Date of Visit: June 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Woodandco 1 review from this member

 Excellent site.

Shower/toilet blocks really nice, clean and with large private washbasin and/or shower cubicles.

Entrance to the site is no problem if you take your time and stick to the rule of departures before 1200hrs and arrivals after 1400hrs. If you are unfortunate enough to meet another caravan moving in or out at the wrong time, there are plenty of pull-ins. The sites dog walk is along Inclebouro hill and is ideal, with beautiful views of the countryside and coastline.

Places to visit - Cromer, Sherringham, Wells next the Sea, and Sherringham NT Park is a must with free electric buggies available for the less able to travel around the park - I think the best time to see all Rhododendruns and Azaleas in flower would be early to end of May.

Our only gripe, not an issue for the site, but there was no local bus stop for us to use our recently acquired bus passes. A small price to pay for a really relaxing and brilliant holiday stay.

 We have just got back from West Runton having spent 3 nights there. It is a lovely site. The showers cubicles are much bigger than any of the C&CC ones that we have visited and exceptionally clean. The site managers and helpers were ever so friendly. You can see the sea at West Runton when you walk to the top of the field (it's a 25 minute walk into West Runton. People have previously mentioned the entrance to the site, it is owned by the Norfolk Coastal Pathway people so not a fault of the C&CC but it's perfectly alright if you take your time.

Reviewer: Peteclaire 1 review from this member

 We have just spent four nights at this site the toilet blocks are large and always very clean, the staff are friendly and helpful.

There is plenty of walks so if you have a dog it will be ideal for you. The beaches are only a short drive away if you fancy a stroll on them.

Reviewer: Canvasquivers 20 reviews from this member

 Wow! Fantastic. We pitched in the gales and as the site is in a dip we were well protected. Surrounded by trees and hills what more could you wish for. When we left we had near 8 inches of Snow on the car, how exciting! it was so magical. Staff were fantastic. Loo's and showers first rate. Anyone looking for a great site this is the one to book.

Reviewer: Warrior1690 5 reviews from this member

 What a brilliant site, friendly staff, toilet and shower block that would put Hilton hotels to shame. Good walks especially to cromer and east runton. The village pub in west runton allows dogs.Yes had a enjoyable 3day stay even if the weather was atrocious.A credit to the ccc.

Reviewer: Louisadawn 3 reviews from this member

 This site is without doubt the best I've stayed at.  Made a week of solid rain almost bearable!
Toilets are immaculate and huge.
Site is grassy with one road around it.  Very  thoughtfully laid out.
Shop sells loal bread and, more importantly, cakes.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Both East and West Runton are walking distance,  North Norfolk coastal path runs alongside the site (to give you an idea of how much it rained, this was more akin to a fast flowing stream whilst we were there).  Site is well drained.
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!

Reviewer: Tom+kim 1 review from this member

 First outing with the family and new tent could have been a recipe for disaster! But our 2 girls 22 months and nearly 7 both enjoyed them selves as did us parents, friendly, clean and quiet site highly recommended, will return for sure. If going make sure you visit in no particular order Wells next to Sea, great beach, Cley, good smoke house, deli and pub and a boat trip to see the seals off Blakney point is a must.

Reviewer: The Beandalls 1 review from this member

 We have just had a great week at this site.  The shower/toilet facilities are the best we've ever experienced.  Lots of showers/toilets - all exceptionally clean.  They even have individual cubicles with wash basins for private teeth cleaning, etc.
 
As mentioned in other reviews, the track to the site is very bumpy.  On our way in on the first day, my husband had to help push a caravan on its way out up the hill which had become stuck in the mud! 
 
Our son (5 years) had a fantastic week and didn't want to leave.  He had great fun climbing the trees near our pitch and playing with the other many children camping here.
 
Would definitely use this site again if we were staying in this area.

 One word WOW!
We have just spent 6 nights at this site and it is beautiful, peaceful with excellent facilities. I have seen worse toilets in expensive hotels these were immaculate.
The 'track' down to the campsite is bumpy (as a previous reviewer mentioned) and we wondered what we would find at the end, but we need not have worried. A note about the track, as it's narrow in places, arrivals to the site have right of way after 12pm. Departures before 12pm.
There is a Morrisons supermarket on the way to Cromer.there is also a spar shop in West Runton.

