On arrival were met by a very nice warden who took us round and let us choose our pitch, which was right down the end,I love the way they are not lined up in a straight row. He informed us that the toilets and showers would only be opened at the weekend, which was fine with us. We did use the showers and toilets near to the entrance, which were the best I have ever been in. Lots of room and a little seat in dressing area of showers and lots of hooks. Plenty of hot water too.
There are little play areas dotted about, which a two toddlers loved.
We did do the walk to Sandringham House, which I have to say is a little further than was explained to us as a 20 min walk. (Glad we took the buggy)
We had fish and chips from the chip van on the Friday night, it wasn't great and wouldn't use it again. However there is a really lovely resturant on the main round about as you come in. I Can't remember its name but its right next to the Beat Western Hotel.
All in all this is a lovely site and the other campers were all very friendly, everyone that drove passed stuck to the speed limit which was great with little ones. We shall be returning again! (watch the bumpy road on the way in drive nice and slow and you will be fine)

What a gorgeous site. Checked in and was asked do we want to be near loos or somewhere quiet. Opted for quiet and got a nice pitch in the trees. A bit slopey but had levellers.
Wonderfully quiet even though there was a lot of vans etc. Shop well stocked, loos clean and showers lovely and hot, also free. Hairdryer 20p.
If you go we recommend the Coach and Horses in Dersingham just a 5 minute drive away. Nice local beers and fab food served quickly. Will definitely be going back.

The site is great but the club was on an economy drive and instructed the wardens to close 2 of the 3 toilet blocks during the week and only open all at weekends.
As we were between blocks 2 and 3 and only the block by the reception was open there were cues for the showers and toilets in the mornings. We complained about this and was told to contact the club as this was their instruction.
As the site was not busy why did they site vans so far away. The van next to us had a lady whose husband had to take her in the car to go to the loo.

This was our second visit to this site, the first being Sept 2009, both visits saw the site fairly quiet and we loved it. Both times we were escorted to available pitches by a man on a bicycle, he asks you what sort of pitch you want and shows you what he has.
The site is right in the middle of the woods and really attractively set out. Never seen so many wood pigeons! We had a couple on top of the caravan one morning looking in at us through our sunroof, that was funny! So much wild life around, squirrels, rabbits, cuckoos, all sorts of birds. Last year we saw loads of geese etc flying into the area to winter.
The toilets/showers are spotless, but they do only open the one block when it is quiet, so unless you fancy a long trek you need to be pitched up that end of the site.
There is a small children's play area. Once or twice a week a fish and chip man comes round to the site. There is a lovely walk around the parimeter of the site, on the outside so you can let your dogs off the lead. There are lots of paths off into the woods in all directions. You could walk to the Sandringham visitor centre from the site. There are marked out walks over there of varying lengths and a cafe/restaurant and shop. You can go into Sandringam House from there too if it is open.
The nearest beach is maybe Snettisham, with a pay and display car park. This is a mainly pebble beach with a little sand along the shore line turning to mud past the high water line. When the tide is out you cannot see it. Dogs are allowed on the beach and in the sand dunes as long as you keep them under control.There are no facilities at this beach ie toilets or cafe.
Dersingham is the closest town at 2.5 miles, there we found the Feathers Pub, which has a lovely big garden and nice food and they allow dogs inside the bar too. There is also a Budgens and a Spar which are well stocked.

We had heard so much about this site and looked forward to going. The site is beautiful and the managers of the site were very friendly, although busy we had a choice of pitches which was great.
I found that this huge site didn't appear to be managed as well as other large sites we had visited.
Dogs were able to run loose. Children and adults played ball games (despite a small designated area near a toilet block) very near to our tent. The ball ended up being batted into our tent several times from various games of cricket by various people. I complained to a manager who happened to be emptying a bin, and they said that they were aware!
The games continued to be a played and I gave up asking politely, for people to be careful in such a built up area.
It may not be a fault of the site but showers were used and not mopped by users leaving muddy foot prints everywhere.
I feel that this site required a patrol as such just to cycle around a couple of times a day. It wasn't my job to educate people on appropriate camping behaviour.
Other than that, the local shop has excellent supplies of fresh bread and BBQ suff even at the end of the day.
Hunstanton, Castle Rising, Kings Lynn and Cromer were all a short distance from the site.

As per previous reviews, this is a lovely site, and was great for our dogs and for the children. Facilities are lovely, warm and clean.
My only complaints were:
Lack of recycling: (I've since discovered recycling bins were near reception, but only after all my rubbish went into the black bins) This was not made very clear.
Space: Despite the promise of 6 meters between units, another tent was placed 3 meters from the front of our tent, so we had a lovely view of the rear end of an Outwell!
I have made them aware of these things - and I know that sometimes things go wrong despite best efforts. In general the staff were incredibly helpful, so it wouldn't put me off visiting the site again.
