Our first visit to deers glade and norfolk, what a great site and big pitches and lovely countryside, there is a shop on site selling food stuff and bits of camping goods, facilities are very good and clean. The shop freezes your ice blocks for 50p per bag per day. We have found the staff jolly and helpful. For the children there is a playground and animal enclosure and a communal seating area near the shop with benches and big tarps covering the area. The village of roughton has a garage that sells allsorts and also a chip shop and local pub. Take the felbrig hall road and this takes you into cromer with morrisons, argos, lidl on the way in 15 minute drive. They have wooden pods on site which are very popular with their own bbq area and chimeneas in the woods and also a fishing pond for anglers. The ground is a bit hard so rock pegs recommended and found the shop a bit pricey on some things. But what a great site well done deers glade. We will be having another stay here as there is so much to see in this area.
A five star site with excellent and modern facilities with a reasonably spacious layout between pitches.
For bigger units the approach is wide and easily accessible but for units with inboard tanks the lack of water connections on the pitches and awkward chemical dumps did make it more problematical. The owner told me he is planning to install a drive-over ground level dump which will improve matters greatly - hope he gets round to fitting water supplies on pitches for fifth wheels and American motorhomes.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and when the wi-fi connections failed they allowed emergency use of a plug-in alternative at reception.
Sadly the need to make business use of the wi-fi forced us to cut short our stay and although they refunded the £3 internet charge they did not offer a refund on our lost day.
The surrounding walks are perfect for dog owners and the easy access to the the Northern Norfolk coastline made it a memorable visit.
Just back from a 3 night break at this lovely site was greeted by extremely friendly staff who showed us where we were pitched and where everything was and was told that the gates shut at 11pm and opens at 7am but in an emergency instructions was put on reception door.
Site was spotless as was all amenities, two toilet blocks, one at each end of site housing ladies, gents, disabled/family room and launderette.
Pitch was huge could of got two campervans and a great big tent on it, own electric, tv and water point.
Fishing lake on site which we used but we only caught little rudd, little perch, a skimmer bream although we did see a fair size carp caught by a young lad, and a 2lb bream caught by a young girl much to her dads dismay. Lake was extremely weedy shame as it could be a great fishery.
Excellent fish and chip shop at roughton and very reasonable, highly recommend.
If you want total relaxation in a peaceful location then this site is for you.
Please be aware you may experience loss of mobile signal so if your mobile is important take note, apart from that we had a cracking break.
Thanks to all the staff at deers glade for an memorable trip.
We visited this site during the May bank holiday weekend and it has to be one of the best if not THE best site we have visited.
The welcome was good with no long list of rules, which makes a pleasant change. We were camping with two other families and they arrived first, but were allowed to save us space near them.
The toilet/shower block has to be the nicest we have ever found, nice decor, clear and fantastic showers (better than we have at home!). The only slight downside is there is only 4 showers in each block (8 in total) so during busy mornings you may need to wait - but they are worth the wait.
The grass is kept nice and short, and if you are EHU then pitches are nicely sectioned off.
There is a fishing lake (which is fenced off for small children), a small sheep and goat which the children's loved. The playground is lovely and centally located. The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. On the Saturday night the site organised a Hog Roast (with hot dogs for the children, and veggie burgers for the Veggies) this was a really lovely touch (not sure how often they do this).
The location is great being 10-15mins drive to Cromer and there is lots to do in the area. We went to a lovely Amazona Zoo and BeWilderwood is a must if you have young children.
All in all one of the best campsites we have ever visited and will definitely want to visit again.
This campsite is simply stunning. Great individually hedged off sections for each tent, ensuring good privacy and shelter. Lovely play area and friendly feel, our daughter made lots of friends and the children all went around in a big gang together. Absolutely no trouble either. Toilet blocks (of which there are 2 on each side) are luxurious compared to some sites. Very modern and clean. Really great amenities throughout that cannot be faulted. The ability to have a campfire without any silly rules was great. Took our own fire pit and wood. Good down-lighting on the site at night and quiet, without being overly autocratic. They held a communal hog roast whilst we were there, but it was expensive for just a roll and ran out very quickly. All in all a fabulous campsite for all ages. Would definitely go back, without any hesitation.
Just got back from a 3 night break at this campsite, been a few times now and we have booked again for September. Facilities are clean and nice, site is kept clean and accessible at all times. The pitch we had could have fitted our tent 4 times over (88).
Very well placed to get to Cromer and Sheringham in 10-15 minutes by car. Looking forward to going back in September,
Shop well stocked. There is some lovely walks around the site and would recommend the Hog Roast they do on a Saturday night. Only moan I have is that we don't live nearer so we can go more often
We have acquired a Delonghi Bambino heater and I am very keen to try it out in our tent. However, last weekend we had very little time and when we realised that we would have to put our tent up in the dark on the Friday evening and there was the possibility that it would be wet when we took it down on the Sunday we compromised and arranged to stay in a megapod.
