Powered grass tent campsite
Liked: The space, the choice of facilities (2 blocks of showers and toilets which were really clean and new! The showers were hot and had 3 wet rooms which were amazing with kids!!), lots of parking, a no noise past 10pm policy (which everyone respected!), hearing owls in the night, drinking taps everywhere, easy walk into town (8 mins to Wetherspoons and shops), large Tesco & Morrisons within 3 miles - to buy the bits you forgot! You are surrounded by fields and we saw baby deer a few times each day. Everything is so spread out that even if it was full, it would still feel spacious.
Disliked: Some of the non-electric pitches at the top of our field looked quiet small (you would have to park your car at the start of the field, but that's the only slight negative thing I can think of.

Liked: The open space. The facilities which were clean and well maintained. The communal fridge and freezer were very handy. The walks into the local area were lovely. Staff were friendly
Disliked: The play field and the dog walking field were just 2 open fields which wasn't really as we felt they were advertised. Dogs had to stay on lead and the playing field could have done with some goals at the least or a swing/climbing frame. WiFi was very intermittent.

Liked: Very clean site with easy access to electrical points and good space between pitches. We came with a group and were pitched next too or close.
Disliked: Unfortunately on the morning and evening before leaving the showers were very cold and not warming up. The reception wasn’t open so unable to let anyone know. Pitches need levelling in places where ground has been raised.

Liked: Plenty of space to pitch your tent, toilet and shower facilities were clean. Staff were able to allow us to pitch together as a group.
Disliked: Arriving outside of check in times so instructions are to email or call to inform staff. One of the numbers is out of service, the other kept ringing with no response. Some areas of the pitch were uneven.

Safe, friendly site with plenty to do nearby. Spider free toilets too!

Liked: Really laid back site no endless rules like some, so could just relax, us and everyone else respectful, so, fabulous. Even with a good few tents/caravans up late no one too loud, easy breezy. I have a huge spider phobia so toilets/showers when camping are always a concern for me, not here, nice modern block and I didn't see one! Showers were warm and continuous rather than constantly needing to press a button which was awesome. There is a huge games field so kids with footballs or rounders can have fun without disturbing tents. Distance to town centre is 15min walk or 5 minute drive (supermarkets, shops, fast food etc. a plenty and market day is Thursday). I didn't see a shop on site but so close to town it didn't matter. Also distance to beaches is 25-45mins, dependent on beach (recommend West Runton for crabbing and sea with lifeguards - though stoney - and Blakeney - for the seals). Watching the sunset from the tent field is awesome. Site felt very safe. Loads of well behaved dogs on site including our own, so clearly a very dog friendly site too.
Disliked: Whilst the games field is awesome nothing else for kids, one playground would make a huge difference. There were very few showers and only 2 sinks to wash up. Needed to queue occasionally but not for long. I wouldn't say this is a dislike but if site had been at capacity it could have been. Tent field to toilets is a bit of a walk.
