 This was a really lovely campsite and would definitely recommend it.
We were there during the week of cromer carnival and it was quite busy, but didn't feel cramped in at all.
The warden was a lovely lady and we saw her a few times for a chat. Unfortunately we had to leave on our 4th night due to a member of family being in hospital.

Easy to find and in a great location, the site is in walking distance of the beach and the town centre.
Reception staff are efficient and to the point but not particularly welcoming; the warden is very helpful and lovely. We had electric hook up in Marl Pit field, the pitches are a good size.
The site is on hills, which provides some very good views over the sea but also means that some pitches are on a slope - although this is not much of a problem. Shower block and washing up facilities are excellent and kept clean throughout the day. There are two play areas and an adventure playground.
There is no clubhouse, which suited us but may be a consideration for others. We have visited this site on and off for over ten years and it seems to get better each time. We usually try and visit during the Cromer Carnival Week as the carnival, firework display and other related activities add value to the week, although it also means the site and the town are very busy.
Cromer is a lovely old Victorian seaside town with lots of character - our two children enjoyed regular visits to the beach, the arcades and the pier, and had surfing lessons to boot!
The beaches are clean, lots of sandy areas with areas of pebbles and rocks, the beach slopes gently into the sea providing a lot of shallow which means the children can enjoy the water without parents worrying too much.
The site is highly recommended and good value for money -we’ll be back next year.

Just had a couple of nights here, thought we would take in the Cromer carnival. It's a big sprawling site spread over 4 or 5 different fields, we didn't book early enough to get electric hook up but for 2 nights not a problem.
On arrival the conversation with the staff was brief as were instructions and a map of the field we were allocated too and told to pitch were we liked. We were one of only a handful of caravans, amongst a field of tents, they were positioned around the edge of the field with ECU, so we just plonked down in the middle of the field between two tents. The site was tidy, a bit uneven, and the facilities clean.
The roadway through the site to the camping field was a bit tight for a 7m van but not a drama. I was glad that exiting the site through the back gate was easier.
Perfect site for families particularly for children of which there were many, buy very little noise late in the evening or early morning, Just the usual small group who think the toilet/shower block was good place to play.
Easy walk into Cromer, take a torch as there are no lights on site.

Fantastic camp site with plenty of amenities.
Great location and views.
New shower blocks.
Helpful friendly staff.
Close to shop, beach and town!
No light pollution so the night sky was fabulous!
Lots of animals if you want to view them; sheep, goats, donkeys, ducks, cows and friendly pets!

It was our second time at Manor Farm Park, but this time our elderly parents also stayed in one of the gorgeous holiday cottages, more about that later.
Whilst we love camping my wife has certain expectations about the facilities. Top of the list is nice clean and functional toilet/shower facilities. The fact that we returned here for the second time says it all.
With young children we want a family friendly site with a playground and somewhere for them to run around and If staying for more than a couple of nights we’d ideally like EHU facilities. This site ticks all of those boxes and is friendly, well kept and in a great location as well.
The pitches are all well kept and a good size (although not massive). The whole site is pretty and undulating but that means that a lot of the pitches also have slight slopes here and there. Also, there are very few shady pitches but they seem happy for you to have event shelters and sun shades etc.
I’ve been reading recently that a number of sites are starting to restrict gazebos and event shelters which is a must for us with young children.
The coast and Cromer is nearby along with a good selection of shops and local facilities. In fact everything you need for a great family holiday.
Overall a great family campsite with good clean facilities and a relaxed but well run atmosphere.
As well as camping one of our sets of parents in their 70s/80s stayed in one of the holiday lets on site. This was ideal as they had all of the comforts and practicalities of a holiday let but they could still come up and have some food and sit by our tent in the evening. The holiday let was really amazing.
Fitted to an extremely high standard, really clean but some lovely thoughtful homely touches included. It was as nice a holiday let as I’ve seen anywhere and was perfect for letting our parents share our camping holiday with the kids but allowing them the level of practicality the now need.
Overall 9. 5 out of 10 for both campsite and holiday let

Just got back from staying 10 nights at manor farm ( Molls meadow ), great site, easy walk into Cromer or east runton, very relaxing holiday, been visiting this site for the last 10 years or so.
New warden on site ( Annie )comes and has a chat nearly everyday ( seen regularly all over the site ),
Toilets/shower blocks cleaned at least twice a day, site owner checks them around 6am and then again around 11pm.
Cannot fault this site in any way. Will definitely be back next year

Unfortunately the site didn't live up to expectations. We requested a west facing pitch and not under trees. What we got was an east facing pitch under trees, even though there were west facing pitches available all the 4 nights.
The pitch was a mud bath after rain due to it being in a hollow with no grass left on the ground from the summers wear and tear.
The vehicle route across the field was a well worn dusty track (except after the rain), that meant every time a vehicle drove up or down the field we were choked with dust while sat outside eating or sat in the sun, not very nice, it also meant everything was covered in a thick layer of dust each day.
I could go on, but are not normally one to complain.

Essentially this is a VERY large site comprised of 3 big fields. Quite remote from the reception area. Our check in was a little disappointing the woman at reception seemed quite stressed (it was busy with cars/vans/ caravans waiting in line) We were given a piece of paper and told to follow the instructions to our allocated field.
I do prefer site that have the personal touch and escort you to your pitch to make sure all is ok for you, not at Manor Farm! I did ask if there was plenty of space of the allocated field (as we were not on hook-up) and was told ‘you should be ok”.
In reality, when we got to the field via a 1/4 mile muddy track it was far from plenty of space, a slight departure from the truth here, there were very busy and more campers/vans arriving all the time. We couldn’t find any space at the filed perimeter and had to pitch in the centre of the filed near other tents.
The down side of this is we discovered that cars/vans were passing within1-2 metres of our pitch from early morning to around 10pm (there is no restriction on vehicle movement like most sites.
The site and facilities are convenient for Cromer (about a 20 minute walk) although the volume of people on your visit meant there were queues for showers, toilets and wash-up facilities, even at 7 am (showers/toilets).
My citation would be simply one of the owners greed, over populating the site beyond a reasonable facilities to people ratio. There were many hundreds of people on the site and only 3 toilets in each block, one block had only 3 showers. I would agree the facilities are good, very good but just far too many people using them on our visit.
Our field was strictly a no dogs field, according to the website and signs on the field but that didn’t stop dog owners excreting their dogs across our field, nor groups of children playing in the toilets, so my further question - who polices the rules? In would appear no- one, we chose this site on other reviews in that a friendly warden would come round every day to chat and check if all was ok, we never saw a warden for 3 days……
This kind of camp site attracts a certain type, you know - the ones that run their car engine to charge their smart phone twice a day (really!), presumably so they can message their friends to gloat how they are embracing the great outdoors?
In summary if you want a festival type closeness of camping with queues for facilities and no interaction with the owners/management this is the site for you, sadly it is not for me, we won’t be returning……
