We stayed here for a week with a tent and ended the previous 3 months drought in East Anglia! The small site is reasonably level and the unisex facilities are quirky and unique but add to the Pond Farm experience.
There is plenty of hot water, free freezer use and a well stocked honesty shop. Campsite staff all friendly and helpful. No facilities for children. 15 minute walk to nearest 'locals' pub.
The walk to Cromer along the beach is fantastic and the nearby town of Sherringham worth a visit. Good walking country. C
ampsite ideal for couples who don't want to join in with the crowds at more commercialised sites and enjoy more traditional camping.
Myself, my partner and our dog stayed here for just one night. We wanted to get away on our rest day and looking at the weather reports this location suggested the possibility of sun!
On arrival we were met with the extremely friendly site owner, she was very helpful and essentially gave us a tour, the site is only small but it was still helpful.
We were then showed to our pitch in quite a small field, there was only one other tent in the field so we could pick where ever we wished. Clearly it was a very quiet night which is always good.
The next morning I could see the facilities, quite frankly they were excellent, far surpassed my expectations of a small inexpensive campsite. Clean, modern, working is all I would say. There was even an honesty based tuck shop where snacks, other food, toilet roll, tooth brush etc could be purchased.
There is apparently a walk to the nearest beach which we decided to drive to! Very nice beach.
All in all a good campsite, my only problem would be in the summer it may be a bit packed as it is a small field. Then again they may have a strict cull on the amount of campers so I may be being unfair.
I stayed at Pond Farm for two nights with a couple of mates and my 3 year old son (Charlie). The site was an instant hit with Charlie owing to a disused tractor in the corner of the family field.
When we pulled up we received a warm welcome and were shown the amenities and the family field (there's a separate, quieter field for grown-ups). The facilities were great, the showers were hot and the whole toilet block was clean. Just outside the toilet block there is a drinking water tap, waste disposal area and an airline for inflating beds.
Head into the campers kitchen and you're presented sinks for washing up and a bank of fridges and freezers, a couple of microwaves and a couple of toasters, all free for campers use. One of the fridges and freezers has some basic provisions in it that are available for sale (there’s an honesty box system and the prices look like they’re probably cost price) similarly there are some cans of food, small gas cylinders, tent pegs etc. So if you have forgotten something you should be ok.
We had a lovely stay and hopefully will be returning next year, bringing my wife and daughter along too!
Hi having had a few years away from this site it was nice to return with the grandchildren and find the services as good as ever. There may lack the big sites facilities but it is made up in the friendliness and services they do provide like use of microwaves,and fridge/freezers for all at no extra charge. They even provide a basic shop of necessities. All the facilities provided are clean and checked regularly. As to the unishowers and toilets though only three of each we had no waiting for use. Most of the other campers are friendly and peace comes at 10.00pm as requested. Site is on an slight incline so the earth moves a little in the night, but not a lot. You are also near to a lot of great sandy beaches for the days but not much night life a couple of local pubs or into Cromer.
We stayed at pond farm with our two boys. The youngest had never been, he loved it.
The pitch was quite large, could fit your car next to your tent which was very handy. The owners were very kind & welcoming, we left our mugs at home and they kindly lent us two.I liked the idea of using the kettle and fridge, came in handy.
The shower block was small with only 3 loos and 3 showers. It didn't bother us as we never had to wait. Both toilets and showers were clean. I would say a small shelf in the shower would come in handy though.
Thank you for such a friendly, warm reception! We stayed for 3 nights whilst the site was very quiet.
There were lovely hot showers and the loos were always clean. I would have preferred single sex washing block, but this was a small annoyance. The kitchen with 2 microwaves, toasters, fridges and a large freezer made it very easy to keep milk and food fresh.
Lovely location with 25 min walk to the beach and lovely local pub. We will definitely return.
Have just returned after spending 4 nights. Very satisfied and very good value for money. Quiet site and not overcrowded
Only downfall was not enough toilets and showers when the site got busy, otherwise this is a very good site. Site owners very helpful. Free microwaves and toasters and also free airline to pump up airbeds and will definitely be returning
This was a last minute booking and I was pleased they could accommodate us. I was also impressed that although it was a bank holiday weekend they didn't insist on us booking for 3 nights as many sites do. It's in a nice quiet location in the countryside but we found it quite easily.
The site itself is very basic. The one shower block is breeze blocks with a corrugated metal roof. There are 3 toilets on one side and 3 showers on the other. Also in this block is the washing up area and laundry area. It is unisex, which I found a bit uncomfortable and I would have preferred the wash basins to be in cubicles. The showers are good but the dressing area has muddy wooden duck boards which make it difficult to get dressed without getting dirty again!
My main issue though was the pitch we were on which sloped quite noticeably in not one but two directions. It took us a few minutes to work out the best way to pitch the tent and each morning we found the airbed had slid down and across by about 6 inches! Looking at the other pitches in the field they all seemed to be sloping too.
Aside from that no real complaints but I don't think we'll be staying there again. It's a bit too basic for me.
