We just came back from our five nights stay at the site and it was great.
All the staff we met were helpful and friendly specially Carol. I requested for two tent pitches with electric hook up by the hedges as both families have children and its extra security and cover for the wind (no.18 & 17). The pitches are big, we even manage to make a badminton court which we use a lot, kids enjoyed the playground as well. We are close to the toilet / shower and we always use them late at night so we never had a problem with the queue, except sometimes with a bit of smell not sure if it was the drainage or the toilet but it did not bother us.
We used the bar once until midnight and its good as they have a family room so the kids enjoyed the games and pool tables.
The beach is only 12 min walk, if you want to drive. The parking is only £2.50 for the whole day. Before the beach there is a small amusement area and fish&chips.
We enjoyed catching crabs in Hunstanton and Cromer. If you like fishing you must visit Clay next the sea, we did fly fishing and swimming there from 5pm to 10pm. Its around 32 miles from the site and the scenery along A149 was wonderful.
We definitely will recommend this site and will come back one day.
We've just returned from Diglea, and I have to say, our feelings are very mixed about this site.
It's quite a big site, but it's mainly filled with statics and seasonal pitches, with only a relatively small area given for tents and vans, and a seperate rally field. Our pitch was really small, with 2 trees slap bang in the middle of it. They admitted we had been given this pitch by mistake, as it was too small for a van with awning, and they had to come and trim the trees back before we could site the van! They did offer us another pitch in the rally field, but that was even more cramped, so we decided to stay put.
We were right next to the play area, which was lovely for the kids, and really well equipped. Not so nice at dusk when the older kids congregated for their nightly water fights. The language was very loud 'colourful' and when I asked 1 young lad to cool it, he told me to 'eff off' and threw a handful of stones at the caravan!
The shower blocks were in desperate need of updating, but were adequate, and were cleaned regularly. They were free, with plenty of hot water (except for 2 days when the boiler broke, and it was cold showers or nothing!)
The on-site bar really let the site down. The outside seating area was filthy, with empty glasses and bottles strewn on the tables for 3 or 4 days. There was dog mess near the tables and broken glass in the bbq shelter. This was never cleaned up for the whole of our stay. But there is a lovely bar on the site next door, which is only a 2 minute walk away.
There is a nice dog walk on the site, but again this was unfortunately badly maintained, and the bins were overflowing with stinking piles of doggy bags.
This has the makings of a really good site, but was badly let down by the poor maintenance and laid-back attitudes. The owners and staff were lovely, and would go out of their way to help you, but really need to tighten up the cleanliness of the whole site, and keep a much closer eye on the play area.
Luckily, the surrounding area was beautiful, which really made our holiday worthwhile. Snettisham beach is quite shingly but still lovely, and is around 15mins walk from the site, with a lovely chippy en-route. There is also a small shop near the beach which sells basic groceries. Dersingham, which is a 5 min drive away, has a couple of bigger grocery shops and a cash machine, and there is a big Tesco in Hunstanton. Old Hunstanton beach is gorgeous, and we really sandy, and Hunstanton beach is really nice, but is much busier and touristy with lots of amusements and fast food kiosks. Dogs are allowed on all the beaches except the main one at Hunstanton. Sandringham is a couple of miles from the site, and the grounds are great for a picnic, or for letting the kids run off some steam. There is also a lovely farm park in Snettisham, which is well worth a visit for the deer safari alone. You are taken by tractor and trailer right into the middle of the deer park, and can feed and pet them, which the kids loved.
This area is beautiful and definitely worth a visit, but I don't think we'll be returning to Diglea in a hurry.
Just returned from this site after a midweek break 2 adults and two children, a very nice clean site. The toilets / showers were clean, although it pays to keep the shower button pressed in while showering or it will stop.
The childrens playground is small but there is enough play equipment to keep the children happy for an hour.
Was met at reception by steve, who was more than helpful and found the rest of the staff obliging and happy to talk if you had any problems (we didnt).
The beach is about ten minutes walk from the campsite,the beach is on the stony side,but the children still enjoyed it. There are no shops on site, however there are a couple of shops and a fish and chip shop near the beach.
The RSPB reserve is only 100 yds from the campsite and if you enjoy wildlife or walking it is well worth a visit.
There is a small club on site which has live entertainment on weekends
All in all our visit was enjoyable,and we have booked to go again in august.I would recommend this site to anyone wishing to visit Norfolk.
