Reviewer: JanetER74 3 reviews from this member

 This was our first time at the site. It's extremely well maintained and the grounds and pool area are excellent. The shower blocks are a little cramped, there's no seat to put things and its difficult to shower with a child which did make things awkward. Overall though it's extremely good value for money, local area is beautiful with lots of attractions to visit.

On site shop stocks just what you need and we received a very warm welcome on arrival. 


Date of Visit: August 2016 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Cawalker 1 review from this member

 Just come back from a 6 night stay in our opus trailer tent. We stayed on pitch 58 which had electric and was a perfect pitch, plenty of space as we were on the end and it had an area to play behind.

All the pitches were full grass and it was really green lush grass (not sure how they manage to keep it looking so good) the down side was the grass in the awning!

The play area was ok with a climbing frame.

The swimming pool was a great little extra, the life guard looked like she was watching all of the time and even questioned my son to see if he could swim before he went to the deep end!

The shop was well stocked and decent prices too.

The campsite doesn't close its gate at night which was handy as things stayed open till late.

We were welcomed with a pack of leaflets and site rules which was handy.

On arrival you have to leave a 5. 00 deposit for the toilet key. If 1 wasn't enough they said we could get a second but we were fine with 1.

This campsite is in a perfect location.

Now down to the 1 negative. The toilet blocks! Lots of toilets and enough showers but because of the lovely grassy pitches the toilets and showers get dirty very quickly! They are cleaned first thing in the morning but don't stay clean for long and there's no mop and water in order to clean a shower before or after you use it! The showers are also very small and with only hooks on the back of the doors make it very hard for you to shower and dry properly, especially hard when trying to shower a small child!

Overall a really lovely site and although not everyone likes ball games near there pitch it was nice to see our son play with other children whilst we sat at our pitch and watched instead of having to stand and watch in a separate field somewhere!

 Excellent in every aspect. Been camping all over UK since 1966 and this is one of the best I have been on.

Toilet block clean at all times. Although site was very busy, the toilet block always had plenty of availability. Good shop. Site well cared for.

 We have just returned from a fabulous five night break at this campsite with our two daughters. This was our first experience of camping for quite some time and what a fun experience. We had absolutely fantastic weather which I am sure helped us have a great time. This campsite was a wonderful find. Spotless, flat, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a play park, friendly staff, plenty of hot water, shower blocks and toilets plenty too. We met some lovely people and my girls aged 12 and 13 had an absolute ball. It is situated within walking distance of the beach and local amenities. It was peaceful at night and family friendly. Will definitely stay here again. The staff were all so friendly and the pool, well what can we say. Warm and lots of fun with a fully qualified lifeguard too.

 We stayed at Scratby Hall for a weekend in our tent – myself, my husband and our dog.

As soon as you pull in to the site it’s obvious that it’s a very well kept site. We received a really friendly welcome and lots of information including walks for our dog and a nice leaflet pack with details of the site rules (not that there are many of them) and local information.

Pitches are nicely spaced with a mixture of electric and non-electric. We were on an electric pitch at the far end of the site which was perfect for us. Easy to leave the site to take the dog for a quick walk early morning and late at night with walks around open fields.

The toilet and washing up blocks were very clean and it was not an issue at all for us to have a key. One of us always stays with our dog anyway so easy for us to manage. Lots of showers and toilets available. The site was very quiet on the Friday however got a lot busier on the Saturday but no issue with noise or queues at the facilities.

One of the absolutely best features for us was that for our entire stay we didn’t have to use the car. We walked to Scratby where there are a few shops plus chip shop and restaurant. We walked along the beach to the California Tavern. Great dog friendly pub with a good choice of food. We walked to Caister and caught the bus back past Scratby to Hemsby as buses are plentiful along the coast road and we also walked in to Ormesby to The Jolly Farmers pub for a drink.

All-in-all a really fabulous stay on a really lovely, friendly site. We will definitely return.

