of electric hookups and all near the loos and showers.
The camping area can have camp fires and is a lot further away from the loos so a lot of people spoilt the experience by driving to the loo - some a little too fast. The owners said they plan to put up 5mph signs (I'd have given a 10 out of 10 for kids if it wasn't for this as it should have been done already) and this is really urgent as the site is perfect for kids to cycle around - the kids complained the first day that there was no play area until I pointed out the whole field, the woods, the farm and their imagination were the biggest play area ever! Our children loved the hens and the woods.
There are fresh eggs, delicious marmalade and chutney on sale. They also sell some sweets including marshmallows! You do get the smell of hens we didn't care as this added to the experience, but if the wind is right on you and you are funny about smells it is strong (the caravan club area is right next to the hen houses!
The new showers had problems during peek times and are not yet tiled but we got a refund and extra tokens when things went wrong and they were very keen to do this (they plan 2 more header tanks and tiling). During the week, doors were put of the outer of the block and this made a huge difference inside! The showers seemed expensive but I have to admit it stopped long waits so it worked! A short walk to Waybourne (Poppy line steam rail on route and well worth a visit) you have a lovely pub with real beers and great food.
A short drive and you have fantastic beaches. Sheringham has great - icecream shops with every flavour imaginable and a good beach. Cromer was fun too and we enjoyed the pier. We did a lot of crabbing and the best place for crabbing was Wells next to Sea!
Improvements - a welcome letter on arrival with site rules including a request to drive slowly and where camp fires are allowed, and a map of the farm layout and a little of the local area. Other than that great !

We went to Breck Farm (4 adults, 2 tents and 2 cars) for the bank holiday weekend (24th May). I did book but it turned out that you didn’t need to.
At £10 per night per couple we were very pleased.
Toilet and shower block consisted of male and female areas, approx 15 toilets and 5 showers in each. These were clean but did get crowded at busy times. Shower tokens were 50p each and lasted 4 minutes.
We went on the busiest weekend they had ever had apparently and a result of this was the hot water running out in the morning for a few hours.
The washing up area was great, also a freezer to put ice blocks in and information boards.
The owners were very helpful and polite. They sold eggs, wood for fires and marshmallows.
We were attracted to this site initially because you could have a camp fire. When we arrived the metal rings had all gone but we were told we could still have a fire.
This site was very relaxed and you could set up where you liked.
We found it a short drive to the beach, steam railway and seal watching!
Will definitely go back.

This is a very friendly and easy-going site that we enjoyed very much. No need to book with so much space in which to pitch and you can choose whether you want to be amongst others or a bit more secluded.
It appeared that the toilet block is being developed. Half done at the moment means that it is communal (not ideal but not the end of the world) but when the other half is completed, it will be very acceptable without being plush.
Anyone who wants to get away from it, not be bothered by anyone or have the hassle of booking should come here. North Norfolk is magnificent and you won't be disappointed by this site.

The last review sums up the site in the same words I would use. Really enjoyed the stay, great location and good facilities.
Indeed the new shower/toilet block is open and I never had to wait for the showers at all over the bank holiday and the site was really busy. Water was always hot which was an added bonus. Showers work on a token basis. 50p = 1 token = 3.5 minutes supposedly - you get longer. 2 tokens per shower is ample and I like a long shower.!
Loved the fact you could pick your pitch. We went near the woods as far away as possible. It is a trek back up to the toilet block but nice and secluded with the cows to share breakfast with just the other side of the fence!
Only negative is that because of the laid back approach, there are no policies for large groups so our nice secluded spot became invaded by a group of 20+ and another 10+ people. Made it rather noisy and loud. Having said this, I think it was unfortunate. This is the first time in our camping history that we have encountered such inconsiderate campers and I would hope that this didn't put other campers off this weekend.

We have just returned from a three night stay at Breck Farm, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Having said that, if you are looking for a ‘smart’, highly organised site, with extensive, and plush facilities, then you're in the wrong place.
However, if you are looking for a relaxed and friendly site, with loads of open space, well situated for the glorious north Norfolk coast, if you are looking for the chance to sit by your campfire, and watch the stars over a glass of wine, then you are definitely in the right place.
The new toilet block is now open, although they are still working on it. It is still no-frills, but there are more showers, and plenty of toilets. Even on a busy bank holiday there were no queues. There is also a washing up area and a small freezer for ice packs.
There are no pitches, you pick your spot, and no arrival/departure times. The owners are friendly, and helpful, but this is a working farm, so if you arrive on a quiet day, there may not be someone waiting on your arrival. Logs and kindling are available from the farm, as are eggs, potatoes and other produce.
Dogs are welcome, if under control, and they will love the extensive walks in the woodland and heathland that surround the site.

