The salt tang of the North Norfolk coast hangs in the air here, and on clear mornings you can hear gulls wheeling over the cliffs that made East Runton famous among fossil hunters.

This is a straightforward caravan and campervan site tucked into a village that sits between Cromer and Sheringham — proper bucket-and-spade territory, with the beach a short walk downhill. It suits tourers who want a coastal base without the full-on holiday park treatment, and couples or families happy with a quieter pitch among the pines and gorse that fringe this stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a quick call if you're bringing yours.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's one to ring ahead about — confirm what's onsite and whether campfires are allowed before you arrive. The vibe feels low-key and traditional, the sort of place where you park up, brew a pot of tea, and plan beach walks or fossil hunts rather than entertainment rotas. A solid, no-fuss overnight or weekend stop on the north Norfolk coast.
