Just returned from a 5 night stay here, it was the first time we've been here. The facilities, in common with other CC sites, are good and always clean. We found quite a few of the pitches were sloping, we were unable to get the MH level on the first 2 we tried, but it was 3rd time lucky. It's a good site for walking in the immediate vicinity of the site, and you can walk all the way up to Sandringham House. Fish&chip van and pizza van visit several times a week, we didn't try those out so can't comment on that. We cycled to Hunstanton one day and to King's Lynn the next. The cycle route (No 1) runs quite close to the site, but to access it, it involves crossing the busy A149. Not recommended for families with young children. The other alternative would be to turn left out of the site, then first left and you can pick it up at the next crossroads, but of course that involves extra distance. Cycling with the Sandringham Estate is only allowed on tarmac paths, there are notices to this effect. WiFi for us was ok, but then we were pitched next to a mast! Other people appeared to have problems, judging by some who took their tablet with them on the dog-walk, which runs past a mast. Overall an enjoyable stay, despite having torrential rain on 2 days, but there is nothing anybody can do about that!

We stayed at Sandringham the week after the Easter bank holiday and had a lovely time as usual. The welcome was so friendly from the lovely lady warden and we found a lovely pitch, although we had to pitch up in a hailstorm!! Luckily the weather improved from then on. The facilities were as always immaculate. (although I would suggest that the hand dryer in the ladies in the lower block should be moved. It is in such a silly place right next to the taps so if someone turns the tap on while you are drying your hands it blows the water all over you and the floor. Judging by the amount of water always on the floor in the that area I would think it happens to a lot of people) My only complaint was the Wi-Fi. I paid £10 and only managed to access it once the whole time we were there. I realise that the site was nearly full and there were a lot of children and teenagers there but I do think the Caravan Club needs to install a better, quicker system if we are going to pay so much for it. Also on the last night the TV booster system failed and we couldn't watch TV either - luckily we had CDs and books with us but not good for people with young families. Having said that we still love the site. It is in a lovely position and there is so much to do in the area. We visited Holkham Hall near Wells and would thoroughly recommend it. We also went to RSPB Titchwell and enjoyed the 1km walk to the beautiful beach and back. If you are not members of RSPB you can put your Caravan Club membership card on your dashboard and not have to pay the £5 parking fee. They also now hire out binoculars for about £5 a day. Despite the hiccups this time we will be back. BTW We loved the pizzas from the mobile pizza oven that now visits the site once a week.
