 Very peaceful within very beautiful surroundings.
Staff are friendly and will help out wherever possible.
Toilets and showers were kept clean and tidy.
Definitely a place I would return to.

Well what a weekend, not to far a walk to Cromer if you’re a walker.
The facilities were clean and are cleaned regularly.
The shop on site is well stocked and not overly expensive as some I have been to.
The club on site was also great and had entertainment to suit all ages.
Overall a great site and will return.

Pleasant enough site, friendly staff from book in to leaving although we didn't use the club house.
Showers and all facilities clean, although second evening showers were luke warm.
It was a shame that other campers didn't follow camping etiquette, loud talking from a group until we'll after midnight.
Second night worse, ball games around us for the evening, loud group again, drunken argument going on with foul language and someone drunk trying to work out how to open our awning !
Brilliant site for young families, just not for a more mature couple.

I’ll cover the obvious point first - pitch levels. In summary there is a real mix. We stayed on a fully serviced pitch and these were level, there are a few level/level ish ones around too but with a 23’ van we wouldn’t have been happy with the pitch on some others, some even had chocks under nose wheels. I couldn’t say which are which I’m afraid, the heatwave put paid to our usual wanderings to establish detail.
We didn’t use the pool in the end as we didn’t have time but it looked clean and very tempting! The club room and bar seemed fine but not something we used other than to get some drinks for outside while our little one was on the main playpark outside. The bar was well stocked and staff helpful. The playpark was in good condition and clean.
We thought there was a cafe but when we asked about it we were met with puzzled expressions. There was a little food trailer on site a couple of days. The shop is well stocked with food, camping bits and the usual holiday gifts and toys.
The grounds are extensive with nice woodland walks and we weren’t crowded at all but that may be different in school holidays which started the day we left.
The toilet, showers and pot bash areas were clean and tidy. The showers were lovely and hot but there’s only a couple of hooks and no curtain separation, seat or shelf and the cubicles did flood up so your footwear ends up wet and stuff on side hook gets splashed. Other blocks may have been different. I failed to find a bath but I didn’t ask. It would have been really helpful with a shower hating toddler, thankfully it was so warm we were able to fill a plastic tuffbox outside (she even screams if I try this in a cubicle!)
Short drive to Cromer or Sheringham, nearby Overstrand beach is lovely and has dog friendly sections. You can walk there in about 20 minutes or drive in 5.
We had a nice relaxing holiday and would return.

This is a large well appointed site set in lovely woodland within 30 minutes walk to Cromer. Although most of the site is taken up with static vans, the open central grassed area is for tourers, motorhomes and camping, with a children's playpark in the centre.
We treated ourselves to a super serviced hard standing pitch, which out of season was a reasonable price, but beware none of these are particularly level and our ramps were not sufficient to get us anywhere near flat.
Unfortunately after a couple of hours the neighbours from hell arrived with a pack of feral kids. Once the drum and bass started with the adults all sitting round a fire and the kids running riot, it all got too much for us, so we went off to the clubhouse for a few drinks to numb the pain. The noise went on until about midnight, so the next morning I asked to move pitch. The lady at reception couldn't have been more helpful and offered a refund for a downgrade of pitch and allowed us to choose where we went.
Once the staff had spoken to the Clampetts, thing did seen to quieten down. We moved to a grass pitch away from the noise next to woodland which totally transformed our stay. We were even visited by a muntjac deer and some partridge.
The toilets and showers are good, very clean with heated floors. There is a motorhome service point, but sadly no drive over grey waste. The chemical waste is also situated at a nearby toilet block.
Despite our issues, we will probably return out of season. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the site is in such a lovely location it is hard not to like it.

Good weather forecast so we went for a 5 day October break to Cromer. Phoned & booked the day before. Access road looked narrow so I picked best route in with caravan as turn right off A140 into Station Road bear right into Park Road & then right into Northrepps Road.
Site was very quiet with probably only about 10 units on site. Showers/toilets/wash up was adequate for that amount but if site was busy then not so adequate I would imagine. Showers were good & hot though & whole block was spotless.
Location of site is good. Very quiet & rural but only a few mins drive to Cromer town centre. We parked in road & walked into town centre about 15mins rather than pay for expensive town centre parking.
There are Morrisons & Lidl supermarkets in the town as well. Cromer is a nice seaside town with plenty of cafes & pubs.
As others have mentioned the location of site in a valley means most of the pitches are on a slope. Plenty of levelling blocks required. We just got our caravan level with jockey wheel right down & blocks under rear steadies.
I think probably it is the sloping pitches that might make us not rush back. Otherwise a nice site.

