  • Modern family-run glamping site two miles from the Norfolk coast
  • A 10-minute drive from the beach; 25 minutes from The Broads
  • Pub and shop a short walk away; barbecues and campfires allowed
From crabbing off Cromer’s pier to catching waves down the local beach to simple fish and chips on the seafront, there are all sorts of Norfolk coast activities to fill your days with when you stay at Counting Sheep Glamping. A 25-minute drive away from The Broads too, this modern site has a dedicated and friendly family at the helm, including Stuart, his wife Donna and their three children. The Norfolk coast, just two miles away, has a crafty way of reeling you in. It might be down to its scenic coastal walks or its laidback beaches, but either way, you’ll only have 10 minutes’ drive to reach the closest sandy beach in Mundesley, a safe swimming spot with surfing activities. You’ll be able to get in some real relaxation on site too, as the modern facilities have a homely feel and barbecues and campfires are permitted to help stir up atmospheric alfresco evenings. The site is just outside the village of Trunch, where there’s a pub serving food within five minutes' walk of your accommodation. Handily, there's also a small shop there for food supplies and any bits of kit you may have forgotten. Outdoor pursuits are likely to fill much of your time, but a local spot high up on the family’s recommendations is an indoor soft play centre, American-style diner and bowling alley, 10 minutes’ drive away – a handy pick for entertaining kids on a damp day.

What customers say

Spotless glamping site, praised for immaculate loos & showers. Comfy tents (yurts, bell tents) & beds a hit. Secure, peaceful, great for families. Close to beaches & pub. Minor kitchen appliance niggles noted, but a fantastic, highly recommended stay overall.

Herdwick shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked We absolutely loved our stay- the herdwick hut was cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. The facilities were clean. We felt welcome and it was very convenient to be able to buy logs/fire lighters etc on site.
The hut itself felt private and it was the perfect place to be based to go to the coast, or just spend time on the lovely campsite. The kids loved the play area and toasting marshmallows!
We will definitely be back next year.

Disliked The only negative we had was we felt the communication was not great- I did try and make an alteration to my booking via email address provided and two different phone numbers but did not receive a response until I tried WhatsApp several weeks later. However; once I had made contact the hosts were very helpful and kind enough to facilitate the changes to our booking.

Sheryl H.

Romney shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked We had a wonderful one nights stay in the shepherds hut. Perfect for just what we wanted as a mini break with the kids. Great facilities ie hot showers, clean toilets in communal areas. The space for the kids to run around and explore was fab. Sitting around the camp fire eating marshmallows was perfect evening.
We will definitely be back! Thank you.

Shepherd's hut (two person)

Liked Warm cosy bed. Quiet. Toilets and showers very clean.

Disliked No instructions for hob - could not get it to work (faulty?). Fridge could not take milk bottles or juice cartons. Chipped and cracked mug. Flashing lights from alarms made sleep difficult.

Local attractions

There’s more to Cromer (15 minutes’ drive) than just crabbing… this seaside town was once a Victorian resort and the pier and pavilion still remain. On the sandy beach, surfing and paddleboarding are some of the activities of choice – the same goes for Sea Palling beach (half an hour), where watersports such as jet skiing are in full force. For those of you who are keen to keep to the water, The Broads (25 minutes) is the place to hire out a boat for the day. Otherwise, you might want to opt for fish and chips on the shore in Sheringham (half an hour) and have a traditional seaside afternoon out, including arcades or a steam train ride to Holt. Now, while the sea certainly takes some of the limelight around here, you’ll also want to map out your way to some of the attractions inland too. There’s BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes) for playgrounds and twiggle characters, but for a trip that feels a little grander, perhaps you’ll want to call in at the National Trust’s Blickling Estate (25 minutes) or Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (15 minutes), the latter also a good shout for woodland trails and lakes.
