 Easy to find, luckily arrived after rush but witnessed queue the next day at peak period. Hard standing on gravel.
Site itself clean and well presented.
Toilets and showers need a bit of updating.
A busy site that shows after facilities used. Don't forget flip flops for shower use as some of users do not clean after use.
Shop NOT open as advertised so take everything you need unless you are travelling out and about.

This was my second visit after promising myself to return having had a 2-night breakaway in 2019. I had planned on being with my OH but a new job meant he was unable to travel (despite booking in Feb. ). So, I spent 3 nights on my own, and had a friend come and stay for the middle two nights. We had a lot to catch up on.
We had amazing weather so I'm glad I decided to give the Cabanon an outing which gave us both room to breathe.
I had a pitch near the perimeter fence under trees: given the heat this was OK but, it was a tad gloomy and I think I'd have preferred a little more light at breakfast (on a practical note, had it been damper, some sunshine would have been vital to dry out the cotton canvas if needed).
Having no-one behind did mean it was very peaceful, in fact, the whole site seemed to quieten down after 9. 00. Amazingly tranquil (but it wasn't quite school holidays) and I didn't feel hemmed in by others so pretty happy really.
The trees did mean I wasn't woken by someone turning on the lights but, woodpigeons are a bit of nuisance: I caught one walking into the tent, purposefully, strolling like the grouse from the famous whiskey advert.
I was in somewhat of a minority unit wise, with many more caravans, camper vans and motorhomes than I remember seeing 2 years ago - the site was pretty much full.
The Covid effect. The pitch was very level but although a bit of judicious clearing of pine cones and twigs was required. The soil is a bit sandy /muddy and despite the dry, my groundsheet became quite grubby as it was bare ground so, be aware of that.
I was nearest amenity block one which was fine and generally very clean although only 3 washing up sinks (one only on arrival due to social distancing measures which were rescinded) meant a bit of a queue at peak times.
I didn't have to wait for the loo or shower but again, in the holidays this might be stretched. Reception was efficient and dealt with my change of travelling companion smoothly and need for Test and Trace check-in.
The site is set in a lovely wooded area and the proximity to Sandringham does lend an air of seclusion. It's also so close to the coast which is always a massive plus for me.
I felt very safe when lone camping and would stay again.
It is quite large site but the wooded areas and slope made it feel cosy.

This is a large campsite handy for National Cycle Route 1 into Kings Lynn.
Negatives:
- Wifi falls over as soon as you connect (so go to the Sandringham visitor centre and use theirs as it's much better)
- Water in the showers is just ok, but not hot (in contrast to Cambridge where we stayed for the next 4 days)
- Sandy soil where we were pitched got a bit everywhere, the problem being tree cover meaning bare patches.
- A bit of noise from other campers - large family group - not appreciating sound carries when you laugh loudly at 11pm on one night.
Pluses:
- Helpful staff
- All very very clean (as is the norm at the CCC sites)
- Fish and chips on site Tues/Thurs/Sat but get the the queue as soon as the van sounds his arrival as it's very popular and things run out.

This our second visit to this big site, the last in 2018. Due to Covid you stay in your vehicle and are checked in by the staff who show you to your pitch.
There was a bit of a queue even though we arrived around 2. 30 pm. Despite this the very friendly lady checked us in quickly and efficiently and were offered a choice of hardstandings.
Not a good idea to arrive before 1pm as you will have to wait and the approach road can get cluttered.
The great site team must be very fit given the amount of cycling they do on this big site!
Despite the size it's a very peaceful site although the pigeons can be noisy, and mess on your car! Thats because its in in a forest!
A fish and chip van visits a few evenings a week and is popular.
TV signal is ok but limited channels from nearest mast. The site wifi is ok, speed obviously depending on usage.
Phone signal on VIrgin was pretty poor but you are in a forest!
Sandringham visitor centre was open with cafe and shops. Its a nice walk from the site.
Supermarkets are available in Kings Lynn with fuel statio, plus a fairly new Lidl just outside nearby Heacham.
Heacham has miles of bechside walks as do Hunstanton and Wells. Cromer is a pleasant day out.
We enjoyed our stay despite varied weather, but there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.
There are 3 facility blocks all kept very clean by the hardworking team, our thanks to them.

