Wild duck in norfolk, has anyone been there this summer? Had a look at their reviews but none dated this year.

We are going for 3 nights and wondered is there anything we shouldnt be missing?

Not just on the site but off site too.

Oh and, what should we give a miss?

Fingers crossed it's improved! We  went last year and it was bad, tiny pitch, everyone crammed in and filthy toilets.

I really hope it's got better, would be interesting to know

Not what I would like to be hearing!! 

Fingers crossed you have a great trip.  I have never been but noticed it seems quite a popular place with UKCS members.  Let us know how it goes

Sorry but I thought honesty was the best policy!

I think we may have just timed at a bad patch, I really do hope it's better as it's fairly local to us and the one bad weekend has now got my hubby refusing to go to any of their other parks

No problems when I went, but it was in low season. As Haven sites go it's fairly small, but everything was spotless when we had a mini-meet there - some of the pitches were a bit uneven though.

We went last year, tent pitches crammed in around pine trees and sandy pitches. Could be a lovely touring pitch if more care was taken. Toilets were ok, staff tried to keep up with them. Older kids were all over the play areas keeping the younger kids off... my 11 year old said mum can we go to a quiet site next time!! You definately need to car to get to places, site in a little village with nothing much around it.

After this we swore we would never go to haven again, hopefully things will improve, it was a lot of money for a weeks camping

Blimey, 24 years since I went on our way back down from Scotland, seemingly it hasn't improved in that time. I remember being under water in July, the awning was literally swimming.
