Pinecones Caravan and Camping Reviews

The perfect stay

This trip was a surprise for my elderly mother. From driving through the barrier at the entrance to the park, it was clear that this was a well-kept site. Everything was tidy and in place, the pitches were ample in size and clean, complete with a picnic table and benches. The area was well lit, everything we needed. The toilet/shower blocks are very spacious, heated and well-presented, and it was a nice touch to have music playing too. Only a 10 minute drive from Heacham Beach and 15 minutes from Hunstanton. The site is in the heart of lots of local walks. Excellent site, great facilities, clean and spacious. I would rebook in a heartbeat.

Fantastic place to stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Pinecones and would definitely stay again. The facilities were so clean. My little boy loved the play area, which was an added bonus. Lovely site and can't wait to return!

It was okay

Right on the A149. There was traffic noise until late and started again early. The radio is played loudly in the shower block. It was set so loud, I could hear it from inside the campervan pop-top at about 5am Saturday morning when it woke me up. This is a year-round site and reception is meant to be open 9.30-1pm, but it was closed both of the two times I tried to visit during our stay (during stated opening times). The nearest pub is a 1.5 mile walk away, which was too dark to contemplate doing in the winter. There was also meant to be an off-lead walking area for the dog, but I couldn't find it. There aren't many year-round sites in the area, so we would visit again if we need to go to Norfolk out of season. Despite the music, the shower block is very good. They are individual shower rooms with sink, toilet, shower and heated towel rail and they were very clean.

Last outing for this year

A great site with clean toilets/shower rooms for our last outing of the year. Would recommend this site.

If I say how brilliant this place was, they’ll all come

Pinecones Caravan and Camping really has it all and they know what they're doing. Perfect for families with dogs, ours being absolute angels helped too. Nice walks and all the amenities you could ask for. The showers are fab, as was the fact I could sing in there! Thanks so much. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Thank you for your fantastic 5 star review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us, and very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Good all rounder

We had a lovely couple of nights at the park. Staff very helpful and friendly. My only criticism is that we were pitched close to main road and therefore would request a pitch on the field if we stay again.

Thank you for the great review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. If you let us know next time, we can hopefully allocate you a pitch on Sandy Acres. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thanks, Pinecones Team.

Great site

Just had a lovely week at Pinecones and found it to be a fantastic site. The site plan is very well thought out and eco-friendly with excellent facilities, helpful friendly staff, and near several gorgeous beaches. Will definitely be returning next year. Thanks Pinecones, keep up the good work.

Site's response

Fabulous site run by good people

Very clean, toilets and showers cleaned at least twice a day. Greeted by Martin and parts of his team, well informed and lots of great local advice. There is a little road noise but the team at Pinecones don't shy away from making this public knowledge. I'd definitely recommend and will absolutely visit again.

Thank you so much for the review! See you again soon.

Norfolk break

From the time we arrived, the reception was so friendly with clear instructions on where to park. All the facilities and the bathrooms were fantastic, so clean. Lovely showers. We will certainly return.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your review. We love hearing about your holiday and see you again soon.

Great site

Good location, easy to find and near all the places you would want to see. Site is very clean with friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Now we head into the end of the year, we will soon be starting our 2024 upgrades. This year we have planned to add another phase of solar panels to further reduce our grid dependency and generate green power on-site. Each of our hard standing fully serviced pitches will have a Pergola giving shade on the pitch and be the home for 6 x solar panels. This will give us 150 panels on site by the end of the year. We hope to see you again soon. Martin

Not for all

Very close to Sandringham but not much else. Right next to a very noisy A road. We never met anyone from the site, as we did a self check in, as we arrived at 6pm and left at at 11am. Pitches were a good size.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments. We normally only have positive feedback in terms of the self check-in process, with customers explaining that they find it easy to follow and use. The office closes at approximately 3pm during this time of year due to not being as busy as peak season. Likewise with the busy road, also understand that it is busy and we have planted 100 conifers to reduce the noise when they are matured and we take the comments about this on board, as well as understanding that customers like the easy access to the site being a main road and not a B road with a caravan. There are several things to do near us in Norfolk, such as, Sandringham as mentioned, Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton which is 8 minutes away, the Snettisham beach, Norfolk lavender fields, Bircham windmill, Snettisham deer park and many more. If you stay with us again please feel free to email us and we will be more than happy to inform you of the local attractions. We are happy that you liked our facilities and pitch sizes. Thanks, Sarah - Pinecones CC.

September visit

The site/pitch was 'dirty' due to the sand. The last few weeks have been dry, making the ground hard and extremely sandy.

Site's response

It is accepted that the pitches have had a lot of use this summer, in what has been inclement weather, and will benefit from our annual end of session leveling fertilizing and re seeding, making them pristine for the start of next session. We do have grass fully serviced dura clean pitches on our Pineviews area of the site. These have dura clean pads for tents and awnings to go on that are small Granit stone so eliminating the inevitable wear on grass as the session progresses. We hope this covers your points made. Thank you, Martin.

Super clean perfect site

This is a great site. The private bathrooms are super clean and private. Plenty of room to take children in and lots of hooks. The staff were really friendly and advised great walks and made special efforts with the children. We will be back.

Brilliant site

We had a lovely visit here. Showers and the site are kept clean and tidy. We walked to the pub one night, which took about 20 mins. They also have a bike hire, which is good.

Great facilities

This is an excellent campsite. The owner has put a lot of thought into the facilities, making it an easy and enjoyable stay. The staff were fantastic, from booking through to helping on site. Check in was made easy due to great communication. We loved the fact our pitch had it's own water tap, as well as electric and a little wooden summer house with fairy lights and lots of space. We loved the willow woven fence too. Shower facilities were excellent and cleaned regularly. Also a great, convenient spot for visiting Sandringham or a music event at Sandringham, as we did.

Site's response

Thank you, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. There will be a lot more development work starting during the winter season when we are typically quiet. The staff put their heart and soul into trying to make sure that all our visitors have a great experience while with us, although we cannot please everyone. The newest addition this year is the deer/bird hide near the pods with binoculars included. We very much hope we will see you again in the future.

Fantastic campsite!!

We stayed here for 4 nights in August and absolutely LOVED it! We had such a lovely, friendly, warm welcome. The bathrooms are amazing! It’s quiet, peaceful, well kept and well equipped. It was just myself, my fiancé and our greyhound (his first holiday) and he loved it! Perfect location for beaches, seaside and Sandringham. We’ll be booking again for sure! Thank you so much!

Lovely site

Lovely site with nice size plots with service, well catered service and very helpful staff. Location is close to varied sites and things to do. Some road noise but didn't disturb us through the night. Staff were very helpful and amenities very nice. Would visit again.

Lovely stay at a lovely site

We very much enjoyed our two night stay in the tent. The site is well thought out with clean facilities. The welcome at reception was lovely and the staff friendly. We have a dog, for which the site was very accommodating. Well thought out facilities for the dogs, including an off lead area and special drinking area, and lovely walks just out of the site, towards the village and beach. Thank you, we hope to be back soon!
