Reading down some of the recent reviews, I won't put in about local shops, chippy etc (very nice) as you will have already gathered whats in the area! What I will say is that this is a lovely site and we are already planning on camping again there next year.

We were visiting with another family in middle of August. Despite what I had read before visiting about noise from kids park etc late at night, we heard nothing after about 10. 00, mostly just the adults chatting quietly outside their tents/caravans when the kids were in bed.

We had no problem getting a shower in the morning or evening and the facilities are clean and well looked after. I think another reviewer has mentioned about the shop opening times and that is my only slight moan. It opens 8.30am and closes about 5.00 or 5.30 in the evening. I think during June / Jul / Aug they could consider opening maybe 7.30 - 6.30 just to allow people that extra bit of time for the early morning milk run for that cuppa or last minute bbq purchase for tea. The staff are friendly and helpful and are happy to answer your questions.

We visited Sheringham beach and realised there was no sand just big grey pebbles, but then found Mundesley a bit further down the coast past Cromer. Lovely sandy beach, easy parking and shops and toilets nearby. Definitely give it a go.

Hubbie and I have booked to go back into a Camping Pod in October at Deers Glade which I am looking forward to reviewing in the future.

All in all, a fantastic site, clean, well looked after, brilliant for kids, shops etc close by - what more do you need. We loved it.

We are a family of 4 and have just returned from a 4 night stay here and must say we were all very impressed with this site. This was our first visit here and we didn't know what to expect, it was recommended by friends and didn't disappoint.

Good access to and from A140, but far enough away not to hear the road, in fact it seemed very quiet and peaceful. On arrival we were shown to our pitch which was next to the lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. We don't have electric hook up so can't comment on other pitches, but ours was fine with plenty of room.

Good playground with slide, large sandpit, large playhouse with tunnels, large basket type swing (for older children) and plenty of space for ball games, and although our children are a bit old for this they seemed to spend a lot of time playing on it. Sheep and goat enclosure a big hit! Site was well maintained and tidy.

There is a hog roast on a Saturday evening, a great fish and chippy at Roughton (5 mins away) and of course Cromer (15 mins) for the beach and places to eat. There are 2 shower, toilet, washing-up and laundry blocks for the site which were modern and very clean, in fact some of the best I have come across so far so a big plus there.

The only downside was we usually had to wait for a shower as there were only two showers in a block, but worth the wait as they were large powerful shower heads with plenty of hot water all the time. Always very clean and always open, even when cleaning in progress.

Shop/reception was clean, modern and tidy. You can freeze ice blocks here for 50p. Basic provisions really as you would expect. Plenty of information leaflets on places to go and information on local events eg Cromer Carnival. There is a supermarket in Aylsham about 5 miles away.

We were lucky enough to stay in good weather, so made use of Cromer beach, Hillside Animal sanctuary and nearby Amazonia zoo, all reasonably priced. We also found a couple of walks round the back of the campsite.

We had a great time, finding the site peaceful and relaxing. It made a great base for visiting the North Norfolk coast and we will definitely be returning next year.

We were lucky enough to get a week here following a cancellation. I'd been encouraged by the positive reviews and we weren't disappointed!

The site is beautifully maintained, good use of hedges to mark out pitches - we have a Vango Tigris 800 and there was enough room for that and our Seat Alhambra alongside!

Yes, we did have to wait for showers some mornings, but I'd expect that on a busy campsite in mid-summer. We did try to use the Family/Disabled shower room as a family of four, but it just wasn't big enough. The facilities were always spotless though. A spin dryer in the laundry would have been welcome but wasn't crucial - they do have two washers and a tumble dyer in each block - I only had a few bits to hand wash.

The site had a great mix of seasonal pitches, tents with EHUS and non EHU area, as well as accommodating motor homes. They've also proved you can be ecologically aware without compromising on safety - the use of down lighters across the site meant there was a great view of the night sky - I even saw a shooting star!

The kids play area was always well used - bit noisy, but again, nothing you shouldn't expect in the middle of the holidays! The site has a no noise after 11pm policy and there were no issues with noise after that. The small animal area was much loved by the kids - but often had no hand sanitiser left, but that was literally the only flaw I found.

