 Just return from a fantastic 1st visit to this campsite. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, evening fitting us up with electric after we enquired if it was possible on our pitch. We stayed on pitch 111 which was tucked away amongst the trees. Large enough for our huge sprayway tent.
Great camping shop (ask at reception) on the way to Norwich very reasonable with some great bargains for any bits you might have left behind or find you need!
The kids loved cycling around the safe campsite and loved the BMX trax, bweilderwood climbing frame (well worth a visit to bewilderwood itself), swimming pool, crazy golf.
No queing at the showers (but then we tendered to be there at 7. 30am) and always found them spotlessly clean.
Freshly baked bread was a nice touch every morning and the pizza's for takeaway were delicious.
We didn't venture into the pub on site but it certainly looked appealing with good range of food and sensible prices. We will be tying this out next year.
The surrounding area was very peaceful, 2 days down at the beach only 20 mins max away. Gt Yarmouth more bustling, Hemsby more sandy and tucked away. Lots of fun building sandcastles and eating ice cream.
The 2 mornings it rained we went into Norwich to the cinema again only 20 mins away family ticket very reasonable.
Norfolk Broads beautiful hired a day boat to explore from Wroxham and found a lovley pub to moor up at for lunch.
No shops within village, co-op about 10 mins drive away otherwise Gt Yarmouth for Asda, Tesco or Sainsburys.
Have booked for next year and all are looking forward to our return trip.

We camped here last summer and was very impressed the facilities were excellent and the on site pub was very handy, the weather wasn't great so the pub was a real benefit, didn't eat there but the kids had puddings most evenings we went and really enjoyed that. Felt like a really safe site and the kids rode around on their bikes with no issues at 9 and 13 they both had plenty to occupy them. Staff friendly too, toilets and showers were clean at all times. Would certainly recommend to anyone. Great playgrounds for all ages

Spent one week on this site in August. Very warm welcome onto site, was shown to pitch. Pitch number 109 the old orchard.
Pitches are large fully serviced on hard standing backing onto open fields. There is a mixture of caravans and tents.
Toilet block was a bit disappointing, nothing like the picture on web site. Only four showers which were unisex, (water pressure was low) no where near enough for the size of the site.
Had to queue most mornings. This sight is very expensive for what it is. I would not call this site 5 star. There is not much to do in the area.
Don't think we will be returning

Visited this site at the end of July/beginning of August with OH and 2 boys (other half left after 2 nights and boys and I stayed a further 3) and I have to say this is a fabulous site!
It is big yet small, all the facilities are within reach yet with enough space for every pitch to feel private.
The children loved cycling and playing in the fab play areas, the mini golf, the small pool (although freezing ) was fun, the football pitch and tennis court all were accessible.
The little shop had the essentials and the fresh bread to order in the mornings was very popular with big queues.
The site was friendly and the pitches in our area rabbit grove were not uniform, other areas were more uniform but the layout and quality of the grass and the pathways etc all led to a spacious yet cosy quality site.
A man in a tractor escorts you to your site and makes sure you are ok before disappearing off, staff are present but discrete keeping the grounds nice.
The toilets and bathrooms were fitted out to a high standard although there were water temp problems on one day which the rectified very quickly, but you had to queue for showers and unfortunately there were a lot of inconsiderate campers (toilet paper all over floor/ toilets not flushed etc).
All in all though a site I felt comfortable at being on my own with the children and one I would definitely return too( if there is ever an available pitch!). Lust make sure you have a long lead if you use ehu!

We are a family of four with 2 kids aged 10yrs and 7yrs and have just returned from an 8 night stay at Clippesby. This being our first visit to this site.
A first class reception was given to us upon arrival. The rangers showed us to our pitch.
Lovely friendly staff all round.
Our pitch was a good size at the top of South Park, good soft grass pitch with space in the middle for kids to play etc.
The site itself is immaculate, well maintained pitches, very pretty and peaceful. There are some noisy peacocks on site too !
Fantastic kids play areas, zip wire, swings, climbing ropes, tennis courts and woods to play in. Our two children loved it.
One day we hired some bikes from the site. The staff we encountered were excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a 15 mile route to try which we all really enjoyed.
All in all a premium site apart from two little
Moans :
1. Outside pool freezing even on a sunny day (not heated) and very small for size of site.
2. As this site commands premium prices for a pitch the shower and toilet blocks should also be top notch but they are not.
Although clean (most of the time) they are small and dark. The showers are right by the main front door to block so can get cold and breezy at times. It would be nice to have separate private sinks and a decent mirror/hairdryer area for the ladies loos ( they are in communal entrance where the men have to walk passed to get to their loos and sinks.
Also there is a lack of sinks in the gents the only ones being adjacent to the urinals which is not a nice place to have a wash and brush your teeth !

