  • Peaceful family-friendly site on the Norfolk coast
  • A 15-minute walk from the nearest beach; a 15-minute drive from Cromer
  • Walking distance from pubs and food shops
A big ‘yes please’ to a break by the sea? Then root down at Green Gables Camping Ground. This peaceful site in the Norfolk Coast National Landscape has views over the surrounding countryside. A 15-minute walk away from the nearest beach and 15 minutes' drive away from Cromer, you’ll also be well situated for activities that revolve around the sand and sea. Plus, with four acres of grasslands (and rather splendid rural views), there’s plenty of space for everyone to unwind. It’s likely you’re already heading to the coast with the idea of whiling your day away on the sand and pottering (or speeding your way) around the coastal footpaths. If so, this site is a 15-minute walk away from the sheltered Trimingham beach… perhaps take a surfboard for the waves or set your sights on the good fishing spots. Very handily, the beach joins up with the coastal path, and there’s a small food shop 20 minutes’ walk away along this route, well-positioned for filling your pockets with some energy-boosting snacks before you set off. Catch a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs on the way to Mundesley beach too (40 minutes’ walk in the same direction). If you’re feeling a little sandy after your adventures, there’s an amenities block on site that has showers and toilets. Other on-site facilities include a washing-up area for you to take care of your dirty dishes or grab some drinking water.

What customers say

A budget-friendly, peaceful spot near beaches and walks. Staff are welcoming. But the entrance is often described as a 'scrap yard,' and facilities are basic, with mixed reviews on cleanliness and upkeep. Fire pits and wood are a plus.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The showers were warm and the field was flat and good

Disliked It was overall just mank. You enter through what looks to be a junkyard, the toilet block is very dirty, and at least when I was there there wasn't any soap. Also the sink is a giant trough that doesn't drain all the water, and since it hadn't been cleaned for a while, it was mank.

The showers were grim with other peoples soaps, shavers and sandles left in there, implying that they haven't been cleaned in a long time.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Quiet small camping ground. First time camping for us,so that was nice as had small dog& grandchildren.
Pitch was large& by woody area,so not overlooked by anything. Football net,so Grandson happy. This is basic camping that we enjoyed for 2 days. Our van wouldn't start when leaving so owners son-in-law helped us for 2hrs.+ with that,so we were very grateful &owner was able to sort out any minor issues with a phone call.

Disliked Trekking to the beach(if kiddies with you)

 Gema N. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Best thing ever was that they set up metal barrels that we were allowed to use to make a fire in. They also sold wood which was not a rip off it was real good value. Very simple and basic, a field with trees around, nice and quiet and not crowded. I liked that is was simple, not loads of over the top mod cons. Could chose where you wanted to pitch, it is a good place for tents or vehicles that have thier own electric. Staff were friendly and let you get on with it, they were not fussy or moany. Very cheep too. It was off the beaten track but we still was able to get there on foot using bus and walking.

Disliked I was nervous on entering as i did not know where to go, Need a sign saying reception here or this way to entrance type of thing, i ended up walking through junk and rubbish because i saw a hut that i thought was the reception, but it was not anyway. If there was a sign saying this way... i would have carried on going forward and had seen the owners house/huts.

Local attractions

Beach days on the brain? No worries – sandy shores are on the horizon, whether it’s Mundesley beach's (five minutes’ drive) safe swimming waters, beach huts and watersports or Cromer’s beach and traditional pier (15 minutes), a popular crabbing spot for novices and pros, by the way. Sea Palling Beach (35 minutes) is another watersports haven with plenty of swims and sandy dunes in store. It's likely you’ve already met the site’s alpacas, but if it’s monkeys, pumas and peccaries you’d like to see next, Amazona Zoo (15 minutes) has a cluster of South American animals. You’re sure to spot some creepy crawlies and feathered animals around the woodland and parkland walks, the lake and walled garden at Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (15 minutes) too. If you’ve kids to keep occupied, they might enjoy clambering across the treehouse adventure park at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (half an hour) or gliding across the boating lake at North Lodge Park (10 minutes). Heard of Henry Blogg, a famous lifeboat crew member who performed some fearsome rescues? The RNLI Henry Blogg Museum (15 minutes) remembers his life and some of his craziest rescues.
