 We stayed here for one night after getting a pitch at short notice (having left another site that wasn't very nice!) - very helpful lady on the phone, and pleasant first impression on arrival too.
This is a large site, but well laid out and kept very tidy. Although well organised it doesn't look quite as regimented and clinical as some large sites. Lots of green areas and trees. They allow dogs and have the usual clean-up rules - didn't notice any dog poo so think most people must be complying with this.
The toilet and shower blocks were clean, well maintained and there seemed to be enough to go around. Nothing for my fussy husband to moan about, and although the showers were cold in the morning, this was due to a fault and soon fixed. Laundry and washing up areas good too. There was also a small lounge / tv room near reception and the playground but we didn't use this.
We were up on a grassy terrace above the caravans, and our electric hook-up was over the fence and down on the bottom level. Not a problem to us, but worth mentioning - not sure if it might need a particular length of cable?
There are picnic tables on quite a few of the pitches, and we were looking forward to using ours, but someone pinched it when we were out! (Don't blame them really. Difficult to show that you are occupying a pitch with a campervan when you aren't there!)
There was a good children's play area near the entrance, and a hot food van which was available most days - nice food and a helpful owner who did two small hot dogs for my toddlers.
The site is in a good place for touring the Broads, Norfolk coast and parts of Suffolk but it seems there are some quite good places reachable on foot - we didn't walk from the site as we were moving on the next day.
I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the site was at night, even though quite a few people were sitting outside their tents/vans late on.
I would recommend this site if you like clean facilities and a laid back atmosphere (within the usual rules) and would come here ourselves again - reasonable cost too compared to similar parks (£23. 50 for 2 adults, 2 kids aged 1 and 3, a dog and electric hook-up)

This could be a far better site than what it is. Given a choice of pitches on arrival which was great. We choose pitch on a slight slope but on a field away from the road. Pitch size was huge and could fit 2 large size tents which was a bonus.
2 main things let this camp down. First was the facilities or lack of. Where we pitched was only 1 shower block with 4 showers, 1 each in the single sex toilets and 2 family showers + toilet, had to wait at least twice before using the shower. On at least 3 occasions I had to clean the basin before use. So cleanliness didn't seem to be high. Whether this was due to not being cleaned enough or just the campers, not to sure.
Only 2 sinks with which to wash dishes with, so at busy times you had to wait quite a while. Site is near a main road so traffic could be heard but it didn't bother our party of 3.
Would go back but only if the facilities improve.

Nice and welcoming on arrival, nice level site, toilets, showers and wash facilities absolutely first class and clean at all times,
Owner very pleasant and friendly with good sense of humour, and very helpful good place to visit local area from,
Will be returning next year
I was in large tent and still had lots of room,
Nearby there is a shop post office and pub, excellent play area for children,
Although it rained most of the time I was there, the ground did not become waterlogged or muddy,
There is also a tv room and pool table in the reception area,
It is only a short drive from gt yarmouth and gorlaston where you will find great beaches,

On arrival found the site to be very pleasing and peaceful granted it was 9pm when we arrived.
Site was well laid out each pitch was very spacious I have a large tent but still had ample space between myself and the next pitch.
Toilets/showers well I can only say that if all sites met the same standard then it would do a lot for the image of the industry as I couldn't find anything wrong with them
Could do with a better playpark for the kids as there wasn't that much on site but lets face it you only use the site as a base camp
Sue and the handyman where great with the kids always spoke and always happy to be of some help if they could(had to get the handyman to tighten up handlebars on the boys bikes as I forgot my tools which he done for me no questions asked)they can both be seen on site at anytime working away like little busy bees maintaining the site (and it shows with the high standards maintained)
My only gripe is make sure that if you near second toilet block with kids you need to keep them quite as when we arrived granted my kids(10, 7, 5)where excited and jumping around.
The next morning we got asked to move pitch as there had been a complaint that the boys made to much noise and kept a couple of long term residents awake (boys where in bed and out for the count by 10. 30pm)
Granted when we moved up to deck 2 it was a lot better for the kids as they had a big field to ride there bikes on
All in all I would rate the site as very good to excellent

What a lovely little campsite this is, the best we have stayed at so far, pitches a good size and lots of space for the children to play.
Toilet/shower block was great always clean and tidy, plug socket for my straighteners which was handy!
Nice area for washing up- again always clean. Freezer for freezing cool blocks was appreciated.
Nice play area for our children.
Good location for some fun days out by car, not much around the local village found one nice pub by the water.
Would return, thanks for a lovely stay.

