Hunstanton Camping and Glamping

Liked The close proximity to the beach, which I suspects is why the price per night is os high.

Disliked Appearance of the while site was tatty and rundown. On entry we were welcomed with a truck loaded with rubbish, old washing machines etc, that stayed there throughout our stay. I appreciate perhaps a natural
Feel was wanted but the weeds, nettles etc were out if control. The showers were need of a complete overhaul, some were not working and that just left 2, one that had a blocked shower tray and the shower had ti be hand held, the water covered the floor and flowed out under the door !
We went off site for the day and when we got back our pitch had been reallocated, no apology made, but were reallocated another pitch, Nigel just said he gets lost as to who is where!
Whilst music playing is ok, there was no control over the volume and at some points we had 2-3 groups blasting put different music.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you appreciated the close proximity to the beach.

We are, however, deeply sorry that the overall appearance and condition of our site did not meet your expectations. Your description of the tatty and rundown appearance, the uncontrolled weeds and nettles, and the pile of rubbish is unacceptable. We are also very concerned about the issues you raised with our shower facilities, including the blocked tray, broken showers, and lack of functionality. This is a clear failure on our part, and we are investigating these issues immediately to prevent them from happening again.

We sincerely apologise for the mix-up with your pitch. This is a serious error in our booking process, and we are reviewing our procedures to ensure pitches are correctly allocated and managed. Nigel's comment was not an acceptable response, and we will be addressing this with our staff. We also apologise for the loud music, as we strive to maintain a peaceful environment for all our guests. We will be implementing stricter controls on music volume moving forward.

We understand your frustration and are truly sorry for the poor experience. Your detailed comments are invaluable as we work to make the necessary improvements to our site and services.

Liked Nigel was a pleasant chap to deal with.

Disliked Unkempt site. Nettles and weeds everywhere. Very tatty. Old rusty bin lids strewn about the site used as fire pits. Which had burnt the grass. Dirty showers. Dirty building housing the toilets of which one didn’t flush. Several occasions using the facilities no toilet paper in any cubicles or hand towels. The taps ran so slowly you could barely wash your hands or brush your teeth. The washing up facilities were two sinks on some hard core. No cover over it. Gents toilets only had one sink with running water. 3 urinals and only two worked. All this for £56.50 a night. The worst site we’ve ever been on. However good location for walking.

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're happy to hear that Nigel was a pleasure to deal with, and that you found the location good for walking.

We are, however, deeply sorry that the condition of the campsite did not meet your expectations. The issues you've highlighted regarding the unkempt site, poorly maintained facilities, and lack of basic amenities are unacceptable. This is not the standard we aim for, and we are taking your comments very seriously.

We are already investigating and addressing the problems you mentioned, including the cleanliness and functionality of the toilets and showers, the slow-running taps, and the lack of essential supplies like toilet paper and hand towels. We are also working on tidying the grounds and removing the makeshift fire pits to prevent further damage to the grass.

Your comments are invaluable in helping us identify where we need to make significant improvements. We apologize for the poor experience and the high price for what you received. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Liked The views - great sunset and rise
The location - right next to a nice walk, beach, cafe, other caravan sites.
The space
The sink for dish cleaning
How friendly the chap was

Disliked The toilets and showers were a bit rustic / dated for me so I tried to give them a miss where possible.

The entrance looked like a scrap yard
