Salhouse Broad — Hotel in Broadland

Liked: The email with directions sent made finding the car entrance really easy. The check in process was really quick and simple - the Ranger was friendly and helpful. The site is clean and tidy, and (depending on who else is there) peaceful. Facilities are basic, but clean and functional - and exactly as advertised. Closest campsite to the broads that I have found, a perfect base for canoeing or paddle boarding, or just a sit on the banks. The Hungry Otter is on the doorstep for Teas/Coffees/Cakes etc. in the morning. Perfect place if you want a simple, basic, camping trip!

Disliked: The Ranger tried his best to police the fact that it is a 'quiet' site. Including asking a group of people to leave after a noise complaint from the night before. Unfortunately, I think people fail to realise how far their voices carry. Please if you are going to book this site, pay attention to the noise warnings and be considerate that other people may be wanting some peace and quiet. It is a bit isolated, in that it is not possible to walk far along the broads. But this is just unfortunately due to the position of Salhouse broad in the wider network. If you want to get anywhere via 'the scenic route' you are best off taking a boat! None of these are 'criticisms', just things that I think people should be aware of before they book so they are not...

Liked: The location was perfect as I was cycling part of The Rebellion way . The pitches were flat and reasonable gaps between them . Drinking water available at the stand pipe and a coffee hut a few metres away. Both Rangers I met were super friendly and gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble

Disliked: I had the misfortune to get the neighbours from hell both opposite me and adjacent to me on Friday 19th July , plot 15 and plot 1, I was plot 16 . Plot one arrived at 8pm , 3 Adults, 4 children , open pit fire , BBQ, kids playing football , smoke into my tent and loud noise until around midnight … however plot 15 crew arrived at 10pm and pitched tent in dark then met up with friends and talked loudly outside their tent until 01.15 when my patience finally snapped and I verbally vented my anger at their selfish behaviour . I shall never use this campsite again as I was under the impression the site was a ‘Quiet’ one with open fires and BBQ party’s not permitted. I used the site previously as that is what I wanted from the experience. Needs some form of night patrol maybe around 11pm to discourage noisy groups of people . This was my second visit this year and my last...
