Just returned from a week away at Kelling Heath. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this site. The pitches are a good size, all with electric hook up.
The facilities are good, some reviews say there weren't enough but I only had to wait on one occasion for a shower and never queued for the toilets.
The kids loved cycling around the site and enjoyed the freedom. We had an excellent meal at the Forge restaurant. The surrounding area is lovely and would recommend East Runton Beach. £2 for parking all day!
We enjoyed a day on the broads which is only a short distance away. All in all a very good holiday and hopefully will return to this campsite again.
We spent 10 days at Kelling Heath and enjoyed every one of them. We have booked to return this Autumn.
The pitch we had was in a great location, with woodland to one side and a field to the other, the facilities were clean and excellently located, and the 'village square' contained everything we could need, including a very well stocked shop that was open early to late, a great family pub/restaurant with lovely food and an excellent and good value children's menu, a great children's indoor play area, lovely outdoor pool, great pizza place and plenty of outdoor tables around the bandstand.
The request stop on the steam railway was a big hit with our children, as was the lovely wildlife walks to the pond and lake.
The local area had plenty to offer with beautiful sandy beaches, a great indoor pool at Sherringham, and lots of lovely places to eat. We also really enjoyed Bewilderwood.
Our family of 5 spent 2 weeks at Kelling Heath, plenty of time to get a full flavour of the site and surrounding area. We had stayed in this part of Norfolk before, but in a club site.
We had a great welcome from the staff and the initial impression of the site was good. We were were in the Red Squirrel area of the site.
The toilet block was a little tired in places and was closed for cleaning at 9 - 9. 30am which resulted in queues in the other smaller part of the block which only has 3 wash hand basins.
There were some great play areas and cycle routes around the park.
The outside pool was clean and well life guarded, but worked on a band system and if you turn up on a busy day you may have to wait. The indoor pool has an additional charge which we felt was too expensive. We took the kids to Sheringham pool which is much better value and has a wave machine!
The only thing that really spoilt our holiday was the amount of noise on site. I guess to be expected on a large site. There seemed to be a lot of music played on site and even though there were doorman at the bar the campsite was not really policed. On the last night a caravan came and pitched next to us at 11. 45pm waking us up! We went home a day early to get some peace!
Overall this site offers some great facilities and the children loved all the music and activities. It was a little to full on for us as seasoned campers and felt this site was more for people who go camping rather than 'campers'.
The campsite is highly organised with super facilities. The toilet/shower blocks were always immaculately clean, as were the washing up areas.
The pitches ranged in size - ours was a standard, but was plenty big enough for our 6 man tent and car. The only complaint was that we were under the trees so no sun and our car was covered in bird poo! Yuk! However, there were pitches away from the trees - worth trying to get one if you can!
The terrace bar was good for an evening meal and the den good for the kids - amusements etc and small play area for the younger ones - less than 6 really!
'Wells next to sea' is about 15 minutes away - a fabulous beach with great sand dunes to roll down, a nice cafe and some bungy trampolines which me and the kids had fun on!
Wardens patrol the pitches at night and are very strict on noise! We had to turn down our DVD player and next door got told off for laughing too much and it was only 11. 15! Bit too strict for us, but some people might like this.
Would definitely recommend it overall though - we managed to stay for just 2 nights instead of the full week - phone up and see if they have any gaps.
On first sight we thought that this was going to be too much, we were used to small basic campsites, however, after a day we fell in love with it. Great freedom for kids and indoor pool was handy on rainy day. Would of liked a more enclosed pitch as our tiny tent was too exposed, will make sure have an enclosed area next time. The shower blocks are great and general facilities were very good. Lots to see and do in area, North Norfolk is amazing. This campsite is well worth a stay and Holkham beach is stunning.
This is a fabulous site for camping. We turned up around 3:00pm on a Thursday afternoon without a booking and asked for a 2 night pitch. They only had around 10 pitches left and we were given a list of pitch numbers to check out to see which one we would like. The pitches are all a good size but the option to upgrade to a 100m2 pitch is also available for extra large tents or if you just like a bit more space. I only have a couple of down points the first is that there are quite a few trees above some pitches which I'm slightly weary of in windy or stormy weather. Maybe I'm to much of a worrier! Also all the pitches are fully serviced and we had no electric hook up lead so we felt we were paying for something we did not need. I would have liked the option to only pay for electric if you were going to use it. But I understand this might be hard to police.
