Just back from an excellent two week stay at this site. Such friendly owners, quiet, peaceful, big pitches, spotlessly clean. You can hear “white noise” from the A47 during the day but in no way was this invasive. Added bonus of being fully serviced and a separate dog exercise field. Frankly could have stayed another two weeks - it was fabulous.
Such a wonderful site
Part of me doesn't really want to write this review for fear making this lovely site so popular we can never get a pitch again. To star,t Max is very friendly and knows lots of details about the local area and gave us a friendly welcome and ensures the site is clean tidy and we'll maintained. The grass is free draining and dries out very quickly so little risk of the site becoming a mud bath. The A47 is behind the site but we never heard it at all and to be honest couldn't believe how close we actually were, so don't let that put you off. The site offers hookup and water to each pitch with grey going into the hedges. The chemical emptying point is something entirely different, never seen anything like it, so simple and yet so perfect, so much better than those funnel points that are nearly everywhere. The dog field is the same size as the main site and totally secure and an excellent addition in our mind. As soon as we can find some dates in our diary well be looking to go back.
Beautiful site, lovely welcome, great facilities
One of the best CLs we've been on, choice of grass or hardstanding, clean, well tended and with good facilities and a very friendly welcome. We had a super couple of days cycling on great quiet, level country lanes down to Downham Market and across to Wisbech and up to Long Sutton. Only 4 stars for peace and tranquility as the A47 does create some traffic noise but wouldn't stop us going back. Found an amazing local butchers shop on the way to Downham Market - Sargeants, opposite an equally good farm shop, so ideal for stocking up on local produce - both worth a detour. We would definitely come again if we're touring East Anglia again.
Superb
What a superb site this is. The camping area offers spacious level pitches, each with its own water supply and the usual shared EHU bollards (the full 16 amps too). The chemical waste point is unusual (well, I’ve not seen one quite like it anyway) but proved to be very easy and clean to use in practice. Much better than those enormous funnel things on the main Club sites.
The dog exercise area is as big as the main camping area, and the whole site is well laid out and immaculately maintained.
The rural location is very picturesque with views of the church across the next field. Opening the blinds in the morning to find the horse looking at you over the hedge is priceless.
We didn’t use the toilet/shower but did have a peek, and it’s a good size and very clean.
Max the owner is charming and very helpful, and obviously works hard to maintain the high standard. Attention to detail is good too, even down to the welcome note waiting for you when you arrive on your pitch.
I can’t fault this site, and am already booking our next visit.
Outstanding campsite
This was our first visit and are sure to return.
Max is very welcoming and runs a great site.
It is the most organised, well run site we have been on. We were given clear instructions on phoning. On arrival our pitch was marked with our name and a welcome note attached to a letter box where monies could be left in case Max was unable to collect.
Each pitch has water and everything is well tended, including the separate, secure, dog field.
There is an information hut with local info and book swap.
We didn't use the shower and loo but it looked clean and tidy.
Walking pretty easy from site to nearby village. Would highly recommend and site is priced to accommodate everyone's pocket.
Great owner
We stayed here at the beginning of June and spent a very enjoyable 3 nights. The site is well run and well located for Wisbech and Kings Lynn. Be warned, the traffic into Kings Lynn can be appalling at holiday times. Max, the site owner was very helpful in suggesting alternative routes and places to visit. Which brings me to the reason for writing this review (my first) - Max, was so outstanding, friendly, helpful and chatty (!), she made our stay all the more enjoyable. Thank you Max!

Amazing site, welcoming owner and wonderful view
We spent 8 nights here and would of loved to have stayed longer. Site very well kept and great facilities especially own water tap and waste water out. Fantastic fully enclosed dog exercise area and clean toliet and shower. Maxine was welcoming and friendly but not intrusive, many of the other caravanners had been before and it is obvious why they want to come back.
We will be returning.
Immaculate site
What a wonderful long weekend at the Old School House. Located just south of the church, this site is immaculately kept with generous size between pitches. Fully serviced along with showers and toilet facilities when COVID isn’t happening. Dog field for those who require it. Plenty to do around the area, we wish we could have stayed a lot longer. Will definitely be back later in the year as this is now a favourite. Thanks to the site owner for a nice chat at the end of our stay too.
Enjoyable Stay
Easy to find , easy access with choice of grass (not in November) or hardstanding pitches . Max made us feel very welcome and showed us round to explain everything . Grey waste into hedges (long pipes provided ) , water now on all pitches with elsan point over by entrance gates . Heated toilet/shower room ( a blessing in November ) spotlessly clean .
Fairly close to A47 which is busy during the day but not intrusive and fairly quiet at night .
Local village (Terrington St John ) couple mins in car has doctors , shop , chippy and pub/restaurant .
Well placed for North Norfolk , North Cambs and South Lincs as well as NT properties and Sandringham .
Highly recommend to all .
Very Enjoyable week at an Excellent CL
In summary.. excellent!
Site is spacious, pristine, clean, tidy and well cared for. Owner, is organised, helpful, friendly and informative about the local area. 16Amp EHU included. Toilet/Shower Room for exclusive use of CL users. When we were there, CL was full (five vans), no congestion. Shop, bus-stop and pub, 1 mile walk along reasonably quiet road, with footpath. Plenty of walking and (flat) cycling. Our best cycling effort was a 34 mile circuit taking in Downham Market.
