 Sadly for the owners of this campsite the foul weather had turned a great deal of this site into a very muddy and wet place with most of the grass areas churned up by vehicles.
The owner was out constantly to help anyone who was stuck and was always on hand, with a smile, at the first sign of anyone needing help.
Sadly we did not see this site at its best.
Some of the pitches require you to drive over grass to get to a hardstanding so anyone with a sizeable Motorhome would struggle unless the ground was bone dry.
The CL has one Motorhome suitable pitch the rest are situated across a meadow which involves a long drive over grass.
The restaurant was full the night we arrived and was not due to open until five days later so we did not get the chance to sample the food.
Some very nice walks in the area but not a great deal else, there are no pubs/restaurants/shops or coffee shops in the two local villages.
You really need to drive from this site to find anywhere to eat or drink.
One of the toilet blocks was nice and warm and clean, the smaller one was chilly and grubby.
Quite expensive,the CL was £25 per night over Easter!
We hope the sites recovers from the results of the recent foul weather.

We stayed at this site for a weekend in August and found it very nice & clean. The pitch for our caravan was spacious with plenty of room for the kids to play.
We didn't use the restaurant as it seemed a little bit stuffy and formal for the children. They would do better by also providing a snack bar type kiosk, perhaps?
The surrounding area was peaceful with good walking areas available. Great place for relaxing.
Toilets/showers were excellent. All round the site was well maintained and staff helpful and friendly.
Slight downside was the cost of the pitch. Standard pitch with hook up for two nights was £45.00. . A tad expensive I thought, but I suppose it was high season.
I'd be happy to recommend this site to anyone.

We had ten lovely nights at this campsite. We booked one of the premier tent pitches as our tent is so big (they only have three) but they are hard standing and we have never pitched on stone before. But the amount of space you have is great. After walking all round the park we found that there were enough toilet facilities which were clean and i liked the idea of having a shower curtain around the sink so you can have a wash in private, and you weren't far from one where ever you were pitched.
The play park was basic but my kids made friends there and had fun. We didn't use the restaurant but the take away was good value for money. You have to travel in your car if you want to go out for the day as you are a bit in the back and beyond but that also means its not really noisy and as most of the people have kids you don't get a lot of noise at night .
The owners I found were very nice they were quite strict that you could only drive the car on and off once a day and if you came back you had to park in the car park but I found that a good thing as your kids could play and weren't looking out for cars all the time on the whole we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

We've just come back after 10 days in the Old Brick Kilns - and we had a great time. After the first sunny day, the heavens poured - so much so our awning was flooded and out of action for most of the time we were there! And fair play the owner came over to see that we were ok and if anything was damaged. We thought the site was lovely, and our children (5 and 6yrs old loved it also). Our pitch was close to the second toilet block and had a lawned play area in front of us which was great for watching the children and the odd spot of badminton!
If we had to be picky - the children's play area didn't appeal that much, and possibly could have done with more showers (I went for one last night at about 8pm and they were empty. By the time I came out 10 mins later there was a queue of approx. 4 ladies!). We would definitely go back and encourage anybody else to visit. We had a great time - despite the rain!
Thank you very much Old Brick Kilns, or as we say in Wales, diolch yn fawr I chi!

Fantastic site. Given pitch in adult only area, hardstanding large enough for our little demountable and table and chairs and plenty of space between pitches.
Quite a long narrow lane to negotiate every time you go out in a vehicle. Facilities were all pristine although I wasn't too keen on the wire covered wooden steps down to the nearest toilets - you couldn't afford to be in too much of a hurry in the wet weather! I never used the shower (singular) in that block as I felt it likey that I'd have to queue, instead I queued in the heated main block! I suppose it was peak time and the site was nearly full.
The owners were friendly and helpful, made you feel welcome by remembering your name and chatting to you; they never seemed to stop working. We will cdertainly recommend and return.

This was our 2nd visit to this site. First visited last July for a glorious sunny week, and we were so impressed that we had to return. The staff are very friendly, the facilities are good and clean, the site is safe for children to play and ride bikes, although the kids (3,5 and 8) weren't very impressed with the playground! We stayed for 7 nights this year on one of the serviced tent pitches on the lower part of the site, following horrendously wet weather, and found this area to be waterlogged - literally ankle deep on some of the caravan pitches. As soon as the water appeared to be drying up another downpour would ensure fresh flooding. I appreciate that the weather has been exceptional this summer(!), but on any future visits I would ensure we were on the camping field, which is higher and drier. Sogginess aside, this is easily the best campsite we have visited in 3 years of camping and numerous camping trips. Great centre for visiting most of the attractions on the north Norfolk coast.

