We had asked for large serviced pitches and got exactly what we asked for right by all the facilities, toilet block and shop etc.
There were plenty of toilets and although the site busy as bank holiday weekend and half term, we had to wait occasionally for a shower but this was not really an issue. There was also a number of sinks in cubicles if you wanted a wash in private, nice idea. They were not spotless but with the amount of users it wasn't 'dirty' and I saw the cleaners a number of times coming in and out checking toilet paper etc.
The shop was well stocked and the free range eggs were gorgeous and reasonably priced, I also had to purchase gloves for the family (typical British weather) and these were reasonable too.
The site is large and the large play area for the children was great, we walked along the cliff tops into west runton beach which was lovely and Cromer was a 5/10 minute drive, which is also lovely - we have visited many times.
My only criticism, is the lack of any sort of flexibility with check out, we had to have our pitch clear by 10. 30am which I think is a little early, and when I asked if we could stay on later if they didn't have anyone coming on, they didn't check they just said point blank 'no it is a strict 10. 30 leave time' - very minor but having had flexibility on other smaller sites I found this a bit impersonal. Having said this it would not stop me using again.
My partner (41) and I (30) have just returned from our visit to cromer, norfolk. We stayed for three nights on this caravan and camping site. We cannot praise the site enough, its staff, facilities, location and visitors were all fantastic and made our break what it was.
The site was constantly clean and we retired each night to peace and quiet despite the site being booked to capacity, the pitches were good sizes (we had a standard serviced pitch, larger are available). The showers and family bathrooms were spotless each time we used them. Staff on reception and in the shop were very helpful and did their utmost to answer any queries we had.
The on site park, mini golf, wildlife area, table and court tennis will be great and much used when we definitely return next year with our children, 10/10 I would recommend to any one!
We booked a extra large pitch with electric and it was huge
The site is quite large but was very quiet
The shop was well stocked and was not too overly priced like a lot of places we have visited.
The toilets given the size of the site were kept very clean
The site is well placed for cromer and sherringham and the rest of norfolk. Easy access to the beach, two minutes in the car or a mile walk along the cliff top or if you are feeling very brave/insane there was a direct path down the cliff face (not for the faint hearted)
Two very nice pubs in east runton and a very nice chippy (expect to queue!). The greek restaurant is also worth a visit as well.
There is plenty for the kids with a large play park and a massive field to burn off excess energy, also table tennis, giant chess, draughts and crazy golf, although there is a small charge for some of these. The campsite also puts on activity's for the kids with evening moth walks, to birds of prey displays. I found the rock pooling / archaeology trip great fun and very interesting.
The only negative points I could come up with was the 10am check out as my tent wasn't fully dry when packing up, also if your pitch is at the side of the main road I could imagine that it could be a little noisy however this didn't affect us where we were pitched. Finally one small gripe was there were no real paths between pitches to the bins meaning some campers cut through pitches to get to bins/water points or face a lengthy walk round. These three negatives are just me nitt picking but I feel worth mentioning but overall this is a brilliant site and definitely worth a visit. We will certainly be returning.
Our first stay at woodhill, firstly I have to say this campsite was very nice, clean and the facilities in general were better than I expected. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the location was perfect. We had a large pitch with hook-up.
The only complaints I had were minor but did make a big difference to us having a long stay, At the time of booking we were told our pitch was near to the disabled facilities and even emailed a map to show us how close. This seemed fine, on arrival we pitched our tent and went to check them out only to find we had been placed near to the regular shower/toilet block. I'd recommend checking before pitching. It was busy being school holidays but on the whole quiet except for a few inconsiderate people.
The only other niggles would be the pitches not having a physical boundary so people (usually a lot at a time) cut through our pitch at all times of the day and night, this didn't stop after we had enclosed the pitch with windbreaks and they would walk straight through while you were sat having a BBQ, so we didn't like the lack of privacy, this would annoy our dog too, fortunately she doesn't tend to bite but you never know, constant worry isn't what you want on holiday.
If these minor things were rectified we probably would go back to woodhill. Oh the one other thing was all toilet blocks were closed for cleaning at the same time.
The shop stocked the essentials, the laundry room was good if a little expensive. And the sea view was superb. There is a good bus service (which takes dogs) running up and down the coast with the bus stop right at the entrance.
And with regards to the disabled shower room it was large with a toilet and basin, good for wheelchair users and the site was slightly sloping. If you do need these facilities I would suggest taking a radar key with you as you leave a deposit for a key and they only have so many on site and I'm not sure what they would do if they were all out.
Great campsite my new Norfolk hub when I next go. Toilets clean with shiny sinks and taps. Family shower rooms where good to. Great walks in surrounding towns and villages or regular bus from out side site.
The coast Road could be heard but this did not bother me as it was not very busy and I will sleep through anything. Great sunrise get up early walk to the beach find a rock to sit on and enjoy it also you can watch it set over the sea there too We sat on some straw bails with a cyder in the large playing field the had as the sun went behind the wash.
