Liked: Quietness and pub in village!
Disliked: Being supervised whilst we set up as owner who said that ‘people are stupid’. Having caravans for over 20years, don’t appreciate being considered as ‘Stupid’. Toilets are basic - made in a shipping container…. Cold dark and no hot water in ladies. It’s a nature site so be ready for the noise of the geese!! Not a problem to us but others may find it annoying early morning.

Liked: Nice and quiet .
Disliked: The site is getting a bit scruffy . the lakes were untidy and the platoon , which would be nice to stand on was very rotten . Fallen trees in the ponds looked untidy and it all looked stagnant ! I kept my Labradors away from water (for the first time !).

Liked: Lovely peaceful site and village with the added bonus of having a large pond/lake with wildlife. The owner Suzan was very friendly and there to help. The Fox pub is just a few minutes away the food was excellent and staff very friendly and caring. There are nice walks close by and quiet roads for cycling . I like it so much I have booked a return visit next month.
Disliked: The add said there were no showers, There were showers and toilets although they were a little basic they were good enough for us

Liked: We wanted a small, quiet site and that is exactly what Utopia Paradise Caravan Park is. We were met on arrival and given the option of several pitches - we ended up on Pitch No.1 which overlooked the large lake. Handy hint - pitch up instructions say you should telephone on arrival however there is no telephone signal from the site so don't bother; the owner lives on site so just have a look around for her. We were pleasantly surprised to find there was a shower on site (despite pitch-up saying there wasn't) - apparently the owner is trying to rectify this (I believe there is a £1 charge per use). There are also two separate toilets (mens/womens) and a toilet within the shower room. All are nicely decorated and very clean. Our pitch had electric hook up option which is charged as 'pay what you use'; we stayed two nights which cost us £1.02! Another bonus was the free Wi-Fi which was very good; although it dipped out occasionally this is to be expected in such a rural location. There is a village store just a few minutes stroll from the site and also a pub - The Fox, which has good reviews. We only drank there, but the atmosphere in the beer garden was lovely. The site is approximately 3 miles from Marriotts Way, a cycle trail which runs between Aylsham and Norwich. The nearest point to join from the site was off Blackwater Lane which is pretty much in the middle of the trail. We chose to cycle to Aylsham which ended at Bure Valley Railway where we had a lovely cream tea in the Whistlestop Cafe before returning. Overall we had a wonderful couple of days and will definitely return.
