What customers say
A peaceful, rural spot with space and countryside views. Basic facilities improved with new showers/wash-ups, though early reviews missed them. Loved for its quiet and location near North Norfolk coast. Priced okay for peace and space.

Basic, low-cost campsite in a nice location. Would stay again.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Nice, quiet open space with view over fields. Not crowded, everyone was well-spaced out as you could choose your own spot. A couple of new showers and an outdoor sink for washing up were perfect. Pretty village and a lovely circular walk down to the coast goes right past the campsite.
Disliked Portaloos were a bit grim by the end of the weekend but were replaced on Monday.
No recycling options except for glass.

Disliked Unfortunately site was really busy on Saturday ,and on Sunday morning most campers departed .3 of the toilets were blocked with toilet rolls and lots of soiled paper on floors and were not very pleasant!!
These were the same when we left on Monday morning. The rubbish bin was also over filled with lots of bags of rubbish on ground.There were lots of dogs but none were on leads and some of the smaller ones were quite yappy.

Anonymous Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Lots of open space to pitch where you want. Lovely new and clean showers with hot water. Mostly quiet so slept well.
Disliked Lots of dogs off lead, so couldn’t walk my dog around the campsite without other dogs approaching, not ideal for a dog reactive to other dogs.
Toilets were very smelly and felt unclean, yes they are porter loos but the smell first thing in the morning wasn’t nice.
