Reviewer: Deersgladeobsession 1 review from this member

 We spent 6 days and 5 nights at this camp and caravan site and I have to say it has been AMAZING!

The toilets were clean,

The showers were very refreshing after a day of activities,

The lake had plenty of fishies from different species.

We caught carp, roach and tench.

The pond was beautifully aranged of different ranges of ducks and birds.

The playground was very fun, and was always busy, although it could be bigger a play area with things such as swings and things for older kids.

Night time is lovely, just to sit under the stars is wonderful.

One night we went for a meal at Alby Horse Shoe Inn and the food and service was great.

The first day we rode to comer on our bikes, it was tiring but very fun for a nice family day out. And it was helpful that they hired baby seats and tandems for our younger kids.

And if your an adventure family, we suggest hilltops for archery, mountain biking, zip lines etc. It was fun and kept the kids quiet.

The staff at deers glade were kind and cheerfull and worked very hard.

The kids were upset to leave and so were we!

We advise this place for anyone,

Very quiet at night and eco friendly :)

 We have just returned from our 2nd stay at Deers Glade. We went there last year for our first ever family camping trip and thought it was so lovely we would go back there again this summer.

Although it is a nice rural site this year we saw the negatives more than the positives:

The positives:

-Friendly staff /owner

-On site shop - basic items

-Clean toilet/shower blocks

-There are large tents pitches available

-Easy to get to off A140

-Rural setting

-Only 5 miles to drive to beach

The negatives:

-Dim lighting in shower block - makes shaving difficult

-Often had to queue for the shower and when I was in the shower felt had to be really quick as knew others were waiting as so few showers and site was full!

-Poor drainage under water tap

-Very noisy - mainly due to children playing on park till late but also another party allowed to pitch a gazebo right near our tent and stay chatting/drinking till midnight!

-Although large tent pitch not much distance across to other tents compared to another site we have stayed at

-Rubbish bins always seemed to be overflowing

-Washing up - I never had to queue but on 3 occasions saw people getting annoyed at having to wait

I would say this site is ideal if you have slightly older children that you wish to go over to the park without you and make friends and you are not bothered to settling down to a relaxing evening. I found myself getting worked up by the amount of noise. There are apparently live on site wardens but if so, surprised they do not make a point of saying no noise at the park after a certain time.

Would consider in years to come the Muntjac Meadow which looked much more tranquil and spacious and is located across the road.

 Deer Glade is definitely the nicest site we have stayed on. Facilities excellent and always emaculately clean. Owners Heather and David always on the go and very friendly, as with all staff. Pitches were superb, huge space. Also very reasonable prices.

Site surrounded by woods and very quiet.

Beautiful walks around area, in woods.

Small fishing pond on site (didn't use it, but others did).

Will definitely be back next year.

 Have returned home after a 4 night stay. We had a relaxing stay and found the site staff helpful and friendly, shower/toilet blocks always well stocked with toilet rolls. The washing up area was clean and under cover. The site was always clean and spotless. Children enjoyed the freedom and the play park. We tried to stay an extra night but our pitch was booked up. Definitely will be returning next year.

Reviewer: Liseylo1972 1 review from this member

 We had 2 nights at this campsite and agree totally with all the lovely comments about it - its the biggest site we've stayed on and our kids (2, 7, 8) were safe and amused with the play area. The toilet blocks are extremely clean with handwash - there is even a hairdryer for all to use. We were no electric hook up and didn't want to be near the lake so had a nice pitch tucked far enough away for us to let the little one roam a bit without worrying - it is very friendly - they had a hog roast on the saturday night for everyone. A lovely part of the country to visit and we'd recommend it!

 Just visited Muntjac Meadow, field provided by Deers Glade for month of August only. Had wonderful 7 days on site. Campers left to own devices and can pitch wherever you please. Shower blocks small however modern and kept clean all through the day.

Plenty of room for children to play. Short walk through woods to Deer Glade site. Hog roast a must on the Saturday night.

Camfire on Muntjac Meadow every night was a lovely experience. Marshmallows a must with mug of hot chocolate. My only concern we had was other families allowing their children to play around the fire unsupervised.

A fabulous site a shame only available in august. Will be booking for next year.

Reviewer: Surfspud 14 reviews from this member

 A nice site with good facilities as has been mentioned by most reviewers. My only complaint though would be the noise at night. The 11pm minimum noise rule is not enforced at all.

Every night we were kept awake till 2am by people in a large green tent sitting round a firepit. (I strongly suspect we were pitched near to the previous reviewer). We then got woken at 6am by the early risers heading to the showers.

I don't think it helps when the camp fire goes on till 12.30pm as this means those returning are then in and out the toilets and washing up area.

This unfortunately has really put us off a second visit, even though we had no complaints with the rest of the site.

Reviewer: Ollypops 2 reviews from this member

 Shhhh, don't tell anyone about this place! We have just returned from a wonderful six days and are already looking forward to returning. Our six year old wanted to stay after having a fantastic 'freedom' holiday. Great facilities, staff are brilliant, wildlife abundant (goodness knows how many froglets, water voles, early morning herons, butterflies etc we encountered!) We were next to the lake which allowed us a large pitch. We were very spoilt with space and were almost disgruntled when someone pitched up near us! Our children didn't want to leave the site and were happy playing for hours. We also visited the Muntjac Meadow for the evening fire which was an experience for the children. Toasting marshmallows made the week complete! If I had one small complaint it would be nothing to do with the site, staff or facilities but with other people not being considerate with their noise. Yes people in the big green tent, camping is fab, but sitting around a firepit until two in the morning with your kids running around is not!

