This was our first family camping adventure and we had a really lovely time here.
The site is extremely child friendly and feels very safe for your children to roam about. There is a small play area ideal for smaller children, although not much for t he older ones, not a problem for us.
The whole site was very neat and tidy and there was plenty of space for our giant tent. Everything was in very close distance without being too noisy.
The pool was clean and manned by a lifeguard, excellent touch, water seemed lovely and warm too.
Shop had everything you needed and you are able to freeze your ice packs for 25p each and charge mobiles for 50p a time, seemed reasonable to me.
Although this site does not allow campfires they do allow bbqs, I could not find this information before our arrival but was happy to be able to use our disposable one on some bricks they provided after finding out.
My only negative and it did not effect my stay was the toilets although cleaned daily could do with a thorough going over, there were several cobwebs in the windows and on the windowsills that had clearly been there a time and some very hairy plug holes in the sinks. However showers were clean and hot and a handy feature for me personally having smaller children is the shower hose does come down which makes it a lot easier trying to clean a child who won't stand directly under a shower.
Would definitely return here in the future but now I've got the camping bug am keen to explore other areas also.
Great site, have been here many times, pool open in 6 week school holidays only, shop has basic needs, nice safe site for the kids, with there own play area, would not bother with premium pitch again, would of needed 8 meter water & grey pipe to reach outlets.
We have just returned from 4 nights here over the Easter weekend. The site was pleasant to look at, well kept, tidy and spacious. The welcome in the reception was very friendly, our pitch was shown to us on a map and we paid £5 deposit for a key to the toilet block, were given a black sack for rubbish - a nice touch, and were set up in no time.
The site was quiet and peaceful despite being reasonably busy. We did back onto a road but it was a very quiet road and didn't disturb us at all. Our 9 year old daughter loved pedalling her bike around the site and it felt very safe. She also enjoyed the play area which whilst not large, kept her entertained for long enough. We did pay the £2 per day (per device) for internet connection and while I would rather it was free (of course) it wasn't extortionate either. The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced and open all day.
The area was excellent for what we needed with Great Yarmouth only 10 minutes away (traffic permitting) beaches, dog racing, Bewilderwood, boat hire on the broads were all within easy driving distance. I didn't personally use the toilet/shower block but my husband informed me they were 'ok' clean but a little on the small side. I feel the £25 per night for a super pitch was maybe a little on the high side but would happily pay it again to return when the pool was open as I feel the benefit of that would then justify the cost.
Just returned from an overnight stay at Scratby Hall - we wanted to see the sea! Really pleased we chose the site - definitely a great find.
1. Booking really easy - spoke to Caroline who was really helpful and I have to add the site was excellent value for money
2. When we arrived we got a great welcome, our pitch was big, level, and not crowded. We paid a £5 deposit for a key to the facilities - great idea as it means that young children need to be supervised and are not running in and out of the toilets and making a mess - a problem on some other sites.
3. A well stocked shop with pretty much everything you need - and all at reasonable prices as far as I could see. You can even get a coffee and a Hot Chocolate!
4. Its about a 10 minute walk to a lovely sandy (and at this time of year, quiet) beach.
5. The signs on the site request quiet after 10pm and silence after 11pm - our experience was it was pretty much silent after about 9. 30pm
All in all a really lovely site which we'll definitely go back to - for longer next time
Loved it. Staff friendly shown to our pitch rather then it being pointed to us on a site map big pitches shop great fresh produce and ok prices. Pool a big hit with kids park ok for 5yr old not so great for 11yr old maybe get a basketball/netball hoop for the older kids. Toilets/showers clean had toilet roll soap but having a shower was a joke the water went everywhere but on you and they were fixed heads all the showers were the same. Location was great not to far from anything had some great days out if you get the chance go to bewilderwood its a forest were big and little kids can have fun climbing sliding rope swings tunnels FAB
We recently spent 5 nights here as a last minute break with two adults and 4 children. The site managed to squeeze us in. The site is a very well maintained site with within close proximity. The toilets and showers were very clean and well kept. The only thing is that the water was rather hot, (rather that then too cold!) There is a key system in place for the toilets for which you leave a £5 deposit on arrival, this is ok if there are only two of you but can get awkward if there are more.
