 We visited this site at October half term week (yes, the week that saw temperatures of minus 2!)
The site was very quiet considering the kids were off but this was probably a bonus really as we had our pick of the pitches.
We stayed on one of the 'pinewoods' pitches and was joined by our friend and his son.
The site itself is sectioned off into different named areas and this was probably my favourite thing about the whole place.
'The Dell' area probably has some of the best pitches on any site we've seen- almost magical! The setting was fantastic and could not be laid out any better.
The facilities were more than adequate, modern with clean toilets and showers that were lovely and warm considering the weather outside and HUGE sinks to wash-up in. My only gripe would be that the water pressure was not that great in the showers and the 'family' bathroom was a little small for the three of us.
Our stay was made even better by the welcome we got from the staff and other campers whom we met every night in the on site pub (great grub by the way)
The staff were genuinely friendly and really make you feel special ,our little-un still talks about his friend 'Lee' the barman.
All in all we would recommend this site (especially in warmer/ drier weather) to anyone, especially first-timers and would thoroughly recommend the Halloween party, the boys had a really great time. We can see why this site gets so much positive feedback.

Absolutely fabulous site - love it! love it!
This was our 2nd visit (last year I thought I'd keep it a secret). Both times we stayed in Cedar lawn with the perimeter pitching.
Site is clean & well kept, spacious and never feels full (even when it is). The perimeter pitching is great and eases the transition from coffee - frisbee - coffee - badminton etc.
During the day the site is really peaceful as many people go out to surrounding areas. 4pm is when everyone seems to return. Nice atmosphere on site with a nice family feeling. The site is surrounded by massive trees, so is nice & sheltered from the winds.
Susie's cafe is a dream, home made cakes, great coffee and breakfast baps all from local produce.
Shop is stocked with a nice selection of local produce, preserves eggs, meat etc.
Muskett arms is a must for at least one meal. A little pricey, but again local produce & excellent food & service.
The staff are fantastic and cannot do enough. I do feel sorry for them as they seem to be on the go all day & evening, always smiling and never too busy to stop & answer any questions.
Great location for local area - Gt.Yarmouh, Broads & Caister. Supermarkets within a few minutes (by car) are Budgens, Tesco & I think Spar?.
Book early! We have and we're here again next year - can't wait.

Another glowing review.
The campsite is in a great location to visit the Broads, where there is lots to do in the surrouding areas.
The campsite itself is clean and tidy everywhere, the shower block was very clean and well maintained with the usual. The staff are friendly and genuinely helpful with whatever query you have.
We stayed in The Dell, away from the kids, but still close to the showers, but more private and quiet. There was no overcrowding in our area, which is a real bonus.
The onsite pub is a great bonus to the site, good food, great atmosphere and not expensive, as previously mentioned on here. And you can walk back to your tent at the end of the night!
You can hear the cars from the main road at night, but a small price to pay for a great campsite in a beautiful part of the world.
Would recommend to anyone for a weekend.

Just returned from the Beer Festival. What a fantastic effort by all concerned - we had a marvellous weekend. Rain, cloud, more rain then more cloud and rain but the staff were a ray of sunshine and brightened up the whole site. The site is very well run, expertly laid out and the best reception we have come across in years - Well done to all at Clippesby Hall.

We visited this site for the fist time and we loved it! We've booked up again for next year! The site is just truly wonderful, everything is well maintained, the showers were spotless, the grounds were immaculate, the Muskett Arms was lovely - not really a family commercial bar, just a family pub providing good food an good drinks! The facilities inc 18 hole crazy golf, coffee shop, bar, park were well worth the 7 hour trip from Chester le Street!
We stayed in South Park, pitch 75. Perfect except for the toilet / shower / pot washing block right behind our tent, which was busy at obvious peak times, though not a problem. Although the early morning trips by kids and their parents to the loo's at 630 am with kids chatting and parents 'ssshhh!' was a daily occurence. So we have decided to move to a different pitch.
Would definitely reccomend this park - it is a glorious place to visit The Broads from and the whole place is set up for families!
Staff at Clippesby can't do enough for you.

Nicest campsite I've ever visited!
Facilities were the best that I've seen at a campsite as were cleaned regularly and modern. Stayed at cedar lawns which was very family friendly with a large green in the centre and dry as bark was placed on pitches to dry them out.
Cycle hire good for all the family at a good price. Pool was a bit on the small side but other than that a 5 star site which I would definitely reccomend!

There is nothing bad or even remotely negative about this site. Toilets and showers - brilliant and plentiful. Pitches great with staff eager to help if needed. (we had a broken pump and the owners friend turned up to repair it)!
The site office booked us a dayboat for the broads, but there is just too much here to mention. Lots to do, see and keep busy with. Would reccommend the dinausour park, good value and fun! Would I return - yes. Again and again and again.

We have just returned from clippsby, the site facilities are of a high standard and the site is a great base for touring the local area. My only criticism - our pitch was flooded in the recent wet spell! While I appreciate we cannot control the British weather it would appear this is an ongoing problem with pitches in rabbits grove.
Overall a great campsite depending on which pitch you get!

