Pinecones Caravan and Camping Reviews

Excellent campsite- so well run!

We stayed Pinecones for a week camping in a large pitch with electric hook up. The pitch was perfect, large and flat. The electric hook up very easily accessible. When we arrived and checked, in the staff were so friendly and so informative. Easy to understand map, free WiFi and laminated sheets for you to explore walks in the local area and QR codes for you to scan to get it on your phone. Great little shop on site for all necessities including electric hook up if you'd forgotten your own, gas canisters for the burners, food, ice cream, cereal, you name it! All at a very reasonable price. The toilets were central to the campsite where the tents and caravans are and another block is situated by the statics and pods. Both blocks were cleaned at least twice a day, always clean. There was a slight drain smell occasionally but understandable with the amount of people using them. Music on in the toilet blocks which I thought was great! The site is so well run, staff always on hand to help. They had a rule of quiet outside from 8pm and everyone in your tents/caravans being quiet from 11pm. This was monitored strictly with staff on patrol. I thought this was great. Meant we never had any loud people outside after 11pm. We have a 3yr old so it worked well for us. Such a nice chilled atmosphere. Loved it and would definitely recommend.

Thank you for your review, we are thrilled that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us. We do our best to monitor the noise level on site especially this time of year when the site is full of children, as they need their sleep to be able to continue to enjoy their holiday. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the use of our facilities. We very much hope to see you again in the future. Sharon - Pinecones

Great site

Great site on the edge of Dersingham, which has a great frequent bus service around the area. Many walks straight from the site, some which have been printed out available from reception or via QR codes. At the back of the site is a conservation area over which the sun sets. Simply stunning on a sunny evening.

Brilliant

Really enjoyed our stay. The site is busy, but still feels nice.The facilities are as good as any site we have stayed on. Playground was great for our two. The position allowed access to most places, but did feel a little out of any village etc.

Nice, friendly campsite

Friendly staff when we arrived, gave us a detailed information sheet and print outs of local walks. Toilet and showers facilities were clean and modern. My little girl enjoyed our toilet disco's (music playing). Good size plots and we were right at the back away from the road. The only downside is the noise. The kids enjoyed the park and it was safe for them to cycle around. We went from the campsite for a bike ride to Snettisham Beach, all off road, just under 8 miles. Stopped off at the sailing club for refreshment. Our favourite place was old Hunstanton beach, dog friendly and clean. Take cash for parking or get parking operations app before as I could had trouble downloading it. Good place for a base and would go back.

Nice campsite, good location

Nice location, short drive to most places and some good walks out of the campsite, couple of pubs & co-op only 15 mins way on foot. Facilities in good condition and maintained well. It was quite busy over the course of the weekend, but you never felt squashed in despite how close a lot of the pitches are. You get quite a lot of space within your own pitch area. Really good food available and the toilet/shower blocks are good with a separate area for washing up and laundry etc.

Liked it so much I went back 2 more times the same week!

Our stay was lovely. Excellent service and amenities. Easy to get to. Excellent access. Lovely country walks. Bathrooms and showers were excellent, clean and warm. Showers with hot and cold water. Wi-fi worked O.K. The camping spot was spacious with a picnic table. Hook up good. Very reasonable price. Will return again and again!

Very loud road noise

Very disappointed with the location with extremely loud road noise. Will not be returning.

Site's response

We are sorry that you found the nearby road noisy, we do have some road noise on site, and we are very open about it. Most people do not mind it, but some people do not like it.

Last minute beach break

Excellent site for families or couples - great location and value for money.

A gem of a campsite

Just back from a 3 night stay at Pinecones. Was greeted by a lovely helpful man giving us everything we would need for our stay, including a map & recommendation of a walk into Sandringham Visitor Centre which was easy to follow & a definite visit if you have children. The bathrooms were actually the best we have ever experienced on a campsite 10/10! Food available fri, sat & sun mornings on site and little shop which I wish had been open slightly more (only little thing). Would highly recommend & already have recommended to our friends, we will definitely be back.

We are glad that you enjoyed using our facilities. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Pinecones Team

Great, well run site

Great site, great location especially for walkers. Very good amenities within walking distance. More commercialised places like Hunstanton a short drive away. Definitely one for my shortlist!

Great site

A great site with central location to Heacham, Hunstanton and Sandringham. Staff were very accommodating and helpful, especially Martin. We enjoyed our 5 days at the site. One point to note, is that the site is located next to the A149 so traffic noise is evident, so if you don't want complete quiet it's great. Picnic huts are amazing.

Thank you for your review we are very pleased your stay and that the pic nic huts were amazing. We hope to see you again very soon. Martin

Quiet

Nice, clean and quiet. Shop hours were too short, and there were no gas cylinders in the shop either!

Great location

Pinecones is well located for exploring the West Norfolk area and attractions. Our grandchildren loved the play area and we were lucky that on a Sunday evening there were no other pitches taken in our row so it was very quiet. Walking around the site the traffic noise from the A149 is considerable but the banking raised behind the pitches reduces the noise greatly on your actual pitch. Recommended.

Great

Very friendly and welcoming.

Perfect in every way

Firstly we were blessed with brilliant weather and camped during the week so was super quiet. Site was ace, not hard to get to, close to lots of other amenities and nice locations. Clean, tidy and well presented site. Staff were great and so was the toilet/ shower rooms. Like having a 70's disco everytime we showered, cool lights and music. All for a great price and will defo be going back.

Good facilities

Everything was good about this campsite except the constant road noise, with the main road being next to the site.

Wonderful stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Pinecones! Lots of space for pitches in a beautiful location. The facilities were very clean and well kept, and there was helpful clear information on local walks and activities.

Nice break

We are likely to return to this site but would request a pitch away from the road which could be noisy during the day. We appreciate this is a dog friendly site but we felt that some dog owners need to exercise more control over their pets as we observed dogs being allowed to urinate on other campers' pitches while they were not there.

Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.

Wonderful

We had a fantastic time at Pine Cones. Martin was incredibly welcoming and friendly, the facilities were fantastic (disco shower!!) and son, and us by proxy, loved the play park. Would definitely recommend.

Great little campsite. The shop very limited though, but not an issue with supermarkets not far! Very clean throughout the whole site and plenty of bathrooms and showers. Staff and campers all very friendly and helpful.
