  • Award-winning family-owned north Norfolk holiday park
  • Within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, a mile from Cromer
  • Dog-friendly site with woodland walks and a popular bar-restaurant
How would you like to stay at an award-winning forest park with walks through sheltered tree groves, a sun patio to bask on, plenty of play areas for the youngsters and hilltop viewpoints taking in a sandy beach, the Norfolk coastline and the famed golf course at Royal Cromer? You would? Then take the family tree to Forest Park, a pristinely pretty park set among 100 acres of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. There’s loads to do on site alongside the woodland walks and gaping at the views, from the grassy space on site for kids to play ball games and run about to the cycling routes in the local area. Forest Park is a mile from the seaside town of Cromer, where there are plenty of restaurants dishing up Cromer crab. Back on site, there's a bar-restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (opening times vary). The well-stocked park shop sells fresh honey produced at the on-park bee hives, alongside fresh hot drinks made with locally sourced coffee beans and freshly baked croissants, bread and pastries: just follow your nose. Toys, camping equipment, newspapers, gifts and a good selection of groceries are also on offer.

Sharron s.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Friendly welcome on arrival with clear instructions to pitch. Rain prevented exploring the site unfortunately

Disliked Poor signage to the restaurant which in rain was disappointing. Inadequate/poor disabled facilities found, again may be as a result of poor signage not everyone has been before and will be familiar with site and layout. Facilities for motorhome limited ie: where is the elson point??? No clear signage. Over priced for off season

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very nice site to visit off-season, and easy to access the town.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Even in off-season, with only a few users, the welcome was very good. Reception advised on good walking routes, and the welcome pack was comprehensive. The toilet and shower block was warm, very clean, and other facilities easy to access.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very Friendly greeting on arrival.

Great club house on site, with Camden Pale ale on tap. Also had a meal which was very nice and generous portions, dog friendly too.

We stayed on a grass pitch which was pretty level and near the shower block which was very warm and clean.
Site has great access route to beach nearby and not far which a great walk to Cromer.
Great to visit even in November.
White horse pub at Overstrand did best Sunday roast I have ever had & dog friend my 15-20mins walk

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely stay again, we used our own facilities x

Local attractions

From Forest Park, you can see the village of Overstrand, which has a beach; from here, walk the mile and a half into Cromer for its funfair, zoo, theatre, museums and that famed Cromer crab (buy in the town or catch your own off the pier). If you’re angling for other fishy treats, try fishing for bass off the pier or taking a boat out to sea to land some cod. Two long-distance walking routes finish in Cromer: the Norfolk Coast Path which runs 45 miles from here to Hunstanton and the Weavers’ Way, a 56-mile route going to Great Yarmouth. Wildlife including seabirds and seals can be spotted from many places along the coast, with seal-spotting boat trips available from Blakeney (half an hour's drive). The kids should enjoy days out to places like Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens and the award-winning adventure park BeWILDerwood (both half an hour). Meanwhile, grown-up activity in the area includes exploring Norfolk’s many history and heritage sites: roam around the rhododendrons at Sheringham Park (15 minutes), check out the royal retreat of Sandringham (an hour) or get lost wandering around the Holkham estate (an hour) with beaches, nature reserve, woodland play area and outdoor theatre.
