  • Wildlife haven among open fields: walk to the beach in two minutes
  • Basic and peaceful site just behind the coast path
  • Barbecues and campfires allowed; shop and pub a few minute's walk away
The splendid beach near Hunstanton Camping and Glamping (dog-friendly Heacham beach, two minutes' walk away) is the only east-coast beach in Britain facing west. This means that guests here are often treated to the sight of a spectacular sunset over the sea – a real rarity for Norfolk. As well being a romantic sunset spot, this location is also a very enticing one for watersports enthusiasts, hikers and families – plus dog owners, who are welcome to bring their pet along for a holiday and a ramble along the Norfolk coast. Hunstanton Camping and Glamping is on the edge of the village of Heacham, in a peaceful wildlife haven surrounded by open fields. It's three miles from here to Snettisham, five to Hunstanton and 10 miles to Thornham, all with dog-friendly beaches and walks aplenty, or you could feel regal for the day with a trip to Sandringham – and its woodland walking paths – within 15 minutes' drive. The site has a good selection of amenities including toilets (ladies', gents' and unisex facilities), four indoor unisex showers and a number of outdoor showers. Grey waste water disposal and chemical disposal are available for touring guests, and plug sockets in washrooms mean you can charge phones or use hairdryers easily enough. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed; a local shop a minute's walk away has most supplies you should need. There's also a pub a few minutes' walk away.

B&B 1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked: Nice quirky bed and breakfast. Rooms show a flair for thoughtful decoration. Host really friendly and helpful. 😀cost effective.

Disliked: A sock was in the corner not ours. Dog hairs were on the floor so hairy socks. Cobwebs were in the room and breakfast room. Be quick in the shower as the next person might have to shower in cold water. Don’t attempt a bath. I for my son but after a quarter full it ran cold so luke warm bath shared by all.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (large, family, four person)

Liked: Proximity to beach. Decent bathroom facilities in good working order.

Disliked: WiFi didn’t work / wasn’t instructed on check in. Not told where fire pits were, found what looked like a pile of old iron when we were packing up. Site doesn’t seem to have a shop as advertised, nor cycle hire. Pitches seemingly self select/disorganised given the strict stipulation of booking sizes. Much smaller site than anticipated from the photographs.

Liked: Hello Nigel, Thanks for a lovely place to stay. We enjoyed the 5 days at your place. The weather was a bonus and we found the site perfect for us. Easy walk into Hunstanton and Snettisham was a good walk through the wetlands plenty of birds to see. We will stay again when in that neck of the woods. Your staff were really helpful and good team. I'd give you a good 4. Linda and John

Disliked: The rain on one day.

Route directions

The site is behind the sea defences: watch out as you head towards the sea. The site is the last farm building on the left-hand side of the road. From the A149 at King's Lynn, turn left towards Heacham South Beach (Lamsey Lane). Then, turn left again towards the beach and turn left into the campsite when you can see the sea in front of you (roughly 1000 yards before the beach).

Local attractions

Nature fans rejoice, for there's birdwatching galore around here. Make for the RSPB reserve in Snettisham for flocks of birds around the Wash, or for RSPB Titchwell Marsh (20 minutes' drive) to see avocets, marsh harriers and pink-footed geese around its marshlands, reedbeds and freshwater lagoons. Titchwell has a wide sandy beach to investigate too, where scenery seekers can snap far-reaching views across the Wash. Boating and watersports are easily accessed just down the coast at Hunstanton. The town's also home to the rides of Rainbow Park fairground, and the Sea Life Sanctuary next door where you and curious kids can see seals, penguins, otters and other watery species. Other recommended options include Norfolk Lavender, five minutes' drive away at Caley Mill, and the 12th-century ruins of Castle Rising (15 minutes), one of the biggest and best preserved keeps in England.
