Reviewer: Ladyredbird 2 reviews from this member

 Well a truly beautiful site, catering for all types, the site wends its way into a wooded area if you prefer to sleep amongst the trees. The shower, toilet and washing facilities were all 1st class (plenty of hot water to shower) in fact my grandson had to have 3 showers (we were only there 1 night). The owner directed us to gorelston beach, truly vast sandy beach.

I managed to lock my car keys in the boot of my car! and the people looking after the site could not have been more helpful, as you can imagine mortified at doing such a stupid thing. Anyway they had a locksmith on hand and all was sorted. Phew. Had a wonderful stay non the less, gotta give it a go, its right next to the broads and up the coast is a seal colony.

Take extra/stronger tent pegs the ground is like iron i came back with tent pegs that looked like uri geller had performed his magic. All that sun and no rain. Jean

 We have visited this site once before in a smaller non EHU pitch a few years ago, but now with little one in tow we opted for the EHU, We arrived Monday the 29th and where given the option of where to pitch, Sue gave us our pin for the secured bollard and off we went, we had the Sahara 6 tent and where given large pitch, we opted for one against a fence line away from the road but close enough to watch the kids on the play ground.

The site is so well suited for trips around Norfolk it is brilliant, its 10 minutes from Great Yarmouth (although there is always traffic no matter what time you go) its 30-40 mins from Norwich and lots of other places within an hours drive, the little cafe on site sells some nice food and milkshakes for keeping cool, and looked as though it stocked some basic items if needed.

The toilets as mentioned previously are spotless and the warm water is always available, some times may be chilly for some but I prefer a cooler shower to one that burns you. Bricks are provided for BBQ's and there are water points in each field.

Yes the ground was 'Solid' but this cannot be helped we had a variety of pegs and yes we bent a few but on Thursday night with howling winds we slept sound in the knowledge they were not coming out the ground haha.

The playground is great for little ones and my lad enjoyed this nearly every morning I think he liked this more than any other part of our holiday having the play ground next to his tent.

Value for money for us was great as said above we are returning customers and will do again, we spoke with our neighbours who have returned every year for 35 years and stay from May - October and help out on the site, and where great, other people we chatted too also returned year on year I think this speaks for it self.

I think the site is suited to families with small children who do not want to be kept awake till all hours by club houses and other campers enjoying themselves till all hours (nothing against this, it has been done but we now have children and we will book accordingly) each to their own.

Nothing bad to say about this site and will return for many years to come hopefully.

We did pack up a day early mainly because of an ant infestation in our tent, but again this is to be expected and we should have taken measures earlier in the week, but also it showed Thunder storms for Saturday so thought we would stay for the 7:30pm circus showing and drive over night, needless to say after a day of wandering and a circus is needed a couple of power naps at 2am this morning.

We will always recommend the circus in Great Yarmouth to any one visiting too, it has become a little bit of a tradition for us and is thoroughly worth the trek for us.

Thank you to the owner and family for a very enjoyable stay once again.

 We stayed in the non electric pitches at the back end of the site for 2 nights. The campsite was very good. The kids enjoyed the play area and made some lovely friends. Their weekend deal was very well priced and I liked the fact there was no rush to leave on the Sunday as per most other sites.

When booking the site I liked the fact it had a cafe and was looking forward to using this instead of cooking breakfast, however it was shut the weekend we stayed due to annual leave! So unfortunately I can't review the food.

The toilet block was spotless and there was plenty of showers for the amount of pitches. I also loved the fact they offered a FREE freezer pack service which we used everyday. I think this should be free everywhere.

There was only one small draw back to the site and that was the very hard ground. I know that we have not had rain for ages, but I bent every peg trying to secure my tent (it's only small) and it appeared that most people had the same problem.

The other thing I noticed walking through the camp was that some of the electric serviced pitches were very close to the one road that ran through the park. I would be worried that my children would run out of the caravan into the road without thinking, as a child did to me when I was driving through on afternoon. Thankfully it's only a 10 miles a hour speed restriction so no injuries.