Sherringham, Wells near the sea, Cromer and Clay near the sea were our favourite places to visit.
Mary Janes (sp?) chip shop in Cromer is a must for those abandoning their diets. Everything cooked in dripping and delicious! As is ' Straits' in Sherringham.
Car parking on the sea front at Cromer £3 per day fills up quickly. There is a pay and display car park near to Morrisons too.
Site shop ran out of basic food after the weekend so just bare this in mind. This is a super site.

 Superb site. We have been there for the last 4 years and the standard of the facilities are as high as we have encountered anywhere. We often leave the car and use the footpaths to access the local towns and villages including Sheringham, Cromer, East Runton and West Runton.

Reviewer: Fourgomadindorset 3 reviews from this member

 We (2 adults and kids aged 8 and 5) loved this site. Up to the usual Camping and Caravanning Club standards - especially the clean, spacious and warm loos/shower blocks with lots of basins as well. Useful to have a washer/dryer on site (more than one machine would have been ever better). Newspaper van every morning, and handy little shop for basics on site.

Beautiful site, great facilities, loads to do nearby - almost perfect. Would certainly go there again. 


Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Buscamper 2 reviews from this member

 After our last visit to Norfolk in what seemed like a kids club this was a real breath of fresh air!. Not only beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped, but an oasis of peace. West Runton is a little off the tourist trail as at first glance from the coast road the Runtons don't seem so attractive, but after this site was recommended by a friend in Sheringham we found hidden gems. East Runton beach is super.
This is a Camping & Caravan Club site so we joined on arrival. Great staff and facilities to rival your own home for cleanliness and quality! Loved the wooded backdrops and walks. Only small downside for campervanners is the long gravel drive to and from the site. No problem for caravanners or campers with separate cars, but a bit bumpy for campervans and motorhomes and all the stuff jangling about each time we left the site. ( we don't all pack as well for short journeys as the 'proper' packing for the main trek from home to site).  
Walking into West Runton isn't too much of a chore though and there is a first rate camping shop on the high street and a well stocked Spar shop.We've already booked again for July and will put bikes on the rack next time to reduce the number of journeys on and off the site. National Trust 'Roman Camp' woodland opposite the entrance is a fantastic wildlife site. One to enjoy!

Reviewer: Horsepills 1 review from this member

 This is the best site I have stayed on so far, and I enjoyed it so much we have booked to go back again in July.  Very friendly and helpful staff, lots of space for pitches, not too much noise & EXTREMELY clean shower/toilet facilities.  I was very impressed with the showers - they had plenty of them, always hot & very clean, like I say - ideal for people who like the idea of camping but get put off by horror stories of dirty/cold showers!
There's a small play area for kids, newspaper delivery via van each morning & a small shop on site.

Reviewer: Robin52 4 reviews from this member

 Just arrived home from this site and I cannot praise it highly enough. As the previous have said, the facilities are excellent but I agree with the person who said the showers were a little hot until I got used to them after a few minutes. Very friendly wardens. The beach is actually walkable from the site. I did it myself and I am not a keen walker but you wouldn't want to walk it with beach stuff but its good just for a stroll. I first joined the club at this site about 18 years ago and have been back several times since then.

Reviewer: P54jes 12 reviews from this member

 We very much enjoyed our short Easter break at this super site. The wardens were very welcoming and friendly and let us choose where we wanted to pitch. We selected a nice level pitch, as many were on a slight slope, but all appeared a good size. The toilet blocks were the largest and cleanest that we have ever seen before, with some of the showers being large enough to accommodate several family members at once, which is great if you have a young family.
 
The site is situated in a very peaceful location, the only sounds being the birds singing, and a woodpecker pecking! There are some delightful walks from the site (great for dog-owners) and we particularly enjoyed watching the sun set over the sea, although it was too far to walk all the way to the beach.
 
The entrance to the site is via a long single-track road through the woods and although there are plenty of passing bays, we were pleased not to meet anyone on our way in and out! Apparently those leaving the site before12 noon have the right of way over those arriving and vice versa, although whether everyone is aware of this, I'm not sure!
 
A man drives round the site selling newspapers every morning about 9.30am which was very welcome.There is no need to pre-order.
 
We would highly recommend this lovely site.
