Wow, fantastic! We have had a really wonderful holiday at the Overstrand campsite. We Loved the family friendly atmosphere and the well run warm and welcoming team! We also liked the traditional values that are up held by the campsite and the fact that it was no trouble for the staff to help us with our enquiries about the local area. Although it is a small site with basic facilities it is set in an ideal location with most of the family pitches a good distance away from the cliff edge. There is a lovely children's park and the campsite is a stones throw from the beach, Excellent! We also liked the on site cafe as it serves food throughout the day with a warm and friendly smile and there are games available for everybody to use, which we though was a realy nice touch. Thank you for a holiday that was excellent value for money and we will see you again next year X

Superb location with breathtaking views over the cliff tops. The down side is that the campsite is very exposed and susceptible to high winds which means that we were unable to erect our Event Shelter. Following one particularly gusty night the ban on gazebos became very self evident. The site is well managed with very helpful and cheerful staff. The cafe was very reasonably priced and they catered well for children with a games room, pool table and nearby playground. There's lovely cliff top walk to Cromer (though the town itself is fairly rundown and not particularly inviting) and you can walk back along the beach. The campsite itself is not particularly large and can feel cramped when full. Overall we enjoyed our time at Overstrand, despite experiencing the full gamut of a British summer and fully recommend it to anyone.

This site is in a beautiful location, within easy walking distance of beach, play area, pubs and village shop, Conservative Club made us welcome also. The site is small and staff couldn't be more helpful. Toilets and showers were clean as was the kitchen area, the games room for the children was a hit and we ate an evening meal once which was really good value for money. Would definitely visit again, the only complaint is that it is only open for July & August

Four of us went to Overstrand as part of a golf holiday, playing at nearby courses. Campsite was perfect for what we were after, which was cheap and close to Cromer and Sheringham. Great views, and enough space for a large 4 man tent and 2 cars. The campsite has a small cafe which served very cheap bacon and egg rolls early in the morning as well! The showers/toilets were basic, but fine for what we needed. It is after all a campsite. We were four guys and can deal with some basic showers. Great stay, and would certainly go back again.

I booked a pitch for the weekend based upon the description on this site and the site owner's own site, which described the site as having a beautiful cliff-top location and basic, but clean facilities. I could not fault the location, as it was indeed beautiful, perched upon the top of the norfolk cliffs offering fantastic views of the sea. The beach, which is a short scramble down the cliffs, or a more gentle stroll down a man-made route, was a lovely sandy beach with plenty of space, which was not busy and can be described as idyllic. The site at night was quiet, and you could hear the sea from the tent during the night which was very atmospheric. In terms of the general location, I can only say that Cromer was a bit of a let-down, in that it was a bit dated. Not dated in terms of it being quaint, but dated in that it was a bit tired as a tourist destination. It's saving grace was an excellent Italian restaurant called the Bella Vista. The biggest let-down of the weekend however, was the sites facilities, and specifically the cleanliness of the shower/toilet block, or rather the lack of cleanliness! The showers can only be described as 'skanky'. The shower/toilet block seems to be a major hotbed of arachnid and lepidoptera (spiders and moths) collections, as they were everywhere, lights, walls, ceilings, showers; with plenty of them swimming in the overflowing floods of water on the floor due to very poor drainage, with the shower trays doubling as baths. The drainage was so bad, that even though the showers had a ten-second button delay-on facility, your feet were submerged in drainage water within half a minute. Oh, and not forgetting that the shower was only luke-warm at best. The only other thing to note is that the toilets share the same room as the shower/wash facilities. And therefore, you probably don't need me to describe things further! Would I return? Not unless the shower/toilet block issue was dealt with.

Lovely great views, beach minutes away, friendly family run cafe. We stayed in a pre-pitched Euro Tent, which was clean and spacious. It was my daughters first time camping and they loved it. The only gripe as others have mentioned is the toilet / shower facilities. Only 2 toilets and showers for either sex - didn;t seem to be a problem for the males, but definitely need twice this number for females!
