  • Well-maintained site with facilities such as a bar
  • A few miles from the Norfolk coast
  • 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.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch

Liked: Really nice site for a camp with great scenery.

Disliked: Being charged an extra £5 parking after paying for the stay when that is not an optional extra when booking. Labelled drink cans being sold at a higher price….for the sake of 50 pence when you’ve already paid an extra £5 for another car……(two friends from two separate parts of the country in a “car park” that’s empty) is quite frankly misleading and cheeky, but when you can’t get your money back on your stay you’ve no choice but to smile and accept it. No water in the showers at 6am for some reason tried several units and the electric kept going off at the pitch.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch

Liked: Facilities

Disliked: Very small dislike but the pitches weren’t full and my pitch was put next to a family of 6. (I am a solo traveller) if the site was full, I completely understand but maybe a bit of consideration of what pitches are allocated when possible. I was moved in the end because of the noise and children running onto my pitch. The staff were very helpful when I mentioned it.

Sandy Acres electric grass and sand pitch

Disliked: Bar closed on Sundays.

Liked: Easy access for walking the dogs and close to some very lovely walks like Sandringham. The toilets / showers were kept clean. Super friendly, helpful staff wherever you were, whether it be in the bar or reception or walking round the site. Bar was good and the Norfolk nibbles food was lovely and well priced!

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.
