 This is the first review I've left having used this website many times to research campsites. We had such a great time at Breck Farm I felt I had to sign up and join in!
We went over the Jubilee weekend with two other families. We arrived at lunch time on Friday and had our pick of spots - loads of room and we set up camp in the Wood Field alongside the woods. Perfect for the kids and great views for us. Only downside was it was a bit of a walk to the shower block and loos - the best and cleanest I have seen at a 'basic' campsite like this.
We had some noisy neighbours on the first night but after speaking to the owner they were quieter the next 2 nights - the weather probably also dampened the mood. By Saturday afternoon the campsite was completely full but still the toilets never ran out of paper and the showers ran hot. The only queues were for the washing up sinks.
The ability to have fires is a necessity for me when camping and this campsite had fires at every pitch. The weather worsened over the weekend and quite a few people gave up and went home - and the track in to the field got very muddy - but we continued to have a fantastic time. We didn't take advantage of the visiting ice cream van or the breakfast van but they are nice touches.
We took our bikes and rode into Sheringham for cricket on the beach and a pub lunch on the sunny day, coming home on the steam railway. Some of the boys also went off to ride the tracks in the woods in the rain and loved it. Good tree climbing and den building for the kids plus an empty mown field opposite with football goals and plenty of space for cricket and flying kites. The kids did not get bored.
I really recommend this campsite for the space, views, woods, campfires and shower block. I have no complaints at all. Loved it.

3rd year running to this site, we love it - I can understand that its not a campsite for everyone, if you like individual pitches, beautifully mown sites, children's play areas, heated shower blocks etc then this site isnt for you. However if you like a really friendly site where you can pitch were you like, ample room for a game of cricket/rounders with a group of friends, to chill out with a drink or two over a campfire with new or old friends, don't mind basic but clean toilets/showers, a field with the forest on two sides then you will love it.
Went for a lovely bike ride around quiet country lanes, found a couple of pubs en route, had fish & chips from sheringham on the friday night, and had some friends come and stay with us on the saturday night - they only had to pay £2 each, its £8 for a tent plus £2 per person which I think is a really sensible way to price a campsite.
They have now introduced a van which serves cooked breakfasts and tea/coffee up until 11am, its situated to the side of the toilet block and seemed very popular, and with the glorious weather this weekend the ice cream van had a queue!
I love this site and will keep returning

We have just spent a week at breck farm and had a great time. A few things bothered us but it did not spoil our stay.
The views are lovely and watching the little calves amble around was fun. The facilities were very roomy and plenty of them but the cleanliness needs to be addressed asap.
When we arrived on Saturday the site was quite busy as there was a motorbike meeting and a few weekenders in caravans in other fields but by Sunday pm all were gone apart from the odd one or two tents, so you would expect the site and the facilities to be thoroughly cleaned and tidied up after a busy weekend, basic stuff like showers cleaned, hair gotten rid of from shower areas, bins all emptied.
Greasy sinks in pot washing areas cleaned, outdoor bins emptied so rubbish did not blow all over site in the wind, but no it did not happen.
First 2 days we had no hot water in pot washing or toilet facilities so resorted to boiling a kettle to do our pots then tried facilities again and they were ok this time and for the rest of the week, still greasy and dirty ones left though. One was left full of greasy water for 2 days too and it still had a greasy ring round it when we left on saturday. No evidence of ANY cleaning routines apart from mops and buckets in shower areas, never anyone using them though!maybe we should have done it ourselves. Showers do get nice and hot after about a minute wasted waiting for it to come through of the 3. 5 mins of shower time that costs 50p and you have to go buy it from the farmhouse, annoying as it is I suppose its better than kids being able to play in toilet areas and wet everywhere through with free flowing showers. Had to take a plastic carrier to hang clothes in as showers wet everything through if you don't. I saw one woman strip off outside the cubicle and leave her clothes outside so she could keep them dry.
The farm has 3 dogs running round and one day they all came chasing after my little dog and threw him all over the place it was horrid to see. He was off his lead as we were the only tent around at that time so we were out playing close to the tent, after speaking to guy who is on site a lot and knows the dogs well, he told me to speak firmly to the black dog and tell him to go away and he would be ok and he was so we had no further trouble. Also it was annoying when we had instructions to clean up after our dog and the 3 farm dogs did it everywhere. Would not like to let any kids of mine play in the fields.
Would have been better if the grass was shorter too, we got soggy shoes and trouser bottoms walking across the field to toilets. We still had a good time and would use breck farm again its a lovely place and situated really nicely for travelling around. The family who own it were lovely and pleasant when we spoke to them it would have been really nice if they had popped down to see if everything was ok during our stay, then we would not have to write things down on here, its just the lack of cleaning this week that upset us. Maybe we caught them on a bad week, I don't know.