I would stay again and recommend to others, but maybe take heavy duty pegs with me :-)

 Excellent little campsite and very friendly staff. The non-electric tent field is after all of the caravan pitches and looks out onto open meadows. It was a very relaxing place to visit especially as it was quiet at the time. Their weekend deal meant it only cost us £22 for both Friday and Saturday night.

The site map shown an additional toilet block in the camping field but this was not there (possibly not built yet), but this was not a problem. The toilets/shower blocks were in excellent condition and very clean. The showers were free and always hot, the only negative was the lack of temperature control. A cold shower was needed on such a hot weekend.

Only tried the cafe once, but the owners were happy to open up for us and cook us breakfast after they had already shut up shop. There were also a few pubs in walking distance, the closest 5 mins away, but I did not go in.

The site was a good base to explore the Norfolk broads, Great Yarmouth and the surrounding areas. We cycled pretty much everywhere over out short holiday. Also worth a visit is the Priory Farm Restaurant approx 10min by car away. The food was excellent.

I would definitely go back!

Reviewer: Huck999 2 reviews from this member

 Could be a nice site or maybe you just need to pitch in the right place?

We chose near the gate which was also overlooked by the staff. Complaint after complaint after complaint.

Or maybe you shouldn't take kids, or bikes, or Phantom DJI's, or two cars, or, or, or.

After the first few days we felt like we were constantly being watched which was no fun at all.

The weekend was nice and quiet but the rest of the week we were woken up to to the dulcet tones of containers being murdered in the yard next door. Pick them up to move them? Don't be silly - just push them across the concrete yard - at 7am! Makes a lovely drum kit.

Never saw the cafe open at all - definitely losing out to the breakfast trade as many of the other campers would have also loved a bacon butty or two.

Showers on button timer - about 20 seconds - so you spend more time pushing than washing.

Good location for cycling - 5 miles via the river to Great Yarmouth and lots of cycle lanes everywhere.

Can recommend the Queens Head for good grub and drinks and the chinese near the Tesco Express.

Reviewer: Madita 5 reviews from this member

 What an excellent site! We turned up unannounced and they gave us a friendly welcome, found us a plot (we could choose according to preference) suggested dinner in the lovely on site cafe, which we had. The site layout is good, with plenty of room between vehicles, which is partly due to it being on two levels. The people on site were nice, the toilets and showers free and super clean and all facilities great. I would definitely visit again.

Although the site is just outside Belton, which is not desperately pretty, you do not see the town at all and there are lovely views of fields. It is easy to go to Yarmouth or the Broads and close to the Roman fort of Burgh Castle, which is well worth seeing.

Reviewer: Hedghog1 5 reviews from this member

 We have just spent a wonderful week at this campsite, the weather could have been a bit better but you cannot blame the site for that we had wind and rain, the drainage on site was 1st class. The facilities on site were some of the best we have ever encountered always clean and tidy, site maintenance was superb even when a full service pitch had a burst pipe. Plenty to do in the area, with easy access to shops and local attractions. Nice pub serving food within walking distance(The Kings Head), the mixed grill at £10.95 is a must for any meat lovers. All in all a perfectly relaxing holiday we will be booking in for a fortnight next year (we can't wait). Even though we don't have any children of our own the site was very child friendly even with a play area just out side the reception area

Reviewer: Shiraz39 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed here to be close to family who live in Gorleston. We had a friendly greeting upon our late arrival. Site was neatly laid out. Very clean. Plenty of room. Shower block was absolutely fab. (home from home) spotlessly clean / warm with heating / nice pine wood surroundings / fixtures - perfect. Location was good for our needs and we did want to re-book again for 2013 but the were already fully booked on electric pitches for a rally. We will stay here again in the future for our annual family visits. No club house or park (neither of these are important to us any way)

Reviewer: LisaParkinson 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed for 10 nights at this site for our summer holidays. We had a long journey and appreciated the warm welcome that we received upon our arrival. The pitches were a great size, and the grounds were kept immaculately.

