 Stayed at this site for two nights in the Marl Field. It was exceptionally windy, and unless you get there early all the sheltered sites are taken. Next time I would pay extra and book electric hook up as those sites were further up the field behind and hedge and therefore more tropical than the lower part of the field!
The playing field is great for children.
The location is an easy walk down into Cromer, so no complaints there.
On the downside.
1. Kept having to press the showers every 5 seconds for hot water - a bit of a pain and surely self defeating. You just spend longer in the shower because you're having to keep pressing the button all the time. I agree with having to limit water usage, but surely more than 5 seconds is a bit more practical. Also, the lights aren't always on in the showers so it can be a bit dimly lit.
2. No recycling bins - just a sign saying the nearest one is in Cromer. I felt this was a bit irresponsible given the large size of the site and the vast number of cans / bottles being thrown away in the rubbish.
3. The woman at reception was a tad unfriendly and not very welcoming, although the chap I spoke to on the phone when booking was absolutely fine.
We're visiting the site again later this year in a caravan, so maybe we'll have a different view then.

Just got home from a two night stay at Manor Farm, really enjoyed the site and area. Kids loved the parks although the football pitch was very overgrown. The toilets, showers and washing areas were great, very clean and plenty of hot water.
10 min walk to rainbow store which is great and have got everything you need, Cromer less than 2 min drive.
Our only real nag was we were close to the toilet block on marlpit meadow and the noise from the doors banging in the wind when being left open at night keeping us awake, but that was due to people being inconsiderate than the campsites problem.
Will be returning many more times in the future.

Our first time camping, and we stayed on Manor Farm for 3 days.
Lovely campsite, really well set out with 3 different areas, we were on Marl Pit. As we did not have a serviced pitch we were able to pick our own spot, and we found a lovely corner pitch with plenty of space at the bottom of the field.
Showers blocks and washing up areas are clean and the water was lovely and hot, and as there are 2 blocks in each field you don't have far to walk to either one.
Everything around Manor farm is in easy walking distance so no need to take the car all the time. Morrison’s and Rainbow not too far, and a lovely walk into Cromer and East Runton. Public Footpaths around the camp are clearly signposted.
Had a lovely meal at the pub next to Cromer train station, again just 15/20 minute walk.
We will be staying at Manor Farm again, it’s an ideal campsite for families and couples and I would recommend it to anyone.

We have just spent 3 nights at Manor Farm and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This was our first time away in a tent so we have no other site to compare it too but any future ones we visit have a lot to live up to.
We stayed in Marl Field which has some slight sloping in places but not enough for things to start rolling away on their own. The field has 2 toilet / shower blocks both being very clean and plenty of hot water. Both have areas for washing up and the larger block has a laundry and freezer.
There is no shop or club house on the site but Cromer & East Runton are approx 1 mile away with pubs and shops in both. A large Morrisons & Rainbow are about 3/4 mile away so easy to walk or drive too.
We will be more than happy to visit again in the future

Manor Farm is a large, family friendly campsite, with plenty of electric hook-up points. The toilet and shower facilities are all very new, and are well maintained, being immaculately clean at all times even on a busy Bank Holiday weekend.
The majority of the site is flat, and there are hedgerows and trees planted all around for shelter, which is useful as Manor Farm is located on a hill.
We camped in the Marl Pit field, which like most of the site boasts large grassy areas where children can play. Also on site are two play areas with climbing frames.
Manor Farm is situated just a mile or so outside of Cromer, and very close to two supermarkets. Cromer itself, Sheringham and the nearby coast are ideal for a weekend or a longer break.
I would highly recommend Manor Farm for families, and will certainly be returning in the future with my own.

We were probably the only unit on the site without electricity & it was freezing!
Shower block & toilets are all as expected & clean ( don't visit around 11.30 as this seems to be cleaning time) building a new toilet block on tourer site.
Not many on the site but it was early in the season.
Large play area for kids. Not much shelter from wind but they are planting more trees. Owner nice enough although we only saw them on arival.
Easy walk to West Runton although it takes about the same time to walk into Cromer (25 mins at least) & take a torch. Pitch black on road to West Runton! 3 pubs in West Runton. We only tried 2! both ok & serve food. Kids & dogs welcomed. Bar persons very friendly in both.
About a six mile walk to Sherringham through Beeston Regis site & over the hill £8 for a return taxi, next to train station & you MUST EAT in the 'lobster' pub in Sherringham it's great. We had an ok time in all but wished we'd had some heating, will stay there again if visiting that area. Great for building Easter snow bunnies at this time of year. We had 4' of snow in March. Would definitely recommend this quiet farm site. Is just as it says!. Enjoy

Every year we go camping with another family and as we live at opposite ends of the country we meet at the site. We had a great few days here, had no trouble pitching together and some helpful campers gave us a hand putting our mates tent up in the dark! Kids love it wherever we go but we felt that they were safe here and let them ride bikes around and go to the playground without worrying too much. Walked into Cromer and we spent a day on the pier having a few beers and letting the kids catch crabs from the side- it kept them entertained all day. It was great not needing to drive and having plenty for them to do. We did drive to Wroxham one day and hire a dayboat on the Broads which is one of the most relaxing days out I have ever had! The site is reasonable,facilities were clean and well kept and although it is big it doesn't feel that way as it is divided up into fields, each with it's own facilities. We do not use hook up, but I think it is provided if you want it. Would go back, nice, well maintained site.

This year marked 10 years of camping at Manor Farm, and it's still the campsite we know and love! We stayed on the lower Marl Pit field as ever, which had lovely views of the sea, as well as being the best place to see the red arrows and fireworks! We went during carnival week and found that it wasn't really very busy, although this could have been due to the slightly murky weather. The campsite is a 15-20 minute walk from Cromer sea front and a ten minute walk from the train station, Morrisons and the nearest pub, which unfortunately appeared to have gone a bit downhill.
The shower blocks were always clean and tidy, we found the best time for showers was around dinner time, although it didn't get too busy. The play area was just as good as ever! I'm 16 and I still love it! There are lots of climbing trees around and a new playing field for ball games and kite flying.
There are no marked pitches if you are sans-electric hook up, which I personally think is a good thing! There are 3 tent fields, Upper Marl Pit, Lower Marl Pit and Moll's Meadow, tehe dog field. Gurney's Plantation, which has th best showers, is exclusively for caravans. I you've never camped before, or if you're a veteran, come to Manor Farm!

Slight sloping pitch, but the sea views were excellent. Loads for kids to do. Very friendly and helpful owners. Nice clean toilets and showers. Only let down no shop, but 2 supermarkets within working distance. Lovely walks around site.
Definitely go again.
