A perfect site
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Everything about this site is first class, wonderful facilities kept extremely clean, very quiet and a bus service just a few mins walk connecting you to the coast or the city of Norwich.

Overall a wonderful site, very tranquil and would happily return.
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked This site was perfect for being peaceful and the pitches were big with handstanding.
We are a couple who like to use our own showers, however the showers were spacious and very hot, cleaned regularly, so we both used these.
The washer and dryer were a bonus.
Bonus to this stay was having a free display of Typhoons flying over head most days.
Disliked There are 2 things that were a disappointment, the hedges needed a cut as they were long and brambles were growing wildly.
Because this is the sister campsite to Deers Glade unfortunately it is unmanned, so there was no meet and greet. We did however, get an email the day before to let us know which pitch we had been allocated.
I would highly recommend that maybe a representative could go to the site each day between a certain time to help or at least show that a member of staff is about.

Nice setting…
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Nice setting
Disliked Premium priced pitch on a unmanned site. Second day ,
Had an infestation of ants, couldn't have the windows open, they were in the van, the awning and all over the grass
Difficult to contact the warden, they couldn't answer my email, landline answerphone message, because they were busy, came from sister site eventually.
Ant powder was administered, lasted about an hour before we were covered again we were told to order some ant powder from Amazon and have it delivered to their shop on the sister site, bit of a liberty,
Didn't see warden again
Shame we couldn't enjoy our well earned holiday, please avoid pitch 20 but we were not the only ones suffering after speaking to other caravanners on the site
Quite poor for the pitch cost £46 per night
Well disappointed to be fair

Not as good as we had hoped....
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Quite peaceful, generally quiet site. Guests are mostly respectful of the ambience.
Clean facilities, although the ratio of showers/toilets to guests is quite low.
Good size ‘fully serviced’ (see below) pitches separated by mature, low hedging surrounded by trees.
Most pitches are fairly level, though ours had a steep slope (see picture that shows how far we had to ‘level up’).
As with the area in general you can, every now and again, hear the RAF training in the skies above, keeping us safe!
Disliked >There is easy access to electric hook up and water although ours was not really a ‘fully serviced’ pitch as paid for as it was quite a steep uphill to the grey water drain point - overcome with the use of my wastemaster tank - but I would prefer the ability to use ALL the facilities on a serviced pitch as that is what I am paying for.
I advised the site team but they could not offer me an alternative pitch.
>Only 1 hand soap between 4 sinks in the toilets.
>Litter on my pitch when I arrived.
>There is road noise from the road into Erpingham.
>Poor waste management - bins soncull that recycling is spilling out all over the floor!
>Reception not manned during our stay with the use of phone numbers only.
>People who were not staying on site, wandering around asking questions about the site.....because “no one was in reception to help them”
>Regular explosions from sunrise to sunset where it seems local farmers are using bird scarers (gas bangers).
>Some site guests thinking the road around the site is a race track.....

Pitches were good but facilities could be better.
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Good well maintained pitches, the hedge makes a nice enclosure
Disliked Bins overflowing? Not a good look. A bad drain smell coming from the ladies sinks.
The plugs for the washing up drains don’t hold the water. It’s a shame that no one is there to greet you on arrival- felt a little souless. WiFi wasn’t good, very intermittent.

Nice clean well kept site
FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Clean and
Quiet site , good washing and emptying facilities
Good showers with plenty of room
Disliked The pitch we were put was at an angle and not level , would have been ok if we had self levelling.
There were only 2 toilets for men which are not really enough, I must admit , the cleaner was the very often cleaning them but I didn’t use them as they were very smelly .
Saturday night was quite noisy up until very late , there must have been a party down the road or something ( was not coming from the site )
