The site is good but they have an event hall which is hired out for party's. The Saturday night we where on the site the party finished at 1.15 with the bar emptying bottles into the bin with no respect for the caravan site.

People outside all evening shouting and the site used as a car park.

The next day i raised it with the office and they said sorry and would refund me a nights camp. But still have not heard anything.

They did say they have no control over party's....Read less.

Friendly staff, good location, great bus service, pleasant walk into town, good spacings, present views, all good.

One suggestion, pitch 34 & 35 don't appear to get TV reception. Not an issue for me as we have a stand alone satellite dish, but worth considering a TV booster point for this run of pitches.

They were two cable female type connectors on the power post, but not sure what these do, and they wont fit a standard male tv connectors....Read less.

We booked in very last minute, having changed sites, originally just for one night. Vicki and the guys were so helpful. They even managed to squeeze us in for the following night, which was really busy as it was the new year and they had a race meeting on as well. We decided to stay the rest of the time there as well, again, no problem.

The pitch (hardstanding 8m+) was massive compared to some we have experienced elsewhere, giving a good distance to your neighbour. The facilities were clean, warm and all worked well. Very peaceful and only 15mins walk to Fakenham centre. Overall, good value for money and excellent service from the team there....Read less.

We have stayed here several times before as open all year and a good winter retreat. You need to ensure there is no racing when you book, as you have to move to another area if there is. A pleasant walk into town using a short cut through the wood, but can be muddy. Market day on Thursday with an auction as well. The facilities are always clean and tidy and there is a motorhome point for grey waste and fresh fill. Quick and easy to book and pay online....Read less.

Stayed at Fakenham Racecourse in a campervan at the end on November. The washrooms were warm and the showers were hot enough. The meals at the Gallow club were good, filling and reasonably priced.

We were parked in front of the main stand so had a good view but the van was full of tiny stones by the time we left.

The drive over waste was very tight to a wall and the opening to the drain was only about 20cm diameter.

The general layout looked good but due to the weather we didn't really investigate further than necessary....Read less.

We have stayed at Fakenham racecourse on many occasions. Fakenham is a convenient base for us as we are keen bird watchers. We can reach anywhere along the north Norfolk coast within half an hour or so. The site is beautifully managed and we were very impressed with how clean the toilet and shower block is kept, my partner Fran actually commented to the staff at the reception how impressed she was. We have recommended this site in the past and will continue to do so. The staff are always extremely helpful.

At this time of year, after a summer of touring different regions for weeks on end in our campervan, we sought a short stay place with EHU (normally sufficient on our solar power), close to a town centre. This site offered easy access to both the centre and riverside.

Campsites offer more facilities than we need usually, so when on site it’s shower/toilet facilities that are most attractive. Sadly at Fakenham Racecourse they close for cleaning at the most popular time 8-10am, causing us to delay our outing till much later than preferred. Surely cleaning is best done after busiest time at 10am?

Sunshine in October is much appreciated so the hard standing plots were in the shade of the high hedge, so we moved to 52 from 58 in the dark corner....Read less.

On site showers, toilets and washing-up are clean and easy to access. The site is within walking distance of Fakenham where there are a variety of shops and pubs (including Wetherspoons). From the site there plenty of cycle rides around country lanes and many interesting villages, churches, historic sites and wild life. Holkham Hall and Wells-next-the Sea are not too far to cycle. In the surrounding area there are farm shops selling local products including a variety of locally made cheese. There is at least one local brewer of beer and a number of shops selling wonder ales. A very relaxing site but for those who enjoy food, drink and the outdoors a great place....Read less.

This is now the second time we have spent a weekend at Fakenham Racecourse Campsite, and just like last year enjoyed it very much.

The town of Fakenham, although not what might be described as "buzzing" was only a 10/15 minute walk along the river and had everything we needed.

If I had a small criticism it is that I would personally like to see more leaflets/information regarding those eateries that would deliver to the gate area.

The facilities are well placed, warm, and very clean making them perfect....Read less.

We decided to go to Fakenham racecourse campsite as the location was good for visiting family but unfortunately we were given a pitch next to a very disruptive family! Who had already threatened the manager. After being woken at 6am with very loud shouting we felt very nervous and asked to move pitch. Also toilets and showers were not fit to use as floors were flooded by same family also walking in to a couple having sex in ladies toilets is not wot you won’t when having a break away!! We did move pitches but couldn’t put our awning up as the caravan next to us were half on our pitch! We decided to leave two nights early as security were put on site entrance in fear of traveler’s coming on to site. The staff were ok and explained that they have to let gypsies on site but pitching us next to them to us was not acceptable essentially as the site was very empty. So we will not be returning....Read less.

The location for us was ideal to explore the local area ,and lovely coastline

The only thing we were disappointed with was that our pitch was in the middle of the camping field on our own , but after speaking to the lovely staff the morning we left , they pointed out that we could have requested a side pitch , which we will do next time

Such a great site , we will try and camp when there are race meetings...Read less.

Super spot close to town with good facilities. No shop on site but an easy walk to town.

We stay regularly at fakenham race course campsite.

Always get great service.

Facilities are clean and are of excellent quality.

Golf course is challenging if a bit on the pricy side for 9 holes.

Camping plots are generous and all near to water and electricity.

My only -ve this trip was when I wanted a pint of milk for a morning cup of tea. I was informed that none was for sale.

I think a bottle of milk should be available as s bare minimum in a campsite shop.

Otherwise we all really enjoyed our stay and will be back soon....Read less.

Our initial feelings and appearance of this site were very good the staff were friendly the pitches were of a good size and the shower facilities were good. Things for us changed a) when two caravans arrived with travellers. The owner of the site confirmed to us that he could not discriminate and he said they were polite and were in fakenham for a Roman Catholic service. He assured us that he had warned them that they were the only two caravans allowed. However the next morning we not only had to put up with the males urinating outside their caravan but also the children defecting outside when there was a perfectly good set of showers and toilets. and b) were given notice that a private function was happening on the Saturday night which was fine but the state of both sets of toilets the next day was not and it was unpleasant having to use the facilities in the condition they were when you are paying to use them. For me the cleaners should have been in early in the morning....Read less.

Sadly not a particularly inviting site . I was concerned there was no barrier or evidence of security . There was no hot showers for three of the days I was there. The showers and toilets were left in a disgusting state one day. A group were shouting and playing music late into the night. We were disturbed at four in the morning by crows in the trees. I called in to reception to buy some milk from the shop to be told there wasn’t a shop anymore because of Covid. It was a useful base but I wouldn’t come again....Read less.

Large pitches well spaced. Friendly and helpful staff. Site is well signed and the access is great. There is a public footpath from the entrance road which takes you into Fakenham, about 10 to 15 minutes max. Fakenham is a lovely town with friendly people. Market day is Thursday and well worth a visit. If you like chocolate then you must visit the chocolate outlet shop in which they sell so called seconds. It's in the small parade of shops in the town. Plenty of buses for all different directions. Plenty of places to eat and there are two large supermarkets Facilities are good and kept very clean. There is also a restaurant at the racecourse ( Gallows) which is next to the sports complex. We can't fault this site in any way. Can't wait to go again....Read less.

Fakenham is approximately ten miles from the coast and makes it an excellent base to explore North Norfolk. It’s fun to stay for a race meeting. The site is well kept and the pitches are large. I have been staying there in both my campervan and caravan for many years and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s very quiet although I would suggest if anyone hadn’t stayed before they might suggest a pitch away from the rooks! To be open all year is also a plus but hard standing only in winter....Read less.
