Something for everyone

Driving into the site, the first thing we noticed were the lovely colourful wooden characters on the central refuge welcoming you in. The same cheerful welcome applied in the office, where the wardens made time to chat a while before explaining the usual site regs etc A nice welcome which puts you in a relaxed state, ready to enjoy your break. A drive around the site to select our pitch showed a fairly full site - very popular, and justifiably so. It is a well run, attractive site with the usual club facilities, all looked after to a very high standard, which are a credit to the wardens. All the site staff on this site gave the impression that each individual visitor was important to them - and not 'just another number'! The local area has a wealth of interest for all, with beaches and activities for families, superb links golf courses for the more active, walks and cycle tracks also for the active and stately homes to visit for those with an interest in the heritage. Expect a full programme when in this corner of Norfolk and using Sandringham as a base gives good access to the many and varied pursuits on offer.

Really like this site...but

I have had the pleasure of visiting this site numerous times since I took up Caravaning.. Over the years we have visited as a couple and with my 2 grandsons, it is great - or has been... The staff are doing a great job of looking after the site... My big gripe is the children/adults on cycles for some reason they do not think the speed limit applies to cyclists...the one way system is only for cars... Perish the thought that some unsuspecting driver reverses out and hits a cyclist coming up the wrong way... Yes I should have mentioned it to the wardens... but I though asking the cyclists was the best idea... mmmm some words I have not heard in a while.. and yes I did have a father!!! Gripe over.. The site is well situated and other than the pigeon dawn chorus is quiet. And just through the woods Babingley Club,,, good beer reasonably priced.

Very Welcoming Site

We stayed at Sandringham for four nights, this was our first visit to a CMC site in Norfolk. What a lovely site. We were greeted by very friendly and helpful wardens, such a warm welcome. We chose a hardsanding pitch but grass pitches were available. Pitches were of ample size. The site is set in woodland and is very well maintained. The shower/toilet blocks, although dated slightly are perfectly clean and the showers are great. Visit to Sandringham house is a must, if you want to be lazy, take your car, 5 mins drive or walk through the wood from the site, about 25 minutes for us. Great site, highly recommended. Only minor negative for us were the pigeons, we had our cat with us and the pigeons enjoyed mating and grouping on our roof from about 5am. They also took a liking to our brand new lightweight air awning roof, sometimes 3 or 4 sat on it, quickly moved off of course. Not the sites fault and expected as we are in woodland. We loved our stay in Norfolk and will be back.

Never disappoints

Love this site, we are lucky it’s fairly local for us so visit regularly. Easy access with no narrow access roads, situated within the Sandringham Estate. Despite the very hot temperature (well into the 30c++) we were welcomed with a lovely smile and greeted like an old friend. Site is well maintained and facilities exceptionally clean. 2 toilet blocks cleaned during the afternoon, perfect. Nice walk through the Estate to the lovely Sandringham House and gardens, go into the grounds or just enjoy coffee, cake or lunch at the visitor centre. Close to the North Norfolk coast for some beach activity or a nice walk along the coastal paths.

Fabulous site

Very good location surrounded by woodland and a beautiful walk to Sandringham Estate. We stayed on a hard standing pitch, and, typical caravan club the pitches are very spacious and clean. We didn’t know whether to book here or the C&CC site next door but having walked around the latter we clearly booked the best! This site is so well maintained in comparison. Hunstanton beach is well worth a visit out. But local walks are just as beautiful. I see a previous reviewer complained about wood pigeons but apart from the odd morning where they walked on the caravan roof they didn’t bother us. It’s what we expect if we stay in woodland sites, and nature is one of the charms for us. Lots of rabbits bobbing about, and make sure you have your citronella candles with you for flies at night, especially as we sat out most nights due to the glorious weather. Toilet and shower facilities are spotlessly clean and spacious, as with lots of CC sites I suppose they could do with an upgrade but cleanliness is the most important thing to us, and there’s no complaints there. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you to the wardens for a lovely stay.

Wooded Gem

Just returned from a relaxing stay at this 'gem' of a site. The wardens were fantastic and the site spotless, all the pitches are large and spaced out well. You are surrounded by woodland and yes there are a lot of wood pigeons but what do you expect in a woodland environment? You also hear owls, buzzards and various other birds. The trip to Sandringham House is not to be missed and also the social club, highly recommended.

Helpful wardens and more

I cannot praise the wardens enough for the help they gave me at this site. From the lady warden who lent me levelling blocks to Shaun who did all the hard work showing me how to level my caravan and advising me on how to hitch up my van when I left. The dog and I loved the numerous walks in the woods, plenty of space for her to exercise off site. A great stay, thank you.

We've lost count of the number of times we have been here!!.

The journey here from home is about 1 1/2hrs and really easy. The site is always clean and tidy and the wardens always welcoming so we feel relaxed as soon as we get here. We just LOVE it! xx

Love this site....

This is a relatively small but well laid out site in a lovely setting. Our last visit towards the end of May was as enjoyable as all of our previous stays. The site was well maintained and the amenities were spotless thanks to the hard working wardens. The walk through the woods up to the house and gardens is recommended. The unspoilt North Norfolk coast is within easy reach and if you love steam trains the Poppy Line is a real must.

NEVER AGAIN

Lovely warm welcome from the friendly wardens. Very wooded site as you would probably expect. Decent facilities if a little dated. Local social club is within easy walking distance but no t sure why the site instructions direct you to walk through someone's pitch (Pitch 7) when you can just walk out of the site turn right and be there in minutes. The major downside of this site has to be the hundreds of wood pigeons. Don't be under any illusion that it's just a few. It's not. The site is infested with hundreds of them. They start at around 4am and literally don't stop until 10pm. Endless and very annoying. Spent most of the time with headphones on, not the relaxing break we were hoping for. One smart arsed member decided we were "townies" hence our annoyance. Numerous other members were making the same complaint and will no doubt vote with their feet. We've lived in the country for the past 16 years and pigeons are basically flying rats and do untold damage wherever they rein. Lovely site but we couldn't wait to leave. Will most definitely not be returning.
