Lovely Site in a lovely area of Norfolk

We often come here, as it is fairly close to where we live. The area is just perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We all love walking and being near the sea, which is only about a 15 mins journey by car. We manage to find new walking routes each time we come. Oh and the cheese scones sold at the Sandringham cafe are gorgeous!! The site was beautifully kept by the friendly, helpful wardens.

First time visit

This is our first visit to this site and found the surroundings very pleasant. A good bus service just outside the site and of course some wonderful walking trails around the Sandringham estate. The local Babington club was also well within walking distance through the woods, although a torch is a necessity at this time of the year. Sadly the welcome on arrival was not as friendly as other sites we have visited and another warden I approached while on site was not exactly helpful, perhaps caught on an off day. The site in general was clean but it would be nice if some of the stones that inevitably wash of the hard standings were swept back onto them, as it makes it somewhat difficult to pull waste tanks etc to the service points. Despite the above small points we enjoyed our stay and hope to return again at some time.

First Sandringham Visit

Having spent the last decade touring Europe and carrying out site inspections for travel guides, I wasn't too sure about what to expect from a CC site. I wasn't disappointed; Easily accessed with clear signage on the different approach roads, the site is situated in a large clearing within the forest and looks very pleasant. Booking in at reception is very easy as you park opposite the entrance door to the office, which also sells a few basics. Two modern facilities blocks were very good and very clean, the site layout and road arrangement made finding a pitch and parking up very easy, even with the stipulation that vans must be reversed onto the pitch. The electricity hook ups are arranged so that you only have to pass over no more than one other pitch with your cable, and there are also TV points for each pitch. The rubbish bin areas were clean and well organised, with separate bins for recycling. Tank emptying and motor home points were easily accessible and adjacent to the fresh water taps. The wardens were polite and helpful, even offering to order a morning paper if you wished for one. Being an adult only site, it is very peaceful and due to the nature of the location there are quite a few dogs enjoying the miles of walkways within the forest, ours included. We enjoyed the experience, even though it was mid-March and can imagine that in the warmer months it is very pleasant place to stay. We have another seven bookings already made at different CC sites round the country and hope that they are all as pleasant as this one.

A beautiful place

We have just returned from a wonderful 5 night stay at Sandringham. We received a warm welcome and chose a good sized pitch that was in full sun. Although the site is located within the woods there are many sunny pitches on the site. The facilities/toilet blocks were very clean and nice and warm. Our only negative comment would be that the lower ladies' toilet block had a sort of dirty drain smell, although it was far from overpowering. The site was very peaceful and it was just perfect to be able to do various walks from the site, including ones to the house and to the most interesting Wolferton station (privately owned but allowing access on to the platform, to see where the Royals used to alight. We also enjoyed some excellent coastal walks at Blakeney and Wells and at Brancaster. I've given the site full marks for families as our children would have loved it here when they were little. We will be back!

Not quite five star

Without doubt Sandringham is a beautiful site set in glorious surroundings. However, as with a lot of club sites attention to detail in the shower block is lacking. The showers have foldaway seats on the walls, not that I use them other than to place my bag on, but the seats and hinges are thick with caked on dust and dirt. Whilst I appreciate the showers no longer have the provision of the "mopping" facility for which I fully appreciate the reasons why, I cannot understand why during the cleaning process the wardens fail to see the necessity of cleaning the seats. I do take my own antibacterial wipes and disinfectant spray into the toilet block but due to the amount of people that use these facilities cleanliness should be paramount. Come on Caravan Club make more of an effort.

Brilliant site

We've just started our 2nd year of caravaning, this was our second visit to this lovely site, just spent 2 nights here (our first visit we did 7 nights), the wardens were very helpful, site spotless as was the toilet block, we didn't know before we went that there was a craft & food fair at sandringham so was a nice visit to the fair even though weather on the Saturday wasn't that good it was still a good fair, will definitely be coming back as on both occasion's the scenic drive at sandringham was closed, I know that on our first visit the queen was there as we actually saw her so I presume that there was some royals there again this time ( I did hear that Willam & Kate are there), so maybe this is why the scenic drive was closed again, fingers crossed next time we go we will be able to drive through the scenic route.

Just a weekend

Our first stay at this lovely site. The staff were very polite and helpful. Although we only stayed two nights being situated in our favourite county of Norfolk we were spoilt for choices of where to go....with Hunstanton always being on the list of places to visit. The site was very well maintained and clean although some dog owners think that the dog-walking area cleans itself. Surrounded by woodland with just the sound of birds singing and Owls hooting, it was a very enjoyable weekend. A highly recommended site.

Dog walkers beware!

A lovely weekend at Sandringham as usual. However a note of caution for dog walkers. We decided to try a walk in some different woods, which are on the other side of the main road from the site. (Head through the woods towards the social club, and then cross the road to Hunstanton, and walk to the right towards Hunstanton.) These woods are not fenced and there are no 'Private' signs. We followed a path down through the woods and then looped round to the right back towards the main road again through the woods. The stretch back to the main road is lethal for dogs. At every single animal track to the right of the path, there is a snare, just at the right height to catch a dog.