I could not fault this campsite may I could fault some campers that should know the unwritten rule of camping is not to walk through other peoples pitch and have the cheek to say morning when intruding on my groggy time with morning face, gruffly voice and everything. Maybe the campsite could asked guest to stay on the paths.
Overall great place will go back hopefully soon very well priced great helpful staff.
Well what can I say, Fantastic location, beautiful sunrise to the right of the sight, look left in the evening and fabulous sunsets, very quiet site,
Most campers tucked up by 10ish even on a really warm evening.
Dare the cliff fall to the beach, approx 5 mins, or the cliff walk to beach 15mins, Beach so safe, tide out there is rockpooling, but tide in, just pure sand, just right for sandcastles.
Shop has everything needed, just the down side they didn't open until 9 even in peak season, so I would drive into Sherringham about 3 miles to collect fresh bread and breakfast, both the bakers and butchers open at 6am approx,
The biggest complaint when talking to other was the late opening of the shop, this could cause a huge queue waiting, when driving out of the site I was with 3 or 4 other cars doing what I was, so please campsite wardens pick up on this!
Only needed to visit reception once and they were knowledgeable and helpful, Will book for a month next year!
Beautiful site, well located for beach, cliff top walk to a very good pub (village inn) at West Runton, brilliant site for kids with good play areas and brilliant dog walking field.
Toilets kept in good/clean condition. This was our second visit to the site and we will definitely be going back.
Only one thing I would change and that is the 10am time to vacate the pitch, should be an hour later as 10am does not give the tent time to fully dry out.
We have just returned from a two night break at Woodhill. We were in a motor-home and our friend in a tent with a dog.
The location was good, there was a nice walk to Sheringham and West Runton along the cliff top, and East Runton and Cromer were even closer in the other direction.
The site also were offering cycle hire at a very reasonable £10 per day. Although we didn't need to use it we did feel it was a good service at a good price.
We used the on site facilities, and they were always clean and plenty of hot water was available in the showers.
The shop was well stocked with food, drink ice creams and other camping items, all at a decent price.
We really didn't like the fact that there were no obvious walk ways through the site. We lost count of the amount of times that people walked right across our pitch. They didn't even attempt to keep to the side of our pitch, often they walked in between our outside living area and the motor-home. We don't have an awning so we had the tables and chairs set up 6 foot or so away from our MH door. We had children running across and parents walking through - not even batting an eyelid that we were sat outside eating, and they passed within a foot of where we were sat!
Although some of this can be attributed to bad camping etiquette, it was almost encouraged by the pitches literally being on top of each other with no walkways whatsoever. Other than the road - which I can understand parents not wanting their children to walk along, there wasn't really any other way for people to get about!
We were pitched on a serviced pitch and the pitch size was enormous. We did feel that they could afford to make the pitches a tad smaller but then be able to allow a proper walkway so people didn't have to walk right through your living space.
When we booked we were told that we would have a serviced pitch which included water, electric and drainage. When we arrived we were told this wasn't the case. We were not advised on arrival where the motor-home service point was, or even that there was one, so on our departure we spent a long time negotiating the tight area that we advised to use. Then when we found the chemical disposal point (we had to ask 3 different members of staff where this was) we saw a proper French style service point.
For my partner and I in the van, we found the site reasonable in price, considering we were there at peak time. My friend in the tent had to pay more than us per night, despite being in a small 2 man tent with no electric. She had to pay £3. 50 per night for her dog, which we found quite excessive really.
The site was quiet at night but we were woken both mornings at between 5 and 6 am by inconsiderate parents letting their children play loudly right outside our pitch, despite there being a large separate area for children to play, and numerous signs saying ball games not permitted near pitches.
Overall the site was ok for our requirements on this trip- ie location near to Cromer and Sheringham, and facilities for our friend in the tent. We wouldn't use the site again though, or recommend it to our friends, as we know of far superior sites in the area, that on this occasion we couldn't get onto because they were fully booked.
This was a lovely site to stay at. We stayed for 9 nights in a 5 man family tent (Hi Gear Mojave 5).
The pitches are of an adequate size and able to take our quite large tent (along with porch extension) and family car (7 seater).
The beaches are close by with just a short 10-15 minute walk to either East or West Runton.
The campsite is close to both Cromer and Sheringham. Both being an easy walk away.
The site is conveniently close to East Runston which has too great old pubs, both serving food. An excellent chip shop and Greek restaurant.
The shop on site opened and closed at inconvenient times for us, 9am-5pm which didn't help with my requirement for a bacon butty at 7 in the morning. There are shops close by in the villages but would have been nice for the shop to be open when we needed it.
There was no facility for freezing your own cooler packs. The only option was to purchase/rent packs from the shop.