Reviewer: Dot and Tony 3 reviews from this member

 Wow. Excellent site. The toilet and showers are the best we have had in 10 yrs of caravanning. No wonder there is a sign requesting that customers do not take too long in the showers - they are great !

Friendly staff, all of them. Great little shop that stocks most things - with fresh bread every day.

Good dog walks,boarding kennels on the site, so handy if you want a day ( or night) out.

Well laid out, with fruit bushes, shrubs etc dividing lots of the pitches.

Would definitely return.

Reviewer: Hbullen 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed for 2 night on this site.

We arrived very early but as a pitch was empty we was allowed to pitch our tent.

We were on pitch number 2 which was ideal for us as it was near to toilet block and play area, which our children (8 and 5) loved as they could go on there own.

The toilet and shower blocked were always clean as was the washing up area.

The staff were helpful and very friendly.

This site had a lovely feel about and we will definitely be going back.

Reviewer: Angiecbeavis 2 reviews from this member

 We had one night at this site in July 2009, with 2 children aged 2 and 4 and a dog. We were novices to camping and glad we picked such a brilliant park for our first trip. The pitch (with electric hook up) was huge - about 13 metres squared - so we had plenty of room to pitch the tent as well as sit outside and let the children run around.

The toilet and shower block (there are 2 on site) was very impressive, equipped with 2 showers, 2 cubicles with sinks and about 5 toilets. They were immaculately clean and well stocked the whole time we were there. There was also a hairdryer. The washing up facilities were very good, with lovely clean sinks and draining boards. There was a laundry, which we didn't use, but looked good. The play park was quite small, but adequate for our children to play in. The fishing lake provided a nice walk for us and the dog, but there were also lots of other walks from the site to go on.

The shop only stocked the bare essentials, but we went to a Tesco in Aylesham which was only about 5/10 min drive from the site for our bottle of wine!

The camp was quiet and relaxing and I heard no noise from about 10.30pm onwards - even from dogs barking and there were many people with dogs there!

We would definitely go back again and again!

 Just returned from a two night stay at Deers Glade, introducing our neighbours and their 2 1/2 year old son to the fabulous life of camping. We have visited Deers Glade before and felt this to be the perfect site for their first experience. They enjoyed it so much they are now planning on buying a tent for themselves.

Although we had a few torrential downpours this did not stop our enjoyment. The Hog Roast on Saturday evening was lovely but I would recommend you queue early as it soon runs out.

Shower block - have to say cleanest, warmest I have ever come across. My friend couldn't get over the under floor heating.

Love this site and will definitely return again and again. I find no negatives to this site.

 Just returned from a very enjoyable weekend camping at Deers Glade.

Although the site was almost full we were allocated a large pitch, made better by the fact that we have only a small tent ! We were shown alternative pitches by the very helpful and friendly staff and picked our spot a short walk from the shower block.

Having read the reviews of this great site I doubt I can add much that hasn't already been said, however I would like to endorse the following points:-

Showers / Toilets:- spotlessly clean and modern. Never had to queue even though the site was almost full. Yes, the lighting is dim but I wasn't planning on reading war and peace in there anyway !

Staff:- Couldn't do enough to help and were always available during the stated hours. I asked about a good pub to eat and was recommended 'The Banningham Crown' which was excellent, and so I'd like to pass on that recommendation here.

Location:- Beautifully kept and well laid out. Noise was kept to a minimum during our stay and was very relaxing. Enjoyed the walks through the woods and even spotted a small dear peeking at us through the undergrowth.

All in all a lovely site that we will be looking to return to very soon !

 Coming towards the entrance you are greeted by a tunnel of trees. On arriving at reception we were greeted and shown to our pitch. The first thing that springs to mind is there are a lot of caravans on site. The pitch is large and there There is no bar on site, the reception does various items like papers, milk, eggs etc.

The toilet blocks are clean and never appear busy. There is 2 showers per block there are 2 shower/toilet blocks on the site but I never had to wait. Hubby said similar to his block.

All the normal facilities like waste water, chemical waste etc are in good working order.

The site itself has a lake that holds fish. There is a charge for fishing but lake always looked busy with fishermen/women. In the centre of the site is a large area that children play or adults try to play various games. They cater for dogs here. Various walks available to wear out the most energetic dog.If you are a walker or cyclist then this is the place for you. The nearest pub is the Alby on the A140. The Crown at Banningham is far better. You will have to drive or catch a taxi.

The site is very quiet. There are no buses to my knowledge. If you want a very peaceful relaxing couple of days then this is the place to come. There is wi-fi access at a small charge. The gates are locked at 11pm and reopened at 7am.

 Fantastic campsite, (once we had negotiated all the roundabouts around Norwich!).The signage on arrival could have been better. Completely enjoyed our stay and found the layout / location of the kids play area to be well thought out. Also enjoyed the dog walks that were available starting with those on the campsite.

The facilities and staff were great.

The booking initially was a bit frustrating as I tried to do it online and it isn't fully automatic. But hey well worth a visit and we will return.
