  • Small tourer site adjacent to a restaurant in Little Snoring, Norfolk
  • Cromer Beach 35 minutes’ drive; Sandringham Estate 25 minutes
  • Level pitches with no-frills facilities; shops five minutes’ drive
Liking the idea of a restaurant a few steps away from your tourer pitch? Your luck’s in at The Olive Tree Bistro Camp Site, found in the sweetly named Norfolk village of Little Snoring. Simply arrive, park up and decamp to the bistro fronting the pitches, and you’re all set for a relaxed meal of Mediterranean-inspired dishes and tapas sharing plates – accompanied by a decent list of wines and beers too. The bistro, closed on Mondays (except bank holidays), is popular so guests should book a table during busy periods. It's open between 11.45am and 8pm from Tuesday to Thursday and on Sundays; on Friday and Saturday, it's open from 11.45 am to 10pm. So, that’s food taken care of. What about the practicalities? Well, the site is a doddle to get to as it’s off the A148 between King’s Lynn and Cromer. Access is easy thanks to the width of the entrance gate, and the pitches are a mix of grass and gravel on a level field. Facilities are simple, stretching to a small shower block, a covered washing-up sink and drinking water on tap. On warmer days, you can eat outside at the picnic tables, and if you need more supplies of groceries, there are a couple of supermarkets in Fakenham (five minutes’ drive). The dog-lovers among you will be pleased to read that your pets are welcome on site too.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked: We don’t usually do reviews but thought the olive tree bistro was worth it. Lovely compact site with 9 huge pitches . Very clean. Very well kept. It’s a great family run business that can’t do enough to help and make you feel welcome. Yes it’s a small site but you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other which is a bonus and it’s level ! The bistro food is spot on and the steak dinner we had was the best one I’ve ever had. The location is very convenient to explore into Norfolk. Overall this is one of the better touring sites we’ve booked and will go back to. Thanks to all the staff there that made our get away great.

Local attractions

The site is well-situated for jaunts along the North Norfolk coastline. Popular beaches include Sheringham (25 minutes’ drive), good for rock pooling with the kids on its swathe of golden sand. Cromer (35 minutes) is the spot for watersports, food stalls and walks along the Victorian pier, while Salthouse Beach (25 minutes) is a dog-friendly pebbled expanse where you can sometimes spot egrets and marsh harriers. If the weather’s not looking so good, head straight for Thursford Steam Museum (five minutes), with a heady mix of gaily painted carousels, steam engines and barrel organs that should keep the kids happy for hours. When the clouds disappear again, you can get rid of any pent-up energy go-karting through woodland, tree climbing and completing obstacle courses at ExTREEme Adventure (20 minutes). If you fancy a bet, Fakenham Racecourse (10 minutes) has meetings all year round. And as horse racing is the sport of kings, perhaps you’d like to see how our present monarch lives? Take a trip to Sandringham Estate (25 minutes) to tour sumptuous apartments in the stately royal residence, and have a wander through parkland designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe in the 1940s.