 Fantastic! Booked this really late as it was a last minute decision which is always a worry. On arrival we were greeted by staff and were soon directed to our pitch. The pitches are large and flat and even with our large 6 man tent which was almost at the 5m max for the standard pitch we had loads of room.

The kids soon found the play equipment, which was all in great condition, and amused themselves while we got set up.

A great location to explore the coast. Throughout our weekend stay even though the site was busy, the showers and toilets were always clean and had a constant supply of really hot water. The pool was great and the lifeguard was present and conscientious. The staff in the shop were really helpful and the shop well stocked.

I can highly recommend the pub down at California Beach for bar meals.

This is a great site at a really reasonable price per night. Highly recommend!

 Just returned from a lovely weekend spent at Scratby Hall. The tent field is looked after very well. We were in a corner under the trees and we had plenty of space. The site was nice and quiet. The toilet block was always clean and not busy. It was just the two of as and the dog, but if you came with children they would enjoy it as there is a nice pool and a playground. The shop is well stocked, just round the corner there is a fresh fish shop which we enjoyed. A little further on there is another shop and down the road to the beach there is a nice chippy and a cafe( lovely cream teas). You can easily get to the beach only a 10 minute walk. Lovely friendly staff would go back again and recommend it.

Reviewer: Sparky69 22 reviews from this member

 Just spent 14 nights on this family friendly site, arrived on the Saturday afternoon following torrential downpours the night before expecting the ground to be saturated, however it was well drained. Was met at reception by a friendly member of staff and directed to our pitch which was sheltered by trees. There are good facilities on the site with a well stocked shop for essentials and ice creams for the kids. Never found an issue with having to use a key for the toilets/showers, as a lot of site we have used employ this method of keeping them secure.

The site has an outdoor pool and kept our 10 year old daughter happy throughout the stay as did the play area. Scratby village is approximately 15 mins steady walk away, where there is the local beach and small amusement arcade.

Dog walking facilities are located outside the site around local byways within the surrounding fields.

The site is ideally placed for touring the coast and Norfolk Broads which in our case was hampered by car trouble but this did not detract from our holiday as we were able to relax and unwind amongst other friendly families (some who have been visiting this site for over 20 years). We booked for 2016 prior to leaving to ensure we did not miss out.

 I have just had a wonderful stay here with my family - 11 of us and a dog. I swam every day in the pool and was pleased to see that safety rules were adhered to and a supervisor always present. Young children were checked to ensure they had adult supervision and could swim. The site was very well kept, and even after 17hours non-stop rain was well drained!

The toilets and washing facilities were always clean and seem to have been checked regularly. The showers are free and the temperature was comfortable. Judging by the amount of time the children spent in the playground I imagine it is satisfactory. Separate area with hot water to prepare food and wash dishes - never had to wait to use these or showers.

The shops was well stocked. And the staff very friendly and helpful. Silence after 11pm was requested. I would definitely go here again

 On arrival we were met with a reassuring smile after a 2 hour drive. Promptly booked in and shown pitch, toilet block etc. Looked clean and tidy, toilets I felt were very clean as were showers. Very hand shop on site. A large superstore in Caister 3 minute drive from camp. Overall a very nice we'll run site.

Only one negative being the key for toilet block.

Reviewer: Mandyh2512 1 review from this member

 Just spent a wonderful relaxing week at Scratby Hall and had a wonderful time. The park itself is impeccably clean and The owner was so helpful. We had a choice of pitches as there were only 2 other campers when we arrived we chose pitch 16 which backed onto farmland however pitches opposite us seemed to get the sun most of the day and evening which would have been better for BBQs so next time we stay we will definitely pick one of those. Our 2 dogs were made most welcome and there are plenty of walks to keep them occupied. The gate in the corner of the field gives you access to miles of walks. Showers were spotless and the grounds itself were constantly being mowed and strinmed. The park is a credit to the owners and we will definitely be costing again. Sad to go home! Only downside was that the shop and laundrette didn't open until the day we left but it didn't dampen our time away at all

Reviewer: Robin91 32 reviews from this member

 Just had 4 nights here. Midweek. Very clean, tidy, quiet. No shop. Only rubbish bins at the top of site. A fair walk. Wet grass cuttings everywhere, in the awning and van. I thought £21 a night a little expensive for this late in the year. Toilets clean, and ok. Site flat, and easy to get to from main road. Fish and chips in Scratby, and chinese just a mile down the road. Yarmouth traffic was busy. Best to turn down past the racecourse and drive along the front into town. 


Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: CLIVE SMITHSON 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from scratby hall and after reading the previous reviews i was a little disappointed. On arrival at the site we booked in and were directed to our pitch only about 15 yards from the reception and entrance, no problem there, we were told to centre our trailer on a post and that was our pitch, but no one it seems had told our neighbours, when our tent was put up, their windbreak was only 4 feet away from us, not only could we hear them, but we could also hear their foul language. And as the grandparents of a 6 year old with speech and learning difficulties, it made it even worse, we didn, t want her learning unwanted new words, not the sites fault, but it does show that the pitches are very small.

The site is kept very clean and tidy by a manager who never stops, like a duracell bunny, she was always busy litter picking or grass cutting, and and always managed to smile and say hello. The site shop was open 8am until 8pm when we arrived, but after the bank holiday the times were changed to only 8. 30 am til 10 am and 2 pm til 4 pm and while the prices were reasonable it did seem to be a drastic change in opening times.

The toilet block was clean and tidy and with 6 toilets and 6 showers there was no waiting, but the showers were on a press button system and the cubicles very small, there was no soap dish or shelf to put any shower gel, and only 2 hooks to hang your clothes on, there was nowhere to keep clothes dry, for me these were the kind of facilities that we found 15 years ago. Things have moved on, people now want cubicles with hand basins, and showers with seats and somewhere to keep clothes dry when we get showered. The biggest problem i had with the toilet block was that it was cleaned every day at 5 am and the cleaner made no attempt to be quiet when he was moving around, dragging his mop bucket and slamming the van doors. The bucket sounded like someone dragging an aquaroll up and down, not what i want to hear at 5 o clock in the morning. The washing up area was indoors with 4 sinks plus 2 for food preperation, clean and tidy, but the water was only warm at the busy times.

The playground was small and well used and my granddaughter really liked it, i cant say more than that.

Although this review is not too good, the site is clean, quiet and tidy, and is well run, my review is a little harsh but the were the things that spoiled it for me, other wise it would be a good site, but i wont be going back. Only 5 minutes away is the east coast restaurant, we used it twice in 3 days, the meals were excellent, reasonably priced and everything was fresh, not frozen. Try it you wont be disappointed

 Enjoyed our week on this well maintained site. Reception friendly and available all the time and shop open from 8 until 8 (very reasonably priced and friendly staff).

Amazing to watch hundreds of jackdaws arrive each evening

And settle in the trees at the end of the site.

Kids play area was in its own enclosed area which worried me as a mum of 2 small kids. Pool looked great but it was to cold to use it when we visited.

Didn't understand why a key was needed to access the toilet blocks. Was a nuisance to have to remember to take the key and sometimes we forgot and had to walk back to get it. The toilet block was modern (only saw the ladies) and was clean but was too spidery for me. Cleaning did not extend to knocking spiders or moths down. Some cobwebs had clearly been there some time. Would have like to have seen soap dispensers and not hand soap.

Dogs were frequently walked on site despite the easy access to surrounding footpaths. This resulted in dogs mess being more noticeable than on other sites I have stayed at.

Would have given 9 out of 10 if it were not for these points.

 Our children (10, 11, 12 & 13) loved it so much last year that they wanted to come back this year. We really love this site, very clean and the pool is a bonus. Children feel safe and the shop is very reasonable.

The site is very well maintained and a great place for families.

We have booked again for next year.
