  • Wildlife haven in west Norfolk: walk to the beach in two minutes
  • Basic and peaceful site next to the Norfollk Coast Path
  • Barbecues and campfires allowed; shop and pub a few minute's walk away
The splendid beach near Hunstanton Camping and Glamping (dog-friendly Heacham beach, two minutes' walk away) is the only east-coast beach in Britain facing west. This means that guests here are often treated to the sight of a spectacular sunset over the sea – a real rarity for Norfolk. As well being a romantic sunset spot, this location is also a very enticing one for watersports enthusiasts, hikers and families – plus dog owners, who are welcome to bring their pet along for a holiday and a ramble along the Norfolk coast. Hunstanton Camping and Glamping is on the edge of the village of Heacham, in a peaceful wildlife haven surrounded by open fields. It's three miles from here to Snettisham, five to Hunstanton and 10 miles to Thornham, all with dog-friendly beaches and walks aplenty, or you could feel regal for the day with a trip to Sandringham – and its woodland walking paths – within 15 minutes' drive. The site has a good selection of amenities including toilets (ladies', gents' and unisex facilities), four indoor unisex showers and a number of outdoor showers. Grey waste water disposal and chemical disposal are available for touring guests, and plug sockets in washrooms mean you can charge phones or use hairdryers easily enough. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed; a local shop a minute's walk away has most supplies you should need. There's also a pub a few minutes' walk away.

What customers say

This basic campsite is praised for its great location near the beach and coastal paths, with friendly staff. Facilities are mostly clean but a bit dated, with occasional hot water or cleanliness issues. Popular with dog owners and those seeking peace, though some found it scruffy or pricey. Improvements are noted.

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked Shame we camped during the two storms with our tent, but the owner of the campsite let us put our tent near two containers so it kept most of the wind off us, we still had a great time, basic sight but has all you need.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you still had a great time despite camping during two storms, and we are so glad that placing your tent near the containers helped shield you from the wind.
We also truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts on our basic site setup. Hearing that it provided everything you needed for an enjoyable stay means a lot to us. Thank you again for weathering the storms with us, and we hope to welcome you back under much sunnier skies next time!

Disliked Facilities shower rooms were very basic no toilet paper no one to greet and when eventually we did make contact with the owner she wasn’t aware of our stay the price was too expensive for the site £10 for our dog was very unreasonable

Andy C. 1 review

Power optional grass campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked Site location near Heacham Beach and next to open fields with a variety of wildlife. Hares, partridges, pheasants, deer, red kites and even a barn owl perched on our van. Great walks to Hunstanton, Wild Ken Hill and Snettisham.

Staff welcoming and helpful. Simon with his owls brought an added dimension to our appreciation of the wild life.

Basic facilities, EHU, toilets, electric showers, kitchen wash area

Disliked Facilities, rustic and tired with a screaming fan in the gents. No hot washing water in gents, no hooks to hang clothing. Shower head difficult to position in ladies

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed our excellent location near Heacham Beach, the beautiful open fields, and the wonderful variety of local wildlife—having a barn owl perch on your van sounds truly magical! It is also fantastic to know that our staff made you feel so welcome and that Simon and his owls added such a special dimension to your stay.
We also truly appreciate you raising these specific concerns regarding the rustic condition of the facilities, the noisy fan, the lack of hot water and hooks in the gents, and the shower head positioning in the ladies.

Local attractions

Nature fans rejoice, for there's birdwatching galore around here. Make for the RSPB reserve in Snettisham for flocks of birds around the Wash, or for RSPB Titchwell Marsh (20 minutes' drive) to see avocets, marsh harriers and pink-footed geese around its marshlands, reedbeds and freshwater lagoons. Titchwell has a wide sandy beach to investigate too, where scenery seekers can snap far-reaching views across the Wash. Boating and watersports are easily accessed just down the coast at Hunstanton. The town's also home to the rides of Rainbow Park fairground, and the Sea Life Sanctuary next door where you and curious kids can see seals, penguins, otters and other watery species. Other recommended options include Norfolk Lavender, five minutes' drive away at Caley Mill, and the 12th-century ruins of Castle Rising (15 minutes), one of the biggest and best preserved keeps in England.