The shop is reasonably priced Ice lollies for the children were 60p which I thought was very good. The launderette was good value too.
The main reason we stayed here was for the pool. The kids spent most of their time there, it was supervised by a lifeguard and clean. A real bonus on the hot days. The site is quiet at nights but child friendly during the days with a small play park and space to play. The pitches are all level and well maintained.
Overall this site is very well managed, staff are lovely and its great value. We would recommend it.
Just returned from a 5 night stay on a non electric pitch (2 adults and 3 kids). Found the site to be very good overall. Was nice and quiet for the most part at night although I would camp further away from the ball games and park area next time as the teenagers tended to sit right outside the back of our tent at night until about 10 (not a fault of the site though).
Only negatives I could say about our stay were the following:
Showers whilst nice and hot are very very weak. Our home shower is bad due to low water pressure but it feels likes a power shower in contrast.
Half the pool was closed for a day and a half of our stay and then fully closed for a further day and a half after that. This was for maintenance reasons but seeing as use of the pool was a big selling point for us, this was a little annoying.
My wife found ladies toilet block to be a bit dirtier than expected. I personally thought mens were fine.
For reference I used Bude Meadows as our benchmark as that was an excellent site. This was also very good but not quite as good.
Shop was good and well priced and people at reception were very friendly and helpful.
For things to do we went to the beach at Caister one day. Beach was ok but centre is chav central. Good for kids though (ie go karts and arcades).
Also went on 55 minute drive north to Sheringham on 2 days and this is a very nice sea side village (feels like Cornwall). Beach is all rocks but when tide is out the sand is very nice and great for sand castle building. Also found water clearer than at Caister.
Eating wise we used a chip shop one day in Caister on Beach Road which was very good and also ate out at a pub called the Castle at Caister (Carvery place opposite Lidl). This was very nice and well priced and I would certainly go back there again.
So overall a great park and I would certainly go there again.
Had to accept the last pitch facing the entrance, however that was my luck. Decent site made better by an outdoor heated pool. Play area is very basic as are the showers, they are warm but spray everywhere. On site shop was fine. Very good base to explore the area with some cracking beaches. The use of a key for the toilets/showers is a strange one. Accept dogs on site, reception always attended. Good flat pitches with plenty of space.
We have just come back from Scratby Hall Caravan Park after a long weekend. We had a fantastic time. The camp was well maintained and very clean, with good sized flat & fully serviced pitches. The reception staff were very friendly and very helpful, so also were the other campers. The facilities were great, the shop had everything necessary and a bit more and the prices were very good. There is also a launderette which we didn't actually use as we were only there for the weekend but handy if you were there for a longer period. The showers and toilets were lovely and clean and there were plenty of them.
Our son enjoyed playing on the play equipment although it was a bit basic. The camp also had it's own swimming pool but unfortunately it opened the weekend after our stay so we were unable to use it.
The camp was well based, only 10mins away from Gt Yarmouth, with Hemsby, Scratby Beach & Caister only a few mins away. All in all a lovely camp & a great base to explore South & East Norfolk we'd definitely use it again.
This was the first time I have ever camped. I came here with my three children and partner who camps often.
We were extremely pleased with our stay here. The site and facilities were beautiful and clean and the staff very helpful. We can't fault the place at all.
We came to this area to visit the Sea Life centre in Great Yarmouth (don't bother) and play on a non-commercial beach (Scratby - brilliant) so this site was perfect.
We also felt that the site was very reasonably priced. We have booked a pitch at another site in another part of the country for the end of this month and it has cost us twice the price and probably won't be half as nice.
We have just returned from Scratby Hall caravan site.
The site is a beautiful level site, that benefits from a shop, launderette, heated swimming pool. Upon arrival we were issued with a key for the toilets. This one key was to do for our family of four. We found this rather inconvenient as one of us may have wanted to go to the toilet whilst another member of the family was already there. We have never stayed anywhere before with this system. On the Thursday of the first week our son went to the toilet block, went into the toilets and left the key on the side of the sink while he went inside the toilet, when he came out it was gone. Whilst we realise this wasn't the campsite owners fault we felt that had a keypad system this would have eradicated this from happening. We were then faced with the rest of our holiday wondering who had taken our key. Obviously someone who wanted a spare key and didn't want to pay for one.