Showers and toilet block were always immaculate whatever time of day and the site was safe for our 5 year old to play.

It is a good 10 minute drive into yarmouth and traffic was busy at times so it took longer but the countryside setting of the site was well worth it.

Ideally situated for trips to Norfolk Broads and surrounding area.

We had a fabulous holiday and will definitely stay here again.

 Spent a few days at Rose Farm in our Damon Ultrasport RV. Very welcoming people despite arriving late in a very large vehicle.

Site is really lovely, well kept, clean and tidy. Obviously a lot of effort goes into keeping the standards high here.

Excellent car hire firm recommended who delivered the car to site and picked it up when we were due to go.

We will be returning for a longer stay next year.

Reviewer: Tonymac1988 1 review from this member

 My partner and I joined 2 friends who were already at this site. They extended their stay as the site was so good and invited us down from Leeds.

We joined them for the bank holiday weekend and had a fabulous time. The owners were so welcoming and friendly and the facilities were extremely well kept as were the grounds. The site was very busy but still very quiet on an evening.

Locally there is so much to do and you will definitely be spoilt for choice. Cant wait to visit again and hopefully very soon.

Reviewer: Margedot 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a weeks holiday here. Luckily we had fantastic weather. Could not fault the site - toilets & showers always clean and free. Plenty of hot water, never ran out of loo roll. Never a queue for washing up. We stayed as two families of four with bigger than usual pitches. We were able to pitch side by side and with a gazebo in the middle and parking for two vehicles - no problem. The children's park although small suited our 8 yr old who we did not see much of at all. The milkshakes from the on site shop were a winner for the kids. The beach at Gorleston - about 15 mins away - is a must with free parking and toilets available.

There is a Tesco express hidden away only 2mins from the site. Also would recommend a visit to Great Yarmouth on a Wednesday evening to see the fireworks display on the beach. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again.

Reviewer: M + M 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August.

Mixed views really.

Most of us want a well run site but the owners are constantly monitoring and fussing around to the point where it begins to feel a bit like a military camp. This obviously results in a site in pristine condition and the all important facilities are clean and plentiful.

Bus stop to Gt Yarmouth, a small supermarket and a pub 4 to 5 mins walk from site. Pub is a little run down but has new owners who seemed keen to please. The food was good and it serves Real Ale.

The worst element of the site was the clay pigeon shooting in the next field at 8. 45am on the Sunday morning. Those who have done this will know how loud it is and it goes on for a couple of hours.

We would probably return, but would not stay on a Saturday night.

 We first visited Rose Farm last year after returning to Camping after many years. We were so impressed with the facilities we returned this year. As last year we got a pitch on the main field as you go through the entrance. Plenty of space with friendly neighbours who themselves stated they return year on year. The site is very well maintained with well kept shower/toilet block. 2 bathrooms have been added since last year which gives complete privacy. The site is quiet and is more adult friendly situated in a quiet village. Bus services to Gt Yarmouth or Lowestoft are a short walk away. A pretty walk is to the Roman ruins of Burgh Castle on the bank of the River Yar. We will certainly return.

Reviewer: Team Monkey 19 reviews from this member

 Lovely stay on a lovely site. Highly recommended and would visit again.

We stayed on the large square open field which we thought was the nicest location in terms of space. We could let our toddler roam without worrying. Other pitches were in a narrow line following both sides of the site lane, so we def preferred where we were situated.

For anyone staying in a tent however there was a fabulous area further up, I think there may have been EHU's so far up and then further on it was more like wild camping so great if going out of season with a large group of friends wanting to spread out and make a bit more noise!

Showers were excellent, plentiful and free. Which I think they always should be! In the shower block near our field there was plenty of space for me, my boyfriend and our little boy to share shower times together.
