 Our second visit to this site. Booking was a bit convoluted with their new web based system, and suggested very few pitches were available, while in practice the site was fairly quiet during our stay.
However, when we arrived the pitch we selected was unsuitable (too sloping for our chocks), but the staff were extremely helpful and patient in sorting us out something to our liking.
Location is excellent, and facilities very good and very well maintained / cleaned.
Would definitely return again

We absolutely loved our stay here last year with our 2 spaniels.
The campsite was clean and tidy,
The management were extremely helpful and welcoming and the location was perfect for exploring the coast.
We will be back!

Absolutely spotless and so much to do in the surrounding area.
This was our first visit and definitely won't be our last.
Great staff and a very good choice for singles, couples and families alike

2nd time we have been here. Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly wardens.
Right next to the marshes so can be blowy, which we were prepared for.
Great for exploring north Norfolk coast path, Wells and Blakeney easily walkable.
Red Lion friendly, but you may need to pre-book for meals.
Only downside is that it is a bit pricey.

I usually go to Wales but I needed somewhere closer to try camping in my new (vintage) trailer tent.
This site was only 60 miles from me. I was attracted to the marshes at this site, which seemed to offer a different experience.
The site itself is faultlessly run, clean and well-maintained loos and showers. I arrived on a Monday and there was plenty of space.
The next day I explored the marshes but was disappointed to find that the featured bridge had been removed which seems to make difficult access to the greater marsh area. I crossed anyway and got thoroughly muddy but that was my choice - no complaint.
On another day the pathway to Wells provided good views and varied landscapes.
When the next Saturday came I realised that the plots were actually quite close together as people poured in. I like the potential of this site.
Next time I will pay for EHU which looks to provide privacy on at least the rear and the protection of the internal road at the front.
It's an interesting location, seemed a little expensive but prices have risen everywhere.

This site is 'Back to Basics' camping on a fairly flat field site bordering the marshes. It is in a stunning location with wide, light pollution free, open skies for amazing sunsets and stargazing.
You are unable to book online it has to be done via phone.
The site is laid out pretty much in rows/grid which does detract slightly from the wild camping feel, but the pitches are large enough for modern family sized tents and a dining shelter if required. If in a campervan you may wish to bring levelling plates for some pitches, it is mainly flat, with a very gentle slope across the site.
There are mown paths with slightly longer grass in places to designate your pitch. The open layout allows family/friends to be on adjacent pitches. However if you wanted a bit more privacy, or indeed protection from the wind, pack a wind break or two!
We opted for electric hook up meaning we were on a pitch towards the top end of the site looking out across the field, down to the trees and marshes. We were pleased as although the pitches are large if we had been on one in the middle we would have been surrounded on all sides.
The shower and toilet block is located in the middle of the field and although a bit dated it was always stocked with soap and loo roll, free hot water/showers and it was very clean. Although Covid restrictions have been lifted, people have been kindly requested (although not compulsory) to where masks inside the building/facilities if possible. Understandable given it is a fairly compact space.
No campfires allowed but bbqs off the ground are permitted. They provide old metal shopping baskets to raise disposable bbqs up.
No specific play area, or ballgame area for children. There is a strip of trees/wood bordering the site on the coast path (not part of the site) where many children were playing and climbing trees.
Excellent base for North Norfolk Coast. Small Co-op at Wells-next-the-Sea, about 4miles away by car or if you wanted bigger shop, large Morrisons inland at Fakenham, about 15mins away. It is small market town.
Along the coast are lots of places to visit, wonderful walks and villages. Crabbing is very popular at Wells and also Blakeney. We have spent many an hour sat on the Quayside. At Wells, you could try a walk in the magnificent pine woods, with the odd secret rope swing and endless trees to climb, and dunes that sweep down on to the beach. A favourite of ours!
Also at Wells, eating fish and chips (Try French's) on the Quay and you are spoilt for choice for flavours of ice creams! There is a little train that runs between the beach/woods carpark and the Quay at Wells. Maybe walk one way and train back, great for little ones with tired legs!
All in all, great site, amazing location.

