The Campsite
With a warm and welcoming atmosphere our small cliff top campsite turns itself on every July and August before switching back to its winter state within a matter of days!
Having camped for many years running this summer site in such an idylic spot is a real joy. When the weather is good I don't thing we would rather be anywhere else, so come along and find out why we have been nominated into the top 5 coastal campsite in the country.
The Campsite
Overstrand Campsite is a tents only campsite - proper camping for proper campers. Open for just July and August our campsite prides itself on its friendly vibe and helpful staff who camp on site and are on hand should our guests need any help or advice.
Overstrand campsite is on the edge of the attractive coastal village of Overstrand, situated on a cliff top position overlooking wide sandy beaches. Campers visit our site to enjoy the beautiful views of the sea and beach below as well as the relaxed campsite atmosphere.
The village grew up around its fishing industry, you can still see fishermen and their catches on the beach. The beauty of Overstrand attracted many of the rich and famous to build some grand and unusual properties which lead to it being nicknamed "the village of millionaires". The village has a well stocked shop, post office, pub and cliff top cafe.
Alongside the campsite there is a cliff top path which takes you into the famous seaside town of Cromer, about one and a half miles away.
With many popular tourist attractions throughout Norfolk, Overstrand Campsite is the perfect base for a family holiday, if you can bear to tear yourself away from the beach.
