Can anyone please recommend a caravan in Norfolk area for the summer holidays in August, not to commercial but with a shop or a pub etc. We have two children 10 & 8 looking to see Norfolk Broads and Yarmouth etc.
THanks

Try Clippesby hall, fantastic site, has shop which does freshly baked bread in mornings, small cafe and pub which does excellent food, also has an outside pool play area for kids and tennis courts but manages to remain non commercial. Toilet blocks and showers were very good, they even have a family bathroom room.
We love this site, the owners are very helpfull, its a family run affair.
It is quite close to Yarmouth and the broads, an excellent base for touring the area.
You will find reviews under the camp site search. I cannot reccomend it enough
If you Join the caravan club they have a good site on the racecourse in Yarmouth with a pub just outside the gates, also another good site at cromer with a bar and shop and outdoor s/pool.
Drewery Caravan Park at California, just north of Yarmouth. It's not a very big site, and isn't commercial, it's on a clifftop with direct access to a nice beach and with open fields and heathland to the side, ideal for dog walking. Just by the entrance is a shop, a pub which does nice meals, a takeaway and amusements. We've been going there for years and we love it.
It's also not far from the broads, and a couple of miles walk along the beach takes you to Hemsby, a little place with shops, cafes and amusements, and a good market on Mondays. Hope this helps -

does anyone have a link to the above site looked on the campsite search but couldn't find it
This sounds like the type of site in that area that I am looking for to take the children and the dog. Tigermouse can you give us any idea what the toilet/shower facilities are like and what they charge per night?
Hi cj camper and miclou - I don't think anyone will have a link cos probably no-ones's been there! It's a hidden gem, and unless you've been told about it or found it by accident you don't know it's there. It's behind a small static site and you can't see it from the road or the beach. As far as I know, they don't have a website, but give me a little while and I'll find the phone number for you.

Hi You must go to http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1601 in Weyborne,holt it is without a doubt the best site in norfolk, with Clippesby coming a close second,if you like one you will like the other. Kelling has every thing you need without being "all singing&dancing" sort of place, When we go ,which is many weekends we never even leave the site, the shop is brillant, has every thing you need,lots of choice in everything. Has a really nice restaurant and a pizza place which you can also takeaway,things for the kids to do and aventure playground for younger children and a bigger one for the older kids which ours love,you can also hire bikes.In the wailks right beside kelling a old steam train comes through,which everyone waves at,silly but nice,if you want to catch it,the station is there. The toliet blocks etc are very good,everywhere is clean, The website is good but believe me the photos dont do it justice!! you wont be dissapointed,i promise
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
