 I visited this site in July with two children, this is a site with good facilities and the ability to have real camp fires makes it an absolute bonus, it is a large site so everyone there wants to have their own camp fires. Everyone here was very friendly, I contacted the owners and was told to come on down, the facilities are patrolled after dark which provides reassurance.
Behind the camp site there is a huge forest which has superb walks.
I loved it so much I am due to return this month.

Just returned from a three day break at Breck Farm. This is a very relaxed easy going place, similar to what other reviewers have said.
We enjoyed the 'pitch anywhere' rule, but you can be a little close to your neighbours when it gets very busy. I don't think I would call the facilities 'dire' as a previous reviewer said, as it would be very hard to keep them all clean when its very busy and has rained a fair bit! So definitely take some shower flip-flops! Also, when it got very busy, there was a lack of hot water.
But saying that, if your not bothered about a bit of dirt, want a campfire and loads of space for your kids to run around; this site may be perfect.

We have been to Breck farm several times as its local and great for a weekend getaway. This time was August Bank Holiday and very busy. We always pitch in the field that allows campfires and ended up down the middle which is not ideal. It's worth coming at quieter times and getting a pitch down the bottom next to the forest, more private and sheltered. You can pitch where you like and the price is cheap, simply stop at the farmhouse and pay.
The facilities aren't great to be honest, the new shower block was installed in 2010 and is an improvement on the tiny, dirty showers from previous years. But I found them adequate, tokens for the showers which were a bit hit and miss, not always hot. The floors were always wet and dirty and not much space to hang your clothes - but they do the job and there's plenty of them so no queues even at busy times. Lots of loo's and washbasins and plugs for hairdyers etc. The washing up area is good but only cold water. The shower block is a bit of a hike from the bottom of the field and only the caravans and EHU are near - but sadly no campfires in that area. Water points are up there as well.
On the bank holiday there were a few rowdy groups - but that doesn't bother us too much. The campfire thing makes it quite social in the evenings which we like.
Very safe site for kids, no playgound but the woods kept our two busy, building dens and playing on rope swings, cars can be parked next to your tent and no roads so they drive slowly so its very safe for little ones. Morrisons in Cromer is the nearest supermarket about 15-20 mins by car but you can walk through the woods to Kellingheath campsite and use their shop - but its very pricey! Some nice woodlands walks locally and Cromer is great for a day out.
The freezer block situation isn't good, large chest freezers in the shower block which is a bit of a free-for-all, we lost several blocks and in the end just took similar ones to ours which I'm sure many do!
All in all a cheap and cheerful site, well located, basic facilities but the campfires make it all worthwhile - as do the woods! Nice for a weekend but I would think any longer and I would be longing for a hot bath!

We visited this site at the end of July. We were in a party with two tents and a day tent and pitched in the field with hook-up. We thought this was a nice, friendly site. The facilities were simple (basic) - but were all that we needed - plenty of loos, showers and washing up sinks, plus freezers for ice blocks.
The site was very busy over the weekend, and at times there were short queues for washing up and showers, but this was not a major problem. The showers were a bit muddy, but I've rarely been to a site where they're not.
Our only real criticism was that the pitches seemed rather cramped in the hook-up field, so we felt very close to our neighbours (who mainly had caravans).
Would recommend this site for simple, no frills camping at a reasonable price compared to many sites (we paid £16.50 pn for 2 adults, 1 child and an infant).

Stayed here first weekend of August 2010 with our two children (aged 6 and 4)
Good points were friendly staff, lovely location surrounded by woods, lots of space for kids to play, real fires allowed (though as nearly everyone has them it's pretty smokey when there's no wind)
Bad points were the facilities seemed stretched for the number of campers on site. The bins were very full (to the point where it was hard to get more stuff in) and the hot water for showers and washing up was only luke warm. There is only one toilet and shower block which was a few minutes walk from the lower field where we were staying.
Overall, a lovely site but could do with an upgrade to cater for its popularity.