We have just returned from a stay in the Annexe at Pond Farm, a two bedroom facility within the family home, but completely separate, with it's own entrance, kitchen, lounge and massive bathroom. Paul and Sue who run the site are very friendly and helpful, showing us round when we arrived, including all the campers facilities, which look basic but very clean. The annexe has two bedrooms, one being accessed via a spiral staircase from the kitchen. Very comfortable firm beds in both rooms, with storage for clothes. The kitchen has everything from cleaning items to rolling pins, the lounge had books, dvd's and playing cards, as well as a large selection of brochures for places to visit. Local phone numbers are listed as well as local shop opening times. One of the most enjoyable things was total peace and quiet, no road noise, just the birds and the wind in the trees. It was also very dark at night, perfect for star gazing. There were some campers while we were there, although you wouldn't know it as they were very quiet. There is a pub a short walk away along the lane, and various walks across fields round about. Bikes can be hired just up the lane too. We would definitely stay at Pond Farm again.
We stayed at Pond Farm as a base for Gobur Caravan’s Preview Weekend.
Pond Farm is what I call a no frills site. It occupies a totally peaceful location in a network of very small lanes. Presumably, this is why they accept caravans “by appointment only”. Our tiny Gobur was fine, but medium to large combinations might find access a little awkward.
Virtually all pitches are slightly sloping. As has previously been posted, there are two pitching areas. The “front field” has little shelter; measures very approximately 100m x 20m and is allocated for adults only. Many of the marked pitches showed considerable wear, (however, we have had a period of very dry weather) and the field was peppered with mole hills. The “back field”; again little shelter; measured very approximately 70m x 30m narrowing to 20m; this is allocated for families.
Conveniently located between the two pitching fields are the facilities. This is housed in what looks like a converted shed or garage. The interior is pretty basic with 3 showers (free) and 3 wc’s which is laid out as a unisex provision. Also incorporated is a laundry washing / drying provision. The whole arrangement is a little cramped by current standards. Opposite is also a handy room with fridge / freezers / microwave and toaster.
For your basics, there is a very small shop on site. (But it was not open at all during our stay). Next nearest is the Woodlands Leisure Centre shop just up the road, otherwise go to Overstrand. Cromer has all the usual supermarkets.
Quite dramatic (for Norfolk anyway!) cliff walks and deserted sandy beaches nearby at Sidestrand and Trimmingham.
If you like all singing, all dancing family shows; Cromer’s End of the Pier Show is excellent. Also check what is on at The Little Theatre at Sheringham.
To sum up, a no frills site in a peaceful location. However, in terms of that elusive thing we call ‘quality’; at £7 per person per night no ehu, we’ve had better value for money. Pity that their buy one night and get one free in September offer was not extended to us on 02 / 03 /04 October.
Just as previous campers have said, this is a lovely quiet site. Paul and Sue very helpful and always seem to be around if you need help.
Two fields, one for families and one for adults, both close to toilets etc.
Shower and toilets, basic but very clean, looks ram shackled but not once you are inside, they are very warm too.
Sue has a stock of freezer packs that you can borrow if you forget yours and you can freeze your own. Fridges and freezers to store your food in and Microwaves and toasters to use. They also have free air to pump up your beds etc.
Small shop on site selling most things you might of forgotten along with camping gear as well.
All in all a very nice base to explore Norfolk would definitely recommend.
We got the special pay for 1 night and get one free deal in Sept.
Had a fab bank holiday weekend at Pond Farm. When we arrived we were greeted and shown our pitch and the excellent facilities (microwaves and fridge/freezer space) We stayed in the family field which was very spacious and peaceful. We also went to the Foundary Arms pub 1 mile down the road where the food was excellent and good value for money,8 people main course and dessert plus two rounds of drinks £ 110 bargain.We didn't book but the staff were very accommodating in finding us space for such a large party. Booking on weekend may be a must. Overstrand is a nice walk away with a fabulous walk on the beach .Also a dog walk around Pond Farm gave our legs a stretch in the evening about 1 mile.
Wonderful site. Owners very helpful. We pitched a bell tent, plenty of room for it in the spacious pitches. Site run well, plenty of amenities yet still charmingly rustic and peaceful!
My daughter left her soft toy behind and they kindly offered to post it on to us!
Area lovely, esp Overstrand beach. We used the pool at the local caravan site nearby (but feel the food at that place was too expensive).
Booked a 2night stay at this site, was met by Paul who was friendly and showed us our pitch. 3 toilets and showers had to queue for some time for showers. They really are not ideal in size with a small child to shower, there are 2 hooks in each and no where to put anything, trying to get yourself dry and dressed and a child is a nightmare as the boarding is soaking from previous people. Washing up sinks and fridges, freezers at no extra cost. Site was well lit at night although a bit uneven in places. I was a bit disappointed as we were put on the adult pitch even though we had our young son with us, and we had booked a few weeks in advance. The site is ok but beware of pitch no 9 which is very uneven, I don't now if we stayed on a bad weekend but someone was working in there workshop till until early hours of the morning, also cars will coming in very late at night, not good when you have a young child, bit disappointed and packed up and went home after first night as managed to get half an hour sleep all in all!
