We enjoyed this site the pitches were ok although levellers will be needed on most pitches on this site and I really wouldn't want to be in a tent on some of the tent pitches (very sloped).
The walk down to the beach though the woods was good and not too long. The swimming pool was fab and at 50p per child and £1 per adult well priced and the older ones (over 8) could go by themselves a big bonus for us.
The toilet blocks were average well cleaned. The club house food was nice and reasonable priced.
The only bad point was the lack of information in the reception, none of them had any idea where to catch the bus to Cromer. We found out from the internet a short walk down to the village and catch the bus from the village green! There is no land train any more though it is still advertised on their web site. Having said that Cromer is not far and if we had not had the Grandparents with us we would have walked or biked.
Just returned from a week at forest park, a day early, as we couldn't bear another night of noise till gone midnight, music from the club house starting at 10. 30pm and constant movement of cars on gravel roads into the early hours, tents with tvs on constantly and people returning with young kids at around midnight and later screaming and shouting with no respect for any other site users.
Apart from that the site is in a lovely location with great forest walks and easy access to beaches and Cromer, with a bit of a walk. There are large areas for kids to play but they did seem to double as car access to pitches so moving cars always seemed to be close to playing children. There are several play areas for children with swings, slides, climbing frames.
The facilities were always clean, but always seemed to be closed for cleaning when everyone wanted to use them. It would have been helpful to have the closed for cleaning times on the toilet blocks. The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced and the pool was good when not too busy. (there is a small charge)
We were lucky to have a good size and level pitch with hook up as a lot of the pitches were on very sloping ground.
We have been visiting this campsite for many years, but this was the first year we have visited with our touring caravan and to be honest it exceeded our expectations.
The staff were very friendly and efficient on arrival and we were directed to a really nice pitch.
Despite it being the school holidays the site was suprisingly quiet and we had no problems with any noise.
Toilets and showers were absolutely spotless and were cleaned at least 3 times a day. The shop stocks all the essentials at reasonable prices and the clubhouse served good food. There are several small playgrounds dotted around the site with a larger one just outside the clubhouse / swimming pool.
We didn't use the on-site swimming pool, but it always seemed popular. We went a few miles down the road to Splash in Sheringham where they have a lovely tropical pool with a wave machine that the kids love.
Overall this is a lovely campsite with good facilities and we will be returning yet again next year.
Only our second ever camping trip but had a fantastic time.
Arrived 21st July and as the forecast promised to be so good immediately asked if we could book an extra night. Reception staff very helpful and friendly.
Our tent pitch was on the second tent field just behind the toilets slightly sloped but nothing major. I had been told 'sardines' came to mind when I asked for peoples opinions of this site but we found our tent pitch more than ample. Lots of space around. Maybe our horizon 6 and windbreak isnt as big as some tents. Must say some peoples tent resemble mansions they are so large. Lots of kids on site but no bother happy playing with footballs and bats and balls. Not a problem to me just kids doing what kids should do. All well behaved in the main.
Toilets and showers were absolutely fine. My teenage daughter is a bit OCD about toilets and showers but coped very well with them. In fact her only problem was that they always seemed to be cleaning them when she wanted to use them. I think they must have been cleaned a minimum of 3 times a day. Yes the shower cublicle floors did get a bit wet and perhaps a mop in the block would be useful but on the whole the showers were clean and hot.
Loveley walk into Cromer and also walked into Northrepps to visit the local pub. Didnt eat there but food looked good and prices reasonable. Again very friendly landlord and staff.
Clubhouse served reasonable priced food and beer and portions were ample. Only used it a few times but staff were always extremely friendly.
Camp shop sold almost everything you could think of and again prices weren't a rip off. Again shop staff very friendly and helpful. Ice blocks frozen for 20p per block ( a must in the weather we had).
All in all a very enjoyable experience at Forest Park and would definitely go again.
Plenty to do on the site from lovely walks, a great indoor swimming pool plus clubhouse.
Well stocked shop where you can get some hot chocolate croissants in the morning for your breakfast, [not to be missed] plus fresh jacket potatoes through the day.
The Clubhouse serves very reasonably priced food and drink, coffee at £1 a mug.
In reference to previous comments on the toilet blocks we found them to be exceptionally clean, in fact we noticed that they were cleaned at least three times a day.
Well done to the very friendly and helpful staff where we will be back again in September.
