Quick local break

As I have mentioned many times before when reviewing this site - it's our local. It's lovely it's so peaceful surrounded by trees nature. We don't mind the dogs usually always will behaved. This is a first for us going away in the summer holidays (all grown up) . This site is a fabulous base to go anywhere in North Norfolk.

A wonderful stay

This was my first ever trip in my campervan so I was quite nervous about what to do. I needn’t have worried. I was met by a very nice lady who explained everything to me. She suggested a secluded pitch in a glade. I parked up as directed and managed to put my new awning up by myself! I had my small dog with me, so was mindful about disturbing people, but I quickly noticed that most people had their dogs with them. He took to camping like a duck to water, which helped me relax. There are some lovely walks through the woods that you access via gates on the site. It was a great opportunity to meet fellow campers on the early morning walks. Being Thetford Forest, there were sometimes when the peace and quiet was interrupted by military aircraft overhead, but this didn’t bother me one bit. The lack of a toilet block wasn’t a problem either - I was prepared! It was a brilliant short break away. I will definitely return.

Lovely stay

Stayed for 5 nights with my dog. Great area for walking as access to forest direct from site. Spacious pitch, (but I do have a very small caravan).

Been visiting this site since the 80s, wonderful peaceful place to visit, lovely dog walks through the forest. Our favourite site on the network. Perfectly kept by the amazing wardens Sarah and Keith

We love this site. Its our local, so much so they recognise us! With no kids or dogs, we love it as its quiet, peaceful escapism. Our only annoyance is those that feel the need to speed?! You're on break ~what's the rush?

Third visit and still love it. My review is a bit biased as I have a dog and she thinks the forest is wonderful. It's everything it promises and there are no negatives for us. The only minor problem for some might be the noises, at all sorts of hours, from the army base nearby but it was no problem for us.

Well kept, peaceful, basic site in the forest, lovely stay

My kids love playing in the woods, and we don't have much in the way of forests round South Lincolnshire, so I decided to take them to this site to be right in the forest - and they loved exploring. We had a hardstanding pitch with the forest right behind our van, perfect. Over the road there's a trail of info points about army camps which used to be in the area. The facilities were fine - it's a shame that there's no toilet/shower facilities, but no big deal - that's why the van has its own. The water & waste disposal points were well maintained and perfectly fine. No play facilities, but exploring the forest more than makes up for that, and there's a pleasant little playground a short drive away in Mundford. The whole site was well kept, the hardstanding pitches were very neatly maintained, and the grass pitches in the little glade in the middle looked nice too. I was surprised how quiet it was in peak holiday season - granted we were there midweek not at a weekend, but still. The warden in the office was friendly and welcoming, and willing to listen to my little boy waffling on at her bless him. My only gripe is the access road, which has quite severe speed bumps and logs laid out in a chicane-type traffic calming (or enraging!) layout - but that's down to the Forestry Commission, not the club site, and didn't really prove any problem - there's still enough space. Overall I'd happily return to this site and probably will!

Pleasant, clean and quiet.

A quite enjoyable week in nice pleasant and quiet surroundings. I was in a motorhome, which meant I needed to take enough food for the week, but because of a catering cock-up, I was short of sugar, but there was a petrol garage about a mile down the road, which has a cabin that stocks a few essentials, so I was saved. Be aware though, its a busy narrow road to walk along, especialy as the is no pavement, and a bushy grass bank. There is no toilets or shower facilities here, not a problem to me, my motorhome is fully functional for that. Ideal break for walkers, there is plenty of that.

Campervan 3 night stay

Good site, plenty of space, clearly laid out. Motorhome servicing area excellent, makes life so much easier. No shower or toilet facilities which is OK. For longer visits however would be worth considering getting some laundry facilities. Very welcoming staff. Secure site with the barrier. Very accessible location and plenty to do in the area. Able to cycle from the site through the forest and onto minor roads, though as others have pointed out be prepared for some rougher parts of the tracks and possibly walking for a little way, though not a major problem. Was a little noisy at times with the number of dogs, some early morning barking. We were able to access the wi-fi OK in the van, though we were relatively near the entrance. 4G was fine, we're with Lebara (Vodafone). Would stay again, though not sure it's one for an extended stay.
