Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: BigSis2012 10 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Woodhill for 7 nights from the end of July to beginning of August so it was peak summer holiday time.

We booked in advance & were allocated pitch 27, close to the shop & main toilet block. It was great for amenities but we discovered that the view was rubbish (view of tents/caravans & nothing else). My tip would be to ask for one of the pitches further up with a sea view (probably have to pay for a premium pitch).

The site has well defined pitches but not much privacy (as others have mentioned). The pitch was a standard one & plenty big enough for our tent (Outwell Montana 6 with awning).

Sadly the steps & cliff path have crumbed into the sea so you have to walk to either East or West Runton to get down to the beach (15-20 mins). Someone mentioned the beaches not being dog friendly but I think they are in places - the locals were down there walking their dogs in the mornings (on the stretch from East Runton to Cromer).

Showers were free & pretty good (hot) but got quite grubby because of the volume of people using them, however they were cleaned regularly. I didn't have to queue because I usually went early. The site was fairly noisy because of the time of year - loads of kids around, but it was quiet after about 10pm.

Shop was fairly well stocked - they don't do freezing of ice packs, they only offer their own to use - you have to put £1 deposit down on each ice pack you use & then pay 30p for each replacement. No problem getting deposit back.

Local amenities were OK - a few shops in East & West Runton. The Village Inn did nice food but expensive. Walking to Cromer only takes about 30 mins but there's also a bus stop outside if you don't want to walk. Road to Cromer has a footpath all the way but road is busy and noisy (wouldn't fancy it in the dark or with small children).

I would stay at Woodhill again but I'd request a premium pitch and ask for a better view. I'd also avoid summer holiday time because it was a bit too busy for my liking.

 This is one of the poorest campsites I've ever visited. The toilet facilities are not properly cleaned as the cleaner popped her head in and then signed the sheet.

No recycling facilities found on site and the family shower blocks are terrible as they are small and not very family friendly.

The shop is well stocked and they have a great play area for the kids but it was littered with empty booze bottles

I don't recommend here and wont be visiting again

Reviewer: Shakermaiker 5 reviews from this member

 Very good site, well run. They think of everything I suspect that the owners were campers themselves as it's the little things like antibac dispensers by the grey waste area, dish drainers at the wash up, family shower rooms, loads of wall hooks in the showers etc.

Disadvantages: pitches quite close together, and showers were not hot enough anywhere except the family showers! Which is exactly where you want them a bit cooler! They were simply too hot for my four year old daughter. But the overall family shower area was tremendous!

Advantages: 10mins from Cromer where there is all the usual seaside attractions, supermarkets, etc. Plenty of beaches to chose from, pizza delivery onto the site if you get fed up of barbeques! Great park and a reasonably priced shop. Laundry £4/load

Really enjoyed this site and we would come here again.

Reviewer: Peter69 1 review from this member

 Arrived and were greeted by friendly staff who checked us in quickly and efficiently

The pitch was marked out (which is not always the case so no arguing over space) and large. Easily got a 4 man tent and a car plus plenty of room to sit out and enjoy the site

Our pitch was away from the road although it was not to busy and overlooked the sea. The site offers a great view of the sunset (take your camera)

Although busy there was no queuing for toilets or facilities plus they were kept clean.

Well stocked shop plus 15 minute walk to east runton where the chips were very good

The beach is excellent but not easy to get to without climbing down a big dune (one for the kids) or a 20 minute walk

Lots to see in the area and worth a visit

In conclusion at £18 per night for a family of 4 was excellent value and will definitely go back

Reviewer: Bexi66 1 review from this member

 First time as a family in a caravan for our main holiday and we could not off picked a better place woodhill was superb the moment we turned up in reception to leaving. The staff were friendly, showers were spotless and warm, site was always quiet and everyone helpful and friendly, playground was again well maintained shop at reception very reasonable over all superb and we will definitely be going back

Fish and chip shop in village very good the first pub in village you come to walking from woodhill was very poor and would not recommend it

Nice walk along beach to cromer which the dog enjoyed

A nice peaceful place which is capped of with some outstanding sun sets over the sea

Reviewer: Gwyntog 2 reviews from this member

 We had contacted the owners of the site with a view to booking a pitch on another site that they own, and that was to be for a quiet pitch with minimal facilities, but they told us that their site was full and that they were accommodating us on another of their sites, which turned out to be this site. It really was not what we wanted! Whilst the staff were friendly and the facilities were clean and plentiful, we were packed in very close to our neighbours in a very busy, regimented grid system of pitches. We were so close that we could hear every word our neighbours were saying. Such a shame as it spoilt our experience of Cromer.

We saw many brochures and publicity shots of the site, but none of these gave the true picture of just how closely the pitches were packed in. This really was holiday-camp camping in the style of a by-gone era.

Reviewer: Guiness00 16 reviews from this member

 Site generally very good in most aspects but not outstanding in any.

Biggest fault we found was with local area, all dogs banned from beaches from may to oct, 20 miles to nearest dog friendly sandy beach at wells, would not have booked had we known this.

Also fish & chips are a must for most while away & we were absolutely astounded at the lack of fish & chip bars in area, didn't find one open in cromer after 6pm & was disappointed with the one in the village close to site, tiny portions compared with what we can get at home.

Also 10am is very early to be vacating the pitch with awnings etc to take down but seems typical of a commercial site, 12 noon is far more civilised time to leave as we've found on most privately run sites also site shop very basic, essentials only really.

To summarise, site too commercial, beaches not dog friendly, cromer poor for typical sea side cuisine.