The toilet and shower blocks offer every thing we needed. The particular block we used was heated and clean and also had an electric point for my hairdryer and straighteners.
The site offers everything you could need for your stay. It has 2 pools, a gym, pub, restaurant, shop, 2 play parks for the children, bike hire and beautiful walks around the heath and woodland. They also had a local band on the Friday night which complimented the feel and the atmosphere of the park.
They also offer a deal of money off your second and subsequent visits that same year when you pre book your first visit. Which is worth looking into to.
This is a great place for campers, even when it's busy there is plenty of room for everyone and although it's not one of the cheapest places to stay I'm a believer in the saying 'You get what you pay for' and it's worth every penny.
I will definitely be visiting Kelling Heath again very soon.
Have just returned from kelling heath where we stayed in the red squirrel area with our motorhome and pet dog, the pitches were very big, and luckily our area was further away from the open pitching area higher up than can be bit exposed. Having visited kelling heath before but never staying there overnight I did expect a good standard especially in the toilet blocks, this is where it was let down in my opinion. Though money has been spent on refurbishment of the reception and main toilets, it seems that the toilet block on our area has not been updated as yet, though it was adequate I suppose, it was not that clean, the showers were set to one temperature which everyone who used commented on, scalding hot! On our first day a stream from the block appeared running past our pitch and threatening to flood a pitch at the far end of the site, luckily someone notified the office and a team came out to deal with it. The block was then shut and out of use while this was going on.
The alternative block adjacent to us was commented as being much nicer, loads more toilets and showers and cleaner, we had 3 showers between the whole area. The temperatures on the showers was finally sorted as someone must have reported that too.
Though kelling heath is a well designed natural environment I felt that as a dog owner and lover we were treated as though we were second class citizens. Other camp sites do not segregate people with dogs from others and it rarely causes problems, apart from that the facilities in general were good though expensive, we didn't use them.
The only reason we stayed there was to meet up with family who were in a tent so I think we will go back to our usual dog friendly site down the road,
Visited this site in June after reading reviews on here.
We were in squirrels and our tent was pooped on by birds for the 3 days we were there. Due to trees found it a bit damp and chilly in the evenings. Toilet facilities good and plentiful. Our pitch backed onto road which meant lots of passing cars, kids on bikes and walkers.
Didn't use the pool facilities or restaurant so can't comment.
Good location for site seeing local area.
One of the tent fields we spotted was just a huge filed with row upon row of tent in uniform rows
Shop was a bit expensive
Was expensive for a short break. Maybe the sort of place you go in a group rather than hoping to meet people as the layout did not really suit socialising.
Although I love Norfolk, I don't think I would return to this site. Lacked soul for me
Just returned from this site after a 4 day stay with a large group of friends. The site is in a fantastic location with beautiful walks and lots to do. The pitches are clearly marked out and a little regimented even down to the fact they give you a layout as to where yr car, tent and awning should be.
The swimming pool is expensive but they did offer us special discount prices due to the fact that it rained most weekend.
I would recommend this site as the layout, facilities and walks are all very good
Overall, a great site - lots to do on site and in the surrounding area.
Good bits
=========
1. Lots of off-road trails round the site for family cycling. Several cycle routes can be got from the cycle hire place, which start from the site and go off into the surrounding area.
2. Well stocked shop.
3. Decent outdoor pool (with band system to prevent too much over-crowding).
4. Decent bar and restaurants, with soft-play area for young kids (so you can get happily sloshed while they play).
5. Lots of planned entertainment - bands most evenings, nightly bat walks, crafty things for small kids and all free of charge.
6. Decent toilet blocks.
Bad bits
========
1. When busy, the site can feel a bit cramped (but true of all sites in my experience) and toilet blocks can get dirty, before the cleaners get there.
2. Large groups are allowed so can get a little noisy if you're pitched next to one (but we had no specific problems).
3. With bars/restaurants/play areas, site doesn't get quiet until 11pm, so be warned if that annoys you. Personally, I thought it was fine.
4. Indoor pool stupidly expensive - £30 for a family of 4 for one day!
5. The staff can get a little over-zealous with the rules, in my opinion - they let 8 of us into the outdoor pool but made me wait 15 minutes for one other person to leave before they'd let me join my family (and I wasn't even swimming!).
I would also highly recommend the burger at the Dun Cow pub, about 5 miles from the site along the coast road - the best burger ever!
