 This is a great site for touring North East Norfolk. Sandringham, Hunstanton, Wells-next-Sea, Sheringham and Cromer are all within easy reach.
The site is on different levels with family areas and an adults only area. There is a small shop on site selling the basic essentials. The toilets/shower blocks are well maintained, nice to use and cleaned regularly, there is a mop & bucket of disinfectant available which is changed daily.
The only down side is that you need to pay for Wifi but there is an 'O2' transmitter at the edge of the site.

Stayed here weekend just gone and loved it. Firstly far enough away from houses roads etc to be very peaceful. Very nice staff nothing too much trouble. 2x shower/toilet blocks one more modern than the other but both very clean with plenty of room. Nice little bar with a waiter service restaurant open weds fri sat sun. Very clean well looked after site. We stayed on a super pitch, water waste tv etc which was directly next to your van. Also has a fishing pond in middle of site. A long drive off the beaten track but suited us as so quiet. Very handy for wells, Sherringham, Cromer etc, all no more than half hour away. Would definitely use again. Recommended. Be mindful of arrival and departure times as they are very insistent on this and when you get there you see why, the lane is very very narrow and wouldn't want to meet another van coming the other way, but if you stick to times you won't have a problem (fingers crossed). All and all give it a try, I was impressed.

Stayed on this site in July for four nights. Site was nice facilities okay in the ladies shower block only two showers out of the three were working at any time. On arrival staff not very welcoming although not busy. Only three motorhomes on site due to the fact there is no local bus links.

We've just returned from this lovely campsite. The entrance lane is very narrow so the offsite by 11am on site not before 1. 30pm is very important. It's well laid out with plenty of room between caravans. We stayed in the Adult Only field which was lovely and quiet with just the dog walkers passing through. Toilet blocks are newly refurbished, warm and very clean. The shop/reception has a few essentials and you can order bread and newspapers. We did visit the bar one evening, it was full of staff and no customers. We didn't visit the restaurant, one look at the prices and we decided it was far too expensive - lower your prices and your bar maybe full of customers rather than staff. However, this was the only downside to the campsite, it's really very nice and peaceful. If we're ever in the area again we'd definitely stay again.

This is our first visit to this lovely quiet site, the site was not completely full which helped to make it quiet. The narrow lane leading to the site means that leaving & arrival times must be adhered to.
The site is nicely laid out in small areas including an adult only area. The toilet/shower blocks supplied very hot water and showers were good, although not dirty we did note that the small block did not get cleaned whilst we were there. The larger block we did not use but they appeared to be clean. A new toilet block is in the process of being built.
The restaurant served very good food and does take away, its a shame they limit the open days to only part of the week.
When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and all the staff we met were very helpful & friendly. Reception had a few items of groceries etc.
There is a small play area for children placed just far enough away from pitches that the kids can enjoy themselves and make noise without disturbing anyone.
The sites location is ideal for looking around the top of Norfolk and not to far from Fakenham where there are supermarkets etc.
We enjoyed our stay and we will use the site again.

Access is down a narrow lane, hence the strict rules for departure and arrival times. We were met at reception by friendly staff and were allocated pitch 1 opposite the shower block. One of the staff members kindly pitched and levelled the van for us too. The site is set out in different areas creating a cosy friendly atmosphere. We usually book Adult only sites or travel in term time, however our visit included part of the bank holiday weekend and we were in the family area. Fortunately the children weren’t noisy ( yapping dogs were a lot noisier made my 2 dogs seem like angels). The dog barking started at 7. 30am, so no lie ins!Shower and toilet block was immaculate and although the site was full, we never had to queue. They are in the process of building a new block. There is a shop and restaurant on site too. ( didn’t use the restaurant). The site is well situated for visiting places of interest in Norfolk.
We really liked this site and have booked again on one of the CC pitches.

Great site and central to all places we wanted to visit, toilets excellent as were showers, lots of hot water. No traffic. Stayed 4 days, due to nice weather decided to stay 2 more days and the site was able to accommodate us late on a Friday evening for a further 2 days, we were so grateful as it would have been miles and miles home. Other sites were booked or not fit to be in over a weekend, so thanks to site we had a great holiday. Will definitely go back.

We were led to believe we were booked into the CL part however we were on the pitches opposite so did not get to experience the luxury toilet blocks reserved for those.
We also didn't like the way staff were not very welcoming towards us (maybe because we had young children and a dog).
We were made to feel not very welcome in the on site restaurant which was only open on our arrival day Saturday.
Might be nice for elderly couples but we felt unwelcome.

