Pinecones Caravan and Camping Reviews

Lovely campsite with excellent amenities

Lovely site with excellent amenities. As an older couple we were disappointed to be put right next to the children's playground.

Great site with brilliant facilities

Just returned home from 3 nights at Pinecones, this was our first visit. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The bar is a great addition so nice in the rain or sunshine. We are seasoned campers in our 20th year. We had quite a bit of rain and having spent other camping trips in the rain, the drainage on the field was brilliant. Never was it boggy or squashy underfoot, electric pitches great. The private bathrooms give a more luxurious feel than shared facilities on other sites. Pinecones is really well managed with all the rules set out and a quiet zone from 9pm, which I liked, not that it felt militant, just giving people a relaxing break. The walks from the site were really good we did a lovely walk to Sandringham and the pub, The Feathers, a lovely friendly place with a large beer garden. Thanks Pinecones. Also, I need to mention the fantastic onsite takeaway team, Norfolk Nibbles, who serve reasonably priced lovely food (especially the burgers and the family breakfast) - a really friendly team 😀

Great find

This is a great site. We found it very relaxing. It had everything we needed. The shower rooms were spacious and very clean. There are some great walks close by. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely go again.

An excellent and well organised site

For the last 20 years, I have normally used one of the clubs so it refreshing to use an independent site. I was impressed by the friendly welcome and the time spent explaining the site facilities. The pitch that was fully serviced was larger than one normally gets and included a picnic table and good value for money. With a bar and hot snacks on site, it gave a club feel and instead of shower blocks, the private bathrooms gave an up market feel about the place. The site has installed many solar panels to aim to be self sufficient in electric usage. The area is beautiful with many beaches and lovely countryside to explore, either on foot, bike or car. Down side, there is constant road noise from the main road and we felt the beach car parks were expensive.

Thank you for your great review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and loved our park, as well as having solar panel to generate our electric, we also have our own water which flows below our campsite. The bar opened at Easter and we are pleased that you made use of it during your stay. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Pinecones.

Thank you for our review.

Great place

Nice place to stop. Really friendly and cheerful team that run this site. Good site rules mean that it isn't noisy late at night. The place is kept incredibly clean and the toilet and shower rooms are the best I've seen. Very impressed with the welcome, which includes info on the nearest walks. Try out Norfolk Nibbles next door to the office. Lovely food and a great price. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Thank you for your amazing review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. We take great pride in our campsite/facilities. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Thanks, Pinecones Team

Pretty good

Some really nice touches, but then some things didn't quite work. So individual bathrooms sound great, but getting in them in high season is going to be interesting, as you are going to need more due to the number of pitches. That said it's a bit different and the owners are really trying to create something special.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are glad that you like the things we have done to improve the park. We have two separate blocks of facilities, and we have found that over the 9 years the site has now been open, they have coped very well. We hope you will visit us again in the future. Thanks, Pinecones Team

Good site great location

Great, well maintained site with good location. Others mention noise issues but we did not find any. We felt the price was high for off season, especially considering the reduced service.

Site's response

Thanks for the review, we are pleased that you enjoyed the site, and you did not have an issue with the road noise. We hope you made use of the bar which opened Easter 24.

Great

Very quite clean site and ideally located for Sandringham and Hunstanton. Showers good and clean. Didn't use the bar or shop as they were closed (Sunday) but check in was easy, just pick up your pack from the postbox. I would recommend this site 👍🏻

Amazing!

My 9 year old daughter and I are camping novices, so the fully electric pod was perfect. The greeting at reception was warm, friendly and very informative, with the addition of some excellent walks and a step by step guide (my daughter loved this and thought she was Bear Grylls!) The pod was immaculate! The bed was super comfy and we had an electric kettle, toaster and led lighting, along with a mini oven and hob. The setting was stunning and we saw a herd of deer when we arrived, including a rare, white deer! My daughter loved the deer/bird hut too. The washing facilities were immaculate and cleaned daily. Showers were warm and powerful. The new pub with cinema screen was beautifully decorated and an excellent addition to the park. Hot food is available certain nights and we had pies on pie night which were good. We also took our 9 month old puppy who also loved it. The mini off the lead park was great as were the watering stations and dog wash! We 100% will be returning as it was such a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Thank you! Just a suggestion, but a small upgrade to the play park would be excellent.

Amazing place

Wow, I came on my first solo trip with my son and we fell in love 🥰 We had a great spot and enjoyed every moment of our stay, even though the nights were rough 😂 The people were really friendly. We loved the bar and the toilet/shower facilities were immaculate, just what was needed. We will definitely be returning very soon.

Pinecones

A lovely friendly site with a lovely walk too Sandringham. Very dog friendly and there were plenty off of the lead walks for them.

Lovely place

A well laid out site with great facilities and clean bathrooms, which were regularly attended to. A new bar just opened and the staff were friendly. There were a lot of deer spotted in the adjacent field. A lovely quiet site, handy for many local places. The site was also dog friendly. There was a bus that runs through the village 5 mins away and there were plenty of walks close by, including a RSPB reserve.

Great location and campsite

Great location for accessing the beaches of Norfolk and peaceful at night considering it is on the main road. Checking in process was seamless, with clear instructions and additional information such as walks (I chose self-check in), which was appreciated. Very dog friendly and the facilities were excellent.

Loved it

Awesome campsite, can't wait to return to try the new bar. Can't wait to return.

Nice little place

An absolute gem of a place. Lovely big pitches. Gorgeous walks from site. The takeaway shop was very nice. Food is cooked to order. Will be back for sure

Lovely stay

Very enjoyable stay. The site is in lovely surroundings, very peaceful and picturesque. Shower facilities have to be one of the best - spotlessly clean, hot water and very spacious. Will definitely be back for a longer visit next time.

Great pods

We had a great visit. Very smooth check-in. Lovely and clean. Would definitely return and have already recommended to family... Made use of the Hide to watch the deer and birds. Please replace the mattresses as they are a bit worn now.

Camping trip

Lovely campsite with plenty of places nearby to enjoy.

Perfect

We had a quick overnight stay, arriving outside of office hours. Perfectly quiet, clean and well managed.
