  • 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

Great spot near the beach, with super friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Facilities are decent but basic. Watch out for the owls! Can get a bit packed when busy.

Electric optional grass campervan pitch (no awning)

Liked It's a great location, close to the beach with a shop nearby. Easy for bus connections to Hunstanton. Site was rustic, simple and the amenities were clean. The site was quiet. We found the price was good value. The owls and Simon, (Owls and about) were great.

Disliked A disabled toilet and shower would have been useful for us, to support care needs.

Liked Dat het een kleine camping is waar het gezellig en relaxed is. De uilen zijn echt fantastisch 🤩
Je mag er vuurtjes stoken, en ze denken aan de veiligheid door emmers beschikbaar te hebben voor blussen.
Toilet en douches zijn oké

Disliked De toiletten en douches zijn oké. Mag van mij iets schoner en opgeknapt worden.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hartelijk dank dat u de tijd heeft genomen om deze mooie beoordeling te delen! We zijn absoluut verheugd over het feit dat u heeft genoten van de gezellige en relaxte sfeer op onze kleine camping.Het is fantastisch om te horen dat de ontmoeting met onze uilen echt een hoogtepunt voor u was 🤩! Ook vinden we het geweldig dat u de mogelijkheid om een gezellig kampvuurtje te stoken wist te waarderen, en dat onze veiligheidsmaatregelen—zoals de emmers water voor het blussen—u een veilig gevoel gaven.We waarderen uw eerlijke feedback over de sanitaire voorzieningen uiteraard ook. Hoewel we blij zijn dat de toiletten en douches oké waren voor uw verblijf, nemen we uw opmerking dat het iets schoner mag en dat er wat opgeknapt kan worden zeer serieus. We zullen dit direct bespreken met ons schoonmaak- en onderhoudsteam om ervoor te zorgen dat deze ruimtes de nodige aandacht en een frisse opknapbeurt krijgen.Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor uw steun en de waardevolle tips. We hopen u in de toekomst nogmaals te mogen verwelkomen aan de kust voor een nóg beter verblijf!

Liked The only thing i do have to say is…
Location is absolutely fantastic
The actual facilities were absolutely disgusting
Good job we had our own
The WiFi dose not work
Electric is an xtra £10 per night
For the price we paid is what we pay for a caravan & motorhome site
Unfortunately we left it to
Late to get on another site
So that’s why we ended up here.
The photos on the site & location actually won us over.

The photos on the site are very very old.
They need to update them ASAP

The comings & goings within the site are very noticeable & obviously more than just
A campsite.
This site should be inspected by pitch up the council.

This site would really be fantastic if they just made an effort
Closed down & re started again

Liked The location, although it’s a two mile walk to Hunstanton it’s a good location.

Disliked It wasn’t “rustic” it was unkempt and the facilities were poor and didn’t appear to have been cleaned all year. On my final day I did see a cleaner in ladies, whose idea of cleaning a very dirty toilet was to squirt blue cleaner down it! Disgraceful!!
The showers were either cold or scalding. The pot washing facilities had only cold water!
Even the pitches were full of litter. The WiFi was virtually non existent. Not my dream location. This could be brilliant but sadly lacks tlc

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback following your recent stay. We are glad that you appreciated our good location and found it to be a great base for enjoying the two-mile coastal walk into Hunstanton. However, we are very sorry to hear that the condition of our site and shared facilities fell so far short of your expectations. We take your comments regarding the unkempt appearance of the site, the litter on the pitches, and the poor state of the toilet blocks very seriously. Finding dirty facilities and an unacceptable standard of cleaning is completely against the experience we aim to provide. We have addressed this directly with our housekeeping and site management teams to investigate these failures. We also apologise for the maintenance issues you encountered, including the fluctuating shower temperatures, the lack of hot water at the pot-washing sinks, and the virtually non-existent Wi-Fi connection. We truly value your constructive insights as they help us focus on the exact areas that need urgent attention, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.

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.
