Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked When we went the site was extremely quiet, very easy access to pitches, very good clean shower and toilet facilities, reception very helpful. Pitches very spacious as well. Really interesting being on a racecourse. Bus services from Fakenham to go for days out if you don’t have a car . Excellent WiFi.
Disliked Showers too powerful and wet all your clothes and towel so you need to leave outside the cubicle, not sure if this would work when busy.
