Loved it

We had booked for 3 nights but added a forth. We found this site to be everything Seacroft at Cromer wasn’t. It was quiet clean and well organised. We loved it here! The location was fantastic, plenty of good walks for the dogs and the village of Ludham was perfect. We’ll definitely be back.

A great introduction to our club membership.

We were really pleased to have booked here. We stayed for three nights as our introduction to club sites. The facilities are really clean and well positioned as is the children's play area, we felt confident to let the kids (9&6) play safely on their own. We were thankful to reception for the loan of a gas bottle when ours ran out and they had no smaller bottles for sale... So grateful as they saved our dinner! The only downside to our stay was the unexpected RAF inland training in the daytime and at about 10pm directly behind the site, the apache helicopter was great for the kids to see but it was quite unnerving being so late at night, perhaps if the site had been made aware we could have been better informed. Despite this however we will most likely book to stay here again

Didn't want to leave!

We had a very enjoyable and peaceful 6 night stay on this site. It is a lovely, beautifully maintained site with an abundance of flower tubs and baskets. The wardens are super friendly and helpful and had a sale of second caravan accessories while we were there one afternoon. A pizza van comes round on a Wednesday and highly recommend giving this a try - they are freshly wood fire baked and delicious. The toilets and showers were kept spotlessly clean and there are two toilets available for use when cleaning is taking place. It was a very hot week but we had a pitch up against the hedge at the back of the site so got the shade for most of the day which was very welcome. There are plentiful water, waste areas. All the pitches are well kept with regular mowing. The area is beautiful and we particularly recommend a walk to Ludham down to the quay where we discovered an artisan bakery just down a lane from the quay (signposted). We bought a couple of Portuguese tarts and they were the best we have tasted in the UK! Also recommend the circular walk to St Benets Abbey just down the road from the site and a boat trip on the Mississippi river boat starting at Horning - the commentary is really entertaining and informative. You go past Arthur Ransom's house and some very expensive properties on the banks of the river. You can hire bikes from Bewilderwood just down the road for £20 for a day or £17 for half a day and cycle to a disused railway track for safe offroad cycling and visit a tea room on the route. The only 'downside' is that there is very poor phone connectivity in the area and therefore quite a few places don't take cards (including the boat and the fishmonger in Cromer) so you will need some cash on you just in case. We can't recommend this site highly enough and will definitely be returning as we didn't want to leave!

Quiet, relaxing site

Stayed here for one night, very helpful and professional staff. We had a lovely big pitch in a corner, by tree line so very peaceful and shady in the sun. Site info pack was informative and a lot of friendly people were staying there too (never said good morning so many time in one day 😁). Shower/toilet block was very clean and not a bad water pressure, plenty of them too; could maybe do with a little modernisation.

So good we extended our stay

Originally planned a 2 night stay as part of our site hopping campervan trip, combined with the Sandringham club site and a CL (Newbies so we wanted to try a few sites out). We ended up staying 3 nights and were tempted with more. Site itself is excellent. Friendly folks to meet and greet, and very good pitches. Level and roomy. Facilities were impeccable. We were familiar with the area due to a holiday last year with AirBnB as our van was still a victim of the various production delays, and found a good base for visiting Happisburgh, Winterton, Horning etc. Would gladly revisit. Only issue to be aware of is the gradual clamp down of restricted parking in the area for campervans/motorhomes. Fine at Happisburgh at the pay and display above the beach, but Winterton "No Motorhomes", we only managed to park through some gentle persuasion that our 6m fiat is technically a van conversion not a motorhome, and observing a 6m mini-bus leaving the same car park whilst we were having our discussions, but couldn't guarantee access will be granted next time.

Boat Trip Stay

Stayed 3 nights at this lovely well kept friendly site. Wardens very friendly and kept the site immaculate. We went to Wroxham and hired a little electric boat which was worth every penny. A visit to Horsey bay is well worth it to see quite a few seals. There is a Pub 5 minute walk from the site called The Dog Inn which sells basic food and has a nice outdoor seating area with a lovely dog exercising area and provides dog bowels and dog beds. The on site dog area isn't really for walking your dog but its good for first thing in the morning and last thing at night if they need the toilet, but there is a nice walk 5 minutes down the road and along the river. We had a lovely stay here and would defiantly return.

Nice area, nice site

Stayed for 4 nights in June. Pitches were very well kept and flat ( well it was Norfolk!) Site facilities were typical club standard and were kept fresh and clean by the staff. Wifi and TV signal was good and waste and water amenities were always tidy. Good support from wardens in helping us find the best routes to places, and good ideas in the info hut. Walked into Ludham to the Kings Arms avoiding the main road. Pub ok, didn’t try food. Did another circular walk the following day to How Hill and St Brent’s Abbey. Lovely and peaceful along by the river. Took a bus into Great Yarmouth, wasn’t my favourite place tbh, looked a bit rundown especially in the town. Also took a bus to Wroxham, a small town but nice to wander around. Tried the Dog Inn on our last night, however the kitchen was closed for a week, so only had a couple of drinks there. We were spoilt with the weather, lovely warm, mostly sunny days which always makes a stay at a site look a little bit brighter. For me the pitches make this site, not too close together and we’ll looked after

A very relaxing couple of days

We spent 2 nights at this wonderful site and wish it could have been longer. The site was almost full but it didn’t feel crowded. There was a very relaxed vibe. The site staff were very friendly and the ablutions were very clean. We chose a grass pitch which was perfectly flat. We were a short distance from a lovely walk along the Broads. The Dog Inn (5 mins walk) was good (the fish and chips was huge), but it is also only a 30 min walk along lovely footpaths into Ludham, where there is a pub, shop and butchers. There is also a disused RAF airfield (RAF Ludham), which was home to Spitfire and Typhoon squadrons during WWII. There are some derelict buildings left, including the ATC tower, although this won’t be to everyone’s taste (I have a very patient wife!). This was the first site we’ve stayed at that we didn’t use the car once. It helped that the weather was gorgeous. Also perfect tv reception with our standard aerial, so we got to watch the Jubilee celebrations! I can highly recommend this site and we will definitely go back. On reflection, I think it’s the nicest site we’ve stayed at.

Quiet Week in Norfolk

Great site for accessing the Broads. The wardens were very friendly and welcoming. Usual high club standard facilities. The whole site was clean well kept. The ditches and wild strips dividing areas had moorhens and ducks. There are plenty of good walks in the area. At Ludham bridge we could put in our SUP and paddle along the river Ant. The boats were friendly and considerate passing. We had a lovely meal at The Dog pub, just up the road from the site. It was sad to see several places around the area closed or only open at weekends.

Great location and great walks

Spent two nights here and although the site was nearly full there were plenty of showers/toilets available. Standards very high and super clean site. The wardens were all very helpful and chatty. The location is superb for lots of great walks through fantastic countryside and river paths. Lovely to be back here after 45 years (last time in a boat) and the area has not changed at all. Great pub close to the site (The Dog) which our dogs loved as they even provided dog beds, it also had a great kids play area. Super site and location, we will certainly return here later this year.
