  • Wildlife haven in west Norfolk: walk to the beach in two minutes
  • Basic and peaceful site next to the Norfollk Coast Path
  • Barbecues and campfires allowed; shop and pub a few minute's walk away
The splendid beach near Hunstanton Camping and Glamping (dog-friendly Heacham beach, two minutes' walk away) is the only east-coast beach in Britain facing west. This means that guests here are often treated to the sight of a spectacular sunset over the sea – a real rarity for Norfolk. As well being a romantic sunset spot, this location is also a very enticing one for watersports enthusiasts, hikers and families – plus dog owners, who are welcome to bring their pet along for a holiday and a ramble along the Norfolk coast. Hunstanton Camping and Glamping is on the edge of the village of Heacham, in a peaceful wildlife haven surrounded by open fields. It's three miles from here to Snettisham, five to Hunstanton and 10 miles to Thornham, all with dog-friendly beaches and walks aplenty, or you could feel regal for the day with a trip to Sandringham – and its woodland walking paths – within 15 minutes' drive. The site has a good selection of amenities including toilets (ladies', gents' and unisex facilities), four indoor unisex showers and a number of outdoor showers. Grey waste water disposal and chemical disposal are available for touring guests, and plug sockets in washrooms mean you can charge phones or use hairdryers easily enough. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed; a local shop a minute's walk away has most supplies you should need. There's also a pub a few minutes' walk away.

What customers say

Great spot, short walk to the beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Basic but clean facilities, though some say they need upgrades. Campfires okay, peaceful vibe. Some found it busy with tight pitches.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Love the location a couple of minutes from the seafront, the owner was very friendly and approachable, loved to see the owls that are on site with their keeper, read some very poor reviews about this place but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our dogs, hot clean showers toilets with toilet roll and hand washing facilities, a basic site but had everything we needed on our must have list, not a bad word to say really

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you would highly recommend us to your friends and that you are already planning to visit us again. It is fantastic to know that you loved our incredible location and found it so close to the beach.

It brings us great joy to know you left with absolutely nothing to dislike! Thank you again for your kind support. We are already looking forward to welcoming you and your dog back to the coast for another wonderful break!

An acceptable campsite but well over priced for what you get

 Peter D. 1 review

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, solo, no cars)

Liked The site is a few minutes walk from the nearest bus stop (buses going to Hunstanton, King's Lynn, Wells Next The Sea, Walsingham). Also just a few hundred metres from the sea.

Disliked Unfortunately the site has a not very transparent pricing policy and seem to make up rates as they go along, certainly you will pay more than the "prices from" rates advertised.
Shower and toilet facilities are basic, with many of them not working. On my visit only two showers were working for the whole site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. We are absolutely delighted that you loved our brilliant location, being just a few hundred metres from the sea and a few minutes' walk from the nearest bus stop with great connections to Hunstanton, King's Lynn, Wells-next-the-Sea, and Walsingham. It is wonderful to know that our convenient transport links and close proximity to the beach enhanced your visit. However, we are very sorry to hear about your negative experience regarding our booking rates and the condition of our amenities. We take your detailed feedback regarding our pricing transparency and the operational status of the toilet and shower facilities very seriously. We will take all of this information on board as we look to improve our pricing clarity and onsite facilities to give a much better experience for our future guests. Thank you again for your visit, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.

Power optional grass campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked Very friendly staff. Shop 5 minute walk from site. Lovely pub 10 minutes walk away.

Disliked The toilet / shower facility's could have been much better, for the amount of use they get a cleaner should be in cleaning at least once a day.
The hose pipe outside the kitchen arena/toilets needs moving as multiple times there was a huge puddle infront of the toilets.

The site is behind the sea defences: watch out as you head towards the sea. The site is the last farm building on the left-hand side of the road. From the A149 at King's Lynn, turn left towards Heacham South Beach (Lamsey Lane). Then, turn left again towards the beach and turn left into the campsite when you can see the sea in front of you (roughly 1000 yards before the beach).

Local attractions

Nature fans rejoice, for there's birdwatching galore around here. Make for the RSPB reserve in Snettisham for flocks of birds around the Wash, or for RSPB Titchwell Marsh (20 minutes' drive) to see avocets, marsh harriers and pink-footed geese around its marshlands, reedbeds and freshwater lagoons. Titchwell has a wide sandy beach to investigate too, where scenery seekers can snap far-reaching views across the Wash. Boating and watersports are easily accessed just down the coast at Hunstanton. The town's also home to the rides of Rainbow Park fairground, and the Sea Life Sanctuary next door where you and curious kids can see seals, penguins, otters and other watery species. Other recommended options include Norfolk Lavender, five minutes' drive away at Caley Mill, and the 12th-century ruins of Castle Rising (15 minutes), one of the biggest and best preserved keeps in England.
