Hunstanton Camping and Glamping Reviews

Fantastic location and friendly site

Great campsite, amazing location and rural views. Just a stones throw from south beach and local amenities. Staff were really welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend this site and looking forward to returning!

Thank you for noticing that we are putting genuine efforts into sustainability and rewilding of our little bit of Norfolk. We very much look forward to seeing you guys again soon on the Norfolk Coast :)

Great location

It's a very nice site. Very quiet and the showers/toilets were clean and tidy. Great location - very close to the beach, friendly hosts and pet friendly. We will be booking another visit, maybe longer than this visit.

Thank you Stewart for your fab 5 star review of Hunstanton Camping & Glamping, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us by the beach. Our ideal location is perfect for exploring the Norfolk Coast, a few days is definitely needed to experience all we have to offer. We very much look forward to seeing you guys again very soon here on the Norfolk Coast :)

Great location

The Location couldn't be better. It was a quiet local campsite with fire pits which were free to borrow. The toilets were clean and had a good amount of showers for campsite size. Wi-Fi was available, but the warden didn't get my text messages asking for password. Twice. No hot running water in the communal wash areas. This was needed as could not wash up well after cooking. Quite poor. Mats in showers would have been nice to keep off wet floor.

Thank you Alex for your lovely review of Hunstanton Camping & Glamping, we are so very pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us in our fantastic location, just 2 minutes from the beach. We are sorry that you did not get the wifi password, we have staff onsite 24/7 and anyone would have gladly helped you out. We do not have hot water for washing up, but there is hot water in the toilets and showers and buckets provided to wash up at your tent, should you like to. We very much look forward to seeing you guys again soon here on the Norfolk Coast :)

Smelly chickens

An okay weekend away, slightly further out from Hunstanton than we thought. Facilities were clean. However, as we were near the chickens in the house, the area we were pitched smelt quite badly. Our neighbouring tents also agreed and it got a little annoying by the end of the weekend :( However, the area around was lovely and hosts seemed nice. If you're pitched away from the chickens, you should be all good.

Thank you Aaron, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us by the beach. Our free-ranging chickens are great fun, in the heat, their accommodation can get a little smelly, and this adds to the farm stay feel that we have here. With views out over the marshes, and being just 2 minutes from the beach, our campsite is in the perfect location for exploring the Norfolk Coast. We should love to see you again soon here by the beach, mention the chickens and we will pitch you far over the other side :)

A most relaxing evening stay

Great family campsite, magical place, very quiet. It was like going back 25 years ago, only the price seemed a little bit on the high side - over £40 for 2 people for one evening. Would have been good to have earlier time to pitch tent up, rather than 5pm, but being able to leave at 11am is good. The campsite owner was really friendly and helpful.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and I'm pleased you enjoyed your say. I'm disappointed that you found £20 per person too much to pay for the enjoyments of being in each others company, watching the sunset over the sea, cooking your dinner over a campfire and watch the wildlife over Wild Ken Hill. Many thanks for coming and excuse my tongue-in-cheek response - I enjoyed speaking with you!

Great location

Great location, met immediately by Nigel, who was friendly, warm and helpful. Got one of the best pitches on the site. 3 minute walk to the beach, in easy walking distance of Hunstanton. Showers were good. Fire pits were awesome. Pitch perfect. We will definitely return!

Thank you Mark for your brilliant review of Hunstanton Camping & Glamping, we are so very pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us by the beach. Our Hunstanton Campsite is in the perfect location for enjoying a beach holiday here on the Norfolk Coast, with pitches for all just 2 minute walk to the beach. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon here by the beach :)

Peace and quiet

Lovely location, loved that it was quite relaxed and not regimented like some sites. Great location for watching the sunset, just beautiful.

Thank you Lynne for your brilliant review of our Glamping Bell tents, we are so pleased that you had a great time here with us by the beach. Our glamping bell tents come with everything you need to enjoy a relaxed stay just 2 minutes from the sea, with outside seating and your own fire pit. We very much look forward to seeing you guys again soon here on the Norfolk Coast :)

Great site

Great site near beach. Lovely hosts, child and dog-friendly, shop and pub within walking distance, plus coastal walks. Good vibes all round.

Site in a fantastic location

Close to the beach and lovely walks. Area around shower block is a bit of a building site with rubble and broken tiles, doesn't look finished. No hot water for hand washing or dish washing. Just a hole for the plughole that I nearly lost my shower gel down. I raised the issue with staff that there was no hot water for hand washing or dish washing. He said someone would look into it. 24 hours later, still no hot water...

Site's response

You reported an issue with hot water to wash hands in toilet block and the issue was resolved after calling in the plumber and within 36 hours. We do have hot water in a different location as well, there are 4 operational electric showers on 24 hours a day plus 6 gas fired showers in the campsite.

Unsafe, overpriced, basic

The pros were it's close to the beach, great sunsets, and lots of showers. The cons... whilst we were there, the main path had smashed glass all the way up it which was worrying for children. Parts of the site seemed like a building site, with lots of unfinished work all around. This may sound hilarious, but the most aggressive chickens I've ever encountered run loose around the site. One attacked my two year old daughter unprovoked one day, and they constantly harassed us and stole food from our lit BBQ when turning away for even a second. By our second day, we finally discovered the only way to get rid of them was to throw water in their direction. No hot water for washing up, or in the bathrooms. Only showers had heated water. Advertised WiFi didn't work (or, at least, had no signal in the camping field where we stayed). Only two male and two female toilets. One of the men's urinals was disconnected from the water pipe, so seemed like it wasn't being cleaned. One of the men's cubicles had no lock. Confusing signage. Despite booking at 'Hunstanton Camping & Glamping', there's no sign at the site with this name on. The only sign showed 'Norfolk Coast B&B', or something like this. The campsite isn't even in Hunstanton at all, but Heacham, a couple of miles further up the road. And confusing communication. I received a text from the owner before arriving, saying save the number and it's his direct phone. Received no reply after texting it back, and when calling it, found it wouldn't connect at all (it's actually an automated number which you can't contact). Felt it was a very high price, for the very basic and facilities provided. Feel very ripped off after spending a couple of nights there.

