 Have been visiting this site twice a year for 6 years. We were pleased to hear that changes were being made to the caravan/camping area and had high expectations for our recent holiday. Sadly, these expectations were not met. The caravan/camping pitches have been moved away from the current site of the toilet/shower block and shop to create a mix of hard standing and grass pitches. These were very close together and when the site was busy it felt very claustrophobic and the views were either obscured by cars, other caravans or an open-sided huge metal framed building. Previously we have had lovely views of the lakes/landscaping. Our hard standing was of very poor quality and was more like rubble, we were unable to put our awning flooring down as it would have been damaged and we feared for our dog’s paws on the surface.
The pitch was advertised as being fully serviced ie water, waste, TV point and electric hook up when we booked. However, the water was not connected so we had to walk back to the original water tap by the shop to fill up, quite a trek with a full water container. This is also where the chemical waste is still located. It was a blessing not to have to walk all this way with waste water as well, although it was a problem not having water to flush the drain after use.
The site also offers Wi-Fi but this is not available on the new location and is still only connectable by the shop.
There was also supposed to be a brand-new toilet and shower block in the new location, but this has not yet been built. The current facilities are a little tired (although always very clean) and one of the 3 ladies showers was out of order due to frost damage (it’s now June and we feel this should have been repaired). The site was busy (there is now an increased number of pitches) and there were queues in the morning. The gents had only 1 working shower, the second one was cold water only!
It is now nearly double the price to stay here for a week and the facilities available were not worth it. We discussed our issues with the General Manger and whilst we were given a small reimbursement did not feel that our concerns, especially regarding the safety of the hard standing, were taken seriously and he stated it would not be changed. Overall, we were extremely disappointed and although we had good weather and great fishing we felt our stay was marred by these issues and will not be returning

Just from a few days camping at Cobbleacres Lakes. Brochure is very misleading. expected electric hook ups to be further away from camp shop and toilet block as the site seems to get noisy from 7:30 - 8:00 am when the fishermen start to arrive and gather around the shop with no thought for the campers. Had no hot water for 2 days and being campers had no other facilities. Brochure states that shop sells snacks and drinks but was never stocked up and rarely open. Washing up area has no light. Sinks in mens toilets had no plugs and washing up sinks had no plugs. Re fishing states in rules no keep nets but we saw someone using one even though we reported it to the bailiffs. On paper the site seemed ideal but in reality they care more about day ticket fishermen than campers. No local shop within walking distance so you need to drive. After 4 pm there is no staff on site if anything goes wrong. We're not asked at anytime if everything was ok, whether we were enjoying ourselves or wished a good journey home.

Relatively quiet, rural site between Norwich and Aylsham. The site has five lakes and, in my opinion, is a fishery first and foremost although they are selling static caravans so perhaps the emphasis may change.
Facilities are limited to a toilet/shower block and external pot wash area. If there was anything else I didn't see it. No complaints from the ladies in our party but the showers in the gents area had no working temperature control and the water was unbearably hot. Be warned! Pot wash area was very basic.
There is an on site shop which sells fishing gear/bait and a few cold drinks. We needed nothing during our week long stay so only saw it when checking in. Opening times seemed to depend on what the staff were doing.
Fishing seems to be very popular on site and is not restricted to guests so there is a fair amount of traffic from early morning until dusk. This was a bit of an issue for our party as we had the last two electric hook-ups which were right by the shop where everyone stopped.
As we were fishing we didn't venture off site a great deal but had a pleasant lunch in the Fox on the A140, which is no more than 5 minute drive. We also went to the fish and chip shop in Aylsham which was excellent quality and value for money.
At £12. 50 per adult, I wouldn't recommend the Bure Valley Railway. Very uncomfortable and you can see more of the countryside by driving or walking. Kids enjoyed it though.

We were looking in the current Caravan and Camping year book for a certified site mid Norfolk. In the book we found Cobbleacre Park and it showed it to be an all round site with a bar, restaurant, children's play area, pets, a fish symbol, showers etc. Therefore, we thought we would try it. It was late in the day and when we arrived the site looked tranquil with lakes and plenty of green space. We booked in for a couple of nights but then realised that Cobbleacre Park is predominately for the fishing enthusiast. There is no restaurant, no bar no children's area and the park though looks spacious is fenced in because of Otters breaking in and taking the fish. The Camping and Caravan book was so misleading and did not give an accurate view of the site. If you are a fishing buff then it was perfect but not for us. Had we had access to the internet at the time it would have given us an accurate overview. We were very disappointed as it was also very expensive for a certified site.

We had a wonderful time, fishing was great, site and shower block was lovely and clean. The fishery manager is a very friendly man, nothing was to much trouble for him. Security at night was the only downfall, obviously fishery manager cant be there twenty four hours a day, perhaps owners should think of a gated system with pass cards, which would stop those fishing persons sneaking in to get a free nights fishing and anything else they may want to get up to.

