We stayed here in January and although it was cold outside, we were cosy inside. We stayed in a glamping pod and it was perfect. The decking provided a little place for our almost two year old to run around safely!
The site was very tidy and well presented. The facilities were all great. Our son spent ages playing in the play park.
The site was a good base for us to explore the local area. We enjoyed the walk into the seafront.
The onsite team were very friendly, which we have found on all sites we have visited. We will definitely be returning!

We stayed in the Crane Deluxe Tent in Sandringham for four nights and absolutely loved it. The tent is fantastic and has everything you could need, from a dishwasher to a wood-burning stove. The smart TV was also great for relaxing and watching a film in the evening.
The shower is amazing — very spacious, with plenty of lovely hot water. We did find that we were given rather few logs for the wood burner, as they were already gone by the second night, so it might be worth having a few more available.
The facilities on the campsite are excellent too. There are washing machines available, as well as brand-new shower and toilet blocks. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, and I have to give a special mention to the cleaning staff, who do an excellent job. I actually told them personally how impressed I was with how well they keep everything clean.
There is also a lovely mobile coffee and breakfast van, with tables next to it, where you can enjoy a nice coffee or breakfast. On alternate days, there is either a fish and chip van or a wood-fired pizza van, which is a really nice addition.
One small thing to be aware of: we are both not particularly tall, and we found it quite difficult to reach the plates, cups and glasses on the high shelf, as well as the microwave. A small step stool would be very useful.
We enjoy cooking, and the cooker worked really well. The only issue was that the window blind can hardly be raised because of the construction, so it’s difficult to let some fresh air in through that window.
We stayed at Daleacres last year, where the USB charging points were at eye level with little shelves underneath, which made it very convenient to put your phone down while charging. In this tent, the USB points are mostly underneath cupboards or behind the sofa, at floor level, which was a little less practical.
We were also slightly surprised by how much traffic noise we could hear from the nearby road, although it didn’t really bother us during our stay.
One of the best things, though, was the wildlife! We saw muntjac deer, squirrels and lots of rabbits right from the tent. There is also a lovely walking route to Sandringham House that starts right next to the tent.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back!

POD itself was OK. Smaller than expected and no useable inside seating at a table to eat etc.
The real issue is the cost for what you get. Check in is after 3 pm and check out is by 10am. So you are paying for 19hours for a days stay. The campsite itself is 1pm check in and 12pm check out.
So high price, tiny pod and restricted time doesn’t feel like value for money!

Yes. A barbecue station is located in front of our yurts, safari tents, glamping pods and glamping cabins, where you can use a disposable charcoal barbecue. Our camping pods currently do not have a brick barbecue station beside them but you are welcome to use the disposable tin foil trays on a stable stand outside. Please ensure that your disposable barbecue doesn’t come into contact directly with the ground or decking. For your safety, please make sure that disposable barbecues are only used outside all accommodation and that they are left to cool before being thrown away. Never leave a barbecue unattended once lit, and please be considerate of other guests nearby.

Is Wi-Fi available on Experience Freedom glamping sites?
Wi-Fi is provided across some of our campsites, however please note due to an upgrade to our current Wi-Fi system, there will be work ongoing which may affect how you access Wi-Fi on your glamping holiday. Whilst work is in progress, FREE Wi-Fi will be available via a hotspot (near to reception areas) which you can access at any time. There is no Wi-Fi available at our Troutbeck Head campsite.
What's the difference between a pod, a glamping pod and a glamping cabin?
Camping pods are an upgrade from tent camping, providing the full camping experience without the hassle of bringing and setting up a tent. These wooden pods are well insulated, more secure, offer more privacy and shelter than a tent, plus they include heating and electricity to keep you warm and snug – lovely! You'll also have access to the onsite toilet and shower facilities. Glamping pods are like a mini lodge, giving you your very own self-contained hotel room in the countryside! These are perfect for guests who want to be in the middle of nature on our fantastic sites and want to keep creature comforts close by, like a sprung bed and a private toilet and shower. Glamping cabins are much the same as pods, offering single room open plan living with no separate bedrooms. However, they are larger and can therefore accommodate more people.
Are there toilets and showers on Experience Freedom glamping sites?
Yes, all of our sites have a toilet and shower building. Some of our fixed accommodation types are also installed with toilets and showers, they are: • Glamping pods and cabins come with a flushing toilet and shower as part of the en-suite. • Wooden camping pods, classic safari tents and yurts do not have a toilet installed as part of the accommodation but high-quality facilities are available just a short walk from each of the units.
Can I bring my dog/pet on an Experience Freedom glamping holiday?

Dogs are accepted subject to availability of dog-friendly accommodation and only when a supplement is paid. Read more about our dog-friendly accommodation.
