Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: It was cheap so can’t expect too much.
Disliked: The site is split by a timber / scrap metal yard that was an eye sore for those in the top field and potentially dangerous for wandering children.
Site was virtually full so 3 toilets and 2 showers for well over 100 people staying was insufficient so queuing inevitable.

Liked: I had a lovely one nights stay with my two year old here. The facilities are quite basic which was absolutely fine for us as we are camping after all, shower, toilets and washing up facilities all available. The family that runs it are super friendly and Ben who I believe is the owner definitely makes sure you have everything you need. Whilst we were there over the bank holiday they hosted a big communal bonfire was a great opportunity to catch up with some other campers. We will definitely return.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Small Field and great proximity to Cromer and beach
Disliked: It seemed like they used a horses fields to accommodate extra campers and the horses were put in their stables for the entire warm weekend. Everyone was talking about it. The stables were not cleaned and one horse was regularly banging on the stable door in frustration. It put me off the hosts and I wouldn’t want to revisit in case it meant the horses were shut up again. Some other campers may have informed the RSPCA

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: There was a big bonfire that everyone was invited to. Camp fires are also allowed.
There was a burger van on site which offered discounts to campers.
The ground was flat with soft grass, so it was great for tents.
The location of the site was good - it has nearby bus stops that led to Cromer, and you can start a nice walks from the site too.
Disliked: Arrival was disorganised, there were no marked or assigned pitches so we weren't sure where to go until another camper told us you could pitch wherever you liked.
It was a bank holiday weekend and there must have been a good couple of hundred people on site, but only 4 toilets, 2 showers and a portaloo resulting in really long queues. The showers were cold and the water pressure was just a dribble.
It was really loud at night, lots of drunk people shouting and swearing until the early hours making it hard to sleep, so not ideal if you have kids.
Some bins were marked e.g. glass. but not very clearly, and most weren't marked at all so all the rubbish gets mixed up making it hard to recycle. There's also nowhere to empty chemical toilets from campervans so we saw people just dumping it into bushes.
Lots of farm machinery and scrap metal around which children could get hurt on, it just doesn't feel like a family friendly site.

Liked: Good location and having our own campfire.
Disliked: Terribly overbooked. Tents and cars were on top of each other. We spent quite some time to find a small spot and the late comers were not even as lucky as us. Lack of sufficient facilities meant long queues all the time.
Because they have no time limit for check-in/out (actually not any kind of rule) some people got in with their cars and put up their tents in the late evening, even midnight. One of them left their truck engine running for 15 minutes with headlights on. Obviously no staff was around to take notice of this; they let the cars in and don't bother about the rest. Both nights we stayed, there was lots of noise until early morning. We didn't bother to try to find someone to tell these problems the next day as we were leaving and there seemed no point in it.
The big bonfire could be nice but was too close to the tents and seemed like it was mostly for getting rid of the junk around.
