 Just home from our first visit to Pinewood. We took advantage of the weather forecast and were not disappointed. The camp-site was just a gentle stroll away from the glorious sandy beach at Wells, and beautiful walks through the pine trees. There were wild roses, honeysuckle, foxgloves, numerous birds and rabbits, not to mention the ubiquitous ducks which called in for a snack each evening!
The site itself is quite large, and the pitches could be larger, but the facilities were adequate. There was always piping hot water in the showers, although these would be improved by a coat of paint. We will return as the site is so convenient for bird-watching, beaches, and delicious local food!

We've visited this site several times over the last 7-8 years and keep going back. This is entirely due to where the site is located - right on the huge beach (although not visible from the site) and a lovely bracing mile-long walk into Wells along the sea wall. We've had our share of problems eg being allocated a pitch that had an electrical unit in the middle of it. Being squashed on a pitch due to inconsiderate pitching by others etc. However, any complaints have been sorted out efficiently by the staff.
The owners have slowly made improvements over the period we've been visiting and yes, the tent area has shrunk as they seem to be expanding the log cabin and static areas.
Only a couple of gripes - the loos are ready for upgrading and you're not allowed to pitch a pup tent next to the caravan (would have to pay for a seperate tent pitch!). The superpitch area for caravans is nice but some pitches can be a bit tight. Wells is tiny and not that commercialised, a couple of arcades to keep our teenagers happy.
There's plenty of walking and cycling around.

What a super place Pinewoods is!! I tried to go camping at Pinewoods during August (when the weather was pretty bad). The staff i spoke to were very honest and told me it was a bit too bad for tents.
So I decided to go for the 1 night on saturday Sept 4. The weather was glorious and when we got there (me and 2 children) were greeted very warmly and were directed to what they call the Paddock. Even though they had suffered during the bad weather they were using this part of the site for tents as it was dry. The usual place for tents is by the lake. We took a wander there and must admit it looks idyllic so will go back and check it out next year. The reason they had closed it was to let the area dry out and let the grass recover. Thats what I call caring!!
There was loads of space in the Paddock
so finding a quiet part was no trouble.
The shower/wc blocks were fine and the shop and cafe were very good. Prices in the cafe very reasonable and the tables outside in the courtyard were clean and the bacon and egg baps were lovely!! A short walk crossing the road and there was the sea!! When the tide is out you can walk for miles!!
Overall we had a great stay and will certainly be going back there!! Wells itself is only a little walk down the sea front or a short trip on the train!!

Toilet blocks next to our pitch were closed all week for maintenance, though we never saw anyone working in there, which meant having to walk to the blocks further away, the only thing with this was if the cleaner had closed them when you got there you had to have a trek across to the other ones.
We were quite worried about security, (there are security guards on duty 24 hours a day) but there seemed to be a lot of people walking onto the site to use the toilets from the car park situated next to the site.
Tent pitches did not have a lot of room around them, glad we were on the outside of the field rather than having to get our car in between all the tents in the middle.

Pretty large site but very well managed. We decided to 'nip to Norfolk' on spec one weekend so only stopped the one night (Saturday). The weather was fantastic so maybe other campers had the same idea because it was quite busy. Luckily we didn't have to pitch up on the 'overflow' field which I'm glad about because it certainly is a trek to the loos and the grass is very overgrown (or was).
Our particular toilet/shower block wasn't brilliant but there were other nicer blocks not too far away so it wasn't much of a problem. The shop on site is great but ran out of beer - mind you that is hardly their fault - it was very warm and we all know how campers like their beer and BBQ's. I would go again - lovely part of the country and a pretty decent site on the whole.

If it's a flat site your after, here it is. Flat, good and numerous toilet blocks, a one mile walk takes you to Wells for pubs, amusement arcades and chip shops. A few hundred metres from the site is a long sandy beach that is one hundred times bigger when the tide is out!
Shop on site is as good as you will find, better than some supermarkets. A small cafe caters for breakfast and snacks during the day, but shuts early as does the shop.
Shopping in Wells is restricted to souvenirs and candy floss. Many people we spoke to go back year after year, speaks volumes. We shall go back.

Have been coming to this site for the past 15/20 years, at various points throughout the year. Have to say I'm very disappointed with the site in recent years, it seems to have become a little less tent-friendly, making the tent pitches area smaller and smaller to make room for more statics. They get booked up very quickly too, maybe just because less tent space? But their answer to this is an 'overflow' field for tents whereby we've had to flatten 3 foot of grass in the past before we could pitch! The overflow field also has no facilities at all and you have to walk back onto the main site to use the toilet/shower blocks etc. not really ideal in the dead of night!! Having said that, the shower blocks are clean. The site is well located for the beach and woodland strolls. A good shop and the novelty train for the ride. 3/4 mile to town.

First time campers (just brought a Conway Voyager)so picked this site as we knew the area and had read positive feedback on this site.
The location is beautiful and Wells is a good location from which to explore the north Norfolk coast.
The shower/toilet block (9) allocated to the tent pitches with electric hook up were generally kept clean. They are very tired and in need of more than just a coat of paint. The site wasn't full but got busy towards the end of our stay and consequently there were queues for washing up facilites, showers etc.
On the whole we have enjoyed our first camping expedition and will return to Pinewoods.

When we arrived we were sceptical due to the size of the site. However, we were very pleased with our pitch (The horse paddock), which seperated the static and touring caravans from the tents. the toilets were clean and the shop was well stocked with everything you needed. The beach, dunes and woodlands were all beautiful and the fact that you only had to walk for 5 minutes to get there was even better.
Overall, well worth another visit.

Large site in a good location. Shower and washing facilities clean but a bit tired. Pitces for tents rather crammed in at the far end of the site and no dividing hedges. Better for vans and statics than tents.

This was my wife’s first ever camping experience, we went with two friends and their two children also novice campers, they have visited the site before staying in one of many static caravans. The amenities, toilet and shower blocks, were clean and tidy as was the site, the water for washing and showering was hot and could not be faulted.
Although it was the end of the season there was still plenty to do around the site and nature reserve.
I feel the train to town could have continued to a later time, 5.10pm last one from Wells. However it is a pleasant walk along the sea wall.
We all had a great time and will visit at an earlier time in the year. Thoroughly recommend.