Pretty Awful place really. The showers and facilities are dire and in short supply for a site of this size.
Whilst we have no objection to the odd campfire when there are 100 + fires blazing away with small children running hither and thither until all hours of the night this is a pretty dangerous thing.
Not withstanding the need for so many to turn up their music so loud until so late and indulge in drunken behaviour with poor language. I really cannot understand why families with children would ever want to attend this location.
Being a huge site there is no problem finding a spot to pitch, but it is likely to be hundreds of yards from the aformentioned 'facilities'
It is a pity that after ringing around all day on Friday and being unable to find a location in North Norfolk available but for Breck Farm, that we ever turned up.
Left after two days as the 'facilities' were so dire that we had to seek somewhere to just get properly clean.
Was there any good points? Yes possibly. If the site set itself up in a slightly more organised, clean and disciplined manner and provided better facilities, the location is actually quite satisfactory and with good walks and woods available a family could have a really good holiday here.
The location is cheap, but an extra pound or so reinvested would bring massive rewards.

We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying for 7.
This site was perfect for us.
The main area near the facilities seemed busy to us but, we found ourselves plenty of space in the bottom field, where the kids could run around safely and without disturbing too many other people.
The thing we felt made this site better than so many others was the freedom it offered. There are some common sense rules, but not too many, just enough I suppose that if things ever did get out of hand they would be within their rights to step in.
This site does have plenty of facilities but they are nearly all in one place, which again we found good as you could find quiet.
A campfire here is a must and they sell wood and marshmallows at the farm house.
There is no play ground as such but the site is bordered by woodland that has a trim trail and nature trail running through from the neighbouring Kelling Heath Site. I can't imagine a child getting bored here but.
We will definitely be returning to what feels like a good old fashioned campsite!

Stayed for 4 nights at Breck Farm and what a brilliant experience - Camping as it should be!
The relaxed atmosphere and spacious camping area was a far cry from some sites we have experienced recently which cram in as many units as possible often at the expense of privacy.
Breck Fram gave us all the space we needed at a price that was extremely reasonable and they allowed campfires too which the children loved.
OK the facilities may not as been as luxurious as some other sites but neither was the price!
However, the water was hot, the showers plentiful and the further fields do now have a few 'emergency toilets' around the edge which were perfectly adequate for our purposes.
The site was ideally situated for exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline. We loved Sheringham's town and beach and the children loved the number of crabs that we able to be scrutinised in the rock pools!
It was also nice not to have to commit to a minimum 7 night stay which many sites ask for during the school holidays.
Keep up the good work Breck Farm - we loved you!

A hidden treasure in the heart of the north norfolk coastal area. This is a fantastic site, with good facilities, and although it is busy, you don't feel at all cramped or crowded. We felt very relaxed and comfortable here, and would most definitely use again, and recommend to friends.
One of the main attractions is that camp fires and dogs are allowed, and there is a strict noise curfew, so you can be sure of a relaxing break.
Also plenty to see locally if you intend to stay for more than a couple of days.

Had a good 4 night's break with 2 young children. Loved the freedom of being able to pitch where you want and the space available - we had a big A-frame tent and 2 cars, and it was school hols. Have looked at some of the other reviews and have to say we didn't find the camp fires a problem. The easy-going attitude of the owners does appear to attract groups and noise was an issue on one night (although one of the patrols did rectify this).
Was a bit put-off by the conditions and smell from the chicken shed - although away from actual camp area it wasn't very pleasant (I have chickens at home!)
The toilet block was just about ok - washing up facilities fine but toilets, and especially showers, could have been cleaner (very muddy). Toilet sheds in the field needed a good clean and were rather smelly but it was our choice to pitch away from main block. I found 1 shower token was fine for me and hot water was always available.
Lots and lots of space for children to run around and play - cricket, frisbee, fly kites - and good walks in the woods nearby. Can use shops and swimming facilities at 2 other sites v. Nearby (have to pay, within walking distance).
Swimming in nearby Sheringham leisure pool was brilliant.
Owners very usefully put up tide and weather information daily.
Would have liked it cleaner but will probably visit again (with dettol wipes!).
