  • Well-maintained Norfolk site one mile from the Sandringham Estate
  • Within 10 minutes' drive of Hunstanton and Heacham beaches
  • Bar, adventure playground, dog-walking area and bicycle hire
Have you ever been to the Norfolk coast? Come and stay at Pine Cones Caravan and Camping, a mile from Sandringham Estate and a 10-minute drive from the beaches in Heacham and Hunstanton. At this well-maintained site, the staff aim to go out of their way to make sure that everyone's comfortable. There's something for everyone; kids tend to love the open space – teams can often be seen laughing over a game of football or other games – and spending hours on the play equipment. Meanwhile, all ages can unwind at the all-weather bar and terrace at Bens Bar, which is open at peak times for snacks, draught beer and other delicious drinks; live sports are also shown here. Dogs (up to two per booking) are very welcome and even get access to their own dedicated off-lead walking area and warm dog wash. Other on-site facilities include luxury individual bathrooms (each with a toilet, sink and shower), electric vehicle charging points and gas bottle sales. Takeaway food is served on site during peak times. At other times, simply stroll along to the two dog-friendly village pubs within walking distance. There are plenty of excellent walks and cycling paths from the site, with the Sandringham Visitor Centre only 20 minutes' walk away; hire a bicycle on site to get around quicker. Bus stops are nearby in Dersingham.

What customers say

Spacious, serviced pitches, many with picnic tables, some heated huts. Praised bar, meals, spotless washrooms, nice piped music. Very dog-friendly with walks/washing. Friendly, helpful staff. Mostly positive, but some mention road noise, drainage in heavy rain, and electricity meters.

Robert C.

Pine Views FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Good location

Disliked The new electric meters took £8 straight out of my bank when I scanned the pitch then after the end of my visit said I had used -£4.84 and then they took a further £5.28 out of my account and after 4 days the £8 is still pending and thats what they call fair usage fair to them but not fair to the customer you do the maths

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We can confirm that we have looked into your electricity usage during your stay to clarify your points for you.
During your stay you used 57.99kwh of electric, we have a fair usage policy of 12kwh; this means that for your duration of your stay you had 36kwh of electric included as part of the fair usage. Therefore, there was an excess of 21.99kwh during your stay.

Total Used = 57.99kwh
Fair Usage = 36kwh
Chargeable Difference = 21.99kwh
21.99kwh X 0.22p = £4.84 + 0.44p(admin charge to the meter company) = £5.28.

The £8 that is a pending payment that automatically shows when you set up your stay upon arrival; this is a pre authorisation payment and doesn't get taken from your bank and will disappear a couple of days after your departure. The example we use is, when you go to the fuel station they take a pending payment; this is exactly the same.

We would like to apologise for any confusion with our new metering system and we hope this explanation above helps clarify.

Thanks
Pinecones

Sandy Acres powered grass and sand campsite (small)

Liked Location

Disliked Arrived in the dark couldn't find our pitch numbers markers not really visible.
No light on our pitch .
Weather not great (clearly not campsite fault ( but then had to scan the new electric set up without light on pitch.
The cleanliness of shower/toilet facilities poor. (Again prob not fault of campsite) followed someone into showers disgusting rubbish left not flushed toilet. Although they did smell of drains all weekend too.
Stayed here last year and had a better experience, but will not be staying again based on this stay. Wifi not great intermittent.

Sorry guys you could do better.

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your comments and we can only apologise about the cleanliness of the bathrooms this weekend, we have had a problem with some children on site and we are dealing with this the best we can. We have had anyone mention the wifi this weekend and therefore we will check this now. Again, we are apologetic and we hope this doesn't impact the rest of your visits with us.
Thanks

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. 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 of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape – bring walking boots, crabbing nets and plenty of room for picnics.
