 We arranged a rather last minute bank holiday weekend at this site and found the site easy to find and very accommodating,
access to this site was as mentioned on previous reviews via a narrow single track road which was ok, so long as you did not meet any oncomming traffic.
Once you get to reception you are then issued with directions to get to the respective field where your pitch is. this site is huge and all the fields are networked together on sandy tracks which are again narrow and can be difficult to travel in the wet, we had a problem in that the tracks have been worn down at the edges so the car kept on bottoming out on the central section.
There is a handy section of track which takes you directly to cromer via a small industrial area which we found very useful and made for an easy walk as well if you chose not to use the coastal path.
We were pitched on the Marl Pitt field which was peaceful and well equipped with clean and serviceable shower blocks at either end of it, our pitch was however very uneven and made for hours of fun trying to level up the trailer and then awning.
All in all though we enjoyed the site and found it a very relaxing and easy going place to stay.

We stayed on this site for two nights in April. Fantastic site.
The new toilet block is spotless but could do with bins near the sinks, struggled to get hot water to start with but that was soon rectified then the water was hot!
We managed to find a flat spot near some trees which sheltered us from the wind. The pitches are of good size that our large tent would fit onto.
The reception is quite a way from the site so we didn't visit it other than to book in. The play area is in the process of being updated and two new pieces of equipment were being installed while we were there. This suited our 3 children well (3-8 years)
It was a very quiet site but we did go in low season so not many tents etc on site.
Would definitely go back again, it was good to see they were making changes and listening to feedback from reviews.

Had a wonderful week here in May. We booked a hook-up pitch in the dog-friendly field.
We loved having an easy walk into Cromer for an old-fashioned beach holiday and backing onto open fields for early morning dog-walks. East Runton was a short walk past ducks and geese to a lovely butchers shop.
The shower block was spotless and heated which was fantastic for warming up wet children. There was also hairdryer point which looked to be popular with teenage girls. Despite visiting in the school holidays we rarely queued for more than a few minutes.
There was a play area for the children as well as lots of space to run around.
There were lots of lovely walks in the area as well as touristy places to visit. Highly recommended.

Located in one of the nicest parts of the county of Norfolk, a gem of a site. We were lucky the weather was hottest October you could have and had a great chilled out weekend. Amenity blocks were kept immaculately clean all weekend and of a very good standard.
Playground area kept kids amused and was of good sturdy construction. Football area was on bit of a challenging slope though.
We were ok for access having only a VW camper but entrances and the lane would be a challenge for lesser experienced drivers of bigger units or towing large vans.
Would be a good stretch of the legs if you wanted to go anywhere off site on foot but well worth taking bikes.

We came for 6 nights arriving on a sunny Sunday 18th September.
As it was off peak we had phoned ahead and let the campsite know our arrival time. The reception wasn't open but they arranged to leave our pitch details in the phone box next to the door. Pitch was easy to find, we were on a serviced pitch on Marlpit with a fantastic view of the sea and close to the facilities.
Facilities were excellent, always clean and plenty of hot water for showers. There were no bins around the wash basins for tissues, make-upwipes etc. Which would have been useful.
We walked to Cromer and East Runton on several occasions, both within easy reach. Plenty to do in Cromer, visited the cinema and also used the train to get to Norwich and Sheringham. Infact, we didn't use the car once during the whole week but if we had stayed for longer there were plenty of places within easy driving distance to visit.
Had a really good week helped by the excellent weather, would certainly come back to Manor Farm again!

Have just returned from a weeks stay on Manor Farm, having booked on the basis of the previous reviews on here. We stayed on Marl Pit Field, in a complex of three fields that make up this rather large site.
The site occupies the hilltop above Cromer town, some of the field has sea views but is very sloping and we decided to forego the view in favour of a flat spot instead.
Accessing the site is not that easy, both access routes are along very narrow dirt tracks and we saw many vans and caravans struggling to get in, my partner, the driver of the party, thought a little money spent on widening and tarmacking these wouldn't go amiss, considering the amount of traffic up and down.
Reception is a full mile away from the actual fields which shows the size of the place, and we only went down on the first night to check in.
We saw no other staff the entire time we were there except for the male cleaner who would wander into the ladies showers whenever he liked without warning. A more noticeable presence would have been nice. The site takes all groups, including large and single sex groups, and so it was very noisy a lot of the time.
First impressions were that the site was very busy with little room to spread out but we spoke to campers on repeat visits who said it was actually quite quiet for the time of year.
We didn't have a hook up so had no reserved spot, but despite most of the field being quite slopey (something commented on by previous reviewers) we managed to get a great flat spot in front of a small group of trees midway between the two shower blocks.
Despite its size the facilities were perfectly adequate with six showers and six wash up sinks across the two blocks just for this field. The new block seemed to attract most use and we quickly realised that the older (but perfectly clean and usable) block never had queues so this was the one we used.
I also made use of the laundry room, hand-washing some things before using the tumble dryer to get them dry. (£2 a use, washing machine is £3) both the washer and dryer shut off if you open the door. There are also freezers for ice packs.
Our three year old loved the playground but it is a little tired and could do with updating. There is also a playing field at the edge of the site but this was a fair distance from our tent and too far to let the little one go alone, so we never used it.
The ice-cream van that comes round every night was nice, but this was the only 'extra' on-site. There is no shop, or bar on site.
Cromer is a gentle 30 minute walk downhill although more taxing coming back up. Co-op and Morrisons supermarkets are just halfway down the hill.
The only drawback to the location is that there is no pub or restaurant anywhere nearby, you have to walk down into Cromer itself for anything like this, and then we found most of the pubs were child tolerant rather than child friendly, the Wellington on the front and Buddies by the train station would be my recommendation, (surprising given the fact that Buddies looks more nightclub than pub, but the staff were great with our little boy when we called in at tea-time one day. )
Overal we can't wait to return to the area as there was so much to do, Bewilderwood near Wroxham is a must if you have kids, and the Aylsham light railway was also great fun. Felbrigg and Blickling hall are both close by and are national trust, well worth a visit and again are great with kids.
We will however look for a smaller site with a bit more personality to it than Manor farm; my partner called it a field with a shower block, which sums it up well, it's a perfectly acceptable site but nothing special and not the cheapest either.