We have been to Breck Farm 4 times now having only owned a very old caravan for a couple of years. This site is big basic and how I imagined caravanning should be. Yes the toilet blocks are pretty grim and the new block has promised to be done for a while.Every time we go our two children are in their element. They always make loads of friends get really muddy and have loads of fun.
Our last trip we went with friends and their 3 children and took my pal and her 2.In total we had 7 children ranging from 5 - 13.They were all very well behaved and had a great time on their bikes in the woods.Bearing in mind we went in August (our wettest for years) yes there was loads of children.

We stayed here in august 2008, our set up was two adults two children (ages 11/14) plus extras etc.
On arrival we were met with a very friendly welcome and told we could pitch where we wanted to, but also found out that if you wanted ehu you couldn't have open fire so we opted for the open fire. The field where you are allowed to pitch and have open fires has old fire marks dotted around, which didn't bother us but thought they could have arranged them a bit better then just leave it up to everyone to have a fire where they liked. But that is just a observation, not a moan. We had friends with us who opted to stay on the field with ehu. Which was also busier then where we were, they were also met with a nice welcome and as they arrived very late.
The site is very spacious, quite and friendly you can buy logs eggs from the farmer as already mentioned in other reviews. We had expected to see the new shower block up, but all there was, was a steel frame but didn't let this bother us. The showers were ok and clean. The ladies I'm told were also ok and clean. The mens I can say were fly ridden and unclean and also right by the washing up area. The only let down of the site but I'm sure when the new shower block is up and running it will be a perfect site.
We loved the site, the woods were great for adults and kids alike. Just down the road is sheringham which is a lovely sea side resort. There is lots to see and do locally we spent most of our time onsite playng games as plenty of space but when we did go out there was always something to see or do our friends who came with us loved the site also but were a little let down by the toilets also.
Don't let this put you off, its a basic site but has so much to offer we have booked again for this year and are more prepared ie porta loo.
The prices are very reasonable
The site is very flat
Good location, shops close by walking distance or short trip in car
If you want a basic site which at the end of the day you can unwind with a nice drink round a camp fire with family and friends then this is the place .

I loved this site, the owners are very welcoming and helpful, it's very good value for money (I loved the fact that money from ice block freezing when to charity). I thought the showers and toilets were fine, even over the busy last weekend of the school hols, queueing was minimal, and clean too. I hope the new facilities don't drive the prices up too much and make the site too commercial, because I love it as it is!

This site left us divided. My husband says he would visit again, while I couldn't wait to get away. (We moved on after one night). It is relaxed, the owners are friendly, it is very cheap and there is a lot of space. It is lovely that they allow campfires - and infact with the sale of wood and marshmallows you could say they are positively encouraged. During our stay it was very quiet and peaceful in the evening, and with no light-pollution the night sky was beautiful. By day, there is plenty of space for riding bikes, ball games etc, and woods for further play or recreation.
Camping is in a very large rough-grassed field with tree borders to two sides. There are no allocated pitches and at our visit most campers chose the more sheltered edges. There appears to be no restrictions on where fires can be placed resulting in many discarded firesites polka-dotting the field. Our children delighted in digging in these sandpit style. (Very messy!)
The toilet facilities are in the main farm courtyard and therefore subject to straying chickens and farmyard smells. For women there are two toilet cubicles with hand basins. These are not too old and were reasonably clean. However, for a site of this size I thought them inadequate. They opened directly off the farm courtyard, so all dirt, drafts, insects and stray animals come straight in. While they have a small handbasin, it is right next the toilet bowl and not somewhere I would want to hang around long enough to wash or brush teeth. Next-door are two coin operated unisex shower cubicles - they did not look inviting. The Gents loos looked like those dilapidated facilities you find in old pubs. I didn't go in, you can see as you walk past. The promised new toilet, washing-up and laundry block currently consists of a roof but no walls. Their website now says due for completion this autumn. I would certainly phone to check if this is important to you. I had expected it to be completed by late summer and wished I had asked!
