  • Sixteen luxury bathrooms on site with individual showers and loos
Have you ever been to the Norfolk coast? Pine-ing to return or to see it for the first time? Come and stay at Pine Cones Caravan and Camping, near King's Lynn inland and Heacham and Hunstanton on the coastline – this is such a royally good region that King Charles and his cohorts have a pad at Sandringham just a mile away. If the king were camping, it's a fairly safe bet he would like the up to date and excellently kept amenities at Pine Cones too: 16 warm luxury bathrooms, all with their own shower, toilets, basin and storage racks; a roomy, indoors washing-up area with several sinks and plenty of drainer space; and a washing machine and dryer in a separate room to sort out the laundry. Once the essentials are sorted, send the kids off to the adventure playground to try out the treehouse, rope ladders and high level walkway, and settle down in the picnic area with coffee and eats… there's a coffee machine on site and the well-stocked shop sells a good selection of items including bread, milk, and fresh and frozen food. A selection of outdoor gym equipment is also available for the energetic holidaymaker. Off site, Pine Cones is about a mile from the nearest pub the Feathers, or trot off to award-winning the Coach and Horses. Both are in nearby Dersingham village, where there's also a supermarket, takeaway and coffee shop dishing up homemade cakes daily.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked: Set up of campsite, very friendly and informative welcome. Professional approach. Individual bathrooms was a bonus. Even though campsite was full they were always clean and plenty of hot water. We never got.to sample the bar on site but it looked really nice. Local takeaway which delivered was nice.

Disliked: Next to a busy road but it didn't really affect us much as we were out and about both days.

Pine Views FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (comfort)

Liked: We stayed on a very good, fully serviced pitch in a small caravan. We were close to the road side area, very noisy at peak travel times but this was mentioned on booking info. We had a picnic hut which we used in the evenings to watch the sunset, very nice! However, we think the hut is located too close to the neighbouring pitch which spoils it a little for their privacy as well as ours. Maybe a willow panel beside would improve the experience greatly. Liked the look of the bar/cafe although we didn't find time to use it. The friendly reception team were on hand for queries. We did an excellent walk using the walking map to Dersingham via Ingoldsthorpe and Snettisham using the old railway line. Baxter's garden centre half way was a great stop for lunch. A great base to visit all the touristy bits. We had no noise issues where we were.

Disliked: Liked the idea of the private bathrooms, but the block furthest from the reception was a bit tired. Some of the showers didn't drain away very well and could be a bit steamy and smelly when entering... a more powerful fan would probably solve that problem. Water was plentiful and the piped music from the radio station was novel. We also felt that the area surrounding the pitches were a bit cramped in on all sides but that's just a comparison to other sites we have stayed on, this was mentioned by others we met. Whilst we like dogs we felt there were rather a lot of them, some people had three or more. However they were all fairly well behaved with only the odd ones barking and nothing that bothered us too much. Reading other reviews we were probably lucky this time.

Pine Views FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (comfort)

Liked: Good location for Kings Lynn, Sandringham and Norfolk coast. Good sized pitch with own picnic hut, everything in good working order. Clean toilets, plenty of hot water. Welcoming and informative staff. On site Pub and Norfolk Nibbles- when open. Great for couples and families with kids. Very dog friendly, lots of people with dogs, they are also allowed in the pub. Excellent WiFi.

Disliked: Showers in need of upgrading, they are cleaned twice daily, but look rather shabby. Our caravan and awning was covered in sticky pine tree sap by the end of the week, the other half was not happy about that! More stone needs putting on the pitch as it had worn away leaving it a bit muddy for walking on, fortunately, it didn't rain while we were there, but would have been bad if it had done. We would like to have seen the pub open and food available for teatime (5-7pm) every day of the week, instead of just Friday to Sunday.

Local attractions

Beaches, historic houses, museums and festivals, tiny villages, market towns and fab family days out are all easily accessible from Pine Cones Caravan and Camping – after a day at Sandringham, but of course, to wave at the king first... Within a couple of miles, the deer safaris, farming activities and walking trails of Snettisham Deer Park and the sights and smells of Norfolk Lavender are both good options for a day out; Snettisham has an RSPB reserve too for those itching to twitch. But as you're probably in west/north Norfolk for the beaches, head to Heacham, Holkham and Hunstanton first, the closest sands to Pine Cones, and then take a trip to Brancaster 11 miles away; the family-friendly and very scenic sands of Sheringham, Cromer and Mundsley are a little further along the coast. (Also, the final scenes of Shakespeare in Love were filmed at Holkham, and all the beaches in these parts are fairly filmworthy, so bring your camera.) Other excellent options for days out include village hopping and shopping among the scenic sights of Dersingham, Holt, Fakenham, Aylsham and Burnham Market to pick up some local produce, or going along to one of Norfolk's festivals or events: there's usually something going on throughout the year. Pine Cones is also on the edge the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – bring walking boots, crabbing nets and plenty of room for picnics.
