General
- Wildlife haven among open fields: walk to the beach in two minutes
- Basic and peaceful site just behind the coast path
- Barbecues and campfires both allowed: shop a 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.

Nice basic site in fantastic location.
From the manager...
Thank you Cindy for your great review of Hunstanton Camping & Glamping, we are so pleased that you enjoyed our brilliant location right by the beach. We have both inside and outside showers, the outside ones are for the brave at this time of year! Our wash station is under a shelter, as with most back-to-basics sites. It was a pleasure to host you at our back-to-basic, dog-friendly, campfire welcome campsite on the Norfolk Coast. We very much look forward to seeing you again soon by the beach :) |

Thank you Anthony for your great review of Hunstanton Camping & Glamping, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us by the beach. Our back to basic campsite is perfect for campervans to roll up and enjoy a coastal break. We are dog friendly and welcome campfires by your pitch. We are just 2 minutes from the beach and a short drive from the seaside town of Hunstanton, makes us perfect for a seaside break!

Tired, unloved and extortionate
From the manager...
Thank you Caroline for taking the time to leave a review, we are pleased that you enjoyed our great location. We have a back-to-the-wild campsite for campers who prefer to camp away from the manicures holiday parks. At this time of year, we do allow our native plants and grass to grow a little and refrain from too much pruning to help out the local wildlife. We very much appreciate our guest's opinions and we strive to make the changes our guests want, sometimes we miss the mark and we are sorry on this occasion our cancellation policy was not to your liking, it is available for all guests to view on our website. |

From the manager...
Thank you Bernadette for your review, we are pleased that you enjoyed our great location just a 2 minute walk from Heacham South Beach and in close proximity to Snettisham, Wild Ken Hill and Hunstanton. We are a back to basic campsite, and with the season now coming to a close we are letting out grass grow out for the local wildlife. We price ourselves on cleanliness and we are sorry for your experience, we hope that the issue was reported right away for our housekeeping team to amend. It was a pleasure to host you and although you will not visit us again, we hope that you enjoyed the Norfolk Coast :) |

Neglected wasteland with no highlights
From the manager...

Disappointing, was pretty much like camping at a dump
From the manager...
Thank you Ross for taking the time to leave a review, we are so pleased that you loved our great location here right by the beach. We are ideally located for exploring the Norfolk Coast and beyond and have great transportation links close by. The seaside town of Hunstanton, the Royal Sandringham Estate and BBCs Wild Ken Hill are all easy to get to from Hunstanton Camping & Glamping. We are sorry to here that you found our nature-friendly campsite to be untidy, we do not promote manicured lawns that do not give back tot eh eco system. We hope that any cleanliness issues were reported to housekeeping as they would have been dealt with swiftly of course :) |

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.
