A spacious site on the edge of Fakenham with many amenities within walking distance - pubs, restaurant, shops etc. Staff are always friendly and willing to help. Good value for money too. A good base for the fantastic coastline Burnhams to Blakeney and several stately homes.

If we have one slight reservation it's that the Racecourse site is also used to host indoor events - eg school proms, parties etc. On our most recent stay there was both a wedding reception going on till midnight and a separate party till 1 am. It's a big site and in general these aren't too much of a bother, but if you're a particularly light sleeper you might want to check what's on....Read less.

Stayed here with my wife and her sister, my sister-in-law had not been to North Norfolk so I picked this as a central location for visits to Cromer, Sherringham, Wells, Burnham etc., all of which are 20 mins or so drive away. The facillities were alwatys clean, no shortage of hot water, and I also liked the showers being adjustable by the user as opposed to the more common pre set temperature units at most locations.

The pitches I looked at were all a good size, the hard standing we had was huge, I can think of several sites that would have had 2 or even 3 units in the same area, plenty of places to eat/drink in Fakenham and although we never had the opertunity to try it the Golf Club Bar adjacent the site welcomes all visitors, all in all a good location....Read less.

Spent 4 nights there last week and was delighted with this site.

Congratulations to the racecourse for utilising the empty spaces on the course so well

We were on a hard standing pitch (61) with EHU and had water right next to us.

The toilets were very clean and had the best showers I've encountered in over 30 years camping, great pressure, always great hot water and a turn on rather than push button, and most importantly included in the price.

Fakenham itself is an easy 10 min walk away to pubs and shops, but there is also a very good sports club at the site entrance which allows campers to use the bar facilities.

Great site which we will defo use again...Read less.

The site is well placed for visiting North Norfolk. Fakenham is a pleasant and interesting small town in easy walking distance.

The site is well maintained attractive and spacious. The facilities are good and regularly cleaned.

There are two areas for caravans/motorhomes and a separate area for tents. Pitches are generous and well spaced. Some pitches may require the use of levelling blocks but such slopes as there are on the site are gentle.

Overall a very pleasant and peaceful site, enjoyable and well run....Read less.

Our highlight this trip was a visit to Langham Glass and the Fakenham Museum of Gas ( the only surviving town gasworks in England and Wales). Both within an easy walk of the site....Read less.

Situated inland, but ideal for getting to numerous attractions. We visited Sheringham, Cromer and Thursford over the weekend we stayed. Only suggestion I'd have is; we booked a hard standing pitch, which we assumed would be like other hard standing pitches ( with grass for the awning)... The hard standing pitches at Fakenham have no grass at all, they are completely concrete, therefore we asked to move to a different pitch to enable us to secure our awning pegs. Staff were very accommodating on this and luckily had a pitch available, so perhaps make that a little more definite on the website when people book. Sign posts and explanations could be clearer ( we never knew if the restaurant would be open for food or was it just on race days) so this is another ' nit pick ' but nothing major. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend a visit to Thursford museum....we heard the Wurlitzer!!! Perfect Sunday afternoon 😁...Read less.

At first we were a touch apprehensive about staying at this Site as we’d never been before & the fact that it was a Horse Racing Course, left us not knowing exactly what to expect. Initial fears were soon erased once we arrived as from the get go everything looked & felt great. Everything was clearly marked with uniform signage, from the reception office through to the washing up rooms, toilet & shower facilities and drinking water taps. The whole site was immaculately clean & tidy & the standard of the facilities was impeccable. The staff were so courteous, polite & welcoming - helpful beyond expectations & extremely friendly. Having already stayed at another site for 3 nights we’d originally booked on this site for a further 7 nights before travelling on to another once decided where it was to be. However, after the first 2 or 3 nights we’d decided that we should book the remaining 4 nights of our holiday on there such was the high standard which we managed to do.

We stayed for 2 weeks and what a beautiful site this is. The staff were absolutely great-very friendly and so helpful. The lady who took our booking originally was extremely friendly and even e mailed me a site plan so we could decide if we wanted a grass or hard standing pitch. The pitches were huge and the grounds were so well cared for. The position of the site was perfect with just a 10 minute walk into Fakenham and the same distance to a great local pub -The Bell in Hempton which was a proper pub with no food just lots of locals and really friendly landlady and landlord. Fakenham Garden Centre was also a 10 minute walk and served great coffee and an excellent breakfast. Lots to see out and about in this area, we had a great 2 weeks.

There is a sports complex at the entrance to the site, with a golf course, tennis courts etc, plus a nice bar!

The site is centrally located within North Norfolk, with lots to see and do in the area. Norwich, Sheringham, Cromer and Hunstanton are all within reasonable distance, and The North Norfolk Steam Railway, and the Bure Valley Railway are not too far away, as are the Norfolk Broads....Read less.

A lovely spacious site with very clean facilities block. EHU included, water points around the site and excellent recycling facilities. The lady in reception was very friendly and helpful. There only appeared to be one chemical disposal point and no drive over grey water disposal which we need. Plenty of wildlife around and nice walk into the town. The sports bar was open which was a bonus but no meals when we were there....Read less.

We're in a camper and with the tickets included in the pitch it is great value if you enjoy racing.Moving on the day of the racing is not a problem.The reception staff are very efficient and the course staff/facilities have been upgraded from our first visit. The Gallows bar restaurant were very hospitable as well. One can also play a round of golf but not on racedays

My trip to Fakenham started with a lovely relaxing drive, on arrival I was informed that the hardstand I had booked had been given to a group booking and I was given a grass site with thick rubber runners to stop me sinking into the ground, not a good start. The facilities, showers and toilets were excellent.and access to water and waste removal were good. The site was very clean and well maintained.Also access to the sports club was a real plus due to the terrible weather i had for most of my stay. This was my fist visit to Fakenham and i was pleased to say I enjoyed walking around the town.I didn't have much contact with staff but those i did speak to were friendly and informative. One other problem i had was the television aerial booster worked for three hours on the fist day and never again, this didn't cause much of a problem as had other things to do....Read less.

First trip to Fakenham. Not disappointed. Despite inclement weather the hard standing pitch was great. All facilities excellent. Showers within the main building pristine.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Booking and pitching were easy and we liked our quirky location right next to the stands and jumps. Staff were all really friendly and facilities were very clean. The dog walk looked great although we didn’t use it. There is so much to do in the area and we would definitely return.

Our only minor gripe were the times that the toilet and shower block is cleaned. 8am til 10 am I’d just when people want to get ready for the day. The cleaners were super nice but it was a pain.
