What customers say
This is a quiet, simple site with basic facilities, including portaloos and a water tap. Pitches are level. While some guests found it a little expensive for what it offers, others appreciated its peaceful nature and proximity to walking routes. A shop and cafe are a 25-minute walk away, with a bus stop 1 mile distant providing access to coastal towns. Friendly help from staff was noted.

Very very quiet but close to coast.

Liked Just a mile away from the coast road, the campsite is a great base to explore North Norfolk but have peace and quiet away from the hoards- even in August.
Tons of space. Simple and easy.
Great place to cycle from.

Great site. Near to a beautiful stretch of North Norfolk coastline
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely rural quiet and relaxed campsite only a stone’s throw from a very beautiful stretch of the North Norfolk coastline. We walked to Stiffkey which is just over a mile from the site, and it’s then easy to access the coastal footpath. Wells next to the Sea, Morston, Blakeney and Cley are all only a short drive away. There are plenty of footpath nearby.
The site is a large well mowed open paddock field with plenty of space between everyone, and the owners are very friendly.
It is a basic site as described in the online description but our campervan can go off grid and has everything onboard so note we didn’t need facilities.
Great mobile signal which is always a bonus for Norfolk!
Stiffkey has a lovely village store which serves coffees and homemade cakes in their courtyard.
The site is only a short walk from The Dome on the old WWII Langham airfield. It was a training facility.
Binham priory is a few miles away and there are plenty of other places to visit in this area.
We will definitely stay again.

Pub at Stiffkey 1m. Easy cycle to Cley or Blakeney.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Basic, no frills site- exactly as described- it’s a field on a working farm. Fresh water, waste disposal and two portaloos. Absolutely no WiFi. Beautiful countryside. Stars at night. Laid back and peaceful.
Disliked Nothing.

Great site but toilets need checking and cleaning more regularly.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Great view of the sheep on the hillside and lots of space to choose where to pitch your tent.
Disliked The portable toilets were a disappointment . They were very over used and therfore one ran out of fluid to flush and the other one was then so bad I actually gagged.

Excellent site for back to basics feel and some peace and quiet!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked So so peaceful and quiet! Well kept and no “set” pitch, which meant we could have our own space between each tent and didn’t feel cramped!! Port- a -loo toilets were clean and backup loo roll was on hand! Beautiful sunsets/sunrises. About a 5-10 minute drive into central Wells.