Our holiday last May at Rose Farm was the 14th time we have been there. We go every year because Sue is so welcoming and helpful. We also love the over all cleanliness of the site and the facilities that are provided.
Our granddaughter loves the open spaces and play area, which we feel is very safe. We also like the fact that there is a security gate that is only opened with a key that is provided to each unit when you are booked in.
Every year we have been has seen some improvements, ie new showers, or picnic tables and benches placed around the site.
Altogether, Rose Farm is an excellent camp site and is the best we have ever visited. We thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

This was our first break away in our touring caravan. We couldn't have asked for a better site to start our journey. It was welcoming, clean, secure and the ground was pretty level for the van.
We all had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Based ourselves close to the shower block which enabled us to see the children playing on the play area. They had a excellent time making up stories and running around, so much freedom that they didn't want to go home!
The Henry the VIII pub just a short walk away served delicious food, we all had very full tummies when we left!
Tesco direct is nearby and there are so many other shops near Great Yarmouth that you are spoilt for choice.

Lovely!
Been here before and this time we were going with newcomers to the camping / caravanning world and wanted a small good site to take them to - we chose well!
Very warm welcome, very good and clean facilities, lovely hot shower (OK if I had to make one little comment the automatic lights in the toilet block went off whilst I was in the shower - if it was evening / night-time that might be a bit disconcerting!)
Lovely play area for the kids and large open field for them to run around on
Good pub for big well-priced meals within a very easy walk - handy if you're arriving later
Close to Gt Yarmouth and other lovely beaches - close to a Tesco Express if you need to shop when you arrive
Very very good site!

This site is the standard by which others should be judged ! so often UK sites are poorly presented or impersonal, but this site is spot on.
A somewhat unusual location at first glance, not the typical overlooking sea / lake / mountains etc., but well laid out with an interesting little walk to discover the site extremities.
There was a very friendly welcome despite it being 7.30 on a Sunday evening when I arrived and despite my race transporter being larger than Sue had expected I was escorted to the pitch and shown all the facilities en route.
The shower / toilets are first class and spotlessly clean at all times. The site was very busy with a caravan rally on the lower field but it was never under pressure as far as I could see. Sue was to be seen working all the time, either mowing the grass or helping guests, and it is this sort of attention to detail which makes the site so good.
The little reading room with free wifi was very pleasant and proved a haven against the rain and wind on one day I was there.
The local pub was friendly enough, the beer and food were OK, not haute cuisine or gastro pub, but the freshly made Steak pie was tasty and the Guinness cold. I also used the local Chinese takeaway, which despite other comments on here, was actually very good, tasty, reasonably priced and was delivered free to the site, a bonus on a wet night.
A taxi into Great Yarmouth was £9, and the bus back was £2.20. Beware of SatNav tours if coming from the north on the A47 / A12, you could be directed through a housing estate which has 6'6' wide chicanes. If you get to the roundabout where the A47 and A12 join, go straight down the A12 do not take the third exit from the roundabout towards the Macdonalds, you have been warned :)
A lovely site with a friendly welcome, what more could you want?

Our visit to Rose Farm was an unplanned one. We rang the site at last minute after ringing round some other sites but they were full. Our call was answered quickly and in a very helpful manner.
We wanted an electric pitch and was told that this would not be possible at first, but were then asked if the lead we had was long. We were kindly given a pitch that would have been non electric and told we could hook-up to an caravan pitch not to far away.
The site on arrival looked as expected and we were welcomed by the owner. We were shown personally to our pitch by the owner too which was very helpful.
The facilities on site were very clean. We only stayed for two nights and used the tent as a night base but even so our stay was lovely. I'm sure if we had stayed longer we would have used all the facilities available.
We hope to return to Rose Farm in the future and take our kids along with us too next time.
