  • 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. The bistro, closed on Mondays (except bank holidays), is popular so guests should book a table during busy periods. It's open between 11.45am and 8pm from Tuesday to Thursday and on Sundays; on Friday and Saturday, it's open from 11.45 am to 10pm. 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 toilet block with electric showers, 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 too.

What customers say

Lovely little spot, super clean with great loos and showers. Spacious, level pitches with picnic tables. The Olive Tree Bistro is a winner for food and service. Minor road noise for some, but most want to come back. A few mention shower temps & Wi-Fi hiccups.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked It’s a small, well kept site of only 10 pitches, situated directly behind the pub restaurant, but not so that you get any noise from there. All pitches are very large, half being on just grass & half having hard standing. There’s a lovely beer garden at the start of the site, which is next to the washroom and shower facilities. There’s also a dog wash area and a long hose for re-filling.
The food is good & plentiful in the pub. Drinks are a bit pricey but there’s a good selection.
Great location for exploring North Norfolk & it’s many fabulous beaches.

Disliked Nothing at all to dislike but worth noting as others have said, that there’s nowhere close by to walk your dogs or let them off.
And no hairdryers or WiFi on site.

Timothy A.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked We loved the site, location to beaches, not far from Holt, Wells or Fakenhan. The site was small, intimate and located at the rear of a lovely Pub/Restsurant. Our pitch was a great size for our 6m x 4 m tent plus car. The toilets, showers and washing- up facilities were clean and tidy, butter than many sites I have visited nearby.

Great selection of beers, in the pub, the food was outstanding. My wife had the Gyros which she loved and I had the Shawarma kebab with a delicious salad. Deserts were lovely too with a great selection of homemade treats. Prices were very reasonable for the portions
size , my kebab was one of the best I ever tasted, moist ant full of flavour.

Site was well secured too which was reassuring. Very dog friendly site and in the bar too so you can take your porch in when you eat. Staff were very friendly, attentive but not ‘in your face’ as some places are.

We will return here next time we camp in the area for the food alone as it’s worth the two hour trip.

Disliked WiFi only worked in the pub but that’s fair enough as we were not expecting anything more.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked We liked everything about this site. The hardstanding and grass pitch was perfect for us in our campervan, with the added bonus of a bench and parasol.

All the facilities were spotless and everything we needed. Toilets, showers, sink to wash our pots, drinking water and chemical waste disposal.

The Olive Tree Bistro was amazing with Barrie, his daughter and other friendly staff on front of house.

The menus were perfect for us, being Mediterranean themed. We tried the tapas twice, patatas braves stew, meatballs, calamari bites and prawns which were all delicious. Also I had the lamb kebab, which was a huge portion, my wife had the Moussaka, equally huge, both from the specials board. Compliments to Michelle.

We will be returning hopefully this year, thank you to Pitch.up and everyone at the Olive Tree.

Disliked Nothing!

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.