Stayed at Diglea on the strength of previous good reviews and we're returning this weekend. Would back up everything said on previous review, fish & chip shop is very good, just turn left out of main entrance and walk along (quiet) road for about 3 mins. Great on a Friday evening after you've set up. Groceries can be had 7 days a week at shop on a static caravan site just past chip shop on left, it's not immediately obvious. They're open from 7am she said.
Laundry was useful.
Best of site? I'd say cleanliness of washrooms.
Could improve? Only answerphone at 7pm on a Thursday evening, had to wait until Friday morning to hear if they had free pitches.
Just moved from a trailer tent to a caravan and this was our first outing. Made a good choice in Diglea. We were on the rally field (no electric) so the 12volt and gas were put to the test. Worked perfectly.
Met by Steve at reception and made to feel like old friends instead of first timers.
Busy site and very child friendly. Small play area on site. Plenty of room for ball games, on-site pub. Shop is a 15 minute stroll toward the beach. Fish and chips 5 mins. Toilet / showers generally clean but can get rather busy. Plenty of hot water. Avoid the showers at 7.30am when they are cleaned or use a neighbouring block. Site is basic but well priced at £43 for 3 nights including a bank holiday. Pub landlord had his birthday while we were there. Must have been a good night he was still steaming the next day.
Don`t expect lots of things to do on site. Good base for touring the coast.
Been to this site a few times now and intend going again this year (2007) - have always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful - as we don't like to much noise from kids etc now as ours have left home (hooray) - we have asked on more than one occasion to be allowed on the rally field which is much more peaceful, and the staff have obliged us. Had to laugh at one posting about having to suffer bird song - this site is in the country that's what comes with it and is part of the charm of this area! I love the long walks along the paths and beach. Hunstanton/Heacham/Snettisham has been a favourite with me since my kids were young - have lost count of the number of times I've been to Castle Rising., Kings Lynn has a very nice shopping centre and keeps my wife in her element! The site is very down to earth - you don't feel as if you are out of place with an old caravan and an even older car (1970 Triumph 2.5 PI) - I hate this oh you have to park exactly on this concrete block etc. You have the chance of using electric hook ups but we still prefer the independance of a 12v battery. Toilets and showers are always clean and the hot water never seems to run out! Prices are fair - certainly cheaper that some I can mention - the only downside is the main field can get a bit packed (in July it was) and you can get a few too many footballs into the side of your caravan and barbecues blowing the wrong way so we do try to pick non peak weeks where we have had the place to ourselves! NB don't walk through the shanty town between the lakes and the sea as its not a public right of way- I got told off for doing it ! Bigger fools them - £125.000 for a shack with no electricity! Recommended site. 9/10
Spent the Easter weekend here, Thur-Mon. Very friendly site with excellent staff & very clean facilities. We were lucky enough to be sited where the the toilets blocks had been opened the day we arrived. We were one of 9 units staying together and the staff were very helpful in keeping us all together.
My only concern would be that the family room may longer big enough if the site is full. We were going to go one night but it was packed and very smokey will change of course in July). But, this is only a minor thing and I would definitely like to revisit the site.
Very good pitches, the pitches are massive we could have easily put three motorhomes on the one pitch with more room to spare. Pitch prices are good with or without electric hookup. They also have some hard standing pitches, Unfortunatly we could not stay longer than two days as they were fully booked but we would have liked to.
Diglea is lovely friendly site with friendly service, I even saw the wardens helping people set put their caravans while we were there. Even the ducks are friendly
Very accomodating and friendly people. There is a shop, Chip Shop and small ammusments about 8 to ten minutes walk away and club on site.
This was our first trip out in our Motorhome and it was fantastic! Lovely walks, Nature reserve nearby, Lovely chips from the nearby chippy, Nice beach about 12 minutes walk away.
Everything you could want for a relaxing break only thing the village of Snettsham needs is an ATM machine the site does cater for plastic but it does not cater for cashback yet so take enough money or you'll be having a trip to Hunstanton about 8 miles away. But we spent less that £10 in two days so we didn't have to worry.
