In need of some loving care
Northgate Hall Farm
Visited in early June 2024 - motorhome
The site is well positioned for access to Wells-next-the-Sea and nearby places of interest.
However... The site itself could be so much better with a little extra attention. It's a huge site so there is plenty of space but the grass is too long and the untrimmed hedges make it look very uncared for. The water tap (as others have mentioned) looked so suspicious (green fungus growing up the outside of the pipework) that we chose not to use it at all.
The entrance (there seems to be three) that we chose was very potholed - we left by the driveway onto Stiffkey road, which was a bit better.
Shocking!

Pros: peaceful site.
Cons: The Elsan was appalling. A wooden cover revealed human waste with flies buzzing around. Having visited over 34 CL sites this is by far the worst we've seen. Nothing was draining. When it's 30 degrees plus in the summer the stench will be horrendous.
The drinking tap pipe was covered in green slime and algae - a string of slime was hanging form the tap pipe - revolting.
The grass/weeds were far too long with dandelion seeds flying everywhere (our dog was covered in them!)
This site is not worth £25 per night - we should have been paid that to stay there! We will not be returning.
Could be so much better
Northgate Hall Farm
What a disappointment when we arrived for our 7 night stay. The grass was 12 inches high and the site felt generally uncared for. The stand pipe for the water was disgusting as “something” had been allowed to grow on the outside of the pipe. The grass was eventually “hacked down” over a period of 4-5 days but this left loose grass everywhere which stuck to ourselves and our dog. Like other people have mentioned there was no contact made with us from the site owners for our entire stay (other than a text acknowledging our payment) and no apology for the poor state of the site. It is such a shame as the site is in a lovely quiet location with nice views and could be so much better.
Wonderful Autumn
Northgate Hall Farm
We stayed for 5 nights on this site. The booking at payment was all done via email/ BACS. We didn’t actually get to meet the owners at all. Not a problem for us but a greeting at some point during our stay is always nice.
We found the location of the CL ideal for our holiday, with easy access to public footpaths and excellent for cycling down quiet country lanes. The site itself has lovely views and is very spacious, we enjoyed watching the wildlife, including a regular visit from some Red Kite.
We have been using CL’s for the last 25yrs and this one could be added to our favourites list but in our opinion it does need a little TLC. The drive has a few potholes, the area around the Elsan point needs an upgrade and the grass in the field was ready for a trim. It wouldn’t put us off returning but did feel, that even given rising fuel costs £25 a night was a bit steep for what was on offer.
Sloping traffic-free site with adequate facilities. Walkable to Wells.

It took a while for the owner to respond to my email to book, and I did not meet with them during my stay. I was required to make a 50% deposit. Instructions said to pay the balance by cash, but bank transfer is also accepted.
BEWARE! Signage for the camping field is lacking if coming off Stiffkey Road so we whizzed by towards a pitched caravan in front of us only to find that was not the actual site! Luckily I have a smallish van so could do a 180 turn.
The field is sloping, so level ups are advisable.
Facilities are adequate, but the toilet disposal is muddy when wet.
There was limited information at the site. Good access to the Peddar's Way, taking @ an hour to walk to Wells, and good access to Blakeney and Cley.
