Bring a torch !

Location perfect for walking into Cromer or along the Norfolk coast path. Bus stop outside site with regular service along the coast. Staff friendly and helpful. However coded entry to the washrooms is a nightmare. Impossible to see at night and need to be pressed with exactly the correct amount of pressure very difficult with old hands . Frankly this spoilt our stay. Why is this necessary. restaurant enough said by others not worth using. Shame to spoil an otherwise great site.

We chose to visit Cromer at the last minute. On the off chance there was a space at Seacroft I looked online and luckily managed to get space to overnight. The Site was pretty much full, which seems to be the norm so we were lucky. Arrived early and met by a helpful Team who quickly guided us to our reserved spot. A clear and precise Arrivals Brief was given and we had a perfect understanding of all the facilities and what was available to us. The Team were extremely diligent and delivered their duties with utmost professionalism. Facilities well maintained and clean. The Swimming Pool was an added bonus. We had a great stay, will be planning a longer visit next time - but will book well in advance! Recommend this Site to all who wish to visit Cromer and the North Norfolk coast.

AVOID THIS SITE AT ALL COST!

Worst experience in my all my years caravanning. Stay was September 2023 arrived at 2pm Struggled to find a pitch even though we had pre booked pitch with awning months ahead. Only pitch left that was totally unsuitable for a caravan with awning. One male Warden & his wife were very rude & unhelpful. Facilities are quite frankly disgusting, shower cubicle panels split cracked & Chunks of the plastic are missing, pipes corroded, broken floor tiles in showers & loos. Water points very tatty with rotting boards, you pay for “flagship” facilities, but club & pool hardly ever open. Litter & cigarette ends strewn around the site. Staff attitudes to club members is shockingly poor. Overall, Very expensive & horrible 🤢 WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS SITE

Comment from the Club

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at our Seacroft CAMC site. Though, it is always disappointing to read that one of our guests has been left disappointed with any element of their time at one of our sites.

We can only apologise that you did not receive the level of service you have come to expect as a CAMC member. The site staff team at Seacroft this year are different to those that were there last year and, as we have received glowing reviews of the current team there, we know they do a great job running this site. With regards to the facilities at Seacroft, we know they are in need of some more detailed refurbishment, rather than simply touching up and we're really hopefully this will be coming soon, we just can't give an exact date at this stage - please do keep an eye on our website and this page for further news from time to time for what is coming next in our plans.

Nice location but tired site

We have just spent 11 nights at this site, our first visit in 10 years. It's a great location being close to some great places to visit, Cromer, Sheringham and many others along this coastline. Bus stops outside the site go to Cromer or Sheringham so no need for parking fees. The site itself is in real need of updating as the facilities are getting a bit tired. The description of the restaurant, I'm afraid, is very misleading, it's nothing like it is described. We used it one night, the menu consisted of various pies with chips and peas or pizza. Two of the four pies on offer were not available and the one we had was not worth the cost. Chips were underdone and inedible, service was shocking, we waited 58 minutes from ordering to being served. The last time we came to this site the restaurant was first class, full every night with a great menu, I think the club should really rethink the advertising of this site and not bother with the restaurant at all.

Perfectly located for visiting Cromer

We recently stayed at Seacroft for 2 nights at the beginning of the month. We arrived at the site a few minutes before the allotted 1pm arrival time and received a very friendly welcome from the site managers - all of whom apologised for keeping us waiting. There really was no need to apologise, we had a better run than expected arriving in 3.5 hrs instead of the expected 4 and were more than happy to wait until 1pm for entry to the site. Check-in was seamless and very efficient, choosing and pitching our van before returning to the office to complete our booking and pay the balance. The site is pricey at £45 per night, especially for us as we choose not to use the facilities on site, preferring to use the bathroom in our van and only really using it as a base to sleep. There was a restaurant/bar and outdoor pool, again we didn’t use these, but I’m sure they’d be well used by families on site. This cost however, was outweighed by the perfect location, a fifteen minute stroll along the main road, then along a promenade that took us directly into the centre of Cromer, where we met up with friends who have an apartment in Cromer. The weather for the weekend was kind, the food was plentiful and Cromer was everything you’d expect from an old, Victorian seaside town, perfect, welcoming and unspoilt, not overly touristy and a place we’ll definitely return to and when we do we wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Seacroft CAMC site again.

Don’t rely on the restaurant serving food

One of our favourite sites and our second visit this year…very welcoming site managers who keep all areas of the site very clean and tidy….the toilet blocks are well past their best and really the club should look into upgrading these but that not the fault of the site managers .. I can only reiterate what others have said about the restaurant….closed mon and tues…then on weds the only food on the menu was pizza….then Thursday a sign out saying no food….in previous years we have eaten there most nights and the food was excellent with a great atmosphere ….this year the bar was dead and food abysmal when it was served…I think it’s time the club acknowledged this and didn’t include it in the advertising and pricing for the site.. Also the dreaded coded doors are back on the toilets etc…why I do not know..we were told because of kids but there was not a kid on site while we were there..they are not easy to unlock with arthritic hands and even worse at night as you cannot see the numbers… But it still remains a favourite of ours because of its convenience to walk into Cromer and east Runyon with a bus stop outside the gate..

Lovely stay BUT…….