We have just returned from another great long weekend at Clippesby Hall (our 3rd in 4 years).
This site has always been one of our favourites and it was great to see that they haven't rested on their laurels and have improved it even more since our last visit in May 2009.
As always, the check in was very polite and efficient and even though we have stayed there before were escorted to our pitch.
We stayed in Rabbits Grove for the first time and had a pitch perfectly big enough for our Vermont L plus a large gazebo (it was nice to not have to pay a premium for the latter as with other sites).
This area is nicely secluded, with only 4 or 5 other pitches visible and so we had plenty of space for badminton around the tent. The children really enjoyed building dens in the very safe little wood next to the pitch. The pitches were nicely maintained, good firm lush grassy ground. Slight incline but didn't cause an issue and helped the torrential rain drain away very quickly.
We camped with another family (we have 2 kids age 7 and 10, they have 3 kids aged 7, 10 and 12).
The staff were happy to let us bbq and offered to bring us bricks to keep the bbq off the ground.
The play area is fantastic with huge sandpit, swings, rocket climbing frame and football pitch. It is located next to a beautifully maintained new walled garden on the way to the Muskett Arms pub. We ate in the pub one night as a treat which was excellent (food, service, beer/wine and value). Main courses, 2 bottles of wine plus beer and soft drinks for 9 of us came in at £110 (about £8 for a huge fish and chips). Very friendly staff.
I could go on all day about what a great time we had and can't criticise anything other that then very minor issue with needing to queue for 5-10 mins for showers at prime time (8-10am) - they are very modern facilities though and kept very clean.
All in all a really lovely site. Children were disappointed that we only stayed for 3 days as they didn't get much time to play of the incredible new climbing frame/zip wire (although we did take them to Bewiderwood!) or play minigolf.

We have just returned from a two night break at Clippesby Hall and while the weather was very kind to us and probably influences me positively, I can't recommend this campsite enough.
We were a group of four families and our children, aged 6 months to 9 years, all had a wonderful time. The older ones disappeared shortly after we arrived at the site and over the three days appeared only to announce they were hungry/thirsty.
There was plenty to do on the site to keep families entertained, lovely play areas, a zip wire, a swimming pool with baby pool, tennis courts, football pitch etc. For those in need of further entertainment, a kids disco was laid on at the Muskett Arms on the Friday evening and there was guided canoeing on the Saturday.
Our welcome pack included a guide to the surrounding area plus circular cycle routes (it is possible to hire bikes on site).
We didn't eat in the Muskett Arms but the menu contained a good range of pub grub. The coffee shop sold delicious takeaway pizzas and you can preorder bread and croissants for breakfast, which we did and they were lovely. A local Indian delivers to the site and this was very reasonable.
Clippesby's location on the Norfolk Broads means there is day boat hire within easy reach, and a short drive takes you to the coast at Great Yarmouth or several quieter beaches.
There are peacocks at the campsite (a little noisy in the early hours but lovely) and lots of other wildlife - there is a spotters board in the cafe/shop.
Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful and polite, even when gently reminding us that they ask for quiet after 11pm!
The only slight downside is that the toilets and showers, while clean, are just not very nice. This may just be in comparison to West Runton, which I know sets the bar high but it was a very small niggle in what was a lovely break. The children are already asking when we'll be back!

I chose this site after reading the positive reviews left by others.
I agree that it is a very nice site with lots of things to keep the children amused but, after reading comments which said that the toilet/shower blocks were 'very modern, amazing, and impressive', I arrived with high expectations. However, the reality was very disappointing. They just do not come up to the standard of many other popular sites.
It seems such a shame that this is the case because if the blocks were improved this would be a first class site.

We stayed for two nights at half term - just a short stay to try it out as handy for friends and family. Very busy first night (but didn't feel it as so much space and trees - and quiet at night) - very quiet the second (sunday - everyone else went home but our school had a training day on the monday).
We used lots of the facilities - play areas, pool (bit small for size of campsite but a bonus all the same), pub (good food and child friendly as I guess you'd expect), bike hire (highly recommend - very helpful - our younger daughter learned to ride a bike at clippesby hall - its so flat in the surrounding area that our older daughter (7) did a 15 mile route (maps are provided) with no problems).
But still felt there was lots we could do for future visits - want to return to try out crazy golf, badminton, cafe etc.
Loos clean and very pleasant - didn't have to queue for showers even though half term- our nearest toilet block shut for cleaning at a slightly inconvenient time but not a big deal and a small price to pay for clean facilities.
You can pre-order bread and croissants - don't rely on them for breakfast for hungry kids though as they weren't ready when said they'd be - this may have been a one-off as staff looked a bit harassed.
Kids absolutely loved their stay here - made friends even though we weren't here for long - we all are keen to do a return visit. Lived up to our high expectations.

5* site. Everything you need in a campsite.
The Broads is lovely and they give you their own guide book. You are shown to your pitch by the black landrover.
Pitches are spacious, Pub on site does great local food and real ale.
Their beer weekend is a great visit in Sept or Oct.
Facilities are cleaned all day and plenty to go around.
Barbecues are aloud and the peacocks in the woods amuse the children. Good activities for the children too.
Already planning our next visit!