When we arrived in the dark on the Friday we were made welcome and shown the pod and the trolleys which were available to transport our belongings along the walkway. It was warm and comfortable and the adjoining shower pod was quite spacious, very convenient and warm. It was windy and cold and the pod was sheltered and I cooked breakfast outside on both days.
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay, visited Cromer, which we know well, and thoroughly recommend the fish and chip shop at Roughton.
The Megapod is an excellent way to spend a relaxing time in this part of Norfolk in the winter.
This site was recommended and it did not disappoint. Showers very clean, have underfloor heating, and are well maintained. Only thing that were 5 showers in each block (2 male, 2 female and 1 disabled/family room) which mean in high season it might not be possible to shower when you want. However we didn't have that problem. Wash up facilities excellent and have plenty hot water almost instantaneous. Chemical toilet disposal facilities clearly maked and so is fresh water. Beautiful site which is understandably a gem. Surrounded by forest which helps with sheltering. Spoke to caravan owners who like it so much there is currently a waiting list for places. Met and welcomed by staff and nothing was too much problem. Only gripe we have is that Wifi is expensive at £10 for 24 hours use. Shop has essentials but we did not use this as we came prepared. Would recommend a visit to Cromer which has all the main supermarkets on the main road in. We will definitely return her again as the site is quiet at ths time of year and is open all year round as 'tenters' we like and pitches are big. All have EHU apart from open field near lake.
Just had a lovely weekend at Deers Glade. First time we've been and went for the fireworks display which was well worth the £3 entry and rivalled local big displays!
The site was well laid out, clean, tidy and welcoming.
The toilets were warm and clean.
I felt the arrival was a little rushed, even though we were the only ones arriving at that time - I would have liked to be told a little about the site whilst in reception, particularly as it was a first visit.
Overall, a lovely site though and plan to return sometime when the weather is warmer with the bikes.
This was our 3rd visit to Deers Glade this year and loved every minute of it
1st time was Easter, its such a family orientated & friendly site. It was such a relaxing break, the boys were on the play area the whole time, only coming back for food & drinks ! We were in a position to watch them from our van. Easter Sunday Deers Glade organised an Easter Egg hunt, we loved it answering the questions, looking for clue etc, walking around the site through the woods and over to Muntjac field was really enjoyable
2nd time was bank holiday weekend in August, again another enjoyable long weekend, with the children playing most of the time ! Its nice that they have 1 play area and they all seem to stay together. Meeting new friends and all joining in a game of football.
Hog Roast evenings are a big must ! they are delicious. We took our own drinks and sat under the wind sails near the park, enjoyed our rolls and the boys went off to play ! This left the adults all chatting away til dark. A great atmosphere
We had our 3rd weekend last week, weather was terrible, heavy rain, wind and hail. It was very quiet on the site. We had no problems at all
Every visit we have had the showers, toilets etc have always been immaculate and staff have always been very helpful.
If I could fault one thing it would be the wi-fi, a lot of places are receiving wi-fi for free, Here you pay £1 per hour etc and when you have paid for the code, it doesn't always work ??
Just come back from this site, the site is very well kept, clean tidy and everything well maintained, the fishing is rubbish 10 days and never a fish and other fishermen the same, the children are noisy on the field which spoilt it for us a pity really as we like the area and the site itself is good.
The pitches are a good size and the grass well cut, the chip shop in roughton is very good and Grovelands is well worth a visit for a cup of coffee, very peaceful.
Would like to go again but doubt that we will as I said the fishing is very poor, and the site can be noisy.
We didn't go for EHU and were kindly shown to our pitch by the staff as they explianed the 5 metres between tents rule. We pitched next to the lake and so used our windbreak to block the waters edge from our 4 year old daughter. We weren't blocking any fishing access. Despite this fishermen and their families insisted on squeezing down the side of our tent and windbreak and even dismantled our windbreak whilst we were out one day.
The facilities here are really amazing and spotlessly clean. The children's playground was great but was very noisy until quite late at night. As the site got busier more and more groups of campers arrived with large tents and gazebo's. The 5 metre rule seemed to go out of the window as tents got more and more squashed in. As camping in groups becomes more popular it may be an idea to allocate a certain area for them and another area for solo campers? We do both and I definitely think that the camping experience and expectations are very different.
Having said the above, we are planning to go back to Deers Glade but would pay for an allocated ehu pitch. This would eliminate unfriendly fishermen and the issue of tents pitching closer than they should do - posing a fire risk. I agree with a previous reviewer, why have a rule if you then don't enforce it? Lovely part of Norfolk - Sea Palling beach has to be one of the best places on the planet on a sunny day!
