  • 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.

What customers say

Punters rave about the top staff, awesome showers with tunes, and heaps of space. Great spot for a wander or checking out sights, and dogs are welcome. A bit of road noise and app-controlled power. Ben's Bar and takeaways are a hit. Loads of folks are keen to come back.

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and particularly liked our private shower facilities, Ben’s Bar and the Friday and Saturday food. It’s also lovely to hear that our team looked after you so well.

Liked The bar onside....when it was open!
Pitches were a good size with enough room in-between. Staff very friendly.

Disliked The bar was only open 1 night of our stay. It was a busy evening....so I cant understand when they dont open for more days.
The shower/ toilet block was clean but it felt a little 'tired'

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your 9/10 review and for your lovely comments about our spacious pitches and friendly team. We’re also pleased you enjoyed Ben’s Bar when it was open.

Our bar opening hours do vary depending on the time of year and level of demand, and we appreciate that guests would sometimes like to see it open more frequently. It’s always helpful to receive this feedback, particularly when we’re reviewing our opening hours for future seasons.

We’re pleased you found the bathroom facilities clean. In terms of their appearance, the facilities have deliberately been designed to be in keeping with Pinecones and our natural surroundings. We don’t try to achieve a modern, minimalist look; instead, we prefer features such as the natural stone floors and brick walls, combined with modern fittings and individual private bathrooms. We appreciate that style is very much a matter of personal taste, but we feel this more traditional, natural finish suits the character of the site.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Pinecones in the future.

Best wishes,
Martin

Sandy Acres powered grass and sand site (small)

Liked Showers. Bar (the one evening it was open.)

Disliked I booked a grass pitch for a tent. The pitch had a flat area. But this area had been top dressed with chippings that you would usually see being used to resurface roads! To say this ruined my stay is an understatement. Moving about in my tent was most uncomfortable on my knees. Trying to sleep equally uncomfortable. Other grass pitches were also top dressed in this way. Finally this site is next to a somewhat noisy road.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very sorry to hear that your pitch was not up to our usual standard, and we sincerely apologise that this had such a negative impact on your stay.

We do kindly ask guests that, if they are unhappy with their pitch for any reason, they come up to reception and let us know. We will always do our very best to help, whether that means finding an alternative pitch that you would prefer or looking at another solution to make your stay more comfortable. We are here to help, and we would have been very happy to discuss this with you during your stay.

Regarding the road noise, this is something we are aware of. We have recently planted a further 100 conifers to help reduce the impact, although being conveniently located close to the bypass does mean that some road noise is unfortunately unavoidable.

We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the showers and bar, and we really appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to improve.

We are glad that you generally like Pinecones including the showers and bar.

Thank you for your review!

All of the above, didn't stop us enjoying our stay and we will return.

Pine Views fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (small)

Liked Water point near, easy to use electric hook up, good showers, nice looking bat(didn't use), like the different benches, shelters on each pitch. Great walks and information from reception.

Disliked Unfortunately, road noise, but only during the day, a little challenging getting across the bypass. Maybe a little more lighting around the shower block, I know there are signs saying use a torch, but it would help a little.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you again soon. Thank you for the lighting suggestion!

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.