This was our first camping experience and we loved it. The owners were lovely,
We stayed on the campfire field and had a huge fire every night, we brought the logs and kindle from the farm which was reasonable price.
We have 2 girls and went with another family of 2 adults and 2 children, the children went into the wooded area around the camp and we lost them for hours at a time, they absolutely loved the freedom of the woods and they found a trail with play stuff on their way (while us adults just sat )
We never ventured into weybourne which is very close.
The farm also had fresh eggs and jams for sale,
There are plenty of toilets which are clean, The showers were ok too.
We went on the Poppy line and went on a real steam train to holt, then back to sherringham which we all enjoyed.
So all in all a great experience for our first camp and we are all looking forward to going back some time soon

Lovely family run camping site. We turned up around 5:30 in the evening without booking and had a nice welcome and she explained that as we didn't require electric hook up we could pitch the tent anywhere in the camping field.
We normally choose to camp in the slightly more commercial holiday parks so this felt slightly more like 'ruffing it' for us and I was a little worried about the facilities compared to where we would normally camp. I was happy to find the toilet and shower block was large and clean, if not a little more basic than other sites. It was a large breeze block barn.
The only criticisms would be that my husband said the floors in the men's showers were concrete and very grubby but the woman's were tiled and clean. Maybe they know us woman are a little fussier than the men!
Also the doors were always open ( I assume to help with ventilation?) so due to the time of year there were hundreds of daddy long legs inside by the evening and I'm not one for showering with bugs.
But obviously they are not responsible for the amount of bugs about, but it would have been nicer if the doors were kept closed to keep the numbers down. Previous comments have stated that the showers were cold but when we went they were lovely and hot.
It is a working farm so there is plenty of mud and I would recommend some wellies if the weather is bad. The views were lovely and there was lots of space for our 3 year old to run about and play.
It was £8 for the pitch, £2 per person and 50p for 3 minutes in the shower. Which I believe is the same price all year round.
So if there is 4 people in the tent or more it can be quite expensive for that time of year, although it would be a bargain in the summer holidays. It's worth shopping about.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it if you like the true camping experience.

Enjoyed an impromptu nights camping at Breck Farm a couple of weeks ago when I found the weather was going to be scorching.
I've been to the place before a couple of times, so knew what to expect. Not a lot has changed.
It was fantastic value for money, we had masses of room to set up our tent and enjoyed a BBQ and open fire in the evening.
The facilities are basic, and the showers cost 50p via a token which you buy from the farm house. One of our tokens didn't work, but I'm sure the friendly lady would have given us another token had we gone and told her!
There are freezers to store your ice packs in and quite a few leaflets on the surrounding area. I really like this laid back campsite, and will continue to use it as much as possible!

