Reviewer: Alison634 5 reviews from this member

 Lovely area and lovely site. Our Motorhome was in a pitch that backed almost into the surrounding woods, great for just sitting and looking. A bit worrying when the wind got up but absolutely no worries of impending danger.

Excellent facilities, very well managed.Staff very helpful and friendly. Some say there are too many rules, we were not aware of any 'rule' that didn't make perfect sense. Would choose different pitch next time as we were shaded from the high trees but it didn't cause a problem.

Lovely woods to walk in, a well stocked shop is also to be found in the middle of the woods which was handy. Bus stops right outside the site to go to Sandringham House, glad we took the bus as it would have been a long walk. Worth a stay, looking forward to going again soon.

 The site is up to the usual CC standards and the play areas are open and cater for all age groups.

There is a little store that sells all you could need. It’s an independent outlet next to the C&CC site, so there is a short gentle uphill walk involved through the woods, but it’s a nice walk; the shop prices are more painful but expected considering the location! Sadly the kissing gate at the start of the path leading to the shop won’t let your average pushchair through, although the path could be a challenge for some pushchairs.

The local area is excellent for walking and cycling. There are wooded paths and quiet roads which go in various directions, including Sandringham House which you can easily reach by bike once you’ve navigate a good hill – not a problem for your average cyclist, but my wife had our daughters bike linked by the tag-a-long and had to walk some of the hill.

Sandringham House and its gardens are as you would expect. There are more paths to cycle and walk plus a pleasure drive. The pleasure drive has loads of secluded places to pull off and have a picnic. There is loads of parking near the house, we even managed to park our 24ft motorhome for the day with no difficulty; plus it’s free. The children’s play area was surprisingly poor, but according to the press article I’ve since read, a little boy has wrote to the Queen and she is going to do something about it.

Wolferton is within cycling distance and has a nature reserve (Dersingham Bog) before you reach the village. Wolferton has some of the prettiest houses I’ve ever seen, especially the ones which used to be the railway station; they still have the original platforms as their gardens. Apparently, the station was very popular with the royals in years gone by.

There are loads of nature reserves in the area that are worth a visit. We went to one, Marsh Side I think, which had a path down to the beach (Sadly closed for upgrade during our visit). Again parking was fine for the motorhome, plus there was a small café and toilets.

We also visited Wells-Next-The-Sea, which I think could be the best beach in the area and, unlike Hunstanton, had suitable parking (no height restriction!). Wells had a mini railway, swings, harbour for crab fishing (which appeared very popular), small selection of shops and the beach.

We also visited Bircham Windmill. We felt the price to go up in the mill was a bit too much, but unless you spend money in the shop or café, everything else is free and worth an hours visit to see the mill, selection of animals and small children’s play area. Their home made cakes are well worth a visit – the best fresh doughnuts we’ve ever had. Again, plenty of parking, but access to the overflow field could pose a problem for the larger motorhome, so get there early.

We would be happy to stay at the CC site again, but probably wont as I think we’ve visited everything in the area that we would want to see.

 A very nice site with the toilet facilities up to the usual club standard. The play area was mostly closed apart from a small slide and roundabout and a seesaw. I found this difficult to explain to my granddaughter as no reason was given (This was one of the reasons I booked this site).

There seemed to be more rules on this site than others I have visited, one being that motor caravans could not use a hose to fill their water tanks because someone may trip over the hose?.

The surrounding area is very nice,we spent most of our time on the beach at Old Hunstanton parking behind the La Strange Hotel £3.50 for the day.There is a very nice cafe next to the lifeboat station too.We went to Holt and took a ride on the steam train to Sheringham which is a very nice day out.

 Te whole site is immaculate, spacious pitches plenty of grassed area surrounding plots to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Toilet blocks and showers were immaculate, entrance and reception block were kept clean and tidy as were all the floral arrangements and bin areas. Wardens always on hand if needed and pleasant and friendly staff.

The only negative point was the wash room blocks close for one and half hours, for cleaning and there is only one baby toddler bathroom and found it got really busy at certain times could definitely do with another.

The surrounding area is fantastic with so many places to visit, we were there a week and felt we had only just scratched the surface so will definitely be going back. Hunstanton 10 miles away is a gorgeous little seaside town, and Sheringham and Cromer about 40 mins away and Great Yarmouth just a little further.