Big site, brilliant for the kids and their bikes.
Showers and toilets are clean and the pub is a good size.
Only 2 issues we had 1 was the hot water wasn't hot enough for washing pots and the swimming pool was on the chilly side

Just spent six days here for the second year in a row, its a loverly site and very quiet, the pool is loverly and warm and the shop is well stocked and is about the cheapest on site shop I think I've come across.
The club house is nice and friendly and you can also take dogs in with you making it very family friendly there is also some good dog walks around the egde of the park.
If I was to find a could of faults with the place, one would be the toilet/shower blocks, this is only a tiny complaint but the blocks are way to hot with the underfloor heating, the heat from the floor burns your bare feet and makes you feel sick, but like I said that is only a small issue.
One other complaint would be about who ever issues the pitches, we arrived on Saturday and was leaving on the bank Holiday Friday as we were meeting up with friends 185 miles away for the Bank Holiday weekend, our pitch was 123 and we had hardly anyone around us, then on Thursday the day before we were leaving the park started to fill and we ended up with caravans all around us which made it very hard to leave on the Friday morning, knowing that we weren't booked in for the Weekend you would have thought we would have been put around the edge so stop us from being blocked in.
With that said this is a very nice site and well worth a stay.

Just got back after six nights here, this is one very large site and was not busy at all.
The site is very hilly so if your in a caravan make sure you have blocks for the feet (you will need them).
The toilet and shower blocks (they have a few) are some of the best I have seen very clean and lovely and warm with underfloor heating.
All the staff was very nice and nothing was to much trouble for any of them, The clubhouse even so it was small it was lovely and cosy and even so I never tried the food it did look nice as it was being brought out to people.
I can`t comment on the pool as I never used it.
Dogs are welcome everywhere even in the club, Cromer itself is very dog friendly.
This was our first time to this site and to Cromer but we will return at some point maybe next year.
My one bad point (which the camp can`t do anything about) is the country lane that you have to drive down, when the caravan is on the back you drive it with your heart in your mouth in the hope nothing comes the other way as its a single track lane.

Currently staying at the site and we're here for 7 nights. Site is large and very busy - probably too busy for us as pitches are quite close together and inconsiderate use of wind breaks makes it difficult to access parts of the site - eg laundry and play area. Pitches are all quite uneven. Close proximity does make for a lot of noise and despite the no ball games signs there were older children frequently playing football, intimidating the younger ones and using bad language.
Showers inadequate with only 3 in the block. Nowhere to put clothes and floor floods. Sink area is constantly soaking wet as taps leak out when in use.
Location is good for access to Cromer etc Bar area reasonable and they do offer kids club and the pool is small but useable. Friendly staff and well stocked shop but the negatives outweigh the plus points for us.

Stayed here for four nights at the beginning of the school summer holidays. We were two parties (with a pup tent each) pitched next to each other. We specifically asked for pitches next to each other (with ehu) when booking a few months ago. Officially you cannot arrive until 3pm but I called the day before and as our pitches were currently vacant we were able to arrive from midday which was helpful.
I found a the customer service from booking over the phone, to check in on arrival, to reporting a blocked toilet etc. To be superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The site is a little slopey but still perfectly fine for tents. We overlooked a large grassy area towards the play area which was lovely. It did rain a few times that we were there but the field drained well and it never got muddy under foot.
It it a lovely walk to Overstrand from the site and I would recommend the Cliff Top Cafe there.
The club house, play areas and pool were a hit with our children and the shop is fully stocked with all you might need.
I was impressed with the toilet/shower block which were cleaned regularly and the showers were always lovely and warm when I used them. The washing up area was clean with hot water.
As it was school holiday time the site was busy with lots of children, bikes and others like us in small parties. However, by 11pm the site was pretty much silent. There was no late night noise at all or early morning come to think of it.
This is super site, especially for families. It is in a lovely location and the staff ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible.

