Good for families

always a delight to visit

I felt I had to step in and write a review for this site which I have visited many times over the past 5 years. The site is on the Sandringham Royal Estate, and located in a forest. That means a fews things you need to expect. Trees. These are big green things and there are lots of them. and just like trees everywhere else in the world, they have the magnificent ability to absorb radio signals. They also offer perfect conditions for wildlife, birds and insects. So you can expect, and as it states on the site info.. a) poor t.v. reception b) poor mobile network reception c) wildlife and d) insects Fell free to moan about the phone signa. The Club, site and staff can do nothing about it.. That is up to the mobile network providers and, being an industry I work in, I can assure you a campsite repeater for every network in a forest location is very low on their priorities.. so low, it doesn't exist. North West Norfolk is generally notorious for poor mobile reception away from the main towns. If you want 24/7 connectivity, then perhaps Norfolk isn't the place for you. Generally we have always managed to get some sort of a signal on the upper part of the site, albeit low. and normallly ownly out side. Your caravan/motorohome/campervan is a faraday cage,,,, it blocks radio waves.. so when you draw the blackouts, close the doors, any signal you might have had gets reduced further....unless like myself i have fitted a 4G repeater and external aerial on my van... Don't leave a bad review just because you can't switch off and you want to balme the Club the site. If it upsets you that much write to your service provider.. That being said the new club wifi ( free ) should keep you happy now.. but dotn expect to stream movies or play online games. Do that at home... Wildlife and insects... welcome to Nature. You are guests in THEIR space. Get used to it.. We have never had an issue visiting the site, either with the staff or the facilites. The shower blocks are perfectly adequate an a lot better than other sites but yes, like all facilities used year round, they are due a refurb. - which is tricky when the site is open all year round.. but an refurb is planned. I just hope they dont fit pushbutton showers and fit a slightly stronger repeater pump.. But that is up to the club site maintenance planners not the site staff. The staff have always been welcoming and helpful. I admire their ability to answer the same questions every day with a smile, and to endure the criticism that gets left on here... We are back on site this weekend 10/11/12 November and looking forward to it immensely...