This is a well kept site right on the coast at Stiffkey, although 'right on the coast' is true, this area has about a mile of salt marsh before you get to the sea and as such, it is a haven for flora & fauna (but not for swimming and sandcastle building!).
The site is fairly level with large pitches, with the grass being left long at the edges to mark them out rather than a bit of hedging (which is a shame as it would have served as both a windbreak and to provide a bit of privacy). I had read a few reviews before coming here and people said it was windy, so we bought a windbreak and were glad we did.
It was on the pricey side at £35 per night with EHU, but showers were free and water was hot. There was one bathroom block which was clean but a big dingy in the daytime due to lack of natural light. Six shower stalls and 6 loos in each (Ladies & Gents), a washing up room and laundry. There was also an outside shower for washing mud off yourself or your dog.
Walking to the village with a dog was easier than expected. The villages on this coast road sometimes don’t have pavements and it can be quite dicey, but we discovered that a path has been created opposite the pub in the village which comes out a short distance up from the Green Way (road to the campsite) to make it safer. The pub is the Red Lion and is worth a visit.
We walked to Wells-next-the-Sea (about 4 miles). The Norfolk Coast Path runs there but it isn’t suitable for prams, wheelchairs etc at this point as it’s too narrow. There’s a small shop in Stiffkey and also a Co-op in Wells. The buses ran along the main road through the village and looked to be fairly regular (but we didn’t use them).
This site is well placed for visiting a lot of what North Norfolk has to offer and I would stay here again.

Great site, very natural. I cannot find anything wrong to say about this site. Basic general amenities, but very good.
This is a basic site with no frills, just very natural. Off busy roads.
Nice walk to the pub and small shop for essentials. Great for wildlife with it being right next to the marshes.
We have visited this site on numerous occasions over the years.

This was our fourth visit to this campsite and we recommend it. Centrally located on the North Norfolk coast in the small village of Stiffkey, it is set away from the village itself along a road leading to the North Norfolk Coast path and the marshes, which are both found at the northern boundary to the camping field. Other paths wind their way across the marsh and bridges crossing inlets which are worth a stroll along. Views extend to Well-next-the-Sea to the west, towards Blythburth in the east on a clear day and above, expansive skies. If you're intending to reach the sea though, you'll need to be well prepared, cautious of the tides and patient.
So to the site itself, it has everything we needed as tent campers, including well-kept toilets, washing facilities for pots, pans and bodies including numerous hot showers. All facilities were clean and well presented. The pitches are spacious at approx 12m x 12m each and when we visited £11 per pitch +£7 per adult per night (high season). Most of the pitches are on level ground, but some are gently sloping towards the north. For those in tents, I would recommend investing in a set of heavy duty pegs and a sturdy metal hammer as the ground can be a peg killer.
The coast hopper bus service runs along the coast road and stops at the end of the road leading to the campsite, so the local area is within easy reach and a boon to walkers such as us, looking to break up the coast path walk into manageable sections each day. The village has the popular Red Lion pub and a grocery / stores, and Well-next-the-sea is close at hand for more shopping and eating venues where plenty can be found.
Should we be looking to visit North Norfolk for a fifth time, this site will be high on our shortlist!

Lovely site in a good location, we are a family with small children and really enjoyed it.
PRO's: Location - straight out on to the salt marsh for wild swimming, clean facilities, free (push button) showers, really hot water for washing up. 20p plus £1 deposit for freezer blocks, but they were really well frozen.
CONS: The exposed location meant it was very windy. Also for us, the pitches felt a bit squashed in somehow, although we weren't on top of anyone and the site was pretty much full. We were also near the shower block, and people kept walking over our pitch, including between our tent door and the car, which was only about 3m away! BBQs are allowed but no burning of wood or fire logs. It was a bit of a shame that 15mins before we had to be off of the pitch our son came back from the office with a message to tell us to hurry up because the next people were there, and they then drove round and stared at us while we finished up. Needless to say we finished at 12noon exactly! A bit of a damper on the end of our holiday that.
We visited Wells beach, Brancaster beach and had a day in the creek. And did a seal boat tip stopping at Blakney Point, which was fantastic.
But overall, a great site in a good location. When we return we will be booking in early and requesting a pitch well away from the loo's!