This was our first visit to this site and we were extremely disappointed. For us, the site does not come anywhere near the write-up it gets on their website. I'm not sure when this site was last reviewed for it's 4 star rating but in my opinion I think it would not achieve that if rated now.
Plus points:-
1. Good location on the North Norfolk coast with pleasant walks through the forest and along the coast walk to Overstrand and Cromer.
2. Nice forest views. (Could not see the sea from the site).
3. Easy to find but don't rely on sat nav as this will take you down narrow country lanes unsuitable for caravans. Go through Cromer and then out towards Overstrand.
4. 16A EHU
Minus points:-
1. Pitches are very uneven, make sure you have leveling ramps as you're going to need them! I'm not sure how anyone in a tent could get anything set up.
2. Despite the site not being very busy, we were allocated a pitch very close to other caravans and close to the entrance and site road. This resulted in being woken at 6am every morning when the deliveries arrived and then by the 'traffic' of people leaving the statics to go to work.
3. The shower block was very disappointing. There are only 3 showers for a large caravan field and large tent field, and these were never hot. Despite daily complaints to reception, nothing changed the whole week we were there. The shower was even cold at 7am the day we left site. The site was not busy but I'm sure here would be queues if it was.
4. The elsan and grey waste disposal were both located in a small room at the back of the shower block. The room was accessed by 3 quite high steps which the grey waste container had to be lifted up. Quite ridiculous in my opinion as these containers get very heavy when full. There is a drain located at ground level which could easily be adapted for this waste. The disposal facility consisted of an long, open pipe to pour the waste down which was not pleasant to use. Although taps were located in the room, there were no hoses attached to enable containers to be rinsed out.
5. The only fresh water tap we could find was located at the shower block resulting in having to pull heavy water butts up hill to the pitch.
We were not impressed with this site at all and we will not be going back.

This is our first visit to this campsite; we booked to go over a bank holiday weekend several weeks in advance along with three other families.Using a satnav we found the site without problem, check in was quick and easy with friendly staff at reception, it is at this point you collect your pass which allows you access through the electronic barrier. Pitches were clearly marked out by white lines on the grass. We requested four serviced pitches located next to each other which is what we were given, the pitches were of a very good size catering for a six man tent with canopy, car and trailer; we even pitched a gazebo across the boundary of two pitches. Prices were typical for a bank holiday weekend at £30 a night.
Pitching tents was easy although most pitches are on some degree of a slope so if you're at the bottom of a dip the ground maybe softer. Some of our friends were directly under a very large tree which meant as the evening mist came in, their tent was receiving constant drips of water during the night.
The facilities were good, not the biggest I have used but they seemed to cope and the showers were free although hot water seemed a little sporadic. Our closest shower block and toilets included drinking water stand pipes, washing up facilities and a laundry room. The shop next to reception was a hit with our kids for sweets etc although I never actually went to buy anything; reception also offers the opportunity to refreeze ice blocks at 20 pence each.
The site has a swimming pool but we didn't use it; we did however use the small club house which serves home cooked meals at average pub prices. The main bar area is for over 14's only but there is a separate family area with dance floor and children's bar next to the main bar. There is also a small amusement arcade to keep young kids happy. We didn't visit during the evening so cannot comment on the entertainment.
The closest village is Overstrand which can be accessed down a woodland path which leads onto a country lane before joining the main road into the village, a walk to the cliff top cafe took us around 25 minutes.
Overall Forest Park is a nice site but few touring pitches seemed to be level, the weather was not kind to us but when the sun did come out the park is a pleasant place to spend some time with family and friends.

We have just returned from this site, there were many positives : The toilet block near our pitch was very clean, I didn't use the showers so can't comment about those. The wash up area was spacious. The site itself was clean and attractive and the staff in reception were helpful. It was cheap for us because the season has nearly finished!
There were some negatives too : The pitches were very slopey, the pictures on the website make the site look flat and there is no warning about how slopey it is. It had obviously been wet before we arrived and the grass was extremely slippy, you basically had one chance to get on and off the pitch. The water at the wash up area was not hot enough to clean the dishes properly, not a massive problem for us as we were only staying a few nights. The pool - the water looked ok but smelt dirty and there were lots of bits floating around! There was no chloriney smell and the costumes smelt nasty when we came out which I found worrying! Also there was nowhere to get muddy shoes off as you entered the pool area and with the amount of mud on the site this led to there being mud on the pool side and in the changing rooms. We removed our wellies before entering the changing rooms but most people weren't! We had specifically booked the site because it had an indoor pool so we were quite disappointed! I did wonder if they were winding the pool down for the winter but we still had to pay the all be it small charge and for me hygiene is extremely important in pools!
The area is lovely though, we have never been to North Norfolk before and enjoyed a touring around, Cromer and Sherringham are both nice for a mooch out of season but I expect they get busy in season. We loved the beach at Overstrand too.
I don't think we would return to Forest Park to be honest but it is generally ok.

I've just 3 days camping at Forest Park. We have taken our touring caravan here several and we are never disappointed. The staff are willing to help out whenever possible and the facilities are clean and warm. There are some beautiful walks and sights within walking distance of the park. Most of the static homes are kept in a perfect manor and really inspire me to own one in the future.
Overall I would say that this is one of the nicest parks in the North Norfolk area.
