 This was our first time caravanning with our own tourer so it was great to have such an excellent experience at this site. We arrived far later than planned but still greeted at the Reception with no problems at all.
The site was easy enough to find with a mixture of SatNav and good signs/instructions on the final part of the journey. On arrival the Warden was happy to give us some guidance when setting-up and we had a chat with him a few times during the week. Again, very friendly and approachable.
We stayed in Molls field as have two dogs and there was no shortage of nice walks in the permitted areas of the site and also down to Cromer via the track/costal walk.
The weather was mixed but on the days the sun shone we made the most. East Runton beech was beautiful and unspoilt, Cromer was charming and we had access to the local stores but as others have said, you would never know they are so handily near by but not 'in your face'.
Really well maintained and clean shower/wash-up facilities and a tumble-dryer for the day the heavens opened. Would recommend this site and pleased we had such a great time on our very first outing.

We had a lovely stay at the Manor Farm campsite. It is ideally situated for Cromer - a track leads from the campsite into the town and also to the beach. The views are amazing, you can see the sea on the horizom. We stayed in Marlpit field, which was ideal for families as there was a playground and two toilet/shower blocks on the field. It was a busy site, and when we arrived on the Saturday it was very busy, but several units went on the Sunday.
Facilities include a play area, with equipment more suited for slightly older children (5+) rather than toddlers. There is also a play field for ball games and kite flying. As mentionned there are two toilet blocks. One has an outside washing up area, freezers for ice blocks, showers (incl a family shower room) and toilets. The other toilet block also has a washing up area, a laundry room, plenty of toilets, but rather disappointing showers (dribbles of water rather a 'shower'). Both toilet blocks were clean with plenty of loo roll.
Locally we enjoyed Cromer beach, and town, and a visit to Wells next to Sea, which my two boys adored for it's crabbing at the harbour and the vast beach. We also visited Wroxham for a boat trip.
The site felt very peaceful and friendly, and was perfect for families.

Lovely open campsite, shower/toilet facilities were more than adequate and pretty clean.
Visited as three dads camping trip with 5 kids, and two tents.
We arrived late after a three hour drive and struggled to find two pitches close to each other, eventually we did and managed to get the tents up before heavy rain. Once the rain had cleared the kids were out playing as they should do whilst us dad got the BBQ and beers going.
The next day we had a good walk through the pathways into Cromer for a pub lunch and to allow the kids to play join the beach.
The play area was sufficient and not really that noisy when we stayed.
Amazing how you drive three hours and then pitch up next to a classmate of your sons! Small world but would recommend the campsite.

Good directions, well signposted. Reception lovely and very helpful. All fields well signposted, warden on hand to help you to your pitch.
Toilets and showers spotless, spacious and enough of them. All facilities very clean and all in one place.
We had a superb pitch on Molls Meadow, nearly panoramic sea views, hook up nice and close as well. Co-op, Morrisons, Argos, Halfords are all in easy walking distance from the site, but you would never really know that if you just stayed on site!
Short, easy and nice walk to Cromer, where the beach was easily accessible and dog friendly on the side we went to. Sea is fairly clean, if I had my wetsuit I would of joined the kids in the sea.
Overall this is an excellent site, well maintained, clean and only a short distance from home. We will be back for our summer hols.

Spent a gloriously hot couple of days here just at the beginning of the holidays. We were on the Gurney Plantation, a terraced field for caravans that had great views of the Sea.
It was very quiet and relaxing.
The only down side was the showers. They were the warmest, most powerful showers I have ever had at a campsite but the water didn't drain quick enough and we (my 4 year old and I) ended up paddling! Good job I hadn't left a towel or clothes on the floor in the changing bit!
We will, however, be back!

Lovely site. This was a last minute booking and we had no problem getting a pitch.
We had a standard pitch on the Marlpit field (tents and campers, no dogs). This was mostly flat with the hook up pitches around the edge.
The toilet block was modern and always clean and stocked up with loo roll. The showers were clean and fully functioning in separate cubicles within the toilets.
The owners let you use a shortcut across their land that brings you out closer to Cromer than going back through the front entrance. It takes about 5 minutes in the car and about 30 minutes on foot.
Cromer is a typical seaside town with fish and chips, ice cream, pubs, gift shops, seafood stalls, a pier (which is fantastic for crabbing!) and a small fun fair for under 5s. It also has a few restaurants and then the usual banks and a few high street stores like boots and superdrug.
There is a Morrisons and Co-op in Cromer too as well as a petrol station.
We will definitely return in the future.