My first camping experience since I was in the Guides, which is a very long time ago!
It was a generally positive experience, in spite of the torrential rain we had when staying there. The site is very attractive, it didn't flood, and the nearest toilet/shower block was nice and warm and clean, which was a godsend when everything felt damp and chilly. The block also had washers, dryers, and some washing up sinks and drainers with hot water.
The pitch (extra large) was level, nice and spacious with plenty of room between tents - no feelings of being overcrowded. Nice shop with reasonable prices. The pool looked nice, but we didn't use it as we were only there for a short break.
We had one meal outside the restaurant, which was ok. We didn't go in the bar as we had a dog with us, and they are not allowed in. The staff were friendly enough, and the site is beautiful and peaceful - most of the time.
Location is excellent for access to Cromer and Overstrand. The dog-friendly beaches were not far from the main beaches, and must recommend Giovanni's Pub in Cromer, which is child and dog friendly, with views of the sea, and in Overstrand, the Cliff Top Cafe, which is dog-friendly, serves huge portions and has a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the sea. The beach there is sandy and unspoilt, but as others have said, check the tide times.
Gripes -
Night-time noise from vehicles driving around the park. Don't know who they were! Daytime was very peaceful.
Park maintenance people insisted on using a petrol strimmer to cut the grass between the guy ropes on our tent!
As others have said, some of the pitches look alarmingly sloping, but ours was flat.
Er. That's it for gripes really!
Excellent, relaxed site, nice people, convenient for Cromer and Overstrand, and will definitely return.
Park set in a stunning location!woodland walks are a must with acess from them to overstrand with beautiful beach which you can walk down to cromer.
Clubhouse nice with very friendly bar staff.
Didn't use the swimming pool but that looked nice too.
Shop seemed reasonable but didn't buy anything just had a look round was open till 9pm I think.
Showers in the block near us were out dated and poor, floor was wet through and water was not draining properly and they were only cleaned once a day and not cleaned at all on the bank holiday Monday! The other block we used was much more modern and dry with under floor heating too, so my advice would be to look around all the blocks when you get there!.
Pitches are mostly all sloped and have never seen so many levelling devices used in one go!ours was touching the grass at the front and had legs fully down with a chocks under one side at the back which made me quite nervous as there was a caravan at the back of us.
All in all not a bad site and would probably go back but not as a first choice.
We have just come home from a very nice weekend in Cromer. The campsite staff were very friendly. We ate in the club house and decided to go for the special of the day, it was delicious and homemade. The drinks were very reasonable too. The whole site was spotless and the shower blocks were heated. Mainly we chose this site as it was in walking distance to town. We didn't try the swimming pool, but we looked in and it was very warm in there too. A lot of the pitches are on a slight slope. Our group had 2 campervans and a tent and didn't find it a problem. This was one of the best campsites we have stayed on and will be returning soon.
Just returned from a wet Easter at Forest Park. However the poor weather did not spoil our excellent 6 day break.
As mentioned most of the grassed pitches are sloped. However they are well spaced. We went with a couple of motorhome owners and were pitched between them at near the reception and shop. Our pitches were relatively level with an excellent view over the site.
Several statics on site.
Toilet block was OK and cleaned a couple of times a day - 06. 30 on Easter Sunday morning! Showers were always hot when I used them, but I am an early riser. One of my friends never had a hot shower but getting to the showers at 10.00 was probably the reason why.
Lots of good walks around the park and plenty of forest for the children to explore and play.
We were surprised how quiet the site was considering it was heaving over the weekend.
Entertainment laid on for the children. A decent size swimming pool. Reasonably priced bar also serving food. Excellent well stocked shop - lovely sausages.
Friendly helpful staff. We were not hurried to leave the site.
Would return and recommend you consider this site if visiting North Norfolk.
We ventured to Cromer on Aug Bank holiday weekend, fortunately the traffic wasn't as bad as we anticipated. The campsite was full and because we booked rather late on, my daughter and her party (in a tent) were quite a distance from us.
The site is well maintained, shower/toilet blocks modern and cleaned every day. On site staff very helpful and friendly. Childrens play areas are 'dotted' around the site. There are children's activities throughout the summer.
There's a swimming pool, bar, small amusement arcade, covered pool table and a well stocked shop for those little necessities. The only drawback is that this site is on a slope and us being novices to caravanning. Lol!, found it a little awkward.
