This is a lovely site which is well used by day fishermen as well as seasonal campers. The toilets and showers are basic but very clean, my only drawback was the shower curtain I dislike having to unstick myself continuously from it. When we arrived we were shown to our pitch and the owner stated that nobody else would be coming next to us so we could pitch anywhere in the area he showed us. My husband wanted to pitch sideways on but I said no one else was but he insisted. Two people walking by were glaring at us and shortly after the owner rushed up and was clearly annoyed at us told my husband off, adamant he said we had to site it towbar first. We moved the van as directed and spent 4 days with people walking in front of our unit or nipping by the back of us to the toilets. If we had pitched as my husband wanted we would have had more peace! The 2 people were seasonal pitches and were not friendly. Still a good site and location. No body spoke to us while we there so campers not friendly a pity really. Did not spoil our time there.
Our first visit. Friendly greeting from owner on arrival, escorted to pitch area and offered choice of pitch. All pitches surround the lake and are generous size. The ducks and geese with their families were very entertaining company. ! The showers and toilets although not the most modern, kept clean and tidy. Fish and chip van Friday evening, good food reasonably priced. The site is quiet and well looked after. Only improvement we could suggest would be another elsan point, only two (that we could find) but one outside main gate. Owner was around the site several times each day, to check if guests were OK or needed help/advice/information. In our experience, sites whose owners show an interest in their guests' well being are usually the best. Good location for places to visit. We will revisit Gatton Waters and would recommend it.
First time at this site. Owners polite and welcoming. Our pitch was good and had a great view over the lake. I must admit we loved the adult only theme, nice and quiet with no kids kicking footballs or screaming around on bikes. The site was full but a lot are seasonal vans so there were not a lot of folks about. Facilities were good. Showers nice and clean even though I am not a great lover of preset temperatures with push button operation but really they were fine. Lots to do around. You can hear the traffic on the main road slightly and the geese at night and early morning but if your not a light sleeper like me its not an issue. Its a lovely chill out site. Nice to sit at the side of water for breakfast and evening meal with a cold drink. Would I go back?. Yes
A lovely picturesque quiet site. All units are sited round the lake so there is always something happening - ducks, geese flying in, ducklings swimming, men fishing, people walking round. Everyone was very friendly, the owner James welcomed us and gave us a choice of pitches.
Our nearest toilet block was very clean but the showers were cool maybe cos it was late morning.
My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fishing and at £5 a day it is very good value. The lake is well stocked with many coarse fish as well as some large carp.
Lots of places to visit nearby, we had a scooter so went to Kings Lynn, Hunstanton, Sandringham, and explored many of the pretty villages.
Ate at the Rose and Crown at Harpley - super food in a lovely old pub.
Would definitely return as it is a haven of peace and quiet yet handy to visit lots of places.
What a great site, peaceful and a joy to wake up in the morning looking over the lake, with all the ducks geese etc. We only stayed 1 night and it was Thursday so could not try the café or bar, which was a pity as it is a walk away from anything. It did not alter our enjoyment of the park though and will definitely be coming back in the not to distant future hopefully. Many thanks guys caroline and ole.
We went there last week (spring half term) along with another LR couple we are friends with.
Great welcome, almost immediate response from the owner who was out and about, to site us in a great location facing the lake.
Arrived Friday just before six and the Fish & Chip van turned up at 7:30. Excellent meal and very fairly priced with excellent service.
Didn't use the bar, although it seems a great spot and well supported. It is open Weds, Fri, Sat & Sun nights.
Four toilet/shower blocks kept spotlessly clean and work well (although I didn't use them personally). Two Elsan points at opposite sides of the lake, one as you go out the main gate, equipped with disposable gloves, anti-bac', etc.
The gate is a barrier with a key fob actuator which is locked between 2300 & 0700 which I thought a nice touch.
18 quid a night all in - EHU and Awning in our case.
If I had to have a moan it was that my Vodafone dongle was low signal GPRS and my phone on EE was most definitely not, 'Everything Everywhere', but that's not the site or the owners' fault in any way.
A shame they can't take tents because we have a camper amongst our 'crew' and so we will have to go elsewhere next time when they come.
Absolutely loads of green lanes to drive in the area along with several nice fords too.
Biggest disappointment of our 8 night stay was putting off the North Norfolk Railway trip until Thursday, only to turn up at Holt station to find out that there was only a diesel service as one of the loco's had derailed outside the shed meaning they couldn't get anything else out! Don't get me wrong, a Class 31 diesel does sound nice, but it ain't steam - you know what I mean (so that was 44 quid they missed out on this time). Gutted!
