  • 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. 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, and there are handy leg-stretching strolls along the River Stiffkey (15 minutes’ walk) straight from the pitches.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Easy access to road and Supermarkets close by. Owners / Staff very friendly and helpful. Flat hardstanding with plenty of room. No extra charge for our dog or awning. Toilet / showers very basic but clean and adequate. Good value for money.

Disliked: Wooden picnic benches provided but no use if covered in bird poo.

Disliked: Nothing to note

Joe A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Lovely campsite with really friendly owners with a fantastic pub on site, selling reasonably priced, very good quality food - we had the Tapas, but the menu was a good mixture of English and Mediterranean inspired cuisine. Most of the pitches appeared to have access to electricity and the toilets and showers were modern and well maintained.

Disliked: The location wouldn't be ideal for exploring the area without a vehicle. Whilst the showers were lovely and clean the water was a tad on the cool side and the shower could have benefited from something to sit on when putting your socks and shoes on - also the toilet sinks were the space saving type, so not ideal for washing your face or cleaning your teeth. That aside, the positives far out weighed these personal preferences.

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.
