 We arrived for our 1 night stay in one of 2 pre-erected tents. Check in reception/shop was clean and shop looked well stocked. We were met by the owner who was very welcoming and Friendly. He showed us to our tent which was in a very clean well keep field, which had a couple of swings and a small goal post.
The tent itself was very well equipped with all that you would need for your stay. There were two bedrooms one with a proper Double bed! and the other with two foam mattresses on the floor for children. There was another fold-up bed, as well as chairs for outside the tent. The tent floor had a carpet which helped keep it slightly warmer as well as a small Fan heater, which is an essential on colder nights. The table was set out for us on arrival. They were having problems with their drinking water when we arrived, however we were supplied with enough drinking water for our stay. We were close to the shower block which had 2 showers in each. The shower block very clean.
Only comment would be is a toaster in the tent would be handy. ( We did mention this but the owner said the electricity Voltage was not high enough), also could do with bigger play area for guests that stay for a longer period, maybe a sign in the village directing people to Park farm maybe helpful. Other than that an excellent night. Thanks

My new favourite local site. Derek is very helpful - both when answering enquiries on the phone, with booking and at the site. Great, simple booking service on line (paypal req to pay deposit).
Site is obviously cared for, winter price on the pitch was very reasonable, no charge for an extra car, and just £1 for doggies. The kids swimming pool was a lovely bonus. Firepits are more pricey at £15 with a bag of logs - but come with kindling etc and Derek was on hand to fan the flames if required!
Just a couple of swings for playing on - so could do with a little more play equipment - but the kids enjoyed playing with the tyres provided (all clean!) Very safe site for children.
Loads of space - not at all the feeling of being packed in you get at other sites.
Clean loos, and the Family room around the back of the toilet block is excellent.
Onsite shop is fabulous as they manage to have everything you could possibly need on just a few shelves, a fridge and a freezer! Even down to individual citronella tea light candles for 15p!
Nice walk map provided - though be warned the walk is a bit nettly and does include walking through 3 fields of cows - some 'cow's are very big and with horns!
Bit of noise from the wedding being held next door which could have been a problem - but we all slept.

What a fab site, lovely rural setting.
The owner and his wife make you feel very welcome and go out of their way to help.
Pitches are a good size.
The village is only about a mile away and has butchers, village shop and pub. The site has a small shop on site.
Lots of space for the kids to play, although a bit too cold for the small above ground pool !
Facilities are good, lots of hot water.
Here is my only gripe - pity there aren't a couple more showers and toilets. It would also be nice if fellow campers heeded Derek's signage and swept up grass and mud when using the shower/toilet blocks.
Will definitely be heading back.

Just returned from a fantastic week at Park Farm. We were greeted by the owner on arrival and shown to our huge plot.
The site was incredible, all plots we around a large central field with no pitches in the middle. Toilet/ shower block was very clean and well maintained and had the bonus of a family shower room.
We were a group of 6 children and four adults, the four adults were able to relax in the knowledge that the kids could run around and play in complete safety.
Whilst I write this review my wife is booking for next year!

This review is a catch 22, one of the nice things about park farm is that on the two visits we have made there is the fact that it is not over run. It’s a good size site and well laid out with good space for most big tents,
The catch 22 is that as you can see that the site has top reviews and maybe every man and his dog (they are allowed) will want to sample its delights.
As others have said the owners will do all they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible,
The local area is great for walking and there are lots of places for the children to burn off lots of energy and some really nice ale and food at the local pub.
Roll on next year when we will return with our friends for our annual fix of Park Farm.

Excellent campsite!
Really relaxed atmosphere but well looked after and with clean facilities.
Derek was great and even helped us set up as we were first time caravanners.
The firepits are wonderful and it was lovely to sit out around them at night.
The only slight negative I can think of is that the showers were a bit too hot and didn't stay on for long enough, but that really is just a minor issue and the facilities were very good.
We were initially planning to move on half way through our holiday but we liked it so much there that we stayed the full 9 nights.
We would love to return sometime!

I'm sat here writing this review whilst still camping at Park Farm Camping, using the campsite's free WIFI connection, and I agree with all previous comments on how good this site is.
We are half-way through our 6 night stay here and cannot fault anything. Clean hot free showers, including family shower room, large pitch sizes and little shop if you forget anything, although we haven't needed to use it but handy to know it's there. Derek and his wife are very approachable and friendly (and the little doggy!).
A new addition to the site this week is an inflatable swimming pool which we haven't used as we didn't bring any swimming gear with us, but the children who were using it looked like they were having fun.
Lots of things nearby all within an hour's drive. Cromer, Sandringham, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk Broards and Newmarket Racecourse (we're going there tomorrow!).
If you are thinking of going into Norwich, consider using the Park & Ride Costessey, NR9 3LX
The return tickets cost £2. 40 for an adult but that allows you to take up to 4 children - the 'Group Saver Return' ticket for £4. 20 up to 5 adults or children. Cheaper than trying to find parking in Norwich!