Site's response

Sorry you didn't find our campsite to your liking The text you received should have included a google map to locate us, and I can't explain why it did not connect you to my mobile, sorry. Most customers are pleased that we are not located in the middle of Hunstanton or any built up area, we are on the boundary of a village looking out towards "wild Ken Hill". If you were looking for a town centre campsite, that's not what we offer, sorry. Sorry, you only found the 2 toilets in the men's area and 3 toilets in the lady's area and missed the other 6 toilets in the second block, how many toilets were you hoping for ? I trust you found them to be clean? We haven't had any issues with the WIFI and it had been upgraded when you stayed, it's a service supplied through Facebook so I'm wondering if you engaged your Facebook profile? I do apologise regarding the chickens. If you had said I would have locked them away, however, when you stayed we were quiet with only a couple of other vans. It's best to never trust an animal with a 2-year-old child, all animals and poultry can react in unexpected ways. With regards to our price, all payments are in advance with our description of what we are stated clearly. It seems to me you were looking for a town centre holiday park but that is not how we describe ourselves. Nigel.

Great setting and good atmosphere

Pleasant setting. Lovely stretch of coast within walking distance, good atmosphere, convenient shopping avoiding supermarkets. Great restaurants within a short drive.

Fab weekend for us and our dogs

We had another amazing stay this weekend. Couldn't fault anything. Perfect location next to the beach. Relaxed atmosphere. Clean and well kept. Nigel very friendly came round to check on us each evening but not in an interfering way. Just our kind of stay for us and our 3 dogs.

Location great but far too busy

Fantastic location, so close to the beach. Toilet facilities cleaned regularly, however, far too many pitches crammed far too close together for my liking.

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us by the beach. Our little campsite was fully booked over the Bank Holiday weekend and many of our happy campers loved the festival vibe. Usually, we are a quiet campsite with plenty of room, but over the peak holiday periods, we do get very busy with everyone wanting to flood to the beach for a holiday. We very much hope to see you guys again soon :)

Beautiful, peaceful place to be

Really nice park

Really nice park, close to the beach, very clean and well organised. Can be a little noisy during the day from the parties in the neighbouring caravan park and from the cars driving by. The ducks living on the premises are hilarious :)

Fantastic little hidden gem

We stayed here for 1 night. This site is fantastic. The location is very close to the beach. Facilities were spotlessly clean and the owners were very nice people. Thank you for your hospitality and well done in making such a lovely place. We will be back!!

Lovely campsite

Highly recommend, facilities looked to be getting updated and were very clean and nice. Lovely quiet campsite a stones throw from the beach. Brilliant friendly service, they recommended a local pub which was excellent.

Site's response

Thank you, Stephanie, for your brilliant review of our campsite here by the beach in Heacham. We have a lovely little spot just a stone's throw from the vast open sands of Heacham South Beach, in a rural and quiet countryside location, that is still very close to Hunstanton. We very much look forward to seeing you guys again here on the Norfolk Coast :)

First overnight trip in our camper

This was our first overnight stay in our recently purchased/converted camper. We have 3 dogs and we have found that some sites only accept 2 per pitch so we were delighted to find that Norfolk Coast B&B and Camping allowed us to stay with all 3 of them. And what a perfect place for dogs and dog lovers - just a few minutes from a super dog friendly beach and lots of lovely walks. The camp was not very busy which made it perfect for us, being nervous about how the dogs would behave on their first trip, but they did us proud. Toilets, showers & washing facilities were exceptionally clean and it looked like new toilets were being prepared in the field where our camper was (although the ones available were not to far away anyway). Local shop which sells absolutely everything just five minutes away. We took a fire pit and wood with us but they are provided by the vendors if required and some of the other campers were doing so. We will definitely be returning soon and will recommend it to our friends & family.

Thank you Debbie for your brilliant review of our campsite here in Heacham, we have a lovely location here surrounded by a nature reserve, open fields and of course the beach. We are a very dog friendly site, welcoming all breeds, our beach and local vicinity is dog friendly as is most of Hunstanton. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us on the Norfolk Coast, and we very much look forward too seeing you again very soon :)

Great location, beautiful surroundings

The campsite is ideally located for exploring the Norfolk coast, the coast path runs just behind the site and the beach is just a 2 minute walk away. The facilities onsite are basic, well maintained and clean. The views over the countryside are vast and open, the sunset was amazing over the sea and you won't believe how clear and starry the skies are. Hunstanton is close by, a great town for a wander, nice shops and lots of restaurants. The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, they told us to check out Wild Ken Hill, I can't recommend this enough it was a beautiful spot with an abundance of wildlife. Great site, great location, would highly recommend.

We have a great campsite here in a wonderful rural location close to Hunstanton, we very much look forward to seeing you again soon here on the Norfolk Coast :)

Small, friendly, campsite close to beach.

We found the owner Nigel very helpful. The campsite was clean and nicely laid out. Although there is a large holiday park across the road on the other side that looked over fields. Only a few 100 yards to the beach. Clean toilet facility. Lovely walks