Reading down some of the recent reviews, I won't put in about local shops, chippy etc (very nice) as you will have already gathered whats in the area! What I will say is that this is a lovely site and we are already planning on camping again there next year.
We were visiting with another family in middle of August. Despite what I had read before visiting about noise from kids park etc late at night, we heard nothing after about 10. 00, mostly just the adults chatting quietly outside their tents/caravans when the kids were in bed.
We had no problem getting a shower in the morning or evening and the facilities are clean and well looked after. I think another reviewer has mentioned about the shop opening times and that is my only slight moan. It opens 8.30am and closes about 5.00 or 5.30 in the evening. I think during June / Jul / Aug they could consider opening maybe 7.30 - 6.30 just to allow people that extra bit of time for the early morning milk run for that cuppa or last minute bbq purchase for tea. The staff are friendly and helpful and are happy to answer your questions.
We visited Sheringham beach and realised there was no sand just big grey pebbles, but then found Mundesley a bit further down the coast past Cromer. Lovely sandy beach, easy parking and shops and toilets nearby. Definitely give it a go.
Hubbie and I have booked to go back into a Camping Pod in October at Deers Glade which I am looking forward to reviewing in the future.
All in all, a fantastic site, clean, well looked after, brilliant for kids, shops etc close by - what more do you need. We loved it.
We are a family of 4 and have just returned from a 4 night stay here and must say we were all very impressed with this site. This was our first visit here and we didn't know what to expect, it was recommended by friends and didn't disappoint.
Good access to and from A140, but far enough away not to hear the road, in fact it seemed very quiet and peaceful. On arrival we were shown to our pitch which was next to the lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. We don't have electric hook up so can't comment on other pitches, but ours was fine with plenty of room.
Good playground with slide, large sandpit, large playhouse with tunnels, large basket type swing (for older children) and plenty of space for ball games, and although our children are a bit old for this they seemed to spend a lot of time playing on it. Sheep and goat enclosure a big hit! Site was well maintained and tidy.
There is a hog roast on a Saturday evening, a great fish and chippy at Roughton (5 mins away) and of course Cromer (15 mins) for the beach and places to eat. There are 2 shower, toilet, washing-up and laundry blocks for the site which were modern and very clean, in fact some of the best I have come across so far so a big plus there.
The only downside was we usually had to wait for a shower as there were only two showers in a block, but worth the wait as they were large powerful shower heads with plenty of hot water all the time. Always very clean and always open, even when cleaning in progress.
Shop/reception was clean, modern and tidy. You can freeze ice blocks here for 50p. Basic provisions really as you would expect. Plenty of information leaflets on places to go and information on local events eg Cromer Carnival. There is a supermarket in Aylsham about 5 miles away.
We were lucky enough to stay in good weather, so made use of Cromer beach, Hillside Animal sanctuary and nearby Amazonia zoo, all reasonably priced. We also found a couple of walks round the back of the campsite.
We had a great time, finding the site peaceful and relaxing. It made a great base for visiting the North Norfolk coast and we will definitely be returning next year.
We were lucky enough to get a week here following a cancellation. I'd been encouraged by the positive reviews and we weren't disappointed!
The site is beautifully maintained, good use of hedges to mark out pitches - we have a Vango Tigris 800 and there was enough room for that and our Seat Alhambra alongside!
Yes, we did have to wait for showers some mornings, but I'd expect that on a busy campsite in mid-summer. We did try to use the Family/Disabled shower room as a family of four, but it just wasn't big enough. The facilities were always spotless though. A spin dryer in the laundry would have been welcome but wasn't crucial - they do have two washers and a tumble dyer in each block - I only had a few bits to hand wash.
The site had a great mix of seasonal pitches, tents with EHUS and non EHU area, as well as accommodating motor homes. They've also proved you can be ecologically aware without compromising on safety - the use of down lighters across the site meant there was a great view of the night sky - I even saw a shooting star!
The kids play area was always well used - bit noisy, but again, nothing you shouldn't expect in the middle of the holidays! The site has a no noise after 11pm policy and there were no issues with noise after that. The small animal area was much loved by the kids - but often had no hand sanitiser left, but that was literally the only flaw I found.
The staff were helpful, we were off out most days so didn't make use of the shop, but the site is ideally based for exploring the Norfolk coastline and inland. We enjoyed a meal at the New Inn in Roughton, as well as obligatory fish and chips and crabbing from Cromer Pier.
If you're NT members there are lots of opportunities to dig your membership card out, and a ride on the North Norfolk line from Sheringham to Holt is a must. Have already recommended to friends, and would certainly stay here again.