This was our second visit, having taken a tent here in 2009. They always say that memories are better left that way. We were drawn back to the site by the promise of a quiet family site. Sadly, despite improved facilities the site itself has taken a turn for the worse.
Firstly, the new shower block (only being constructed on our last visit) is already dirty and out of date. 50p for a 3. 5min shower, one minute of which was freezing the remaining minutes would have stripped skin from a child it was so hot.
The walls and floors left a lot to be desired. It didn't look as though it had been cleaned in a few days and the sanitary bins in the toilets stank. I'm aware that we visited after a bank holiday, but I'm a firm believer that this shouldn't mean a lower standard.
Secondly, the road in is a farm track. This is a working farm, part of the charm initially but not so charming when you're towing a caravan.
The hire of camp fires was a draw last time, but last night it was unbearable. The smell of people burning all of their rubbish was overwhelming and made me feel really ill actually.
It's a lovely location, perfect for Sheringham, Holt and Blakeney point-but we'd look elsewhere next time we're in Norfolk.

Just back from a 12 night stay a Breck farm stayed in Meadow field. Really nice friendly people. We never had problems with the showers or toilet block always had hot water, showers were 50p per 3. 5 mins plenty of soap and toilet rolls. We had a lot of heavy rain but fields soon dried out kids loved to visit pigs and the chickens. Plenty of space we flew quad line kites as week days were the quietest with the weekends picking up but not packed. Breck farm sells fire wood @ £4. 50 a sack very good. Brecks ask you not to take wood from the surround woods but some found it necessary to enter the woods and try ripping branches from the smaller trees which spoilt the woods. Hope they don't fence off the woods they are great for the kids to explore. They also sell eggs, fruit and veg. Can recommend the local steam ride kids loved it, went from Sherringham to Holt. Try Daves restaurant in Sherringham for fish and chips really good food well priced.
Only had one little problem with Brecks 'Moles' could be heard most nights digging and changing the level inside the tent, when we broke camp it was like looking down on little trenches where the little so and so had been, but that's camping. All in all we had a lovely time at Breck farm and would recommend it to all who need a field to pitch a tent or park a caravan. See you next year Breck farm.

Spacious site with ample washing facilities in the shower block. Very clean even after some heavy rain.
Stayed here in a large tent with my two daughters. No defined pitches but no one decided to pitch ontop of us either. Made it my base with trips to Sheringham and Holt.
We made and open camp fire each night and the girls made good friends. Quiet and clean. Great atmosphere. Would certainly come back.

Just got back from Breck farm having spent 4 nights there and thoroughly enjoyed our proper camping experience as we are fairly new to it. This site would suit more adventurous people and definitely take your bikes or hire them locally. I loved that there was nothing here except grass land, vast woodland areas to cycle and walk which are breathtakingly beautiful, happy free range chickens producing delicious eggs, cows and calf's, the smell of campfires in the evenings, and mouthwatering smell of breakfasts being cooked all over the site in the mornings, the slight roughness of this sight added to the proper camping feel and the rustic charms of Breck Farm.
My two kids Zara 9 and Jack 13 loved foraging for twigs in the woods to add to our logs on our camp fire which we bought from the farm. We cycled to the beach and to Weybourne station and boarded a steam train(including bikes) to Sherringham and spent a lovely day there and on the beach. Cromer carnival was on this week too and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the floats and fireworks it was a lovely atmosphere and great to be part of it. We went to Splash at Sherringham a really good indoor pool with wave machine and flume ride. So if you do get bored on site there's plenty around off site and not too far away.
It was also refreshing not to have any tacky on site cabaret entertainment or arcade noise pollution we just made our own simple entertainment but to be honest most nights we were so tuckered out we were tucked up by 10pm due to all the cycling and fresh air!
On the downside, the toilets/shower/washing up facilities not so good, could have been a bit cleaner and a bit of an update and splash of paint wouldn't go a miss but they were adequate and did the job, always toilet paper available, but not always hot water but after all it is a farm and its more to do with other people being a bit inconsiderate, I am a bit of a clean freak I might add.
Will definitely be coming back and bringing our dog Smithy next time!
