Sandringham Estate half an hour; Norwich 55 minutes
Bar, golf, squash and tennis on site; horse-racing events on occasion

Fakenham Racecourse Camping and Caravan Site is well worth galloping to for stays on well-maintained grass lawns. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it a top spot for unwinding among the greenery of secluded gardens. The location is a real draw, since it’s a 20-minute walk from Fakenham’s town centre, and it only takes about 10 minutes to wander down to the River Wensum to access excellent walking and cycling routes through the countryside. It’s a 25-minute drive to Blakeney in the stunning Norfolk Coast National Landscape, home to vast sandy beaches and the jumping-off point for seal-watching boat trips. Not too fussed about exploring? Kick back on site while the kids and dogs nosey about in the grass areas. If you’re here for the racing, meets are organised from October to June; guests are more than welcome to stay overnight while they’re on (but they will need to move from their pitch to a designated area by 9am on the day of the event). Those who don’t have any enthusiasm for equestrianism can amuse themselves at the on-site Gallow Sports Centre’s nine-hole golf course, tennis court and squash court instead. There’s also a bar on site. Guests who stay for at least a couple of nights during a race meeting will get complimentary tickets into the races. Bikes can be securely kept at the site.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: It was away from main roads, the staff were really nice and helpful even when he had a problem I’ll discuss in the disliked, the toilets were cleaned daily and the information pack provided was great, especially labelling specifically the dog friendly places as we had brought the dog!

Disliked: The crows… I know it’s not the campsites fault specifically but there’s loads of trees and hundreds of crows that like to wake up at 4am, I now understand why they’re called a murder as it’s all they do! We asked to move after the first night as we were placed right underneath the crow trees, which they were helpful with, but maybe see about getting rid of them as they caused lack of sleep. Also the toilets were the furthest away from the tent pitches which meant a trek in the middle of the night for the loo, caravans all parked close by…

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice and friendly and helpful.
We loved the pitches, very well maintained, the sizes were a good size not crammed together.
The showers were very big and clean and easily accessible for everyone, the water was nice and hot any time of the day.
Loved the updates on emails regarding the food van whilst we were there we had the hog roast mmm very nice.
Not too far to walk to the shops and there was a pub on site that we used.

Disliked: Men's shower block was locked all weekend so had to use the ladies.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely clean site on level ground. Toilet & shower facilities were excellent. Good location for Fakenham and surrounding area.

Disliked: There was a wedding being held at the race course so very noisy for most of the evening, would suggest looking up what events are on at the race course before booking. There was no one on site to welcome us, this was not an issue as it was so quiet.

Local attractions

Surrounded by the lush woodland of Sandringham Country Park, Sandringham Estate (half an hour’s drive) is the Royal Family’s beloved Christmas retreat. The elegant rooms of the Jacobean mansion are decorated with splendid tapestries and paintings, while the gardens include a topiary area and ornamental lakes. The tall spire of Norwich Cathedral (55 minutes) dominates the city and is home to nesting peregrine falcons. The church is also renowned for its splendid cloister, with Gothic arches around a green with a paved labyrinth that’s a top spot for a little spiritual meditation. More stillness can be found at the Plantation Garden, with secluded benches and flower-lined paths A great way to explore the Broads National Park (one hour) is by canoe or kayak. As you glide through wetlands and peat bogs, keep your eyes peeled for resident wildlife such as cranes and herons – plus, if you’re lucky, the occasional otter.
