Incleboro Fields Caravan Club Site

The site itself is in a rare setting for the mostly flat East Anglia. It’s on a hill. It’s also shaped around a well used golf course, so walking from the far side of the site to the entrance is quite a trek, and involves a long curving walk. The site itself is in a rare setting for the mostly flat East Anglia. It’s on a hill. It’s also shaped around a well used golf course, so walking from the far side of the site to the entrance is quite a trek, and involves a long curving walk. There are also large signs at intervals around the course, warning that the land is private and any incursion onto the hallowed turf would be trespass. Beware! The Incleboro layout is decidedly “old fashioned’ and all but the service pitches are merely marked by the usual simple peg. Some pitches are tiny and some are huge. It’s all a bit random. The grass pitches themselves are mainly contained within small cul-de-sacs. All very nice and cosy except.... don’t be tempted to investigate whether there are any spaces available by driving in. You may find them full. Turning around and exiting would be a challenge for any large outfit. Walking around the site to find a suitable pitch is the other option, especially if you enjoy a good hike. Remember that the site is far from level and you will get a good work out The map provided isn’t much use either. In common with many of the new maps that have been published for C&MC sites, the map defies the usual cartographic convention by not putting north at the top. The Incleboro Fields map has north positioned somewhere down in the right hand corner. What does make the chart almost useless is that none of the numbered pitches are actually marked on it. This may well have been “the way it’s always been done,” but we are now in the 21st century and a simple chart with pitch markings shouldn’t be too hard. Why is this important? The wardens cannot direct to you which pitches are vacant because they are not marked. The best that can be achieved is that “there may be a pitch” in a certain cul-de-sac. This isn’t particularly helpful. One final observation. The wardens here seem to be inspired by the green keepers next door and spend a lot of time cutting any visible grass to within a millimetre of its roots. Leave your pitch and they’ll be strait on it with a mower. All this is unnecessary, and environmentally unfriendly both in fuel and in terms of the wild insect life. It’s against the C&MCs policy which requires all grass to be left to grow to a standard length of 2.5 inches (about 63mm). So why do wardens persist in manicuring grass? And that’s the problem. Incleboro appears to have been run in the same old fashioned manner for many years. Reliance on “thats way we’ve always done it” is short sighted and inevitably, unsustainable. To sum up, if I had to pick one word to describe the Incleboro Fields site it would be....... Average. If I were allowed two, they would be “Old Fashioned”..

Just got back home from this lovely site. When we arrived on site at 2 pm we did find it difficult to find a pitch but eventual found a spot. It was fully booked but I felt a bit cramped in. The washing facilities were very clean. No t.v aerial point which was disappointing since we only had a satellite aerial but couldn't receive any tv reception due to tall trees. Site is in a lovely location, plenty places to walk.

Just left this great site after a fantastic few days. Yes, it’s big, but the first half doesn’t give that impression, the second half over the hill may do, depends what you want, We parked at the top of the first half and there’s a public footpath up there which was wonderful for access to the surrounding areas leading into the local village and then onto the beaches (Cromer and Sheringham definitely both worth the walk) ... loved it, Thankyou wardens and c&mhc x

This is an excellent site with friendly and helpful staff. very well located between Cromer and Sheringham which are great beaches for swimming and also the beach at West Runton also very good cliff walks. The site was very well managed by the staff regarding cleaning and restrictions due to covid 19. Would highly recommend and will be back again in a couple of weeks

What a wonderful site. Fabulous wardens - couldn’t be more helpful. There are some great views from the pitch if you are lucky to get one of the pitches with a view. Great location. Walk to East Runton is nicer than the walk to West Runton. From East Runton it is a short walk along the beach to Cromer. The crab from the small stall just as you arrive in the town was excellent. You can then walk all the way back to West Runton ( subject to tides) and to the site. Golf course next door never looked very busy. Excellent fish and chips at East Runton (shuts at 7.30) where you can go and eat by the sea wall or in the car park overlooking the bay - be aware there is a height barrier to this car park. Holt country park is superb, for £2 you can stay all day and if you explore beyond the confines of the park the footpaths go for miles. Holkham Beach is ok, but campervans and motorhomes Cannot park in the beach car park - you have to park up by the house and walk back - have no idea why they have brought in that rule. Slightly further out is Burnham Overy Staithe where you can park on the small riverside beach and watch the world go by AOTA walk to the sea with wonderful sand - quite a trek for little ones though. Ice cream van visits the site every day around 4 and travels all round the site. If you want a holiday by the sea, with some attractions for children but also a rat for adults, then this is hard to beat. We will definitely be returning.
