Escape to our traditional campsite at Stiffkey in North Norfolk,

Immerse yourself in the stunning views of the sea and salt marshes, surrounded by the tranquility of nature.

At High Sand Creek Campsite, we offer a unique camping experience like no other. With our prime location you can enjoy the beauty of nature and explore the coastal path along the North Norfolk coastline.

The campsite itself borders the coastal salt marsh and sandy beach. Ideal for paddle boarding and wild swimming in the creeks and a safe sandy beach with creeks to splash/paddle and swim for little ones.

Stiffkey village hosts a local store, the Red Lion Pub, a childrens’ playground and playing field, all within walking distance of the campsite.

Much of the North Norfolk coast is designated as an area of outstanding beauty, and Stiffkey is uniquely placed in such an area.

The coastal marsh is a haven for wildlife and attracts a rich variety of migrating birds as well as being home to any number of indigenous species.

There are a wealth of footpaths and long distance trails in North Norfolk. The Norfolk Coastal Path passes through Stiffkey from Hunstanton on its way to Cromer making our campsite an ideal stop for walkers.

North Norfolk has much to offer the holiday visitor, its natural beauty is complimented by the pretty flint built villages and interesting market towns. An ideal place for the family holidays there is plenty to see and do. Visit the small fishing port of Wells-next-the-Sea or take a ride on the Wells to Walsingham narrow 101/4 gauge steam railway the longest of its type in the world. Walsingham is a beautifully preserved medieval town with a fascinating history, most famous for its many religious shrines and priory.

The popular seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer are an easy 20 minute drive or Coast Hopper bus ride along the coast with a host of visitor attractions along the way including the Muckleburgh Military Collection at Weybourne, The North Norfolk steam Railway at Sheringham and the Norfolk Shirehorse Centre at West Runton.

Review

This is the 3rd time we've stayed at High Sand Creek and it is without a doubt our favourite campsite in the UK. The location is perfect - right on the saltmarshes with beautiful walks to Wells-next-the-Sea, Morston and beyond. The campsite is situated in the stunning village of Stiffkey which has a fantastic pub just a 5 minute walk away. The facilities on the campsite are great. Whilst the bathrooms aren't particular modern, they're always spotlessly clean and the showers are the best we've experienced. The pitches are spacious and the site itself is so quiet and peaceful, it's the perfect place to relax. We can't wait to come back!

Liked: The check-in was very easy, helpful and friendly and I felt perfectly welcome as a solo female camper. The facilities were large and clean. I really liked the location right on the Norfolk Coastal Path - very easy to walk to Wells and back, and also to the village centre in the evening for a pint at the Red Lion pub.
