We lived in Norfolk for a while. We were at RAF Coltishall. We liked going to the resorts like Cromer in the low season when it was quiet. Busy in high season. As was anywhere on the Broads. My wife worked at Norfolk and Norwich hospital.

I spent a few months at Wattisham too, they had Lightnings then which were loud! There used to be a fair few RAF and US bases in East Anglia.

We have been back a couple of times staying at C&CC site at Sandringham.

Sandringham is one of our favourite of the larger sites, and we have been there several times.

Have you tried them both, Colin? Wondered which you preferred, if so?

Both Mick? If you mean Sandringham and the smaller site at Middleton (Westfields Camping Site), they are very different sites in very different locations. Westfields is a lovely small site just outside Kings Lynn, and is closer to the town and shopping centres. Sandringham on the other hand is a very much larger site on the way from Kings Lynn to Hunstanton. Both sites are quiet but very different. Westfields offers a more family-run atmosphere, (the owners live on site) whereas Sandringham has more of a corporate feel to it, although when we have been there we have always found the staff to be very friendly. Westfields is adults-only, whereas Sandringham caters for families, but as we tend to only go in school term time, it doesn't matter much to us.

As to which we prefer, that's a hard question to answer as they are so different and they are in different places. We have good friends in Dersingham and Heacham and Sandringham is much closer to them, but Westfields is cheaper and more convenient for supermarket food and a large retail park. In short, we like them both for different reasons and I would certainly recommend either of them.