Good site with easy access to Cromer. Very narrow, single track access road to fields which can be difficult when meeting cars coming opposite way.
Site doesn't accept credit/debit cards so had a bit of difficulty paying balance on arrival as hadn't taken a cheque book with us! Ended up using all cash we had plus raiding kids holiday money, which left us needing to find cash point asap!
We were on Marl Pit field with electric hook up. As is was so busy we weren't given a choice of pitch, but were told which number pitch we were on and given a site map to direct us to it. The pitches weren't the biggest, and although the field was big, it did feel crowded due to so many tents being allowed to pitch. The tent to the right of ours actually had their guy ropes crossing ours!
There were 2 toilet/shower blocks on our field, they were always kept clean and showers were free and hot (too hot on some occasions for our children).
There was always a queue for showers in the women's block, but my husband never had to wait in the mens. The washing up area was outside, but under cover. There was a laundry room with a couple of freezers for ice-packs. We used them on the first day and lost half of our ice-packs! By the end of the week we managed to find 1 of them but the others never came back, despite being named and banded together.
There was a children's play area and a large field designated for kite-flying and ball games, which our kids loved - they made friends quickly and this was a great place to meet.
The site was well-drained - we had some torrential rain during the nights, but it never got really muddy. It was also VERY windy most of the week, which is probably due to the site being on quite high ground so close to the coast. Our tent stood up the the winds fine, but a couple of others weren't so lucky and windbreaks weren't a good idea.
Cromer was a short drive - we did try walking from the site and ended up lost in a housing estate! The beach is lovely with the usual shops, cafes and promenade attractions. The pier is great - the kids loved trying to catch crabs.
There is lots within driving distance, my son & husband loved the Muckleburgh Collection, and Amazonia Zoo was another favourite.
All-in-all a good well-priced site, but could do with fewer tents being allowed during peak summer months.

Visits for the second time at during the first week of August, and once again very happy with the site.
Busy, but not overcrowded. We were shown a suitable pitch on arrival, with space allowed for friends who joined us a couple of days later.
Good, well drained site.
Facilities good, cleaned regularly and to a high standard. Just the occasional dip in water temperature at busy times.
Good location - nice sized Co-op within 10 minute walk on a quiet road, so the children could walk there to do the shopping without having to cross a busy road. 15 minutes or so on foot into Cromer itself.
Friendly owners - efficient on arrival.
The only criticism I would offer is that there is not enough space in the freezers for ice blocks in Marlpit Field. The two that are there are overfull and therefore spend a lot of time being opened and closed, so the contents don't freeze down well.
I would recommend this site for those visiting the area and would return again.

My husband and all 3 of our children ( now also our 6 grandchildren) have stayed at Manor farm since 2000. Every year we say we shall go somewhere different but where do we end up Cromer!We have a 6 hour journey to arrive at the site but the journey is worth it. The owners are very helpful. The wash facilities are always clean. Yes, the cleaner does walk into the ladies block so maybe a little thought in this area. There are no pubs or clubs on the site but this is what we like. No noise and all campers respect each others privacy. To sit out in the evening, peaceful surroundings, and watch the shooting stars is a fantastic. I would recommend this site to all who like the peace and quiet with no hustle and bustle

Our first proper camping trip with our new tent - just one night but such a lovely weekend.
Cromer is kitsch, erring on the lived in side but a gorgeous coastline and lovely small stretch of penny arcades - Our 6 year old loved it. You can get to see lots of different sides to Norfolk from here - traditional seaside, gorgeous manor houses, coast, greenery, marshes. Beautiful.
Easy to find, pretty big site comprising of separate fields - though we did drive around for a while trying to find the perfect spot - lots to choose from but also a little hilly in places.
Play park - good.
Shower blocks - Amazing. Really clean. Shower cubicles nice and big. Power sockets.
No shop.
Location - Near perfect. Sea views. Walking distance (about 20 minutes) to Cromer, which is lovely - go to Mary's for Fish and chips. Salt marshes neadby at Siffkey were gorgeous.
I could stay here every weekend and be pretty happy with that.