The staff were helpful, we were off out most days so didn't make use of the shop, but the site is ideally based for exploring the Norfolk coastline and inland. We enjoyed a meal at the New Inn in Roughton, as well as obligatory fish and chips and crabbing from Cromer Pier.

If you're NT members there are lots of opportunities to dig your membership card out, and a ride on the North Norfolk line from Sheringham to Holt is a must. Have already recommended to friends, and would certainly stay here again.

Just returned today from a week at Deersglade in Norfolk and thought a review should be in order.

On arrival the site looked lovely and the staff were more than happy to help and got escorted to our pitch. The toilet blocks were very clean and remained open even whilst the cleaning was in progress which was good.

Although our kids have grown up the kids playground was ok and was always busy as was the goats enclosure. The shop left a lot to be desired and I could not even get a site map from the staff. I asked 3 times !

There were not many fire points dotted around the site and those that we found would not have been found in the dark as not illuminated in anyway, one was even between the back of a tent and hedgerow.

We booked this site because of the fishing pond on site and this was the first time I have taken my rods with me and they stayed in the car all week. The pond was not as advertised and I did not see one fish caught all week but I did spend an hour watching some teenagers feeding the Rats that frequented the water, I counted 17 in that short time. The area around the site is lovely

And only a short drive to the shops at Aylsham and cracking Fish/Chips in Roughton as well as a pub opposite. One final point phone / tv reception is poor due to the close nature of the trees.

Going to book Sherwood Forest Holiday Park for next year, been there twice and loved it.

Overall this was a nice site although I do have some gripes.

Unfortunately when we booked there was no electric pitches so we decided to go non-electric. There is a specific field for non-electric which seemed fine at the time. We were advised that this field is not marked out in specific pitches but they only allow a certain number of units on to ensure safety rules are maintained. We were showed to our part of the field which was fine, until another unit turned up with a group of units that were already camped, they were not shown to a spot but plonked themselves directly next to us leaving us no space to put up our gazebo (which we paid extra to have) we asked the site workers to have a word but they backed down immediately after being told by this very rude man that he was not moving despite being only 3m away from our tents (the rules apparently are 5m). In my view its pretty stupid having rules if you are going to let people break them so easily.

We were left having to put up the gazebo in the middle of our two entrances (we were facing each other) and as we were so close to the road we had no open area to sit out in. The group next to us however had enough room to get 2 very large events tents up in the middle of their circle of tents. We felt very disgruntled by this as we had paid the same amount for our pitch and got considerably less room!

The showers and toilets were always clean and tidy and showers were hot. The family room however is far too small and the water practically stops if there are people in the normal showers. There was more room in the normal showers for me to shower myself and my too kids than there was in the family room and this way we were guaranteed a hot shower that didn't loose power!

The play ground was great and the children loved it. The walks were very nice too.

The hog roast was a nice touch and was very tasty.

All in all we would go back to Deers Glade as I said overall its very nice but we would never book non-electric again.

This was our second visit to this site and as the time before it was very clean. Toilets spotless and with under floor heating. Low level lights in the showers make shaving interesting.

The kids loved the play area and goat pen.

There is no clubhouse on site so it is a quiet place. Pitches are a good size although on the open fields there is always someone who pitches right next to you.

There is a walk through the woods with a small pond for kids to do a spot of pond dipping.

The lake used to be great for fishing but this time I only saw 3 fish caught in 10 day, and none by me(Otters were blamed).

The hog roast is ok, had better, but is a great chance to socialise with the people who hang around after(not that many).

While we were there they also had an evening of selling and setting of Chinese lanterns which the kids enjoyed.

A short walk down the road is a field with deer in, although it is a bit hit and miss if you can see them.

Wifi on the site sucks and phone reception is patchy.

All in all it is a nice peaceful relaxing site.

Lovely site, neither I or the kids wanted to leave.

Toilet blocks were always clean although I felt there were too few showers, I had to wait both mornings that I tried to shower before breakfast.

The pitches were sensibly spaced we have an Outwell Montana 6 with front extension and there was still space around the tent. We chose to park to car in the car park as we prefer not to have the car next to us. The EHU was fine.

