What customers say
Spacious sites, great facilities & a lakeside cafe are highlights. Usually clean & friendly, with a good playground. Some noted busy-period washroom cleanliness, occasional cool showers, and pitch signage needs improvement. Access/parking also had minor gripes.

A great site on the whole, we’d definitely return.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely bar area overlooking the small lake. Great selection of cakes and drinks.
A very dark site so if the weather is on your side you have incredible views of the stars.
Disliked The toilet / showers whilst very clean, had absolutely no real ventilation meaning various smells were quite bad and lingered for an extended period.
Also, as other people have commented the pitches are very close together.

Liked Lovely pitch. Toilets, showers and washing up all easily accessible and clean. Cafe and kids play area are lovely. Lots to do nearby. We rented kayaks and paddle boards and Ohana Adventure near Wroxham and also did a boat tour from Wroxham. Yarmouth beach also lovely.

Great stay over 3 nights in a charming area and great food
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Facilities were good and the cafe having outside food vendors gave variety of you didn't want to cook at reasonable prices. Good food and drink had by all.
Disliked Not sure if there was supposed to be WiFi but there was none and it was only a backup with little phone signal.

An absolutely beautiful site with outstanding facilities!
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This was our first camping trip and we absolutely loved it! The toilet facilities were kept constantly clean, and the showers with the adjoining changing cubical was ideal. The staff were amazing! They were always available to help if required (we didn’t need any assistance, but watched them rally round and help our neighbour set up). There was also an incident with a drunk man on our first night which was swiftly and professionally dealt with, and the family were removed from the site the next morning.
The cafe area was beautiful - The food options initially appeared basic, but were actually of a very high standard and absolutely delicious (for the grown ups). My two children enjoyed the milkshakes and loved the secure play area as well as the goal were they spent most of their time playing. None of us wanted to leave!!
Disliked The children’s food options at the cafe were limited, if non existent. Fortunately we had bought along enough food from home that it wasn’t a problem, but the only thing in the cafe suitable for our 6 yr old was a sausage bap or a cheese toastie (which needed to be modified from the listed menu option).

Not great at all…
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked I’ve tried really hard to find something positive about this site but honestly can’t.
Disliked Showers are freezing cold.
The path to and from the showers is mulch and dirt so after you’ve had a freezing cold shower you get dirty again instantly.
The pitches are tiny and you get hardly any room. No level ground either
The “cafe” is absolutely extortionate. The pizza van isn’t fit for purpose. We waiting 1 hour 40 minutes for a garlic bread…
The staff at the cafe seem like they’d rather be anywhere else than there.
The fishing lake ( if that’s what you want to call it ) was that weedy it’s impossible to fish. There’s no actual pegs to fish from…. If your planning on fishing I wouldn’t bother
The road into the site is full of pot holes and throws the van all over
The WiFi doesn’t work and there’s absolutely zero mobile signal
Let’s just say it isn’t great..
