  • Almost wild Norfolk campsite half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn
  • Brancaster Beach and Sandringham Estate 15 minutes’ drive
  • Peaceful woodland pitches with World War I trenches on site
Gather around all you World War I aficionados, for here’s a real treat. The peaceful campsite at Dreamy Hollow is set on a 7.5-acre wild woodland site home to rare Lovat Scouts trenches listed by Historic England as a site of national importance. For anyone not so interested in 20th-century history, luckily there’s lots of birdwatching and stargazing to be done on site as well. Half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, the site’s almost wild camping and hammock pitches sit amid woodland comprising mainly oak, silver birch and mature hawthorn. Part of the site was quarried during the 1940s, and this provides some sheltered and some elevated pitches of varying sizes from tiny to truly gigantic. While most of these secluded spots are family friendly, the ones close to the trenches and in the Turtle Dove conservation area are adults-only. Campfires are allowed in designated fire baskets at each pitch when fire-risk conditions allow. If you would like a campfire, the site asks that you please order logs and kindling in advance when booking. Extra seasoned wood is available to purchase on site.

LIZ M.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (adults only, six person)

Liked Secluded nature of each pitch. Each felt very private and separate from the others.
No cars away from the car park. Even with the furthest pitch the use of wheelbarrows wasn’t a problem.
No electronic music/sound. Very peaceful.

Disliked Take your own toilet roll. Not a major dislike and fairly standard on any campsite but the toilets weren’t regularly replenished.

Sorry you found the toilets weren't regularly replenished. We do extra checks during the busy summer periods, I'll make sure it's kept on top of.

Dominic K.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly on arrival, giving us plenty of instructions to help us get there and get settled in. Our two pitches were perfect for our needs, and were equipped with fire pits ready for us. The car park had plenty of space for us all. The best bit was by far the setting. The whole site is extremely well kept and we would definitely consider returning.

Disliked Nothing of note.

Cheryl C.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (six person)

Liked Great campsite. lovely pitch surrounded by trees. Great facilities. Lovely walk round the campsite of an evening with the dogs. The wardens were extremely helpful and very friendly. Only a 15 min drive to Brancaster beach which we love as its dog friendly. I enjoyed listening to the peacocks in the next campsite. Was some road noise, but we were aware of this before we booked, could still hear all the birds so was still a chilled enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay again at Dreamy Hollow when going to Norfolk.