One small point is I felt the shop opening hours were not quite early enough or late enough and on the first night the hot water tripped in one of the shower blocks and it was not reset until the following morning.

That all said this is a fab site which I recommend without hesitation.

Just spent 3 nights at Deers Glade, being first timers we didn't know what to expect.

We had a large pitch for our 5 man tent and space for our car next to it. We had EHU and they can supply a TV ariel cable (refundable deposit) so you can watch TV at night will no issues.

Plenty of hot water, and a washing up area, showers (mens) got quite busy but it was saturday morning and site was looking quite full. During the week it was fine. Clean and tidy.

Fishing available at a small charge, but the lake needs clearing of weeds on one side, nice wooden flat platforms to fish from.

Loads of dogs walks in the woods and also they do provide kennels (5 mins walk) if you want a day out at a small charge.

Cromer around 20mins drive away and there is a Tesco's in Alysham which is around 5 - 8 mins drive. There is also chip shop also within 5 mins drive.

Staff very very friendly and answered all questions we threw at them. Site was clean and well looked after.

Despite some heavy rain the pitches drained quite well.

Yes, we would go back again.

0n arrival we checked in at reception and dealt with by a friendly lady [Heather], who also showed us to our pitch and explained the site layout. Pitch good size and no set rules as to how to pitch, as long as you stayed within boundary [nice hedges to three sides for privacy].

Toilets and showers are as yet the best we have experienced, very powerful and controllable showers and always very clean. The view from our pitch[44] was nice overlooking the lake, which was very popular for the fishermen, so not suitable to let our water loving choc lab in for a swim.

The grounds are very well maintained with grass and hedge trimming obviously kept on top of, also ground drains well which due to the heavy downpours was very handy.

Not much directly around site besides nice woodland walks but only 15mins drive into Cromer where nice little shops and places to eat, and a must buy are Cromer crabs. Would definitely recommend this site for those looking for relaxing quiet break.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Dears Glade, this site is Fantastic and has now gone to our number one favourite site!

The site is very clean and tidy, the staff are really friendly and pretty relaxed, always around when you need them.

All pitches are level, there are loads of hard standing and also lots of grass. Tents and caravans can all mix in so if you go with another family who have a tent (as we did) there is a chance you can pitch next to each other provided you book early enough.

The kids play area is fine, there is a slide / climbing / tree house affair, a sand pit and a giant circular swing that you can get about 5 kids in. There is also a large area to play football etc. Next to this is a shaded picnic area if required.

The shop is reasonably basic but covers the essentials, very nice burgers! The shower blocks are absolutely brilliant, really modern and new looking. There are two blocks on this site, each have 2 showers for men and 2 for women, not as many as some sites but I never had to wait even though the site was at full capacity (admittedly, I choose to shower in the evenings but my wife had no bother in the mornings either). The showers were powerful with a proper temp control and none of this push button or token nonsense.

This site also has some lovely camping pods for hire, 5 I recall. All have their own private area with a brick BBQ and a chiminea (logs are sold on site for these) and are set on the edge of the site in woodland.

Dog owners a well catered for as there are 3 really good walks, no idea how long they are but the shorter one was enough for our friends Cocker Spaniel. It went through the woods along a river and out onto a quiet road and back in the site main entrance.

TV reception on the vans aerial wasn't great but you can hire a lead on site giving you decent freeview reception. The site also has wifi available if required. Mobile phone reception was fine, also has 3G in most areas if your on Orange or T-Mobile, not on Vodafone apparently?

There is a lovely lake that you can pitch next to, fishing was very popular with fellow visitors during our stay. I think bait was also available from the site shop but I recall you needed a permit to fish. Also, the lake is a fair distance from the play area, very sensible in my opinion.

Out and about, we didn't really venture far but we did visit Sheringham, a very nice town on the sea front, hard to park until you find the long stay car park which is in a residential area. A stoney beach much to the kids disgust! As we took food with us I can't comment on supermarkets but there is a very good fish and chip shop about 10 mins drive from the site, highly recommended.

The only very slight negative for us was that there appeared to be a lot of flies, don't know if this is because of the lake or not (we were not near it) but they were very apparent. This didn't spoil our stay, it just meant keeping the fly screens closed.

Overall, an excellent site and very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommended.
