Camping on the Norfolk/Suffolk coast?

[rich p]

My son just rang me to ask if I knew of any smallish, nice sites as he'd decided to pop up there this weekend and discovered that many are full. A bit of a long shot but some of you knowledgeable folk may have some inside info.

The church field at Overstrand. £5 per person per night, free hot showers, small on site shop, charcoal BBQ's allowed. The campsite is located on the cliff tops with good access to the beach, and a 2 minute walk from the village centre and pub, etc. It's also an easy site to get to on a bike.

I would recommend the campsite search facility on "UK Campsite" Excellent site with reviews on most sites listed

I spent a miserable week staying in a caravan at Overstrand when I was a boy - still makes me shudder now.

Hopefully it's all fallen in the sea by now

the only advice I can give would be to cycle away as fast as possible and head for the hills!

Thanks guys. I'll pass that on.

Clearly still surviving and thriving according to Gareth, 3BM!

If you really enjoy peace- go for Burnham Thorpe. You can sit on the meadow next to the stream and watch barn owls hunt in the evenings. Then you can go to the Lord Nelson (he was born in the village) pub. Village slightly spoilt by ridiculously bright street lights but luckily there are none where the camp site is here...

To the west at Burnham deepdale is an award winning site. It's near the marhses so good for birding/ star gazing.

Both are around a 1.5 - 2 hour ride from King's Lynn station

Fingers crossed you get some decent weather.

There's a small basic cheap campsite at Stiffkey. Any nearer the sea and you'd be in it. Lots of birds nearby to admire.

I'd second the recommendation of Burnham Deepdale. It may be one of the ones that's fully booked though as I think it's quite popular.
