What customers say
A peaceful, no-frills spot with basic amenities (portaloos, tap), level pitches. Some found it pricey, others loved the quiet and walks. Shops/cafes 25 min walk, bus to coast 1 mile. Staff were friendly.

Added bonus of chatting with the owner!

Great site. Near to a beautiful stretch of North Norfolk coastline
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
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.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
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.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
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.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Excellent site for back to basics feel and some peace and quiet!
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
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.

Would come back for a weekend stay but not for longer.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Very relaxed and lots of room. Good ground for easy pitching (flat, no stones). Easy to find.
Disliked For a longer stay the toilet facilities are insufficient. Not only is there no shower, also no sink, no option of washing onselfe. Might be ok for campervan but difficult for people with less gear like us. Toilets cleaned every 10 days.
