  • Small tourer site adjacent to a restaurant in Little Snoring, Norfolk
  • Cromer Beach 35 minutes’ drive; Sandringham Estate 25 minutes
  • Level pitches with no-frills facilities; shops five minutes’ drive
Liking the idea of a restaurant a few steps away from your tourer pitch? Your luck’s in at The Olive Tree Bistro Camp Site, found in the sweetly named Norfolk village of Little Snoring. Simply arrive, park up and decamp to the bistro fronting the pitches, and you’re all set for a relaxed meal of Mediterranean-inspired dishes and tapas sharing plates – accompanied by a decent list of wines and beers too. The bistro, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, is popular so guests should book a table during busy periods. It's open between 11.45am and 8pm from Tuesday to Thursday, and from 11.45am to 5pm on Sundays. On Friday and Saturday, it's open from 11.45 am to 10pm. So, that’s food taken care of. What about the practicalities? Well, the site is a doddle to get to as it’s off the A148 between King’s Lynn and Cromer. Access is easy thanks to the width of the entrance gate, and the pitches are a mix of grass and gravel on a level field. Facilities are simple, stretching to a small toilet block with electric showers, a covered washing-up sink and drinking water on tap. On warmer days, you can eat outside at the picnic tables, and if you need more supplies of groceries, there are a couple of supermarkets in Fakenham (five minutes’ drive). The dog-lovers among you will be pleased to read that your pets are welcome on site too.

Sarah B.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Conveniently placed as we needed a stopover after we went to the Thursford Christmas spectacular which was less than 10 mins drive away.
It was a level pitch with plenty of space and a picnic table. We were given a key for toilets/shower which were clean and working.
Owner really friendly and helpful. The Bistro looked lovely as welcoming. We had drinks but didn't eat, although other customers were saying how nice their food was. Only stayed one night as a stopover but it would be a lovely site well placed for visiting north Norfolk for a longer period. We would definitely consider returning if in the area.

Disliked Nothing
Although it's worth mentioning that the Bistro closes at 8pm each evening and is shut Monday and Tuesday.

DEREK C.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked VERY CLEAN SITE,NOT A COMPAINT BUT IF SITE WAS FULL TOILETS AND SHOWER WOULD STRUGGLE A BIT, SITE NOT AS BIG AS IT LOOKS. IT'S REALLY A SITE FOR TOURING AS THERE'S NOWHERE TO WALK NEARBY, PUB IS REALLY NICE AND FOOD GREAT

Disliked OWNER / LANDLORD A RIGHT MISERY, BUT THATS MOST PUBLICANS (MUST BE THE JOB)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I would just like to say thank you for your kind words about the campsite and bistro, although I draw the line at being personally attacked in public, if it wasn't for all the miserable landlords around the country people like you would have no where to rest your opinionated head. the comments are for the visitors to comment on the campsite facilities and bistro, not personally attack people. Many thanks the miserable landlord.

Suited us we were there just the one night.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked A small but neat and tidy site. Easy access from the A148, especially for us as this was our first trip in our new motor home. Adults only too. Level pitch with electric hook up.
Having the bistro on hand is a definite bonus and we had a very good evening meal.

Disliked Slight traffic noise from the main road, but you can’t have everything. We couldn’t find a tv signal or Wi-Fi but as we only stayed one night it didn’t really matter.

Local attractions

The site is well-situated for jaunts along the North Norfolk coastline. Popular beaches include Sheringham (25 minutes’ drive), good for rock pooling with the kids on its swathe of golden sand. Cromer (35 minutes) is the spot for watersports, food stalls and walks along the Victorian pier, while Salthouse Beach (25 minutes) is a dog-friendly pebbled expanse where you can sometimes spot egrets and marsh harriers. If the weather’s not looking so good, head straight for Thursford Steam Museum (five minutes), with a heady mix of gaily painted carousels, steam engines and barrel organs that should keep the kids happy for hours. When the clouds disappear again, you can get rid of any pent-up energy go-karting through woodland, tree climbing and completing obstacle courses at ExTREEme Adventure (20 minutes). If you fancy a bet, Fakenham Racecourse (10 minutes) has meetings all year round. And as horse racing is the sport of kings, perhaps you’d like to see how our present monarch lives? Take a trip to Sandringham Estate (25 minutes) to tour sumptuous apartments in the stately royal residence, and have a wander through parkland designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe in the 1940s.
