  • Well-maintained Norfolk site one mile from the Sandringham Estate
  • Within 10 minutes' drive of Hunstanton and Heacham beaches
  • Bar, adventure playground, dog-walking area and bicycle hire
Have you ever been to the Norfolk coast? Come and stay at Pine Cones Caravan and Camping, a mile from Sandringham Estate and a 10-minute drive from the beaches in Heacham and Hunstanton. At this well-maintained site, the staff aim to go out of their way to make sure that everyone's comfortable. There's something for everyone; kids tend to love the open space – teams can often be seen laughing over a game of football or other games – and spending hours on the play equipment. Meanwhile, all ages can unwind at the all-weather bar and terrace at Bens Bar, which is open at peak times for snacks, draught beer and other delicious drinks; live sports are also shown here. Dogs (up to two per booking) are very welcome and even get access to their own dedicated off-lead walking area and warm dog wash. Other on-site facilities include luxury individual bathrooms (each with a toilet, sink and shower), electric vehicle charging points and gas bottle sales. Takeaway food is served on site during peak times. At other times, simply stroll along to the two dog-friendly village pubs within walking distance. There are plenty of excellent walks and cycling paths from the site, with the Sandringham Visitor Centre only 20 minutes' walk away; hire a bicycle on site to get around quicker. Bus stops are nearby in Dersingham.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch (small)

Liked The pitches are spacious, well laid out, and the whole site has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect for a quiet break. The walking routes are excellent, and the dog‑friendly setup is a huge bonus. We really loved the setting here — it’s calm, tidy, and feels very welcoming.

We also want to say a huge thank you to the staff. After leaving, we unfortunately broke down right outside the entrance due to a snapped auxiliary belt and ended up stranded overnight waiting for recovery. The team were incredibly kind and allowed us to use some hard standing inside the gates so we had somewhere safe to stay. Their help made a stressful situation so much easier, and we’re genuinely grateful.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (large)

Liked Short walk to village which has a Co-op, 2 pubs (both good food) and a great bus service. (Well’s next the Sea, Hunstanton and Kings Lynn).
Lovely walk to Sandringham through the woods and to Snettisham nature reserve. (Site gave directions in their welcome pack).
Bit of road noise but to me not really a problem as liked being in walking distance of the village.
Showers and toilets always clean (liked the radio playing). I did think them being all in one may be an issue but no queue in time I was there.
Comfort pitch 17 with picnic hut and heater. Excellent bit of extra space as we had friends on a small pitch who joined us for bbq.
I will return to this site as there are still lots of places I would like to visit and I can do so without using the car.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch (small)

Liked Well kept organised site with good clean facilities. Site is attractive with pine trees and grassed areas. Lovely natural areas surrounding the campsite. Peaceful when I visited in early June. I would happily stay again and listen to the cuckoo calling.

Disliked A little road noise but this stopped at night and became very quiet. The off lead dog exercise area was very small. Maybe when allocating pitches during quiet periods it would be good to spread people out a bit. There were three of us on adjacent pitches and the rest almost empty. I could have gone back to reception and asked for a different pitch but it was not a major problem, just a suggestion.

Disliked Had ant Hill on our pitch. No 97. Tent was covered in ants.
The bar was closed on the sat morning and wasnt open on sunday so we didnt really get to go in. The bikes from the bike hire are definitely not mate for off road tracks.

Local attractions

Beaches, historic houses, museums and festivals, tiny villages, market towns and fab family days out are all easily accessible from Pine Cones Caravan and Camping. Within a couple of miles, the deer safaris, farming activities and walking trails of Snettisham Deer Park and the sights and smells of Norfolk Lavender are both good options for a day out; Snettisham has an RSPB reserve too for those itching to twitch. But as you're probably in west/north Norfolk for the beaches, head to Heacham, Holkham and Hunstanton first, the closest sands to Pine Cones, and then take a trip to Brancaster, 11 miles away; the family-friendly and very scenic sands of Sheringham, Cromer and Mundsley are a little further along the coast. (Also, the final scenes of Shakespeare in Love were filmed at Holkham, and all the beaches in these parts are fairly filmworthy, so bring your camera.) Other excellent options for days out include village hopping and shopping among the scenic sights of Dersingham, Holt, Fakenham, Aylsham and Burnham Market to pick up some local produce, or going along to one of Norfolk's festivals or events: there's usually something going on throughout the year. Pine Cones is also on the edge of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape – bring walking boots, crabbing nets and plenty of room for picnics.