Nearer to site is Sandringham with its lovely parkland and gift shops, not to mention all the woodland walks. There is also a shop about 100yds from the site for all your basic needs and has a good variety of caravan essentials, foodstuff and toys etc. between the Caravan Club and the Camping and Caravan Club site.

Nearest Supermarket Budgens in Dersingham about 3 miles away is excellent. The Feathers pub in Dersingham offers good food and lovely beer garden and play area for the kids as does the Holkes Arms just a couple of miles down the road

 Just got back from the Sandingham Caravan Club Site and I have to say it was a very nice site.

Too many Do/Do Not Do signs for my liking and the children's play area was closed with no explanation given.

Good base for visiting the area, Sandingham House very expensive.

One place that I would recommend is Pensthorpe Bird Sactury (as featured on BBC's Springwatch) excellent value for money.

Beach at Old Hunstanton (near the lighthouse) best.

Over all very clean site, wardens were there if you needed, we did not so didn't see them, very busy site especially at 12noon on a Saturday.

Date of Visit: March 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Chris Willsher 6 reviews from this member

 As previous reviewers have stated, this is an excellent and very well managed CC site. It is very popular and I was amazed at how full it was in the middle of March. I chose it as I wanted to visit the RSPB Reserve at Titchwell rather than for the Royal connections. There is a surprising level of road noise from the nearby main road between Kings Lynn and Hunstanton.

The only real negative that I have and this applies to both the main clubs' sites is the proliferation of warning and 'do not' notices.

The staff are extremely attentive and everything including the excellent children's play areas was kept very clean and inspected frequently.

The Sandringham Estate itself is great for walking but not for cycling. Having just come direct from the Caravan Club site at Clumber Park where the National Trust have done a brilliant job of creating cycle paths away from traffic across the open countryside and woods to this site I found the notices telling you that you could only cycle on the tarmac roads disappointing as these are not quiet from a traffic point of view and would not really be safe for unsupervised young children.

 Visited for New Year this year.

Found the site to be excellent. The pitches are spacious, well spaced hard standings. The Toilet blocks were immaculate. The play areas were also good.

The wardens were friendly and welcoming, and hosted a wine and mince pie gathering on the 31st.

We walked to the estate a couple of times, and found the shop to be good, and the cafe/restaurant excellent.

We didn't even switch the tv on once, or look at our e-mails so cannot comment on tv signal or wi-fi.

Reviewer: Meridienmick 8 reviews from this member

 We have been Caravan Club members for over 20 years and I can't understand why it has taken us so long to visit this superb site with its extremely spacious pitches, usual high standard facilities and helpful staff. Because the site was so pleasant, we were rather lazy and hardly ventured off anywhere apart from walking through the woods, up to the house and other local places.

We were more than a bit disappointed with the 'Farm Shop' at the Sandringham Visitor centre. Our expectations were based upon the Farm Shop at Chatsworth and the Royal Farm Shop at Windsor, but at Sandringham it consists of a couple of freezers and a single display cabinet in one corner of the gift shop. However, we discovered that the small shop / butchery in West Newton, about a mile from the site, sells meat from the estate and other local produce - highly recommended.

 Arrived at site mid afternoon on the Friday for a long weekend. Good welcoming as you would expect from the club wardens. First impressions of the site was it was a bit open for being at Sandringham, we were expecting more trees on the site it self but after settling on a good size pitch and the sun was shining all was well.
Most of the pitches are hard standing and a good size. TV signal in the area is not good at all so you will need a 25m lead to plug into the socket or you can buy them on site for £12.50 then you can get the 5 main channels. Do not expect anything else unless you have your own sat.
Great site, very well kept and looked after. Toilets and showers are as you expect on a club sit. A1. There seemed to be a nice play area for children. The site shop has a few bits and bobs in it but there is a nice provisions shop about 150 Yds walk from the site. Lots of good walks to enjoy and very close to Sandringham house.
Lots of local wild life to watch, deer, birds, squirrels etc etc. All in all a very very good site. I was surprised to see that it was full both nights we were there and vans lining up to get in as we were leaving on the Sunday and that was early March. We will be going back again later in the year.

 We had a wonderful week at the site. The pitches were spacious and well placed. The shower blocks were good and clean as always with a club site.

There is a small shop which to get to you need to walk through the woods and is slightly up hill but it does sell most things that are needed.

There is also a fish and chip van that visits the site.

As the name suggests you stay within the grounds of Sandringham and to go to the house it is only a few minutes down the road if you drive. Here you can walk around the grounds and visit the shops although to see the house and its gardens you do have to pay.
