Acle, Norfolk, England
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked A really nice site for simple camping with a tent. It’s a big space, some nice areas of long grass and hedgerows round the edge. The toilets were clean ( it’s the non flush compostable toilets) and the showers were perfect. There is an area to charge your phone and a small freezer. Half hour drive to stunning beaches, we also enjoyed a day trip to Norwich.
Disliked Although you are in the middle of nowhere it struck me how little wildlife there is - more of the state of the Uk countryside, but no dawn chorus, like most farming areas a wildlife dessert. At night an industrial sounding fan can be heard - I couldn’t hear it in the day, it’s not loud but must be from some unit beyond the fields. Otherwise no complaints.

From the manager: Hi Fibula, thank you taking the time to leave a review. As it is late on in the season, and the driest summer on record, this August has not been the best time to hear the dawn chorus. If you want to hear it in full swing I invite you visit us in May and June. And yes, the fields are bare after harvest and everywhere is looking very dry and crispy this year. A lot of the wildlife has retreated to cooler woodland areas nearby. We've been waiting for rain which has now arrived, and I started planting our winter crops on Monday so things will be coming back to life again soon!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely spacious plots, warm showers and clean (compost) toilets. Quiet and rural. Shauna was friendly and welcoming. You can have campfires and they supply a great supply of wood (for £10). Great location for exploring the coast and local towns and villages.
Disliked The long grass pictured in the image had been cut so we were just on regular short grass plots which are not so atmospheric. If you could leave the odd haybale out for kids and teens they would love that to climb on...
