Over the years I have stayed at Diglea quite regularly in the Beach Huts, in caravans and tents.
On this occasion a quick stopover on the way to see my mate in Cromer.
I am pleased to say that Diglea continue to provide a first class camping experience. Just a five minute drive off the A149, so the entire North Norfolk coast is easily accessible.
First class toilet and showering facilities and a very child friendly play area.
I have tried all the campsites in Norfolk at least once in my 60+ years of camping, and Diglea has proven to be the best.
I really can't fault it, hence the scores out of 10.
Diglea is a well located site within a few minutes walk of the beach and nature reserves at Snettisham near Hunstanton, Norfolk.
A spacious reception area with friendly staff provides parking for even the largest unit, with a security barrier operated by a fob collected from reception when booking in.
A dog friendly bar is also located here, which has regular events taking place throughout the season.
A cabin, open most days, sells various sundries, with bread available each morning, newspapers, beach items and filled rolls etc.
The site itself is quite large, with a mix of statics, caravans and motorhome pitches, as well as a glamping area.
All the toilet blocks were spotless, with a separate block for males and females and a number of individual unisex shower/toilet suites also available in separate cabins. The main toilet block includes a separate plate washing area, washer and dryer machines, and a dedicated dog shower.
There were fresh water points available throughout the site, with our hard standing pitch having its own. Electric hookup worked well, and the chemical toilet area was always clean.
The recycle and general waste bin area was kept tidy, and staff were constantly seen working throughout the site tending to it. Lots of green space, a child’s play area, and a dedicated dog walking area top off what is a very well catered for site.
The only addition that would be welcome would be a swimming pool, but with the beach just down the road maybe not a priority for everyone.
Locally, there is an excellent Antique Centre with cafe at the end of the lane, and numerous walks (we walked about 16 miles over two days on quiet lanes and dedicated walking routes).
Being only a 15 minute drive from Hunstanton or Kings Lynn, and a stone’s throw from Sandringham, this is an excellent stop to use as a hub for exploring this unspoiled region of Norfolk.
Located at the end of a 1 mile lane that leads from the main A149 at Snettisham, this site is a 5 minute walk to the coast at Shepherd Port which is a small residential estate just behind the flood wall. Nearby is an RSPB bird reserve and there are plenty of nice walks in the area, OS map is useful.
The site is well laid out with excellent toilet and shower facilities, being a little isolated it is very peaceful, no traffic noise.
Pitches are of generous size and water/disposal facilities nearby.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Access is controlled by a barrier for which you need to obtain an electronic pass key for which there is a £10 deposit, returned on leaving.
There is a little shop on site selling bread, newspapers, beach things and most importantly ice creams! There is also a shop between the site and beach but I didn't use it.
There is also a bar on site but I don't think it was open early June and I didn't use it so cant comment.
Its an ideal spot, 4 miles from Hunstanton, an easy walk or easier drive. Kings Lynn is also only 13 miles. You can get a bus to either but need to walk into Snettisham village to catch it, they are regular.
A great site I have been twice now and recommend it, ideal for summer holidays, walking, seeing local sites eg Sandringham or just exploring rural Norfolk.
A really friendly campsite, even the families in the statics there are so lovely and friendly.
The kids enjoyed the pool table, the table tennis, the little shop to spend their pocket money.
Lovely staff, including the cleaners who do a superb job at keeping the facilities spotless.
Love love love the new bathing beach huts! Such luxury at a campsite.
Lovely eatery vans and a car boot sale on the football pitch on a Sunday morning. A short walk to the RSPB site, a wonderful lake and a beautiful beach with the best sunset views ever!
Quick check in, very hot /dry weather, campsite was very busy,
Facilities somewhat stretched and took on the appearance of festival type amenities, with prefabricated shower blocks,
The site is a dust bowl in dry weather,
Shop is a garden shed with the very basic of camping needs, Having said that it's convenient for the beach,
Nearby fish and chips are good, a good sized supermarket 3 miles away,
The verdict; it's a family run site with decent prices and plenty of things for children to occupy themselves,
Security are difficult to get hold of and there aren't many site rules adhered to, but for a break that won't break the bank it's worth a try via mobile
Liked easy check in and out. Clean facilities, although we never used the bar, it looked ok. Very quiet when we visited but I'm not sure it would be so in high season. There doesn't seem to be enough toilet shower or washing up points to cope with the number of pitches they serve.
A security guard patrolling just before 11pm noise curfew checking to ensure everybody will be quiet on time.
The pitch, as with many of them near us, has a big hollow or two. These look like shallow wheel spin holes only wider. Not good for standing a chair or table on or walking through the tent.
The rest of the pitch(s) is flat and level. They are not the biggest pitches we've ever seen. Minimal site lights near hook ups were enough but I wouldn't like to be pitched next to one, low level but bright.
WI-FI, £4 per day (2021 price). EE data network weak but ok or we would have gone without internet!
Site roads are all gravelled even in to non-serviced pitches.
Near enough to beach to walk, although a quiet road, its not that wide and no footpath.
Lovely little site, with just enough going on - well stocked little shop selling a good mix of kiddies buckets and spades, essential snacks and locally sourced basics (including delicious bread and cooked ham).
New facilities block is great - excellent showers. Cant comment on the older ones, I expect they will gradually be replaced. They were certainly cleaned regularly.
Very friendly little bar and great food from the burger van. Alternatively not a bad fish and chip shop within 5 minutes walk.
Some noise from the entertainment (Tuesday night is Soul night!) and the kids play area, but all quiet by 10pm. 10 minute walk to the beach and the beautiful nature reserve.
Plenty of water points.
Negatives - could do with a proper Motorhome servicing point - somewhere to drain waste. Could also do with fencing off the dog walking area so that dogs can have a run off lead.
But, I would definitely stay again as I love Snettisham anyway and this site is in a great location.
Just by way of update since my last visit / review of July 2020 to say that firstly, I remain happy to agree with other members' reviews, and secondly, the only material change is that some track-ways have been smartly resurfaced.
However, on this occasion, the site was suffering from significant water-logging. We were accommodated quite satisfactorily on a piece of hardened ground. Therefore suggest that if your visit coincides with a period of rainy weather, I might be just as well to give them a call to check situation.
Two personal recommendations: Had the most enormous fish & chips from Fishers in Hunstanton and the Farm Shop at Norfolk Lavender has excellent locally sourced hand made products on its deli counter.
To sum up: Probably the best value family site in North Norfolk (aka Chelsea on Sea)
First of all don't bother booking a hard standing pitch unless you're are a regular or have a motorhome, this is probably the only way you will get a decent one, we booked hard standing for our folding camper, it was diabolical to be called hard standing it was moss and grass.
After it rained it looked like we were in the middle of Lake Windermere, we were surrounded with rain with it also pooling underneath us, we took our 2 dogs they couldn't step outside without having their legs in water.
After having lock down you would think that they would have done something to improve the hard standing.
Also there was a hell of a lot of seasonal Van's which some looked like they had been abandoned they were a disgrace.
The bar on site though very friendly could do with a upgrade, out sitting area the rotten decking and bird muck all over the seats.
As you can probably guess we will not be returning, save your money and go elsewhere. via mobile
Loved this relaxed spot. We have 4 dogs who chilled out with us and it was fantastic to see tourer caravans, tents and all styles of camper and motorhome mixed together.
No info on children as schools are back. One little lad was on the swing.