Hi, just spent the kids whit week here and what can I say- what a lovely site! British weather let us down over the weekend but that was out of their control!, It is a lovely site with very spacious pitches,. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent and sone of the best we have seen . the lilttle touches like the underfloor heating make all the difference not only to your tooties but also help to dry the floor quickly. Excellent laundry facilites and the reception sells everything you could want, including fresh baked baguettes and croissants in the mornings. There is a small room for ther kids with a table tennis table, pool table and small tv. Also a restaurant with a bar area. we didnt eat here but the food looked fantastic. A good selection of bottled beers available from the bar!.
There is a playarea for the children as well as a small pond to fish in for a small fee. The children enjoyed seeing the rabbits that run around and the ducks, especially when they were swimming on the grass next to our caravan on the first weekend!- british weather for you!
The 2 guys even supplied me with sockets sets to fix my sons puncture!
I would recommend this site to anyone, keep up the good work.

Have just visited this site, it was lovely, quiet, clean, and the staff were very helpful. They have an adult only part which was fantastic, so peaceful. The resturant on site is well worth a visit,the food was perfect and presented beautifully, and so reasonable.The only fault for us was the fact that we have annexes on our awning, and if we had needed to use the two, they would not have fitted. Although our kids now 16&19 don't come with us very often, but when they do they tend to have a friend in tow. But on saying that if we only need the one annex we will be going back here.

We stayed here over the busy Easter weekend and found this to be one of the best sites (and cleanest) that we have stayed at. The site is well laid out in a very pleasant location with a separate camping field for tents and marked pitches. Barbeques are permitted. The toilet/shower and washing up facilities were very clean with plenty of hot water. If you don't want to cook there is a restaurant serving meals, snacks and take-aways. The children enjoyed using the playground and table tennis table in the games room (bats/balls are not available to hire). The small shop stocks all the basics and newspapers, fresh croissants, eggs and bread are available daily.
We would certainly recommend this site if you are looking for a clean, quiet and friendly site in a pleasant location.

We have stayed here twice now and find it an excellent site. The staff are friendly and the facilities well located and clean. The pitches are generous and the grassed areas well maintained and attractive.
The shop is well stocked with day to day provisions and the site is relaxed. We have told friends of this site and they were equally impressed. It is not the cheapest site but I have paid far more for far less!

Returning visit to this campsite, so expectations were high. We stayed a week. Overall, very good site, although since last year tent pitches have deteriorated with some very bumpy pitches and the sloping seemed more in evidence and problematic - maybe that was why tents were pitched at strange angles? Also, wondered if owners had squeezed extra 2/3 pitches as tents were very close. Good mix of campers / caravanners and many tended to hail from Scunthorpe / Yorkshire ‘and the like’.
Restaurant served good, tasty food and reasonably priced. Washer and dryer expensive to use (£3.50 each), as was shopping in the onsite shop but when you factor in petrol usage to supermarket, maybe not.
Owner keen and helpful but partner indifferent and not customer focussed. When asked if there was a communal washing line, was told in no uncertain terms ‘No, and don’t you dare hang anything around your tent’! Later she was overheard in the restaurant complaining about whingeing campers & washing lines. Discretion, tact, diplomacy? Showers hot and usually no queues. Not a fan of toilets & showers in same building – smell unbearable - but I guess that’s camping!

We visited the site on the off chance of getting 7 days booked up, But we had such a good time there that we extended our stay for 3 more days. Yes it absolutely chucked the rain down on us for most of our stay but the staff were always offering any help that might be needed.
The site has a lovely evening restaurant /bar the food was delicious and we used it often. There is a small shop in the reception area which sells the basics that you might need,The showers/toilets were lovely and kept clean. I cannot praise the staff enough especially the owners Allison and John,They always had time for a smile and a friendly chat. We were on pitch 65 which was out of the main area (no Children)which suited us fine.
There is a tv room which also has table tennis/pool tables.There is a play area for children and they seemed to enjoy it. There is a local pub where we lost in a quiz! but it was a great laugh. There is a large Tescos not too far away.The site was very well managed and very pretty. We hope to return next time we go to Norfolk.

We have stayed at this site many times as it is one of the best sites we have stayed at in the area, it has recently had new owners that have spent a lot of time and energy on improving an already excellent site we will be going back later this year.

This site does not encourage tenters. We reserved two pitches at nearly £20 each for one adult and two kids. The ground we were shown was badly sloping and rutted - impossible to get the tent level, and the potholes were filling up with rain.
The owners attitude was 'It's a field'. True but v. Expensive for just a field. Facilities looked OK but tenters mainly want a decent pitch to start with. They wouldn't even consider any money back.
Typical of many caravan parks that stick a few tents on the side, take the money but don't bother.

This is the second time we have visited this site and have found it to be by far the best that we have been to. The pitches are very spacious and there is plenty of room for the children to play. The site is very well maintained and the staff are very friendly. The toilets and showers are also very clean. I can't think of a bad thing to say about this site - well maybe just the fact that we have to go home!