Great site and one of the few we will probably return to.
We spent 4nights over the Royal Wedding Weekend. We were pitched in the Red Squirrel area, which meant that our pitch was surrounded by people with dogs without knowing this.
We were on a serviced pitch which came as standard. The pitches are good size for our large tent (7x6m).
The facilities are adequate, but were unheated in the Red Squirrel Area and some seemed to be coming up to requiring refurbishment.
We took our bikes and got loads of use from them around the site on the marked cycle routes which our 5 year old loved.
The site is ideally located for the towns of Sheringham, Cromer and attractions such as Bilderwood. We visited Sheringham Park with our bikes, which is a great place for walking, picnics and a bike ride.
The smaller children’s play area is located in the centre of the camping area, however due to the age of the children we had to accompany them to the play area due to its remoteness.
If you visit you need to bring a torch as there are no lights at night which is great for star watching but you need to watch your step when taking a small child to the toilet at 3am in the morning.
Just got back from a lovely three night stay at Kelling Heath. Site was very busy but fortunately we had booked one of the premium pitches on the quieter end of the Red Squirrel area.
The pitch itself was great - not overlooked and plenty big enough for large tent, car, bikes & trailer. The shower/toilet block was close and handy and although it was a BH weekend the water was hot and queues minimal.
Children were very disappointed that the advertised Saturday Disco was replaced by the football - on a TV with very dodgy sound at that. We joined the Health Club and the pool was lovely as always.
It is our first visit since the shop/reception area has been redesigned and the improvement was noticable. Definitely a better choice of goods in the shop - coffee cake to die for!
One change which we didn't appreciate was the need to book tables to eat in the Terrace bar - this is something that perhaps should be pointed out when booking your holiday as by the time you arrive on site it's too late to get a table! We settled for Brackens takeaway and were pleasantly surprised.
Only other slight grumble was the idiots sending up Chinese lanterns a few feet from our tent during the longest dry spell this county has seen in years - it is in the welcome pack that this is not allowed but sadly some chose to ignore.
Good to see wristbands in operation to prevent the cheeky devils staying at Breck Farm coming acoss to use the facilities.
Just returned from a 3 night stay [booked 4nights] but very windy on quite an exposed area [red squirrel field].
This is only area allowing dogs.Rest of site is very nice with good woodland walks and excellent facilities, showers / toilets up to date and very clean.
Nearby Sherringham and Cromer within a few miles of the site, but if you want to stay on site there is quite a good variety of things to do and options for food etc.
Stayed at Kelling Heath from the 17th - 21st April 2011 after being recommended to it by neighbours. We had never been camping before but had a good sized tent and basic equipment for 2 boys 6 & 11 and 2 adults.
What a fabulous place. Anyone that under-rates this place needs a reality check. Its wonderful. Amazing woodland setting, great facilities, immaculate shower / toilet blocks, cycle hire, swimming pool, shop, bars, restaurants etc, etc.
Plenty of space between the pitches and fabulous facilities for the kids, there's a couple of large adventure playgrounds, fishing ponds and great walks.
Its about a 10 minute drive to the coast situated between Holt and Sheringham, about a 10 minute drive to Cromer. Wonderful coastline.
As first time campers, we had a wonderful time and would thoroughly recommend this site to anyone else visiting the Norfolk area. We honestly couldn't fault the place and will definitely be returning.
Stayed at Kelling Heath overnight at a weekend - to test the motorhome after a winter lay-up. It was their opening weekend
Site is lovely - wooded and heathland setting, plenty of walks and cycling both on and off site. Cycled to the coast at Weybourne past Weybourne station and back on the footpath through the woods at Kelling Heath where the site has a dedicated halt for the railway.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. New shop and reception for this season - there are local products for sale including chillis from Weybourne
Three places to eat - we ate in the Forge bar/restaurant. Good food including local food, reasonable cost, friendly service
Health and Fitness Club looked good - time didn't permit use. There is a charge to use it:£10.50 per day but the charge is well publicised and other reviewers who have whinged about the cost would have known about it beforehand. It is a 'private' club not one dedicated for tourers
Being early in the season some things were not yet open: the steam railway and the cycle hire facility - it would have been helpful if copies of the cycle trails had been available for sale in the shop
The advantage of the early season was that it was very quiet and peaceful - I expect it is very different in school holidays. In the meantime our only disturbance was a fox barking at 3 in the morning!
Lovely place - will return
