Lovely peaceful campsite in a stunning setting.

Facilities are simple but everything you need, super clean with clear instructions to help keep them COVID safe.

We definitely plan to come back here.

This is a wonderful little campsite in a fantastic location, lovely and quiet!

There is only one toilet/shower room for a max of 12 people, at the moment they rely on everyone who uses it to wipe everything down once they’ve been in (as well as regular cleaning).

I loved this site. It is a magical, peaceful place - just being there makes you relax. It is simply a field, with a simple loo & shower (nice, clean, sensible covid measures) and a water tap. It is just for tents.

Numbers of campers limited to be covid-safe but I'm guessing that most visitors would be like those who were there when I was: families wanting a quiet proper outdoor experience.

The owner was very helpful and thoughtful and took time to come and talk to campers to check things were ok.

The location is amazing - just outside Morston village (easy walk to pub although I didn't have time to visit it), very near Morston Quay (where you can get boat trips to see seals etc) and about half an hour's walk into Blakeney (nearest shop, nice quayside, chi-chi bakery & shops, pubs etc)

I only stayed one night as I was walking part of the Norfolk Coast Path but I really wished I could stay longer. I definitely want to go back!

Thank You

Just wanted to say thank you for letting us camp with you and to say what a fantastic time we had. With Covid, I didn’t think we would get away this year!! You made us all feel very safe. You live in a wonderful part of the country and we had lots to do and see. Best wishes, The “Hoppies”

p.s. Kitty loved the swing.

Fabulous little campsite, quiet, wild camping with a tap, toilet and a shower. Just as I like it.

Well set up for COVID-19, lots of space.

Pub walkable.

Dark skies for stars.

Smashing little campsite

Love itDon’t love itNot greatGoodGreatLove itRate Us

If you like getting away from the crowds and listening to the sounds of the wildlife then this friendly place is perfect. Plenty of space for little ones to run around (canine or human). It's all in one open field, so bring some shade if you need it. As well as a fire pit and a large BBQ, there's a tap with drinking water in the field and a picnic bench for each tent (there were four tents when we were there and it was full). The shower / toilet room is very clean. Hosts Roberta and Ned were very helpful. Bring some insect repellent if you go in summer as there were a few horse flies. Georgia, Lenny (8) and Olive (6)

Perfect quite spot

Love itDon’t love itNot greatGoodGreatLove itRate Us

Myself and partner stayed on site for one night in early June. We regularly visit the coast but rarely stay over. But that's all in the past! We loved our stay and plan to come back many times in the future (not least because we got engaged just 100m down the coastal path!). The site is quiet and small (although plenty of space for the max. 6 tents). The shower and toilet facilities are basic but clean and the shower is hot. The location is it's selling feature; Mortson is a wonderfully quiet part of the coast to enjoy. The local pub serves very good food and drinks. And the location is close enough to Blakeney if you'd prefer other places to try. Thanks to Roberta for looking after us!

Lovely quiet site

Love itDon’t love itNot greatGoodGreatLove itRate Us

I was the only camper, so it felt like wild camping with a toilet and shower. Lovely welcome and perfect location, just off the coast path and 10 mins from pub. Will be back.

Small, noncommercial, on the coast

We absolutely loved our stay here over a weekend in May, wandering around Morston Quay out to the marshes early in the morning was magical and walks along the coastal path in both directions were fabulous Best campsite for us, a fairly quiet couple travelling without children.

Opportunity to be at one with nature and recharge

Love itDon’t love itNot greatGoodGreatLove itRate Us

The site was a perfect retreat for me, first time camping solo for a while, I was made to feel welcome, safe and relaxed by friendly proprietors. Clean, efficiently managed and limited (re number of other pitches) my long weekend at Scaldbeck, provided me with opportunity to walk for miles, absorb the colours and sounds of the beautiful saltmarshes, wide open skies/horizons; socialise (if I chose to) or just chill out and decompress (yoga, sketch, live off local fresh produce, samphire/eggs/cheeses etc). Other fellow campers were interesting, kind and respectful - facilities, clean and basic, are all one needs. I’d recommend taking citronella sticks if you sit out late evenings; a mallet does come in handy as due to lack of rainfall, the ground was hard (although grass/pitch fine and level). A creative chef/birdwatcher/artists paradise - and great place to unwind. Fab.

I stayed in the cottage for a night whilst running the Norfolk Coastal path. The owners are genuinely friendly, helpful and local people. The stay was very comfortable and the quality of food and ambience of the Anchor Inn at Morston very welcome.
