Pinecones Caravan and Camping Reviews

Great site, would certainly return

Overall, a great campsite. Clean and tidy site and facilities. Private loos/showers nice. Can have a raised BBQ, and great play park for children. Close to the road so could hear traffic at night, but that is not uncommon and didn't spoil the break.

Thank you for your great review, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are in the process of planting 100 quick growing conifer trees, which we hope will in time help with the road noise. We do hope you will stay with us again in the future.

Fantastic family stay

Myself and my husband stayed with our two daughters (aged 8 and 4) in a pod. We were really impressed with the campsite. The first thing that struck me was how clean it was - which is important when using communal showers and toilets! They were warm, clean and a pleasure to use. The pods had everything we needed - a kettle, toaster and mini oven with hob. It was a great base. The kids especially loved the park. We also had a lovely walk to Sandringham where there was a huge playground. All in all a lovely stay and made our Easter a memorable one. We will be back!

Lovely campsite with very friendly staff

We have had a lovely weekend at Pincones. The only letdown was the weather and some traffic noise. A lovely site with good, clean facilities.

Thank you for your review! We love hearing about what you thought of our little gem and we look forward to seeing you again very soon.

2 night stay in March

Great little campsite, easy to find, very tidy and all the staff I encountered were very helpful and pleasant. Showers and toilets were spotlessly clean and hot water was very hot. Would 100% recommend this place, great little base to explore the surrounding area.

Lovely welcoming site

The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They provided maps with very helpful directions for various walks - we did Sandringham house and the beach walk, which was lovely but very long. The toilet/shower facilities were wonderful (nice and hot) and also are individual so you have complete privacy. A nice touch is the piped local radio station into the showers with light up shower head. We had a pitch with heated picnic hut, £2.50 gets you about 3 hours heat, very good value. The heated dog shower was also a nice touch, Norman our dog loved it. Just one minor issue was the road noise but after the 1st night, we hardly noticed it.

Thank you for your review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. Glad that Norman loved our little doggy shower. We very much look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Excellent, well located site

Pinecones is one of the best sites we've stayed at! The toilet / showers are fabulous! They are spacious, warm and very clean, with the added bonus of music via the radio. Well kept grounds, loved the water features dotted around the site and the fairy lights. Well located for walking and trips to the coastline. We didn't venture to the pubs as just a bit too far for us to walk in the dark but we did have Chinese takeaway delivered one evening. Would definitely use again when visiting the area.. Thank you.

First weekend of March stopover

Good location for our weekend visit - quiet (early March) and easy to walk to town etc. Easy to get to main beaches. Great shower blocks and good size pitches. Would go back.

Fabulous

We loved it here. It only didn't get a 100% rating because of the proximity to the road which is out of their control, but they have done everything in their power to minimise the impact of this, with constructed high banks etc. It wasn't bad, barely worth a mention, to stop us from coming back, or stop us enjoying cooking in the heated hut, or enjoying the amazing walks from the site. The friendly office staff provided laminated comprehensive guides to 4 walks. I took the long walk to the nature reserve and saw a lot of wildlife on the way. I was thrilled to see and hear larks (no road noise here!). The shower facilities were modern, clean and warm and private. Loo, shower and basin all together, very nice. I am very particular about drinking water and was thrilled to learn that their water is from a spring. The dog shower provided even had hot water! This is up there as one of our favourite sites. We had our own tap and drain too.

Close to many local attractions

Bit of road noise. The tumble dryer didn't work well, so try and use the towel rails in the shower rooms. Everyone was really lovely on site, will be going back.

A lovely stay

Lovely site and good walks. Only downside is the proximity of the main road.

Site's response

Thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you for more holidays.

Relaxing and quiet

We had lovely 2 days at Pinecones Caravan and Camping site. The facilities were lovely and clean. The campsite itself is off the A149 so is very easy to find. Plenty of space between pitches. Found the staff very helpful. Would definitely go back. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We look forward to seeing you in the future for some more amazing stays with us! Thank you.

Lovely site

Lovely site. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely return.

Thank you for your great review, Lynn. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Lovely

We had 1 night. Friendly welcome with self-service check-in. Fully serviced pitch with level hard standing. Toilet/showers spotless. Great location, easy reach to beaches and Sandringham etc. The site is next to the by-pass, so traffic noise can be heard when outside or with doors/window open, but we slept soundly, and it didn't bother us. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be returning. 👍

Thank you for your review, we are really thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Take care.