Just coming to the end of a lovely two week stay at Seacroft., where we’ve stayed several times. The wardens were all fabulous , very welcoming and always cheery and helpful. Facilities beautifully clean but definitely need updating now as very dated and time worn now. The accessible bathroom also serves as the service toilet when other facilities are being cleaned which is rather unfair on anyone who needs this facility as they are requested not to shower during cleaning times, other sites mainly have a separate service toilet. This facility was also very very dated. From Seacroft it’s easy to walk to Cromer 15mins or to West Runton via the coastal path or you can hop on the bus which stops outside the site and travel to many places for just £2. There are many nice eateries around and we would definitely recommend The Corner House Tearoom in West Runton for breakfasts , lunches or just coffee and cake. In the past we have often made use of the Wanderer pub and restaurant on the site which previously provided a varied menu of good food, but this year openings and food offerings have been extremely poor and random to say the least. The chef !! resigned during our second week, and therefore no food was available. We were informed the Wanderer is now managed by a facility manager not the site wardens , though they were very apologetic for the position even though it was out of their hands. We saw the so called facility manager once , but he rapidly did a disappearing act into the back, he barely spoke and to be honest was not a people friendly person at all , not really the type of person needed to front a bar and restaurant in our opinion. We gather this last chef was the 7th to resign in 2 years , maybe this says more about the management than the chefs !!! Either way this facility does not appear to be working at present and therefore the club should review (possibly close) it and just offer the bar , coffee , cakes etc and reduce the pitch price as we are paying a premium for a facility that cannot be guaranteed. It’s a shame because up until 2 years ago it was great and we always made use of it, but you cannot charge for something that cannot to guaranteed. Consequently having been caught out after a day walking and hoping to eat on site only to find a “ No food tonight sign” we made other plans most nights , so lost income on all nights . We will visit again because it’s a lovely site in a lovely area with lots of walks and places to visit as well as the proximity to beach and coastal paths , plus we’ve heard the toilet / shower facilities are hopefully to be upgraded ( fingers crossed) .

A Little Gem

Stayed at Seacroft for 4 nights in cold and wet weather, but there was plenty to do and see. Took a 20m walk into Cromer where we can recommend the Albion pub and Mary Janes Fish restaurant and chip shop. Also caught the bus from the stop outside the gate to Wells Next The Sea, and cycled to pretty Sheringham and to Felbrigg Hall National Trust. Was greeted by friendly staff, however as site was almost full we had 3 pitches to choose from, which were not the best for rare sunny evenings. Nevertheless I can say the hardstanding pitches were mostly flat and well cared for. The facilities were standard CMC, although these which were always clean do need updating. The site has a swimming pool mainly open at weekends and for school holidays and rare for a CMC site, a nice bar for drinks. During our stay, it was very quiet in the evenings, probably as the weather pushed most people inside, but a lovely surprise nonetheless. Would certainly return to this well run site in a good location.

Ridiculously Overpriced

We booked a Grass Non-Electric Pitch over the May Spring Bank Holiday. The site map described this has an "Economy" Pitch and indeed the Warden, when confirming our booking on arrival said you've booked an "Economy" pitch. The web page, when booking just described it as Grass Non-Electric. Well let me tell you this "Economy" pitch was £47.50 per night for two of the nights and £45.00 for one of the nights, how economical is that??? Not! Approximately £6 or £7 less than a Grass or Hard Standing with Electric. This "Economy" area is the uneven Camping field at the front of the site next to the main coastal road. At £47.50 per night we were, unsurprisingly the only unit in this field, though a nice couple in a Tent did join us later. The path track from the field to the Waste Disposal, Water and Chemical Disposal area, which also provides access to the Main Site and Facilities Block is little more than a mud track and is un-lit so a good flash light is required. We have invested not only a lot of money into our Unit but also into making it quite self sufficient with Solar Panels, Quality Batteries, 3kW Inverter and LED Lighting. This has enabled us to be able to stay on Non Electric Grass Pitches but if you're still charging £47.50 a night for these areas please make some effort to offer value for money. We parked on our own in the middle of a grass field next to main road with in adequate paths or lighting. There is a Swimming Pool on this site, this was closed and doesn't open until June. There is a Bar on this site, we went in on the Sunday Evening only to be told it was shutting in 30 minutes as it shuts at 7PM on a Sunday. There is a Toilet Block on this site, which is well ready for a refurb, which I did use three times. A reasonable price for this "Economy" pitch would be about £25.00 per night I think and therefore two poos and a shower cost me about £65 I estimate and I nearly broke my neck getting there one dark, wet night. Lovely Jubbly. The area is lovely and a Bus Stop, that even those on an "Economy" pitch can use, is just outside the site. For £2 per journey(now that is value for money) you can get everywhere you need to go to explore the surrounding area without having to worry about traffic jams or parking. We went to Wells next to the Sea and Sheringham on the bus. We walked into Cromer and East Runton where the Bar opening times are a little bit more realistic. Would we go again? Yes we would definitely visit the area again, it's lovely with lots to do, but we'd stay at Woodhill Park Campsite which is the opposite side of East Runton and which was recommended by someone we met, for about £25 per night with electric and less without.

Superb stay

Fabulous stay at this seaside resort site. Short walk or bus to Cromer with wonderful walks to Sheringham and Overstrands. Trip on the Poppy Line steam train a must. We loved the site and the bar / restaurant. Facilities immaculate and extremely helpful staff. Would highly recommend.