Booked here for a week and was disappointed. Our pitch was covered in dry bark which we assumed was because the grass was a bit worn. No it was because it was mud underneath and it meant we spent the whole week walking on a squashy cold quagmire under the SIG. Not fun to clean afterwards. The staff were friendly and the facilities good but the pool was small and my children were disappointed.

Spent an enjoyable weekend here. Everything said by previous reviewers is spot on - this site is hard to beat, in fact we judge all other sites by it. One of the best facilities for me is the fact that the loos (ladies anyway) each have a private basin so you can wash in private if you don't want to shower - a really good idea. The family bathrooms are great for families with babies / toddlers - mine hate showers. They are cleaned regularly too.
The site has nice forestry feel to it and the children liked exploring. We were in Pine Woods which has large pitches The staff were really helpful and the onsite pub is very convenient with decent food.
The children's play area is great and the pool is an added bonus though small. We really love the fact that you can order croissants to be delivered to your tent in the mornings!
There is a great new children's attraction 'Bewilderwood' nearby so we will definitely be back.

Yet another glowing review! Just back from this excellent campsite after 3 days in The Orchard with my 14 year old son. Have camped only 3 times previously so still regard myself as something of a novice, but this has to be the best site I've had the pleasure of staying at. Its only beaten by the view of the mountains I had from a site I stayed in at Gravellotte in the French Alps!
Lots thats really good about Clippesby. Its a great base to explore The Broads. You can rent bikes on site with all the equipment and even packed lunches to go. Toilets and showers are cleaned twice daily and it shows. There's enough to actually do on the site if you have kids or teenagers, but you also have the option of doing things like canoeing, which is fairly close by. The on-site shop and pub are excellent (although a little pricey as others have said). The woodland setting is really quite peaceful. You would never guess this was a fairly large camping park. It never felt crowded. And we've just visited in high season when families descend in droves.
Wonderful light filtering through the mature trees, well tended pitches, friendly helpful staff. (my son lightly burnt his finger on our gas lamp and the staff at the Muskett Arms fell over themselves to help with ice and ointment). Someone has put an awful lot of thought into this place and it is enjoying well deserved success.
Thoroughly recommended, although if you want a quiet secluded stay better to book into The Dell or The Heath. If like us you prefer quick access to the play area and football pitch The Orchard or South Park are perfect.

Another glowing review.
This was our first camping trip (we are in our early 50s) and can only echo what the other reviewers have said. This site is fantastic and offers something for all whether you have children or not.
The staff are friendly and very helpful and approachable.
The option to take food from the pub back to your tent was brilliant and we were even told that if our dog was well behaved (Westie) that she was welcome in the pub as well - now thats what we call 'dog friendly'!
We were pitched in the Heath (alongside the Long family . Hi folks Bob and Chris here Outwell 6).
The toilet shower and kitchen prep and washing facilities were superb and very clean (cleaned twice a day). There was no litter or rubbish to be seen on the site and in fact the sites upkeep was impeccable.
The shop and coffee shop ware great, although a little on the expensive side but good quality supplies.
There was a freezer to enable you to freeze your ice blocks, as well as a well equipped 'launderette' with everything you could need.
The surroundings shrubbery and trees were lovely and the site was a peaceful haven only broken by the noise of the peacock, peahen and pigeons which was quite amusing and didn't bother us in the least.
So all in all a superb venue for our first outing and we will certainly be returning one day.

Another glowing review!
This was our first camping trip - 4 days at Clippesby Hall and it was great.
We were in the area called Pine Woods which has loads of space between pitches.
The staff were very helpful and the onsite pub was nice.
The only downside was the peacocks calling at 4am! But frankly you don't really mind. The site was very quiet apart from that in the late evening which was perfect for us.
The shower/toilet block was well appointed and usually clean - especially appreciated the family bathroom.
We'd absolutely, definitely go back!

What can I say, we are now spoilt. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first. A well laid out site with clusters of pitches set amongst the trees. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great bike hire on site for exploring locally.
Decent shop with lovely fresh bread every morning. Pool ok seemed small but never overcrowded. We have two children and they loved every part of the site.
Two grass tennis courts which we used regularly.
Toilets and showers large enough for all and cleaned at specific times twice a day.
If visiting this part of the country there is only one place to stay. We are relatively new to camping and this site has set the benchmark high.

I can only echo what other members have already written. This is a site which is set in gorgeous woodland and is maintained to the highest standards.
The pitches are large, reasonably level and there is no feeling of being squeezed in to every square inch of the site. Being surrounded by trees certainly gives a feeling of privacy and also offers shelter from the elements when things get a little windy.
Even though we were only on site for a long weekend, we used all of the facilities. Tennis, games room, swimming, pub (Obviously), cafe, putting course, play area. Definetly a safe environment for kids to go off and play, we didn't see ours unless there was food around or it was bed time.
Barbeques are allowed, but no campfires as the park is set in woodland.
No noise policy after 11.00pm
For a medium sized site this really does have something for everyone. We even managed to book the last pitch for the August Bank holiday.
Toilets / Showers are very good. Modern and kept clean.
There is a campsite shop. My only criticism is that the prices are at the higher level of what you would expect to pay at a camp shop. Having said that, they stock local produce and good quality stuff. There's a Tesco in Caistor (15 mins) or co-op and Budgens in Acle (5 mins).
Highly recommended!
