VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches (Pine Views) With Picnic HutNov 2024

We stay in many campsites and this one is one of the best we have encountered. Facilities are excellent (shower and toilet facilities were really good), pitch good size & the picnic hut with heaters were a game changer as we visited late November. A short stroll to Dersingham which had shops/pubs & walking distance to Sandringham.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Small Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

A very quiet and peaceful site. Friendly staff and the bar onsite is handy if you have no additional transport. I was a bit disappointed that there was no breakfast served, even though there was still a sign outside. Enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. Norfolk Nibbles do not work from the end of October - March. You would have been able to get a breakfast from the bar, except for Sundays when the bar is closed all day. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Many thanks, Pinecones Team.

Great location

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches (Pine Views) Bench only Nov 2024

Small site, by a busy road, but that doesn't bother us. Didn't really notice the sound of the traffic. Friendly and helpful staff, they even put the oven back on when we were late for breakfast. They handed out good information of what is close by and they had bikes you could hire. The shower blocks were very clean and the water was very warm/hot, all had large radiators which kept the cubical very warm, particularly this time of year when it was -3 degrees. Great spot for a short stay.