You enter the site on a gravel road, and as you come round you get to the main road through the site. Bit pot holey but not too bad.
As you head to the fishing hut you see the 16 amp hook ups on your left, with the 5 amp further back and nearer the lake you can see. If you don't want EHU there are other fields to pitch on around the centre lake, weather permitting. All the fields slope towards the lakes so the tops will always be drier. Grass seems to be cut regularly and not to long.
Showers are free, and you have a separate shower and loo from the fishermen, if this site gets busier they will need more. The floors and showers were tiday and fairly clean. The mould needs to be sorted out though on the tiles in the showers.
We hooked up to the 16amp next to the road, as we had a tent I wish we hadn't, very noisy in the morning with the anglers arriving often about half 6. Someone decided to arrive with their radio blasting away and the warden joining in with singing - despite there being a quiet time till 7. 30, luckily we were awake but felt sorry for the family next door with little ones.
Quiet time at night is 10. 30 but the site is silent at about 10. 00 or just after - very thoughtful campers.
For the children there is very little to do, but even on a bank holiday weekend there was plenty of room for ball games with no interference to other campers.
Didn't fish but there was plenty of fish coming out and a fair size as well. Good choice of lakes as well, with a good species range. Little tackle shop on site also.
Overall, we would go again but only for the fishing being so good on site. And on the rear field or the bottom right hand corner as you look at the main lake.
If we were just visiting family we would go elsewhere.

Just returned from a 6 night stay here and for anybody who is into fishing then this is a site to visit. You have 5 lakes to choose from and if you are in a tent you are pitched by Adams lake which we fished for 4 days and caught every day biggest being carp of 14lbs. There are toilet facilities for people day fishing, while people staying on site have there own toilet and showers (2 of each) which you are given a code for. They are cleaned every day and have plenty of hot water with plenty of space and hooks for clothes, there is a pot washing area 2 sinks with hot water again. Did not see a play area for children so I don't know if they have any.
The bailiff on site is bob who sees to everything from holiday bookings to people fishing, he's there from about 6-30am to about 4pm. There is no barrier of any kind at entrance so you can get people driving in or out at any time of day or night but we found this not to be a problem. If you book a holiday here whether its camping or staying in one of there statics it as to be done with paypal.
Aylsham is the nearest village with a tesco and local shops which is only about 3 miles away. Great Yarmouth and Cromer not far away and the norfolk broads is also nearby, Wroxham is a lovely place to visit. Cobbleacres is a very nice site in nofolk countryside, we will be back in the future overall rating from me 9/10

Quiet area away from normal hustle and bustle. Lovely site with lakes for fishing and set in a very rural quiet area. Fishing costs extra per £7day or £15night where we saw it get busy especially at bank holidays and weekend as it is open to public for fishing as well as campers and holiday caravans. It was very bad area for mobile phone signals but a public phone on site if needed and difficult to get signal throughout our journeys in Norfolk.
Aylsham was nearest for any shops with tesco budgens and banks and chemist. Several pubs and eating places on main road to Aylsham and at end of road junction A140 at Hevingham.
Ice cream cart visited every afternoon. There was one block of toilets and showers I think four in total although we didn't use these as we hired a static caravan but did have a look and seemed adequate and clean for the amount of campers on site over the Easter holidays. We stayed in badger caravan and it was clean and well presented and a reasonable price.
Lovely walks in the forest next to site. When walking turn right at camp gates around the bends carry on walking along brick kiln road until Bringles Turn on the right which is a public footpath leading over a small stream and stile into the forest. You can take the car but limited parking in via A140 on right just past the caravan store. Buxton heath is also nice to walk but stay to main path as adders are present and there is bog and marsh in the middle as well as being a SSI listed with natural England.
We visited the norfolk broads Horstead and Cotishall had river walk then Wroxham with walks by river on the broads. Ranworth broad nice with conservation area and church with tower to climb if open and church tea shop with pub where there was adequate parking.

A Camping & Caravanning Club CS which is run by the Cobbleacre Lakes Fishery. If you like CS / CL type sites, Cobbleacre Lakes is sure to please.
Set well off the road, in a very quiet location, this is an entirely peaceful, informal & very comfortable site which is ideally situated for visiting both Norwich and the North Norfolk coast.
The pitching area is a large level field in front of the manager’s office. The row of 5A EHU pitches back on to one of the lakes. I guess that families with children will need to exercise the obvious precautions.
Conveniently positioned next to the pitching area is a modern toilet / shower (free) block. In CS / CL terms, this facility is excellent. There is also an outdoor pot washing facility, but this was not connected at the time of our visit.
No local shops; nearest ‘civilization’ (Co-op, chippy, Indian takeaway, pharmacy, newsagent) is 4 miles away in Horsford. If you need caravan spares / repairs, Norwich Caravans is nearby on the Cromer Road.
Daytime traffic in Norwich centre can be quite slow and expect to pay about £1.45 / hour to park. Perhaps consider the Airport Park and Ride which is directly on your route into Norwich from this site. Evening visits are much easier; after 6.30pm City Centre parking is a flat rate of £1.60.
If you like real ale pubs, be sure not to miss, firstly, the multi award winning Fat Cat Pub. (49 West End Street, Norwich, NR2 4NA) Off the beaten track, but you won’t believe your eyes when you see around 40 different beers being served all day every day. Secondly; The Cider Shed (98-100 Lawson Road, Norwich NR3 4LF) for real cider and good music.
