  • Family-friendly Norfolk coast site with views of beach and salt marsh
  • A 10-minute drive to Wells-next-the-Sea; 15 minutes to Holkham Hall
  • Next to the coast path, a short walk from Stiffkey shop and pub
Set off to the north Norfolk coast and a splendid Stiffkey location set between the saltmarshes and the beach – High Sand Creek Campsite has been a popular seaside retreat since the early 1970s, and with a location like this it’s easy to see why… Book a pitch here and you’ll be staying right by the coastal path on the edge of the pretty village of Stiffkey, between Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea. It’s all big skies, wildlife-rich saltmarsh views and natural entertainment around here, with plenty of woodlands and creeks to explore as well as some gorgeous beaches. The site’s setup is a traditional one, with handy amenities like toilets, showers, chemical disposal, a launderette and a washing-up area but no noisy entertainment or fancy facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome, and there’s plenty of space on the pitches to get set up just how you like it. Getting out to explore should be straightforward from here, with things like Morston seal-spotting trips and the fabulous beach at Holkham within easy reach. There's also a little maritime museum on site to tell you a little bit about the history of the place. The edge-of-village location is a handy bonus here as well, as it means it’s just a short walk to the local pub (serving food all day), a shop and a café, plus bus stops for picking up Coasthopper services to other destinations along the shoreline.

From the manager: thankyou for your feedback has you have stated yes it is cheaper and much easier to book directly where you can even choose your own pitch, we often run discount promotions on our website and you can amend your own booking through customer login. sorry you missed out on our promotion it always pays to be a little more patient and do the research

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: As it is advertised as a basic site I got a very warm welcome the site and facilities were very clean. Water and electric hook up were modern and up to date. Being we went in April should have taken boots to get to beach but then wells next to see is not far away. The pubs Warham Horse Shoes and Binham Chequers recommended

Local attractions

Coastal antics are likely to dominate much of your time here – top highlights locally are the colourful beach huts and seafood restaurants of Wells-next-the-Sea (10 minutes’ drive), the sweeping forest-backed sands of Holkham beach (15 minutes) and boat trips from Morston Quay (15 minutes) to see the resident seals of Blakeney. While you’re at the coast, it’s very much worth stopping by at Holkham Hall (15 minutes) to stroll around the grounds or visit the hall’s art collection. Other historic buildings nearby include the atmospheric ruins of Binham Priory (10 minutes) and the Jacobean mansion Blickling Hall (35 minutes). A different take on the past awaits at Langham Dome (five minutes), which gives an insight into life on an airfield through World War II. Sticking to the outdoor scenery, perhaps you’d like to take walks through Holt Country Park (20 minutes) or the gorgeous grounds of National Trust - Sheringham Park (25 minutes). For an easier way to see your surroundings, try a ride on the North Norfolk Railway from Holt station (20 minutes).