Beautiful site with modern facilities, perfect for visiting north Norfolk coast. A warm welcome, lovely staff. The bistro serves excellent food and wine. We highly recommend this site and will return.

We had been to this site approx. 15years ago & enjoyed it then, so thought a return was in order. Yes it is down a narrow lane, but due to arrivals not allowed until the afternoon its not really a problem. Being a little way off the main road ensures its very quite. Loo blocks are spotless, staff helpful & price not too high. Only down sides are bar on site only open a few nights a week (hard to understand as we were there at a Bank Holiday week with a full site) & 5mph speed limit not enforced.
Overall an excellent site & wouldn't hesitate to return

The site itself is beautiful. It's open all year and accepts dogs. We found this in desperation when looking for a site with harstanding that takes dogs and open all year. The staff are very friendly and the facilities are immaculate. Unfortunately this site is not suitable if you are in a motorhome as it's down a very long track (which was very wet and muddy when we went). There was only about 1 passing place. It would take ages to walk anywhere from this site so it is only ideal if you have transport. We were there on a Thursday and the club opens Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I was surprised it opens Wednesday but not Thursday!

It's ages since I stayed at The Old Brick Kilns, but I've just realised you didn't leave a review, and it's definitely worth one of those.
Firstly, this is just one of the most beautiful and well laid out caravan sites I think I know. It's close to Fakenham and the north Norfolk coast, and if you're looking for peace and quiet in stunning surroundings in this area, this site simply has to be on your list.
The pitch I had was hard standing, but surrounded by grass and beside the small fishing pond. All fine and dandy under normal conditions, but my visit co-coincided with serious rainfall.
Of course the caravan was no problem, but the surrounding grass got a bit waterlogged and getting in and out with the car meant it was difficult not to leave tracks. The rest of the site didn't appear to suffer from the over abundance of rain, and my pitch was one of the lowest.
Everything else was perfect. The welcome was warm and helpful, the showers were hot and plentiful and the other facilities were spotless.
All in all I stayed at The Old Brick Kilns for about a month whilst working in Norfolk and it was superb.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Old Brick Kilns and heaping well deserved praise on the site owners.

Struggling to find exactly what makes this site as exceptional as other people's stars indicate if I'm honest. Yes it's a clean and tidy site, and the toilet block near us was exceptionally clean but there are also a few down points. Maybe it's because our pitch was probably the worst one on the whole site that's put me off, but we were pitched on a corner, with our towbar on the van about a foot away from the road, and my goodness what a noisy road surface! The stones when people drove over them, or even walked on them were so loud, we honestly thought someone was coming into the awning at times. Also not keen on having a large grassed area for kids to play on in the middle of all the pitches, much prefer a play field away from pitches. Early teens having a water bomb fight and screaming at the top of their voices is not for me!having said that, it did go extremely quiet very early on, and was quiet most mornings too. Due to our pitch location, we also had nowhere to sit out either, which was disappointing especially as we had decent weather. No pubs or shops within walking distance, but ideally located for travelling to many nice places, loved Wells. No privacy on any pitches, and some seemed very much on top of each other. Very friendly staff and shop stocking essentials. Didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment, WiFi didn't work as often as it did work, which is annoying as we paid for it, but is externally hosted so not sites fault but difficult to sort. Probably wouldn't return unless we managed to get one of the caravan club more private better pitches, but may suit other people.

This was our second visit here and we've visited a lot of others between. As a result we were disappointed. We had chosen the adult field as it was school holidays and found the pitches a little tight in this area. Ours was in a corner and we had dog walkers (including children despite the notice) walking very close to the van and had to reverse the car between our awning guys and the hitch of the van also in the corner. Our neighbours set up a table under our window and sat chatting to friends there again because of size of pitch and dog walkers passing in front. Facilities were excellent but didn't see staff to talk to as on other sites. Everything was well maintained and shop sold papers so good. Just size of pitches on our field put us off. Perhaps one less in corner by dog walk and bringing walk out away from vans would help.
Despite long access lane didn't create any problems and lots to do in the area.

Stayed at this site over a weekend for two nights. The site is well maintained and very clean. Onsite bar with restaurant attached, this was a lovely addition as we were able to take our dog into the bar area. Although not very big, the area was plenty big enough.
Facilities were kept clean and tidy. The site was busy with caravans however remained a very peaceful site. The owners were very friendly and answered and questions we had. We will definitely be returning.
As mentioned in earlier reviews the lane is single track, but as we were camping this didn't effect us.