Laundry tokens were charged at £4. Remember to take your own washing powder. The on-site shop only sells boxes and not individual sachets of powder so it can get expensive. The dryer only runs for 15 minutes and didn't get the wash very dry. The dryer is charged in addition to the washer.
Showers are free but there is no heat control and I found them to be too hot. I was not able to stand under the shower for more than a few seconds at a time.
The toilets and cleaning areas were very clean. Saw people walking around and cleaning them all through the day.
The site has a great adventure play area for the kids which also includes a small pitch and put and table tennis as well as having football nets. A safe place for the kids to go play. The shop sells table tennis kits. The one we bought had the rubber falling off. When we went back to the shop they said this was an issue that they knew about and gave us a new set and let us keep the faulty set as well.
The site puts on events for the kids such as falconry and rock pooling. The rock pooling was excellent with a very knowledgeable person guiding us and telling us what to look for and about the things that we had found.
We did have a couple of nights where there was a party of people camping and had an event tent where they stayed up talking well past midnight which kept us awake in an otherwise lovely and peaceful site. They left after a couple of days and peace was restored.
Awful site. Very uneven ground. No lighting. Easy to drive past, needs road sign.
Washing Facilities not clean and very few of them for such a large site. Would not recommend this site to anyone in fact I'd do the opposite.
The Beach nearby is nice is the only possible positive thing I could say. Not all of us have young children so an area set aside for adults only would be an improvement.
Didn't seem to have any security entering the site, anyone can just drive straight onto the site.
Although this is a clifftop site, it's impossible to see the sea through the bushes, the site itself is a bit squashed in and only 3 showers for the whole campsite and even then they were cold.
The site is relatively clean.
Luckily we were no where near the main A road and felt sorry for those that were! As the pitches there literally back onto the road.
Other than that the staff were friendly and I did enjoy my stay but I will only be returning as a last resort.
This site is in a great location. Close to a very safe beach with rockpools, stones and sand. Something for everyone!
However. Talk about squished on like sardines! I felt that this site had no character. Personal taste I suppose but I like a little bit of character at a campsite, trees, a view etc. All we could see was cars, tents and caravans. There was no view of the sea apart from up a hill, which does give great sunset views on a nice day.
Saying that. Great play area although a fair bit of litter by the end of the day. Falconry was good. My boys got to hold the little owl which they loved!
We used the laundry as we had been away for a couple of weeks already and have 2 scruffy boys! Got there at 9 in the morning and was able to get a machine. £4 though! ouch!
The other odd thing. Showers are in a separate block to everything else, even the hairdryer!
Really liked the site. Well kept, clean and tidy. The family showers were lovely and hot with good pressure. The older block with showers were not so good, just a luke warm dribble really.
Good facilities on the site, shop, laundry. Location was good, close to Sherringham one way and Cromer the other.
The meadow walk was lovely. The pitch size I found generous. (we have quite a big tent).
It was quite windy and exposed on the site but I suppose you would expect that being on a cliff top close to the coast. I would return to this site and would recommend this site to others.
This large site is situated between a very busy road and the cliffs near East Runton. The plots are a nice size but the rows are close together giving a feeling of being on top of one and other.
You cannot get to the beach off of the site and have to walk along the cliff top towards West Runton approximately 1/2 mile or about the same in the other direction towards East Runton along side the road, there is a foot path. Once you get to East Runton you can walk into Cromer along the beach or along the road. Cromer is approximately 2 miles from the site. There are shops and public houses in East Runton, West Runton and Cromer.
There is a small shop on site that is quite well stocked. A very good play area for the children and the shower/toilet block near the reception was clean and tidy but it would have been better if you could adjust the water temperature on the shower as I found it a little hot.
For me personally I felt the site could have had a few less plots and then there could have been more walk ways between rows as people would rather walk between the plots than go to the end of their row and down the road, sometimes walking right past a window or door. Someone did walk into our open window and we were right in the middle of our plot. Also I was disappointed that there was not a better view.
We picked this site mainly because of its proximity to the coast. It's a quiet site (provided you are away from the road - worth checking when you book) and has good hot showers and toilets, although I did hear comments about cool water in the family block in the morning.
It slopes slightly in parts but we didn't find that a problem and many people were using the usual wheel levellers to deal with it.
There is a well-stocked shop, and the main shops are less than 2 miles away in Cromer and Sheringham. There are excellent sea views, but this can be a windy site (that's true of of a lot of coastal site though). Note that there is no direct access to the beach from the site.
The beaches all along this stretch of coast are anything from 10 to 40 metres or so down from the top of the cliff, and the nearest beach (West Runton) is a half-mile walk away. It can be accessed by road too from West Runton.
There is good step and ramp access to all of the beaches. If you like car boots there seemed to be one every day, almost, on the stretch of road between Cromer and Sheringham, and both towns have a good range of shops.