What was really good was the Muckleburgh Collection, which is on the site of a Royal Artillery training camp. Fantastic private owned military vehicle museum, with a cafe that served an awesome all day brekkie for under 6 quid!
Asda less than 10 mins away on the outskirts of Kings Lynn (other conglomerates are available) or if coming back to the site from the East there's a Tesco and Morrisons in Fakenham (although the Tesco doesn't have fuel) less than 25 mins out.
The biggest bug-bear of all was the Long-let owner next door who turned up around midnight and then decided to cut his grass at 9am the next morning! It's strange, but ever since our first days of caravanning several years ago, it's always the long-lets that seem to cause any issues that might arise. Maybe they think that because they pay all year around, it gives them perks.
'Bout it really. We loved it, that's all that matters!
What a lovely site ! All pitches are around the well stocked lake. Lots of seasonal pitches but not many people around. A bit isolated if you don't have a car but then you go there just to relax, do a bit of fishing, walk round the lake and chat to the neighbours.
We loved the peace and quiet and can't wait to go again. Facilities were very good, nice and clean. We were invited to join the 'regulars' at the small bar which promised to be warm and friendly but husband wouldn't stop fishing ! Very relaxing.
We had planned our trip to Gatton Waters for some time and were really looking forward to our two week stay. Having travelled 400 miles to this site we were pleased to find we were not to be disappointed - I have never been on a caravan site where the other caravanners (seasonal and tourers) are so friendly
On arrival we were met and taken directly to our pitch, which is always facing towards the lake, and is large enough to accommodate a large caravan and awning. The positive comments below already give the warm and friendly attitude of both the owners and the seasonal caravanners, most of whom are also keen anglers.
Although the site does not have a shop there is a shop/garage a short distance away plus the main shopping area of Kings Lynn only 7 miles away.
If you need fishing bait/tackle or advise then visit Shipshape Tackle in Kings Lynn.
Sandringham is only a couple of miles away and the coast not very further.
Fishing is excellent with carp up to 30lbs as well as the usual mixture of coarse fish. Tickets are £4.50p a day and well worth it, just a shame you have to buy a ticket each day before you can fish.
As we do not use the on-site toilets/showers (prefer to use out own) I can't make any comments.
I would certainly recommend this site if your looking for a relaxing, friendly site and enjoy fishing. Oh the bar serves a good pint as well.
We had a lake view and we weren't expecting to being a tent! The sunsets were fabulous.
The owners were very welcoming.
It is really quiet and peaceful and relaxing apart from the ducks, geese, wood pigeons, seagulls and pheasants - but that's nature. There is some road noise depending on the wind direction. It is also quiet because there are lots of seasonal pitches with no-one there.
We were able to order milk and newspapers daily.
There's a bar which opens 4 nights a week but we didn't use it. Also the fish and chip van comes on a Friday, sadly we weren't there on a Friday.
The shower and toilet block was basic but kept clean. There were only 2 showers and 2 toilets in our block but we never had to queue.
It's a great little site that we would have loved to return to however they are taking no more bookings for tents, just honouring ones already made. Very sad.
We have just come back from our first visit to gatton waters, and what a lovely place it is!
Set around a lake, and yes each pitch really did have a view. The owners make you feel very welcome as do the resident pitch holders, it has a real community feel.
Being adult only it really is quiet and peaceful and relaxing, just what we were after.
The site has a bar, which is open on certain days of the week, and you can order milk and newspapers daily.
The facilities are very pleasant if not a bit basic, shower and toilet blocks comprising of two toilets and two showers, although we never had to wait, and they are indeed very clean and the water is always hot! the washing up station is attached to this also very good, but only one per block, again we never had to wait.
The lake is beautiful plenty of ducks, geese and other waterfowl and wildlife! the lake can be fished for a small daily ticket price, plenty of pegs etc, lake stocked with the usual suspects carp, bream, etc etc.
This site is also very dog friendly (although we didn't take ours this time) it was nice to see so many happy dogs enjoying there holidays too!
It's a good base to tour norfolk, sandringham on the doorstep,and places like cromer and the rest of the coast just down the road, there's lots to see and do.
Fantastic site that we will return to, if you want peace and quiet in a beautiful setting then it's definitely recommended!