Great campsite

Stayed by accident thinking it was near Sheringham but it didn't matter too much. Park and facilities were spotless, I think one of the best we've stayed at. It was excellent value for money, plus the showers were heated. Would highly recommend.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that we were a very enjoyable accident and that you liked our facilities. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Recommended

Showers are fantastic, clean, warm and private. The area was nice and quiet, apart from road noise, but it wasn't so bad it kept you awake. Close to King's Lynn and beaches and other places to visit. Staff are very friendly. Would like to see a better play area for the kids and a bigger shop so if you were to stay on site, you would not have to go out for food. I would recommend to anyone.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. We do not have a wide variety of stock in the shop as there is a co op which is only 10 minute's walk from site. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Lovely location with great facilities

The site was lovely and the picnic bench a great addition. Individual shower/toilet cubicles were wonderful, warm and piped radio to sing along to. We are an unusual 'rig' as a continental demountable but staff were very helpful when we didn't fit the standard way of pitching, moved us to an RV pitch to give us more space to set up what is normally the wrong way round. The only negative was that although the onsite takeaway should have been open Friday, it remained closed. Overall, I would recommend and stay there again and perhaps try one of the heated huts.

Lovely cosy stay

We had a lovely stay in the pod, it's nice and warm in the evening. It's quite basic but did the job and had everything we needed. The shower and toilets are very clean. We went on a couple of walks from the pod and got to the sea and looked out over the nature reserve, so beautiful.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in our pod.

Snettisham high tide was spectacular

My only minor criticism is that the floors of the shower changing areas were uneven and there was no edge to the shower trays to prevent the floors from getting very wet. As I said a very minor grouse. I would willingly recommend this site.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we look forward to welcoming you back.

Nice site good surroundings

This is a nice well managed site. Facilities are good, especially the individual shower blocks. Loads of local walking options and well placed for all that west Norfolk has to offer, especially the beaches and Sandringham. Just a shame about the road noise.

Thank you so much for your review! We are glad you had a great stay!

Such a lovely camp site

One the best campsites I’ve stayed at. The shower and toilet facilities are great. Lovely spacious pitches and the campsite is in a great location.

Site's response

Thank you so much for this positive feedback. We hope to see you in the future.

Not impressed

On arrival staff were friendly, pitch was too small and the showers were either cold or too hot. Were woken early by dogs barking or noisy children. Also, I felt that one member of staff was very rude for no reason.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. We did have a boiler problem, which was sorted once we were informed of the problem, we also apologise that you felt a member of staff was rude, this is not the response that we like to receive, we usually pride ourselves in our attitude towards our visitors. We do hope that you will consider giving us another try in the future.

Incredible

Probably the best campsite I've stayed at. Check in is very well organised after reception hours, I also got some fish and chips from the shop and the staff were so lovely. The spot I was allocated was spacious. The showers were probably the best part! Very clean and you get an entire bathroom to yourself, not just a cubicle (I've never had that at a campsite before). The shower even had a radio and flashing lights in the shower head, which was really warm and powerful. There are bikes you can hire too. There is a play park for children and lots of benches to sit and have a picnic. The only downside I could think of is that you can hear the cars on the main road off the campsite, which doesn't make it feel as secluded as you'd expect for a campsite. But it was very much worth every penny, thank you!

Thank you for your review, we are absolutely thrilled that you all enjoyed your time with us, and also enjoyed the food. We very much hope to see you again in the near future. Thanks Pinecones Team

A wonderful mini break

What can we say, Pinecones superseded our expectations. We stayed in one of their oak pods as a family of 5 (one baby). It was an absolutely perfect base for a weekend of exploring Norfolk. Clean and had all the essential basics we were not expecting. The site was clean and in a great location. The showers were a real treat for a campsite. They were really clean, spacious and the added feature of music was fantastic. We would definitely recommend the park to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Thank you so much for the review!! We are over the moon that you enjoyed your mini break with us and look forward to seeing you in the future. Thanks Pinecones CC

Pinecones weekend

Last minute weekend away booked the day before. It was so easy to book. Didn't leave until after work on a Friday, and when turning up we carried out the self check in with no problems. We pitched out on the electric grass/sand pitch with just electric, and it was fantastic for the value- can't fault it. Clean showers and toilets. And the food onsite was nice too. Definitely recommend.
