  • 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.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch (small)

Liked Friendly staff, little play area for young children, spacious pitches, easily accessible electricity via an app, quiet campsite despite being right on the main road.

Disliked Dog dirt around the site that hadn’t been picked up. Dirty drain smell from the bathrooms.

Liked Excellent location, very impressive private bathrooms. Clean and friendly site.

Disliked Our pitch was on sandy acres and the sand left a dusty film over everything! Other than that though, it was a lovely stay.

Pine Views fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Pitches are clean and tidy and fully serviced is very handy. Toilet block clean and individual cubicles are nice and private.

Disliked It's very close proximity to a VERY main road, so not as peaceful as we like. We also felt the pitches are rather close together so in peak season it would be very busy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re pleased to hear you found the pitches clean and tidy, and that the fully serviced pitches were convenient during your stay. It’s also lovely to know you enjoyed the cleanliness and privacy of the individual bathroom facilities.

Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the road noise and pitch spacing. We do make it very clear within our website and booking information that the site is located near a main road. Whilst this does not bother most guests, we completely understand that some people are more sensitive to noise than others. One of the advantages of our location is the easy access to the site, with no difficult narrow lanes for guests to navigate.

Our pitches are laid out exactly as described and are separated by hedges, which many guests really enjoy for the added privacy and definition between pitches.

We appreciate your comments and thank you again for staying with us.

Pine Views fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Well spaced and looked after pitches. Very clean & tidy site, excellent staff. Ideally placed for walks to nearby places of interest and food / drink. Good WiFi coverage.

Disliked It's a shame this site is right on the Dersingham by pass, which causes a bit of road noise. Saying that, you soo get used to it and wasn't really a reason for not returning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our spacious and well-maintained pitches, clean facilities, friendly staff, and convenient location for local walks, food, and drink options. It’s also great to know the WiFi coverage met your expectations.

We do appreciate your comments regarding the road noise from the bypass. While this is something beyond our control, we’re pleased to hear it didn’t impact your overall stay and that you would consider returning. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

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.
