  • Well-maintained site with excellent facilities
  • A few miles from the Norfolk coast
  • Sixteen luxury bathrooms on site with individual showers and loos
Have you ever been to the Norfolk coast? Pine-ing to return or to see it for the first time? Come and stay at Pine Cones Caravan and Camping, near King's Lynn inland and Heacham and Hunstanton on the coastline – this is such a royally good region that King Charles and his cohorts have a pad at Sandringham just a mile away. If the king were camping, it's a fairly safe bet he would like the up to date and excellently kept amenities at Pine Cones too: 16 warm luxury bathrooms, all with their own shower, toilets, basin and storage racks; a roomy, indoors washing-up area with several sinks and plenty of drainer space; and a washing machine and dryer in a separate room to sort out the laundry. Once the essentials are sorted, send the kids off to the adventure playground to try out the treehouse, rope ladders and high level walkway, and settle down in the picnic area with coffee and eats… there's a coffee machine on site and the well-stocked shop sells a good selection of items including bread, milk, and fresh and frozen food. A selection of outdoor gym equipment is also available for the energetic holidaymaker. Off site, Pine Cones is about a mile from the nearest pub the Feathers, or trot off to award-winning the Coach and Horses. Both are in nearby Dersingham village, where there's also a supermarket, takeaway and coffee shop dishing up homemade cakes daily.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (large)

Liked: Set up of campsite, very friendly and informative welcome. Professional approach. Individual bathrooms was a bonus. Even though campsite was full they were always clean and plenty of hot water. We never got.to sample the bar on site but it looked really nice. Local takeaway which delivered was nice.

Disliked: Next to a busy road but it didn't really affect us much as we were out and about both days.

Pine Views fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Same facilities and great location as usual as this is our 5th stay in 12 months.

Disliked: I arrived on Sunday for a self check in and was disappointed with the allocated pitch. Once I had managed to contact the warden I found her to be quite hostile and unfriendly to my request for an alternative pitch on the grounds that pitch 35 was not the size suitable for my unit. I was told that someone had put a 5th wheel unit in there previously so there was not a problem. I also could put a large 5th wheel unit in there but I would still not be able to use my awning. She was adamant that there was nothing else available and that was it. I said I would like to be moved if something became available the following day. There were at least 4 pitches available for the next 4 days and I was not contacted. I spoke to Martin, the manager, on the 4th day explaining my situation. He was very helpful and apologetic for my disappointment and would look into it. We spoke at length and also about pitch 35 and concluded that if it was limited to 6m long units only that there would not be a problem in the future. I did not like to complain because on this and other occasions all the other members of the team are most helpful and friendly.

Liked: It’s the 5th time we stay at pinecones and this time we got to see the new pub, which is an amazing addition to the place! All the facilities are brand new and very clean. Love the fact that it’s pet friendly and they don’t charge extra for it. Will go again soon without a doubt.

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 – after a day at Sandringham, but of course, to wave at the king first... 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 the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – bring walking boots, crabbing nets and plenty of room for picnics.
