A right Royal Site
First visit to the Sandringham site and we stopped for 4 nights. We were welcomed by a very friendly site warden, who helped us identify pitches that were not under trees and would be good if the sun came out. Weather unfortunately was very ‘hit and miss’, we would have lovely sunshine and then heavy showers, and this did make some of the pathways outside the site muddy. The sites pitches were of average condition and are mostly level but we found we had to use ramps as the slope was too great. The facilities are the old standard CMC style and do need to upgraded, but they were always clean. There are some good cycle routes form the site which we tried, one to Wolferton station (the ex Royal Train Station for Sandringham), one to Kings Lynn, and one to the Sandringham Estate. You can also walk to Sandringham which takes about 50m, which we did and we bought tickets for the Sandringham House and Gardens well worth a visit. These cycle and walking routes were handed to us on arrival by the warden. There is a nice pub and a quaint tea garden at Castle Rising both were very good, and there is a bus stop outside the site for the Hunstanton to Kings Lynn bus. The site shop sells some essentials like milk, but would suggest you arrived well stocked as supermarkets are quite a trek unless you have a car. For the majority of our stay the site was quiet and peaceful, only broken by the evensong of cooing of pigeons or barking dogs. Good thing due to sites remoteness, a fish and chip van and a pizza van come on site during the week
