Old Buckenham Country Park

Liked The site was lovely, the kids enjoyed the play park. The pitches were large, and whilst busy the wasn’t a lot of noise on the site. The onsite cafe was lovely and reasonably priced. We had pizza from the food truck on Tuesday, and while a bit pricey it was delicious.
The toilet block is large, clean, and spacious. I never had to queue for a toilet or shower.
There is a lots of space for the kids to play football etc.
My fiancé did fish in the little lake. Not many swims and not much in there but he did catch a good sized perch.

Disliked There was a sewage smell sometimes, that didn’t seem to coincide with people emptying the toilets. Some times during the day the toilet block would smell of it. It wasn’t overly strong and not there all the time.
The hot taps in the toilet block are too hot! Could only use them for a second before switching to the cold tap
The bark paths. The bark was uneven and unpleasant to walk on, and we all constantly had bits of wood in our shoes!

Liked The welcome and check in was really convenient and cheery. The site is very well kept and the amenities are excellent, clean & warm showers & loos in a really nice block. The stand out feature is the bar and social area that was a lovely place to hang out, play cards, eat & drink.

Liked Lovely sized pitches facilities good cafe bar etc

Disliked Cold showers but was fixed when someone had rang them and toilets could be cleaned a bit more through out the day

Liked Really helpful and friendly staff. Great café and restaurant area.

Disliked Had an issue with the hot water on site, and it kept turning off in the evenings. Had to contact out of hours line to get someone to turn it back on.
There was a lot of groups still being noisy late into the night (past the 10pm curfew time), it would have been nice to have seen a warden inspect the site.
Shower block is cleaned at 7am, this seemed like an odd time to when most people wanted to use it.

Liked Friendly staff, park for the little one to play in, in the evening we sat outside, bought a nice cocktail and watch our little girl play with other kids. Was a nice experience on our first time using our caravan - will definitely be coming back.

Disliked I can’t think of anything I disliked.

Liked Everything to do for the children from the play area to the spacious field to play ball in etc. The kids loved it! And we loved seeing them off their iPads and being children!

Disliked The toilets. You could smell them halfway down the field. They were dirty all the time and I didn’t see one single cleaner whilst we were there.

Liked The check in process was smooth & quick, pitches well laid out and of a reasonable size. If a little close together with how busy the site was that meant they requested we not keep a car alongside. That being said ample car parking close by. The playground facility and café where a great added extra for convenience. The main toilet, shower and washing up block, a great size and laid out really well for all the needs.

Disliked Suspect we may have been there for the busiest time of year (due to the local air show) and as such it showed. During the weekend it really didn't seem like the main toilet block facility was cleaned, if at all, anywhere near as frequently as it should have been. They also seemed to have a corresponding issue with the drainage when under such demand, and as such at times there was a site wide very very un-pleasant aroma. We would stay again at a less busy time but will avoid peak demand as it just brought the experience down for us on what feels like is a great site.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're really sorry to hear that your stay coincided with such a busy time and that this affected your experience. The local air show does bring an unusually high number of visitors, and while we do our best to manage peak demand, it’s clear that on this occasion our facilities didn’t meet expectations.

We take cleanliness and site maintenance very seriously, and your comments about the toilet block and drainage issues have been noted and will be shared with our team to help us improve during high-traffic periods.

We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the site overall and would consider returning during a quieter time—we’d love the opportunity to give you a much more enjoyable stay next time.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Wasps as we were put next to the bins , having to walk right across the campsite to empty the toilet. Pitches to close together got set up then asked to move

Liked Toilets and showers were clean and large enough so never having to queue. The bar was also clean and tidy with a friendly atmosphere.

Disliked The pitches were poorly signed and I would say poorly maintained as litter wasn’t cleared but seemed to just be mown over, leaving plastic and paper behind. Occasionally got smells of what I assumed was people emptying chemical toilets drifting across the site, which were quite unpleasant and that I have never experienced before at other sites.
The bar, although friendly and clean offered only limited food options. On the occasion we visited the options were pizza or noodles.