Fantastic campsite! We stayed for 5 nights and the toilet/shower block was always clean, plenty of room between pitches, friendly helpful owners & a little shop with everything you need!
You can get a firepit and just have to pay for the wood which lasted us four nights! There's free wifi at the campsite which was really handy.
There are some swings and plenty of space for play if you have children.
Swanton Morley has a shop, butchers, deli & pub & the surrounding villages are beautiful, great for bike rides.
The nearest beaches are about a 40 minute drive but it's worth being a little further out and having extra space & excellent facilities.
We couldn't fault it and would definitely return

Fantastic holiday, this site is better than last year. Derek and his wife made us feel very welcome, they even have things to keep the kids entertained.
We wanted to move pitches and Derek helped us with this, if fact he went out of his way to help.
There is even a small shop in the reception so you don't need to go off site.
We had a fab holiday.
Clean facilities too and showers hot and free.
Great walks on farm land not too far from village.
To top it all the weather was good to us. Great campsite cant wait to go again

Second visit to the site and as good as it was last year. Amenities block still kept clean. Campfire now done one night a week but still great for toasting marshmallows on.
Site quiet by 11pm, still weddings next door at the weekend but noise not as bad as last year.
Cafe now closed but little shop on site selling basics. Really good value for money for EHU.
Site manager on site, really helpful and polite. Would come back again.

Just came back from a family holiday of 7 pitches, and what a fantastic time we all had. I have been camping over 40 years and this has to be one of the best I have stayed on.
Derek and julie who run the site are superb, nothing is too much. They are so helpful and great with the kids, the pitches are very large, the toilets and showers immaculate, and there is also a family room.
There is a swing for the children and loads of space for the children to play in, fire pits are available and derek delivers logs to your pitch, there is a small shop on site which sells milk etc and sweets (marsh mellows)for the fire
locally 2 mins away is a nice pub and a shop which sells just about everything. This is the first time I have been there but I will definitely be returning,

We stayed just 2 nights at this campsite as we were guests at a wedding in the adjacent Hunters Hall complex (which is a fabulous location for a wedding ceremony and/or reception with rooms for guests to stay overnight and have breakfast in the morning!)
On this particular weekend they had 3 weddings on the Fri, Sat and Sun, so really busy. The complex is away from the campsite so shouldn't interfere with the relaxing atmosphere of the site.
Hunters Hall is also a working farm with cattle and at this time of time of year, were busy harvesting, so small children must be supervised so as not to stray out of the site and onto to farm drive.
Having said all that, the site is lovely with level large pitches. EHUs' on one half, and a larger field without. There are also tepee type tents for hire and apparently you can request them to be erected anywhere on site.
At the little 'hut' at the entrance there is now essential provisions to purchase and I also noticed a card in the window telling you the Wi-Fi access code so that must be available too.
It also states that you can hire Firepits and logs so you can have a campfire if you want!
The shower rooms were clean and warm and the hot showers were free!
As it said in a previous review, cut grass can cause a problem with the shower drain becoming blocked with grass clippings, but so easily overcome by wiping your feet on the mats now provided and there is also a long handled brush and dustpan for you to sweep up your own grass clippings should you take any in with you.
The campsite manager is also very willing to deal with that should you tell him. He lives on the site and is very happy to help you with anything you need.
All in all, a lovely unspoilt campsite especially for families with young children as there is loads of space for them to run and play ball games away from the caravans.
As we are older, we tend to choose adult only sites these days and as I said before, we were there for a wedding, but we had a lovely time and will come back perhaps out of school holiday time.
When the grandchildren are a bit older we may well bring them here as its not too far from our home but far enough that you could be anywhere.

My husband and I have just returned from a lovely weekend break at Park Farm Camping with our two dogs. We had a very friendly welcome on arrival. The area was clean and well kept.
The toilet and shower block were clean and well maintained, ( always plenty of loo roll for us girls ) hot water was available day and night and free to use.
We will definitely be staying again and recommending to others.

Having read positive reviews on this website we have just returned from a week's stay at this lovely, unspoilt site.
As a middle-aged couple our requirements are few - EHU, a decent shower block and good washing up facilities. This site delivered on all three. It was Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend and the site was busy but I rarely had to wait long for my morning shower. The shower block was always warm (which was good because the temperatures outside definitely weren't) and the water was always fabulously hot!
The block was cleaned daily but it was just a shame that other campers didn't make the effort to keep it that way! One recurring problem was poor drainage in the shower cubicles caused by grass clippings being walked in and clogging up the drain holes. If the warden was told about the problem he would always come and clear it but 'crocs' were an absolute must at shower time.
Although the site is accessed by narrow country lanes it means that there is no chance of passing traffic and a peaceful night's sleep is guaranteed. We made ample use of the excellent 'Darby's' pub to which we would normally have walked but a recent Total Knee Replacement meant we were heavily dependent on our car. We were happy to find 2 major supermarket chains represented in nearby Dereham and we used these to stock up as and when we passed by.
Compliments to the warden who works tirelessly to make sure everybody is happy. I would not wish to see this site 'developed' further. The pitches are on well-drained grass, beautifully flat and a good size with electric and water very easily accessible. There is plenty of space for children to play and be creative without disturbing others. I definitely recommend Park Farm Camping and would happily return.

Fantastic site. Nice and open with a small play area for children. No passing traffic so they are able to play safely. Ball games, kites etc allowed. Staff are really helpful and can't do enough for you, even offered to go and get some potatoes for our dinner!
Great facilities very clean and a nice big family room, the washing up area is outside which can be a bit midgy in the evening. Really nice walks to go on with the dog and is a beautiful area to take the bikes.
The village has the most amazing butchers and a small store. There is a pub called Darby's (we did not go there ourselves but others on the site and people we know have been there and recommend the food etc)
Dereham is the nearest town and has all the main shops, a massive Tesco with garage. Gressenhall Museum which was an old work house is close by and highly recommend this for children of all ages as they have a working farm, play area and hold lots of events.
For younger children The Dinosaur Park is worth a trip.
This was our first visit to Park Farm, but others in our party have camped here several times before. We are going back in August.
