What customers say
This is a quiet, simple site with basic facilities, including portaloos and a water tap. Pitches are level. While some guests found it a little expensive for what it offers, others appreciated its peaceful nature and proximity to walking routes. A shop and cafe are a 25-minute walk away, with a bus stop 1 mile distant providing access to coastal towns. Friendly help from staff was noted.

Excellent site.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The location and space were perfect for what we required, and we were really lucky with the weather. We were free to pitch the tent in a spot of our choosing. The campsite is a field on a working farm, but was very peaceful and quiet.
Disliked We spoke to a farmer whilst there, this is their first year of using the field for camping - nothing to dislike, but could incorporate showers moving forward?

Liked The peace and quiet here is fantastic. Gorgeous rolling countryside, with the sweet sounds of livestock. We took bikes and stumbled across the Stiffkey Stores, an amazing little artisan shop, selling groceries, coffee, teas and tasty pastries. We then continued to cycle 5 mins more and came across The Red Lion pub, fab little pub. Food smelt amazing. If you want simple, this is the site for you.
Disliked Only 2 open porta-loos on the site. Not a problem when the site is not overly busy but could be unpleasant.

Liked Great little campsite with the bare minimum of facilities... just how we like it. Proper camping. A field, water and some loo's in a beautiful part of the country. Ideal for walks along the North Norfolk coast.

Very very quiet but close to coast.

Disliked If they can have portaloos they could manage porta showers, would love to see that for future.
