Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: So quiet and peaceful, there was only one other camper there, I set up a fire in one of the fire pits and bought some wood from the shed and watched the sun set. I’ve stayed here before when working in Norwich but I like it that much I will probably camp here again for the fun of it. The toilet and shower block are basic but adequate for what you need. There’s a big Tescos 5 mins drive away if you need anything. No one bothered me, really chilled and laid back site.

Liked: Free plums from plum orchard!
Facilities clean. Charging point, fridge and freezer for freezer blocks all very useful. Toilets always had paper and washing up sinks with hot water and washing up liquid available.
Availability of free fire pit hire and fire logs to purchase.
Close by to shopping facilities although it doesnt feel like it when you are on the campsite.
Generously spaced plots.
Disliked: Shower huts were too small making it a bit difficult to find somewhere to keep dry clothes dry. It was very windy when we stayed and the boiler pilot light had a tendency to blow out. There is however a large family shower room as an alternative to the shower huts.

Liked: Excellent camp site, very chilled out environment. Showers and toilets were great for the price point. The site has just what you need and nothing that you don't
Disliked: More a recommendation to be honest. Maybe a site map to help new arrivals know where they can and cant pitch up. Was also very vague about what to do upon arrival. The website stated “check in at the blue kiosk” couldn't find the kiosk or anybody who knew where it was.

Liked: Campsite was so relaxed. There were fire pits available for hire and a fridge you could use. The staff were extremely friendly. I got away because I was struggling with things and needed to hide away. This campsite gave me the opportunity to do that and left me feeling relaxed and chilled. I will definately be back and would recommend it to anyone if you are happy with back to basics camping. BBQs are allowed and there is a plug socket available to charge phones. The campsite is very clean and tidy and although it is near 2 main roads and a housing estate, it’s really peaceful. There is also a farm shop, cafe, pottery place, cidery, shop and hairdressers at the site. I recommend going to the farm shop for breakfast items
Disliked: Only downside was no disabled accessible facilities but I knew about this before going so was no big deal

Liked: Really relaxed, laid-back, peaceful campsite with all that you need - nice flat fields, lots of space so it never felt crowded, and good, clean facilities. A little gem, right on the edge of Norwich. Also great for spotting helicopters and planes flying into and out of Norwich airport (though far enough away for them not to be a disturbance)! The owner / manager was very frequently on site, quietly servicing the facilities and making sure all was in order. All in all, a great place to camp!
Disliked: Nothing!