I stayed for 8 nights and really enjoyed this tranquil break. Although it is a big site the pitches are spaced out and I woke to the sun peeping through the trees most mornings.
I read mixed reviews but the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful, the ladies pedal on their bikes tirelessly to show you to your pitch and nothing was too much trouble.
It is a great location for the beaches and Sandringham estate, which was understandably closed due to Covid, but tea room, shop, play area and toilets were all open at Sandringham.
I knew the facilities on this site were all closed when booking which didn't really make sense as facilities on most other campsites and at Sandringham itself facilities were all open, I think charging the full price still when no facilities were available was a little cheeky, hence the lower marking, but went here as my friend was staying on this site.
The fish and chip van visited regularly and they were nice enough, a long queue but to be expected on any site.
Overall I would visit again, it is a lovely location, feels secluded in the trees but plenty of open space too, lovely walks and cycle routes and staff had took the time to decorate the entrance with amusing autumnal/Halloween themed decorations which raised a smile.
Overall a friendly and well maintained site.

We met up with friends here with the intention of visiting the nearby Sandringham Game Show - which was cancelled, in the end. We found the site clean and well run, and they seem to have the hang of the Covid rules pretty much.
The pitch was level (some arent), and well drained. The hook up box wasn't too far away, and had a tv point - which we needed, but our friends literally over the road, did not. They hire 20m lengths of co-ax, but we had our own.
There isnt much about as diversions go, apart from some nice walking in the woods, and to the Sandringham Estate. Driving to the nearby coast is easy enough, as well.
A Chip van, and pizza van visits every week, if you are interested. We didn't use the facilities, so cannot comment. More water points would be a plus though. Why they arent on the hook up posts, I don't know.
The site is peaceful - APART from the incessant trundling of the groundstaff around the site on their tractors/trailers. This was annoying in the end, and I don't know why they have to do so many circuits in a day. The record was 6 passes one day.
This aside (and it wont stop a return visit), its a good site. We wandered around the nearby 'enemy' C&MC site through the woods, and I have to say it didn't look as good all round. There can be some military aircraft noise, if it bothers you. But where in Norfolk isn't there!

Poor lawn maintenance, my 4 year old son twisted his ankle (twice!)in a divot/rabbit hole obscured by long grass ie it hadn’t been mowed for some time. Pine cones were layering, because so many were falling on the ground. Let’s hope you don’t have too many ambulance chasing lawyers staying with you🧐
No recycling! isn’t this the sort of place that teaches children that recycling isn’t just a home practice? I heard that the local recycling area sorts it???? That must be very intense for them. Why not have it anyway to enthuse the kids and help the recycling plant. It really doesn’t fit the image of a clean, green, healthy site.
Attractive site if neater and quietly located. We do intend to return

We've stayed here before and we enjoyed it but this time was awful. This review is not against the site staff but the C&CC itself.
The site was given only 3 staff to organise EVERYTHING which was a nightmare for them. They were also not allowed onto the site during lockdown to prepare for opening. Therefore with a site which has lots of trees and copses there were twigs, branches, pinecones and other 'tree litter' all over. Worse than this, the fields had not been mown and there was Ragwort growing all over the place (Ragwort causes liver failure in both humans and animals if ingested - its so dangerous its illegal to leave untreated on private land).
We were on a grass pitch which was claustrophobicly hemmed in at the back between a fence and 2 rows of caravans marked by yellow spray paint! The pitch was so uneven, our self leveller would not level! We eventually got to speak to the manager who agreed entirely with us and gave us a full refund!
We planned for 5 nights but only stayed 2 hours. On top of this, the facilities were closed but full price (£34 per night) was charged. We managed to get in at other site an hour away which was a fully serviced pitch, facilities open and was £24 per night!
We won't be returning. Once again I would like to reiterate that the on site staff were brilliant and it was the camping and caravan club who let us down.

I stayed here in July 2019 after reading some of the reviews I was wondering what the site would be like.
Well rest assured it was great we were greeted with lovely wardens the guy who showed us our spot was dave what a nice guy even after we asked for a shaded spot then changed our minds with a sunny spot but for him it was no trouble.
The shower blocks were clean and tidy would I come back again yes and my daughter whom I came with agrees so don't believe all the reviews.
