What customers say
Guests loved the tranquil vibe, welcoming staff, and onsite brewery. Facilities are mostly clean & well-kept, with surprise entertainment a hit. Some noted shower temp/privacy issues, and a few pitches were small or not perfectly clean.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Nice site, good facilities, but noisy campers.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Economical price appreciated
Lovely friendly staff, useful to have someone there in the bar most of the day. Also pop up pizza van was lovely to have.
Good number of portaloos. Fresh drinking water and washing up area.
Lovely trees, nice view over open farmland. Good location for beaches and broads, although both were a drive away.
Disliked I really did stress test this site as I stayed on the night before the August bank holiday Monday!
Having said that, all the toilet paper was gone and not replaced. Fair enough I always bring my own anyway.
I didn't shower as only staying one night and heading to beach next day
It was INCREDIBLY noisy with campers who seemed to think tent camping = party. Playing music on their large outdoor speakers and flying their mini drones over the other campers :-(
Sadly I won't be risking a return visit unless music is banned or there is a quiet zone or field well away from the party people, for those who prefer either listening to the birds or their own music through headphones....
Also I couldn't find any decent footpaths walking distance from the site for walking the dog but that's an issue in alot of places.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good position for touring around north Norfolk with plenty to do in the area. The most important thing to say about this review.You cant really complain about anything as the price reflects. Was not expexting much. But the site is well managed . Has a bar with onsite brewed craft beers. Wish it was open later.A little shop. Showers addequate as with the toilets. Staff friendly and helpfull. Had a lovely few days. Weather was kind.
Disliked I dont like the word disliked. Could do with more showers when busy. Not many campers on site. But most using one toilet. Got dirty quickly and lack of loo paper and hand sanitiser. No sinks to wash hands. No hot water at washing up facility. Pitches too small for larger tents. Very close together. There is some road noise. This site has massive potential. This is the first year open. I am sure things will improve as time goes on. And i wish the team all the best in the future. Would we return. YES.

Excellent base for visiting the area.

Liked Pitches were well marked. Facilities were basic but clean. Shower was surprisingly good. The beer in the tap room was excellent.
Disliked Road noise although that wont put us off booking again.

Great place to stay, peaceful, fun, friendly, good facilities
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Everything! Good size pitches, plenty of toilet facilities, great shower and washing up area with drinking water (slightly away from the camping area which provides privacy), friendly and helpful staff, great tap room onsite, there was a lovely farmers market to browse, brilliant quiz on the Sat evening and food was available from Big Nap Pizza Co which was amazing! All round a great place to stay and have a fun weekend. Very relaxing and peaceful site even with the tap room right there.
Disliked Nothing!

Fantastic value, great surroundings, brilliant staff, great fun!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great place, lovely surroundings, great staff very helpful and friendly. Porta loos on site, always stocked with paper, didn't smell like typical porta loos. Walking distance to village, lovely food and beer garden.
Farmers market was on the Saturday , great to have a wander around. The brewery had a pub quiz later that night too, great fun! Good laugh, locals and campers attended. Well stocked bar, reasonably priced too. Would stay again.
Disliked Pitches quite small considering size of the field. Was unsure where to park the car! We had a tent and gazebo, had to park it outside the pitch boundary. Vehicles could still get thru tho.

Site ground needs improving and larger pitches
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Friendly staff in the brewery . Toilets were clean.
Disliked The camping area was mostly ground covered in nettle and thistle. Feet stung constantly (was wearing crocs 🙃) Tents very close to each other, very small pitch only about 1.5 m apart.( thought tents had to be alot further apart for fire safety) When asked where water tap was, was told there wasn't one. (Apparently one has just been fitted behind the only 2 showers)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi, apologies you were stung, its the nature of a farm field that sometimes there are some thistles and stingers out there. Also, we did message to say there was a sink behind the showers with water. however, we were aware this wasn't suitable for filling larger containers. Thankfully, a tap had been fitted by this for that very purpose but we were unaware it was done, so omitted to tell you about it. Water is also available from the brewery... Its out first year so still learning so thanks for your feedback