The toilets were rather grubby and dirty and wanted a good clean. I went for a shower one day and thought there was a rather odd smell, and upon closer inspection but not that close, found that what I thought was a leaf was in fact faeces. Again this is the other campers who tend to leave the showers obviously not as they would like to find them, I complained about it and to be fair it was cleaned up.
The bin in the washing up area was caked in dried up food that had obviously been like that for a while. I ended up cleaning it only to find it was as bad again the day after. Why can campers not clean up after themselves? And leave it as they would wish to find it.
Needless to say we won't be returning, and the key never did turn up!
The owner worked so hard to mow the pitches and keep the grass trimmed when pitches were vacated.
I have tried to be positive about the site where credit is due and not moan too much.
An extremely friendly all grass site about a mile or so from the beach. Site and toilets/showers very clean though found the shower cubicles a touch too small, on site shop sold basics only, for anything more walk 200 yds down the main road where there is a Premium supermarket attached to a garden centre selling everything as well as booze. Along the side road after the supermarket is the nearest bus stop to Great Yarmouth(details from reception). Nearest village Ormesby St Margaret can be walked to over the fields via a public footpath.
We booked at short notice as the forecast was good, and the lady on reception was very helpful over the phone. The site was easy to find (sign posted from the Caister by-pass), and a friendly welcome given at reception.
We were given a 'super' pitch around the edge of the site to be near some friend. The pitch was very wide and level, and had a service point with electrics, water and drain. Pitches in the central camping area were still grassy (good considering it was post summer holidays), although not all were big - our friends had very close neighbours.
The shower block was cleaned regularly, with plenty of showers and toilets. The kids play area was suitable for younger kids - our 6 year old made a friend there and they seemed to use it to sit on and chat. The pool was shut when we were there.
The on site shop was well stocked with camping spares, but running stock down food wise - although still had the essentials. There was another shop nearby open until midnight which had a larger range of food and drink (I think they classed it as Scratby Garden Centre - had a pet shop and other supplies as well).
Everyone on site was friendly, plenty of people to chat to / willing to chat. It was also one of the quietest sites later in the evening - silent after 11pm, except for the local wildlife and a nearby donkey!
We visited Great Yarmouth and Hemsby - both easy to drive to. We paid an extra £5 for a late check out - allowing us to leave the tent pitched until 5pm which was handy.
Some of the flying insects resulted in nasty bites - I had 4 on the first evening which required antihistamines to calm them down. Go prepared if you react.
All in all a great find for us, and one we will visit again for weekends near the sea.
Really pleased we read the reviews on this website - the site is EXCELLENT!
We WILL continue to recommend the site to friends and family and we WILL return when in Norfolk next. Many people we spoke to were regular visitors over a number of years.
The grounds are lovingly tended, everything is tidy and clean, the grass is immaculate - (bowling green standard!). The toilet/ shower blocks are ample, the water is hot and the blocks are kept clean and nice -( lots of loos but not as many showers ).
The pitches are very spacious and a super pitch is well worth the extra few quid to get a plot along the edges with electricity etc.
The swimming pool is well supervised with lifeguards and is a respectable size - nicely sheltered too, with sunbeds - and nicely warm if the sun has been on it - otherwise tolerable.
Kids playpark very well kept, roadways safe for kids to cycle. Ample dog walking opportunities around fields (although some people seemed to expect a manicured park to be attached, to walk their dogs in - not sure why - it's the country side!)
The ladies in the reception are exceptionally helpful (gave lots of advice on pubs, takeaways, beaches etc). The little shop has quite a good selection of camping accessories and essential groceries - as well as fresh bread daily(?), ice cream etc (no booze. )There is a launderette.
The site doesn't have a clubhouse/ bar but who needs that! The village of Ormesby st margaret nearby has a proper pub, and other amenities. There is a local butcher, fishmonger, corner shop etc close by & supermarkets within 10 mins.
Beach at scratby is walkable in about 20 mins.
Beach at Winterton on sea 5 miles away - delightful! Give Hemsby/Newport a miss. Very commercialised (Chavsville)- if it's that sort of thing you like, you won't like Scratby Hall.