This site can be summed up really in one sentence 'A site with nothing on it but has everything'! to be blunt no pub, swimming pool, amusement arcades etc and any of these would probably ruin what is a very spacious and well kept site,
Yes the showers can be temperamental but they are free, the only thing really lacking is the amount of them per block, having gone bank holiday week we found ourselves waiting for showers most days,
Enough of the moans and on to the good points. On arrival you book in at the reception which is pleasant and having been before knew where to go, but if you are a first timer here the directions are very well signposted,
The children's play area is small for size of site but kept our 12 year old more than happy,
Pitching here is flat and good ground the only advice is to try to pitch 'sheltered' as when the wind blows here it blows!
Just a 5/10 min walk is the local co-op which is a large store and has all you would need or just another 5/10 min after that there is a Morrisons.
Not far from that is the sea front (Morrisons petrol station is here too) which is unspoilt and crab fishing is a must do for good cheap family fun,
All in all if we were to come back to this part of the country again I would have no hesitation in coming back here.

I've just returned from my 1st visit to manor farm campsite. What a delightful site this is a lot of the pitches are nestled away in little sheltered spots which we were grateful of due to gale force winds on the Thursday and Friday night.
Toilets were clean and warm although when the site was full on arrival on jubilee weekend the showers were cold on a few occasions which is not a plus, also there was no baby change facilities in the family shower room and no soap to wash hands it could also do with some hooks to hang clothes on in there. Soap dispensers were lacking in the toilets as some had a sink and a toilet in them with no soap.
The laundry was good although could do with a spin dryer to spin clothes dry as a mum with a small child a little hand washing is a must and a spin dryer would have been a big help.
These are all minor things. All in all a very enjoyable holiday on a beautiful site I'm sure we will be back at some point in the future.

We've just returned from a glorious week here, so it was a little breezy (and this site feels it), but barely any rain, and 25 degrees heat. Lovely.
Clean Facilities Blocks, with a couple of newer ones that have better shower layouts than the slightly older ones - that is there's some dry floor remaining to get dressed on - but still definitely some of the better ones I've used in my time for sure, ie my wife and I usually put off showers at campsites and rely on wet wipes every other day(hey. We're roughing it aren't we), but we were proper twice a day here.
Breezy, coastal hill top so strap it all down.
We rough it with our tent and rely on candle power, though jumbo-tents with electric hook-up seemed more popular here and they really pack-em-in, so if you don't need that you could well find yourself with a bit more space, though the non-hookup spots in Marlpit field were a little more sloping and less sheltered which was a shame
There is a train line that loops around the perimeter of the farm and you even drive under it as you enter the site so you do hear that about once an hour between 7 am and 11 pm but it's not a busy line and is in the distance so not particularly intrusive.
Be warned this is a family site on weekends, especially since we found it as a No. 1 with Cool Camping for Kids book. Though we're just a couple with no kids and still enjoyed the place enough.
10 min walk to Co-op (15 minute less able bodied/fit/ gentle amble)
15 minute walk to Morrisons
20-25 min walk to Cromer centre and Mary-Janes Chippy Shop, all gentle down-hill (but obviously up-hill on the way back)
One night of the four we where there some Military Jets were obviously practising some fancy low speed manoeuvres around the coast this was very loud, and was off-n-on for an hour or so at about 7pm on a Thursday.
Otherwise a top campsite, with absolutely loads nearby within easy walking, but if your more mobile, our favourite must-do was Seal spotting from Morston Quay for only £9 each, there were loads basking on the tidal sands in the sun. Probably close to a hundred dotted around, and we were taken to within 20 metres or so, so don't worry about binoculars or anything.

Just returned from a last minute booking at this site and what a lovely site it is.
We stayed on Moll's Meadow as we had our little dog with us and this field is just for dog owners. We had a lovely view of the sea in the distance, EHU and an excellent toilet and shower block on this field though we did have issues on our last day with water pressure and lack of hot water.
The entrance in is a tad nerve wracking being so narrow and we would have struggled if we'd met an oncoming large vehicle which thankfully we didn't !
My only concern is for the 'alternative' entrance that you are told about on arrival which is a track that leads down onto an industrial estate and directly out onto the main road to Cromer. I feel this could benefit from security as I didn't feel 100% confident leaving our van to go out when anybody could have driven onto the site from this track unchallenged.
All in all though a hidden gem on the east coast and we will be returning.
