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. Cromer Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier is home to the famous Cromer Pier Show the last ‘End-of-the-Pier’ variety show in the world. The area has plenty to offer the sports enthusiast, golf, horse riding, swimming, wind-surfing, fishing, cycling and tennis can all be enjoyed within easy reach to Stiffkey.

What Our Customers Say

Easy check in process and simple to find our allocated pitch. 10 minute drive and you are in Wells or 3.5 mile walk along the coastal path. Lovely footpath directly on to the salt marshes too which is lovely to watch the sunset at. Facilities are kept clean throughout the days and there was never a point where we had to wait for a shower. always really warm water and good pressure in the showers too.

Top Campsite

Quiet, family oriented, pleasant and friendly campsite, next to the salt marshes. If you want all mod cons eg swimming pool and bar, then go elsewhere. This popular campsite has all you need for a pleasant N. Norfolk camp.

Most pitches need grass seeding to cover several holes

Kitchen, toilet and showers are first class cleaning. Regularly

Grass need sowing to grow the big holes

I like two separate freezers one for ice cubes for drinking other side frozen food.

One night stop

We were on a cycling tour of Norfolk and stopped at High Sand Creek for one night, it was a lovely site with access down to the marshes with beautiful views out to sea. Good facilities and close to nearby pubs.

Beautiful site!

Me and my partner have been here a number of times, we now take out 2 young children too and have always taken the dogs! The site is easily accessible, and within walking distance to the local pub the red lion. Where the food is delicious, a smidge pricy but understandable given the seasonal location, but worth it. They were really good with the kids too.

High sands creek is great, there was always a nice lady taking care of the facilities, which remain in good order even with people comming off the marsh.

There is a wash down area to have a hose down before entering the main washing facilities where dogs can also be washed, the only improvements I can see could be dog tie up loops by the hose down area so dogs can be safe while washing kids down, or some sort of dog sink to put the dog in to make washing easier!

You cannot put a price on the sunsets you get over the marsh, and the fun you have negotiating the marsh to get to the sandy bit at low tide.

A brilliant site for family'

Salt marsh fun

We camped in the non electric area and although the pitches are in lines they are spacious. Nowhere seemed far from drinking water or the facilities. The showeres and toilets have concrete floors and not heated but they were clean whenever we used them.

The freezer for ice blocks was essential and accessible when the washing up area was open.

What makes this site unique is being next to the salt marsh whether to walk the paths at low tide or at high tide swimming, canoeing or paddling and lying back and enjoying the lazy river as the tide turns.

It's all about the view

Great site with a Fantastic view we had a lovely 3 nights stay, bus stop just outside the campsite just a short walk however, we walked the coastal path in to Wells and back about 3.5 miles each way but totally worth it. Walking beside all the flood plains just fantastically refreshing. We walk quite quickly but it was just over the hour each way.

Lovely views but very windy!

This was only our second trip in our motorhome so wasn’t sure what to expect. The office explained where everything was and gave us a map - it was a friendly welcome and easy to find our pitch.

Facilities were good and everything was clean. People were friendly and dogs generally well behaved.

We left a day early due to the very high winds but had 3 lovely days exploring the village and the coastal path.

Sit and watch the birds.

Lovely campsite. Sit and watch the birds out on the salt marsh, and then go for a muddy walk with binoculars. We didn't touch the car all week, as you can walk to the village store, village pub (15min) and even the next town (3miles). Absolute bliss. See you again soon. Thank you.

Old school done right

Great spot and welcoming staff, facilities were very good and kept immaculate throughout the stay. Walks to the Beach and nearby Wells were lovely. Limited electrical hookups and facilities if full, however during our stay the site wasn’t overly busy so we had a great time. The village has a great restaurant/pub serving very good food and a local shop/coffee shop selling enough for your needs, or there is Wells which is about 10 mins away for everything else.

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!
