What visitors say
Great facilities, but strict "quiet hours" ruined the vibe What we liked: The large pods are incredibly spacious with plenty of outdoor room to sit and chill only during the day. The park is conveniently located right off the A47, and there is a small, nice play area in the corner for kids. What we didn't like: The pods are located all the way at the end of the drive, past the main caravan park. Our biggest disappointment was how strictly the rules were enforced. At 10 PM, a lady on night patrol told us off just for sitting outside and talking. We were even told to keep our kids quiet because of nearby pods. To me, the whole purpose of camping and outdoor activities is for kids to have fun and for families to socialise outside. This strict policy wasn't clearly mentioned on Booking.com, and solely for this reason, we likely won't choose this location next time.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom pod for 2 nights. Lovely park and lovely pod. Shame there are no views as the park is surrounded by very high hedging. All the pods have a decking area which you can light up at night should you wish to and none of them directly face another so you have a sense of a bit of privacy. The pod itself was spotless and would be plenty big enough for 4 people although in this case there were just 2 of us. The owners of the site were present and couldn't be more helpful if they tried. For campers there are toilet and shower facilities and there's a nice little shop. We had a couple of tips for the owner of the pod but we would most definitely stay there again.

Lovely campsite with an excellent shop and facilities. Nice and quiet, especially in the evening with their NO noise after 10pm. Only downside is that buses don't run on Sundays or Bank Holidays, which is when we are here which is why I gave it 4 stars. We rode our electric bikes into Kings Lynn, excellent on the cycle paths.

We recently stayed here in our touring caravan for a short break. Booking was easy and the prices very reasonable. The reception staff were super friendly and helpful. The facilities were great and clean. The location is good with lots to do and see locally.
