We stayed here for 7 nights (2 adults and 2 children aged 9 and 7). We stayed in a tent on a serviced pitch in the Marl Pit Field.
The warden was there when we arrived and told us where to pitch the tent, he could be seen every day riding round on his bike.
The campsite is peaceful, ideal for families and couples, in the heart of the North Norfolk coast deep in the country or so you think!
Down the other track away from the Village of East Runton towards Cromer is everything you need - Co-op, Morrisons, Argos etc. The idea that you are in the middle of the countryside is lovely.
The facilities on site were adequate the owners have recently built a new amenity block in the Marl Pit field but the one closest to us was the older block. They were cleaned daily but did get quite messy towards the end of the day which when you consider the number of people using the facilities it wasn't surprising (although why people can't tidy up after themselves is beyond me). There are 4 showers in the ladies and I only had to queue once.
There is plenty to do within the local area.
We drove to Sheringham which is about 10 minutes in the car and went on the North Norfolk Steam Railway which was like stepping back in time. The line terminates at High Kelling and there is a bus which takes you into Holt which is a beautiful little town. Byfords Coffee Shop is worth a visit.
We also went to see the seals at Blakeney Point. There are several companies which run the boat trips and it is worth making a note of the details before you go so you can book in advance as the trips are very popular.
The town of Cromer is a traditional seaside town and not over commercialised. The beach is clean and the children enjoyed it. There are a number of other beaches along the coast towards Blakeney which looked lovely. We also visited the Shire Horse Sanctury at West Runton which is the next village along.
Overall we had a lovely holiday and would visit the site and the local area again.

Just returned from our 4th visit to this site and as always the site keeps getting better each year which is down to the owners making improvements every year ie new shower
Stayed on molls meadow the pitches were a little short of grass and a little bare put this was due to the very dry weather they have had which is not a bad thing
The site is very clean and lots of free hot water never had to queue for shower and the site was very busy the whole 2 weeks we were there
They is always something to do on site or off site play ground for the little ones football pitch, ball games then you have beach 10min walk away and cromer pier crabbing keeps the kids happy for hours
The local coop & morrissons are a short walk away for all your needs argos & halford if you forget anything & a camping shop in west runton
Molls meadow is for campers with dogs which is great but the down side to this years visit was being woken up at 6.30am by screaming under 5yr old children, not dogs barking (dogs were very quiet)and would also say that a few dog owners were allowing there dogs to run loose and fowl the site. Also dogs being on too long a leash
But dont let this put you off this great site a word with the warden soon puts it right
Looking forward to next yrs visit as we pre booked before we left

Good site, clean toilets and showers, we stayed on Marlpit Field, fairly level good sized pitch, we were lucky and had a corner pitch No. 19.
Backed up to the children's play area which was ever populated by excitable screaming children from 6.30am until 10.30 pm.
20 minute walk into Cromer, make sure you know the way though as map provided by site very unclear. Cromer lovely and fairly unspoilt, Sherringham very touristy and full of the usual Tat shops.
Would visit again, but not near the kids play area.

We chose Manor Farm for our first camping trip and we were not disappointed. Excepting the slightly grumpy welcome (as mentioned in other reviews) we had a fantastic time and the facilities were great.
We stayed in Marlpit field and had a good spot, although on a bit of a slope, close enough to the loos and showers for my 3 year old. We felt it was a really safe site, my 1 year old chased my 3 year old round quite happily around all the tents and made friends with other children in the play area.
Great facilities, plenty of showers, water and washing up facilities at no extra cost and just a charity donation for your ice packs (don't forget to label yours!).
Highly recommended we will go back.

Stayed the last 2 weeks of July, first week very quiet -schools not out yet, the first weekend of the hols were extremely busy and the shower block could not cope, queueing from 6.30 am - never known any camp site up as early as me usually! Very close to co-op a short walk away and also Morrisons - not much further. Had a car problem during holiday and asked the reception for local garage the ladies in the reception were very helpful, also the garage 10 mins walk from camp were very helpful and very friendly.
Travelled on the train a few times from Cromer - 10 min walk from site so don't have to take the car everywhere. Norwich has a lovely market, and good shopping. Would go again

Excellent campsite in a great location. The site adopts the Camping and Caravanning Club's 6 metre rule, however in busy periods this isn't enforced.
After a quick search on UKCampsite.co.uk we decided on Manor Farm for our first camping trip since the arrival of our 9 month old baby. We were not disappointed,
East Runton is a short and pleasant walk through fields where you can stock up on supplies and visit the great beach. An equally pleasant walk away is Cromer with it's famous crabs! Our daughter had a great time and after she went to bed at 8pm we lit the BBQ and had a great evening (to prevent fire, the site will provide bricks if your BBQ doesn't have legs).
The only complaint that I could make is that one of the members of staff was rather rude while we were checking in, however we only saw her once and the great location and new toilet and shower facilities more than made up for this.

Our first visit to this family run working camp site, we stayed on gurneys plantation.What can I say loved it. Fantastic views and where our caravan was parked lovely views off the sea lots lovely walks.
Cromer wasn't too bad to walk to. You have a morrisons near by and a co-op not to far away. Lovely walk into the village where there is pubs. A car boot on weds eve. And sat morns.
Quite a lot to do in and around the area.Owners very friendly and helpful. The toilets and showers nice and clean so is the whole caravan park I didn't want to go home. We certainly enjoyed our week here and will be back top marks for this caravan park

Have visited this site many times over many years. Have visited with dogs, without dogs, with children, without children and with friends. Have always had a wonderful time.
Shower block clean, well maintained and no long queues. Freezer for ice packs is such a simple system-why don't more sites use it? Would, and have, recommend this site to anyone. Lovely views over sea. Supermarket nearby.

We've just returned from a brilliant weekend here, even though we picked the first weekend in ages to have any rain! the site layout is excellent and as 1st time campers the site had everything we needed.
The toilet and shower facilities were cleaned to an excellent standard daily. The warden was friendly and very helpful with directions etc. Only a short walk into Cromer - I'd recommend the show on the pier 'Seaside Special' it was brilliant!
We'll definitely be back, just as soon as we can get some more time off work

We have stayed here several times now - in both Marlpit Field (mainly for tents) and Gurney's Plantation (vans). While we'd agree with all the positive points about both the site and Cromer, we'd particularly highlight the relaxed feel of the site, the sea views and the toilet and shower facilities (although they can get busy at times).
However, our experience of camping there - with a tent - over the August bank holiday in Marlpit would make us think twice about going again at such a busy time. We weren't surprised that the site was full - but was surprised that the 6m rule was not enforced. Or even close to it.
Because there are no marked pitches on Marlpit, you can pitch anywhere. That's fair enough - but we went out for the day to find a tent pitched so close to ours that we could touch it from the entrance to ours. At no point did anyone from the site notice this or do anything about it when it was pointed out to them.
This would not stop us revisiting - but we'd probably go for an electric hook-up in Gurney's Field, where congestion does not seem to be an issue.