If you like a relaxing time fishing / walking and just chilling out then diglea is a fantastic site and well worth a visit
Well, we arrived on what ended up being the most horrendous day, weather wise, for ages. The friendly site staff turned up, without being asked, and helped us erect our poor windswept camp. Bravo for the staff. we booked a pitch in the rally field and although the weather was atrocious it was still fairly busy. There were 23 marked out and serviced pitches and I guess a further possible 40 unmarked pitches. The toilet block which services this field was in a poor state of dilapidation, but not dirty. The gents portion offered 2 closets, 2 showers,2 urinals and 2 sinks for all those pitches?? . In honesty I feel the site would benefit from demolishing it and starting again and to make matters worse the poor staff had to contend with the usual group of mindless morons who decided to 'have a go' at the toilets, which were quickly put back into service. Bravo for the staff again. I would go back here but would book a pitch in the camping area in the centre of the park as their toilet blocks were far superior. All in all a nice site,nice weekend and close to a fantastic beach but bring your first night stores with you, no shops here.
Just returned from Diglea this afternoon. Had lovely weekend, lovely weather and lovely site. Everyone friendly and helpful and site very children and dog friendly. Pitched tent in lovely area with trees right next to kids play area so the kids had a great time and we had a well earned relax! Will definitely be returning to Diglea probably in August. Only down side I could find was no shop on site, it would be useful to have one for your daily milk/paper etc however, shop just up the road so not too much trouble.
We arrived at the campsite on a Thursday and had the pick of the pitches in the tent field as there were only a few people there. Each pitch was marked out clearly with plenty of space, which meant that at the weekend nobody camped too closely as the site got busier. Even when the site got busy it didn't seem too crowded. We decided not to camp in the wooded area near to the kids playground as staff told us it could get quite noisy, but for a family with young kids it would be perfect.
There were plenty of toilet/shower blocks throughout the site. The one in the tent field comprised of 3x showers and 3x toilets. These were kept clean and the soap dispenser even had soap in it! Showers were free, although not very hot, and had an adequate private changing area inside the shower cubicle that was lockable. Pot washing facilities were in a neighbouring block (also inside) and we never had to queue. Fresh drinking water was also available from a tap outside.
We only visited the bar on site once, prices were reasonable although they could have done with more outside seating. There were another couple of bars within 5 mins walking distance and they all seemed pretty similar.
There was a lot to see and do in the local area - plenty of castles and a lovely priory if you like that sort of thing! The beach was only a short walk away, although we found the beaches at Old Hunstanton and further north round the coast to be prettier. Hunstanton is like a mini-Blackpool with amusement arcades and fairground rides, but was a nice place to stop for fish and chips.
We took our dog and only found one beach with an exclusion zone - the camp site was very dog friendly and had a discrete dog toilet area.
The site was well maintained and staff very friendly. We had no problems with noise, except for the birds singing in the morning! We would definitely camp here again
Just spent a bank holiday week end at Diglea for the first time and the first time in Norfolk. I must say how nice the site is. The staff are very helpful and very laid back towards life. The showers were hot and clean and very well looked after in general. A few puddles around because of the english weather but nothing much.
Pubs x 3 all clean and tidy beer at a real price not OTT all. Playing live music if that's your thing. The band at Diglea was called the little big band and they were amazing. A good place to relieve stress.
Can't wait to go back we enjoyed it so much we are going back in August for 2 weeks.
We returned to Diglea along with other family members. Had a great time, such a welcoming place. Diglea is a favourite site because it is so family friendly. We had a pleasant walk along the beach to hunstanton where we stopped for tea and then walked back to Diglea, it was a great way to spend the day and the kids and dogs loved it. We recommend Diglea to all families to try.
We camped at Diglea for a long weekend, the welcome was friendly. There were two areas to camp for tents either a small wooded area near to the play area ideal with small children (no defined pitches just pitch were there is a space ),though this area is in the middle of the campsite and the noise travels from the club house at night.
The washing up facilities and toilet /shower blocks are just a few metres away(the showers were cleaned daily though they could do with updating abit). The other area is a plotted area in a separate field still with showering washing facilities.The site also had some static caravan, a rally field, and caravan areas.
The club house although small for the size of the site enabled parents to have a drink whilst children ran around outside on a lawned area. The camp is next to two others which have bars and eating areas,with a takeaway a couple of hundred metres away. The site is close to a beach and bord reserve but the better beaches were found on the north norfolk coast 10miles away .
If you are looking for a quiet site with lots of space then this isnt the site for you, but for a long weekend , a stones throw from Hunstanton it was a pleasant enought camping experience for a change
August 2005 The site had clean facilities and there was plenty of hot water from the showers. The disabled facilities were very good with accessible toilet and shower - you need to ask for a key at reception to use the disabled facilities.
The tent field we were in had a lot of trees in it - It was difficult to find a pitch that wasn't underneath them. But you could pitch where you like.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