Cromer is a very beautiful town full of old world charm, very uncommercial, not a place to go if you want arcades or amusement parks, so is Sheringham just a couple of miles further along the coast. The beaches in Sheringham are beautiful, our two dogs loved it!
I would definitely go to Forest Park again and recommend it to all my friends
We found ourselves in the overflow site which meant we had a fantastic flat site (unlike in the main campsite). However the facilities were less acceptable the showers were very small and lacking water pressure. The washing up sinks lacked hot water. The facilities were cleaned every day.
There were not enough bins so even though they were emptied regularly they were often over full.
There was no facilities for children to play on this part of the park and a road had to be crossed to get to the good facilities.
Having paid a premium for swimming pool and good facilities I felt let down by the fact they charged extra to use the pool and the overflow was just a field with very basic facilities.
There was no opportunity to freeze ice blocks for the coolbox.
Over all my experience was one of staying on a good basic campsite with a lovely view of corn fields and beautiful sunsets.
We read some poor reviews for this site after booking. There was a small group of three tents with us and apart from a slightly uneven pitch we all had a great time.
The showers were clean, the shop well stocked and not badly priced and the food in the restaurant looked good with decent portions.
The setting is really excellent and even with a fairly full site the noise wasn't any problem.
The location of the site is excellent as a base to explore the delights of Norfolk. Having to pay for the pool is a bit of a gripe but I would definitely go back there, soon.
This is probably one of the best all round large family sites in the immediate area, although it may have some areas which could do with improvement, it still ticks many of the right boxes for a family.
Location - Situated in woodland, just south east of Cromer.
Pitches - Most pitches here are on a major slope and pitching can be difficult in some places. Most pitches have electric hookup well within reach, Water points are dotted around, waste water disposal is located on the WC blocks
Toilets / Showers - the site has 3 toilet / shower blocks all have locked doors requiring a swipe card to enter, 1 of which is modern and upto date, the the other 2 are slightly older but functional, all are kept reasonably clean.
My only complaint is the randomness with water pressure, water temperature, door locks, lighting & heating work, I am not joking when I say the water was any where from near scolding to freezing or the water pressure was anything from a dribble to a fire hose effect, the lighting, door locks & heating also had a mind of there own.
Facilities - There is a well stocked shop, out door washing up areas & a laundry facility
Children’s Entertainment - There are plenty of small parks dotted about, a swimming pool available for a small charge, a small amusement arcade, miles of woods to walk in
Staff - OK.
WI-FI - Free WI-FI is available around the bar area
Bar / Food - The bar serves reasonable food and drink, has a small arcade & pool table, they had several entertainers during the bank holidays
TV Reception - Pretty poor, we managed to get 3 channels in analog, but no chance of digital at the moment
Fishing - Nothing on site, but Cromer pier, Salt House & Weybourne all offer good sea fishing venues
Out & About - Cromer is a great day out if its sunny, with lashings of sandy beach, A superb pier, a small town center, small fun fair (for the kids), cinemas, museums & super markets.
Just down the road is Sherringham with its beautiful steam trains and lovely beaches, a great Saturday market and reasonable town center
We spent two nights in a tent here last weekend in April with friends. I agree that the site is rather sloppy but we were lucky in the fact we were on pitches 35,36 & 37 which were on the flat part. My main gripe about the site was we were originally booked on the off site overflow part which was not made clear to us .It was more like a cows field with two portor loos! However, a couple weeks before our stay we visited to have a look round and the staff soon changed our booking to the on site part with a little bit of complaining and we got the electric for free!
The site itself other than toilets being a little rundown and dirty was perfectly fine for a short stay. A tip for you. We bathed the baby in the laundry sinks though as showers were very hot and not really clean enough to put the baby into!
The swipe cards (to get in and out of toilets) played up a bit but there was always someone around to help you out and let you in!
Although it was not a problem for us personally please be aware that at night time this site can be extremely noisy but most campsites are!
The pool was great, indoor and reasonable size. Bar/food area was good, although we did not use it other than for one night when we ate there. Regular pub food, reasonable prices but as others have said it is small portions. There is a small arcades room with the 2p machines, car and dance games etc. Even a little mini bar for the kids that sells drinks and sweets! On-site shop that sells papers etc too.
Overall I would probably go back because of the facilities that are available!
