  • Family-friendly Norfolk coast site with views of beach and salt marsh
  • A 10-minute drive to Wells-next-the-Sea; 15 minutes to Holkham Hall
  • Next to the coast path, a short walk from Stiffkey shop and pub
Set off to the north Norfolk coast and a splendid Stiffkey location set between the saltmarshes and the beach – High Sand Creek Campsite has been a popular seaside retreat since the early 1970s, and with a location like this it’s easy to see why… Book a pitch here and you’ll be staying right by the coastal path on the edge of the pretty village of Stiffkey, between Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea. It’s all big skies, wildlife-rich saltmarsh views and natural entertainment around here, with plenty of woodlands and creeks to explore as well as some gorgeous beaches. The site’s setup is a traditional one, with handy amenities like toilets, showers, chemical disposal, a launderette and a washing-up area but no noisy entertainment or fancy facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome, and there’s plenty of space on the pitches to get set up just how you like it. Getting out to explore should be straightforward from here, with things like Morston seal-spotting trips and the fabulous beach at Holkham within easy reach. There's also a little maritime museum on site to tell you a little bit about the history of the place. The edge-of-village location is a handy bonus here as well, as it means it’s just a short walk to the local pub (serving food all day), a shop and a café, plus bus stops for picking up Coasthopper services to other destinations along the shoreline.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Very clean toilets and showers, beautiful sunsets, spacious pitches and wonderful location on the salt marshes.

Disliked: Other campers letting their dogs run around with no leads, we spotted 2 dogs poo on our pitch, it would be nice whilst camping to be able to let you children roam around without fear of stepping in poo remnants… could dog owners stick to their dogs pooing on gravel track for example?

From the manager: hi thankyou for the feedback we will remind dog owners of the site rules and keep a closer eye on the dogs
we apologize for any mess on the pitches we try to check them everytime they are emptied

Friendly, extremely well maintained site.

Liked: Campsite was brilliant as right on the coast path but you could also access an unbelievable beach by walking across the salt marshes, unreal !! We picked the right time to visit as the weather was beautiful. Facilities were very good, clean and tidy and pitches were well spaced. Owner very friendly on arrival.. a perfect stay with an awesome sunset.

Local attractions

Coastal antics are likely to dominate much of your time here – top highlights locally are the colourful beach huts and seafood restaurants of Wells-next-the-Sea (10 minutes’ drive), the sweeping forest-backed sands of Holkham beach (15 minutes) and boat trips from Morston Quay (15 minutes) to see the resident seals of Blakeney. While you’re at the coast, it’s very much worth stopping by at Holkham Hall (15 minutes) to stroll around the grounds or visit the hall’s art collection. Other historic buildings nearby include the atmospheric ruins of Binham Priory (10 minutes) and the Jacobean mansion Blickling Hall (35 minutes). A different take on the past awaits at Langham Dome (five minutes), which gives an insight into life on an airfield through World War II. Sticking to the outdoor scenery, perhaps you’d like to take walks through Holt Country Park (20 minutes) or the gorgeous grounds of National Trust - Sheringham Park (25 minutes). For an easier way to see your surroundings, try a ride on the North Norfolk Railway from Holt station (20 minutes).