Enjoyed our stay but won't be returning.

Reviewer: Guiness00 16 reviews from this member

 Visited site in July & just wanted to clarify the point about the beaches being dog friendly in the area. Some have mentioned that they are, though there is nothing physically stopping you taking your dog on the beach I can assure you there are many signs warning of a £1000 fine for flouting this public audience & I would not wish people visiting the area to be caught out by inaccurate information posted here.

 We have stayed at this site twice. The 1st time just for 2 nights around 3 years ago - the 2nd time for 2 nights which we extended to 4 and then for another 3. We intended to carry on around the coast, but liked the site so much we decided to make it our base and use the local buses which stopped right outside the gate. Very welcoming, kind and helpful personnel. If ever we want to visit Cromer again, we will certainly stay here.

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 An open site near the cliffs with many wildflowers which attracted quite a bit of bird life. Thought the showers modern and had no problem with the water temp. Went for a premier pitch so no problems with road noise and generally the site was very quiet at night. The coastal path towards Cromer has eroded so you have to walk along the beach however the path towards Sheringham remains intact. A very nice walk is to West Runton to the Village Inn which does food and five real ales. There is a bus stop at the site entrance to Cromer or Sheringham or afar as Norwich.

Reviewer: VWEddy 3 reviews from this member

 We arrived a bit later than planned, but the staff booked us in quickly and sent us around to our plot. 106 with a bit of a sea view (only in our case it was a view of mist and murk!)

The site is very clean with at least three shower blocks, only problem we found was the water in the showers was too hot!

Found the shop to be very good and our kids made use of the tennis net and play area. Or dog loved her run down to the beach, especially once we found some sunshine!

We walked along the cliff and down to the beach, via a very steep dune, and looped right round into West Runton where we found a great Cafe called Clementines, really good vegi options and if you call ahead will try to cater for any diet needs. My wife said it was the best vegi breakfast she had ever had!

Worth visiting Sherringham which is just down the road and also the priory Maze and garden Centre.

A very good stay which was value for money and we are planning to go again later this year.

Reviewer: Sv246 22 reviews from this member

 Just spent half term week here and we stayed on a fully serviced pitch. Nice site, clean, good toilets and shower facilities. Did see some queueing for the family baths and shower rooms. Shop adequate but expensive ( 5mins walk to village shop). It looked quite cramped on the main fields without many pathways. WIFI free but very poor. Road noise was quite bad for those pitches that back onto the fence. Lovely walk/cycle along the cliff to the beach (15mins walk). Big play area for the kids and a big field for ball games. Not a lot for the kids (6&7) to do in Cromer or Sheringham in the evening. Wouldnt stay again but only as we would prefer an area with more to do.

Reviewer: Pickle80 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed here over May bank holiday 2013 and loved it, really nice atmosphere and a great weekend.

The Good: Spacious pitches, brilliant location, really good value for money, good customer service. Plenty of showers and sinks (the site was full and we didn't have to queue much)

The not so good: Not much really, but although the site overlooks the beach, it's a bit of a walk to get to it. My girlfriend didn't think the showers were clearly marked enough but I didn't agree. Also some pitches (ours included) are quite near the main road so a passing motorbike can wake you momentarily at 2am.

If you go, make sure you head to the hill at the rear of the site for sunset. A few people normally congregate there around this time and whilst I'm not normally that taken with sunsets it's pretty spectacular. Best enjoyed with a cold beer. Also Cromer is about a 50 minute walk away along the beach if you head to East Runton village and follow the road to the beach from there but we preferred to head to West Runton (turn left at the cliff edge and follow it for 15 minutes or so)to make the walk a bit longer. On a sunny day it's absolute bliss.

One of the things we like about Norfolk is its less crowded and less expensive than Devon/Cornwall and this place is no exception.

We'll be back!

Reviewer: Ilkleymoorbatat 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from a week's stay here over the May half term. The campsite is in a fantastic location on the cliffs - unfortunately it was quite a windy week but it was worth it for the sunsets which are to die for.

The striking thing about the campsite was how quiet it was from about 10pm when most people had settled for the night and no early morning noise either.

We opted for a premium pitch after reading the reviews here suggesting we would be better away from the road noise. Although there was plenty of space the site was on a slope which made it uncomfortable sleeping and the contents of our tent invariably slid to the bottom. We were disappointed with this as we hadn't been warned and would probably have stuck with a standard pitch had we known. I think there are some level premium pitches so it might be worth asking if you are thinking of upgrading.

The showers and toilets were adequate but generally pretty cool in the mornings and each cubicle opened directly to outside so made for a slightly uncomfortable start to the day as the weather was cool. I'm sure they are fine if you get good summer weather.

The kids loved the playground which was immaculate and well laid out. We didn't use the shop much but stocked sweets which pleased the children!

It is easy to walk along to Cromer and saves the hassle of parking and we had a nice pub meal in The Village in West Runton with lots of space if you are in a bigger party.

Although we enjoyed our stay we would probably look to stay elsewhere next time we visit the area

 Stayed in Woodhill 29th and 30th April 2013, The staff are friendly, very welcoming and have an excellent customer service approach.

The site is very clean, well laid out and pitches are well marked. Fresh water points with waste water and rubbish bins are well sited. We found the toilets and showers excellent, very clean, and lots of hot water. The site is well placed and a walk to East Runton will give you access to the beach and a good walk to Cromer and back. Sheringham is 5 minutes by car the other direction and is well worth a visit.

Would we stay here again, absolutely, it is a great site to spend a few days to explore the area.
