Peaceful countryside setting
Entrance gate

  • Peaceful site in the Wensum Valley, south facing with excellent views
  • Easily explore the county from a convenient mid-Norfolk setting
  • Plenty of fishing, walks and cycle paths locally
If you’re in real and urgent need of a peaceful getaway, then a stay at Bylaugh Country Park should do the job. It might be close to civilisation – the town of Dereham is within 10 minutes’ drive and Norwich is half an hour away – but the quiet and secluded site in the Norfolk countryside should still give you all the escape you need. This part of Norfolk is paradise for walkers and cyclists, as it's well placed for exploring the county. You can join Marriott’s Way footpath, cycle path and bridleway about 10 minutes from Bylaugh Country Park, or follow its entire length by starting in Aylsham, less than half an hour away. The red route of Norwich’s Pedalways cycle path network is also within easy reach. When you’re feeling peckish, head to one of the many restaurants within 10 minutes of the site or fire up the barbecue for a home-cooked meal; pick up supplies from the small on-site shop or from the village of North Elmham, five minutes' drive drive away. Handily, North Elmham also has a popular fish and chips shop. Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, relax in the peace and quiet, looking out over the Wensum Valley and the quiet Norfolk countryside.

FHU grass campsite

Liked: We stayed for a long weekend. We had a lovely stay and this is now our favourite site!!
We had lovely welcome, there are some lovely owls on site, there's a fantastic little shop on site too which also sells some lovely gifts. We were pitched opposite a massive open space which is allocated for children to ride bikes play football, basketball, run wild and just be kids a lovely park which is located on the open space too. There's a lovely walk around the fields you can also do and some woods you can wonder into our kids loved it.
The Toilets and showers were spotless all the time, no litter around the site at all. It was busy but still have plenty of space.
Fabulous site and we can't wait to go back again.
No WiFi unless at reception area, but we liked this as it meant we could play family games and spend time together as a with out being distracted by mobile phones!!

Disliked: Nothing.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Bylaugh Country Park 17/04 - 22/04



My wife, 3 Dogs and I stayed here over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend, what a fantastic find…



There are simply not enough superlatives to describe our stay here.



We were welcomed by a lovely couple who run the reception and was shown to our pitch. It was quite an isolated, quiet area in the corner of the site, which suited us perfectly.



The Reception area has some leaflets that showed the local shops, walks and services on offer. Reception sells all of the essentials, Bread, Milk and even have a freezer with ice creams. The walks are fantastic, as long or short as you need, and our Dog's loved every minute exploring new areas daily.



We used the Toilets, Showers and Washing Machines, all of which are spotlessly clean.



I would definitely recommend this site.

Disliked: Nothing, it was a superb stay.

FHU grass campsite

Liked: Lovely well maintained site with beautiful facilities. Walks from the site onto farmers fields and then into some woods. Peaceful and tranquil would highly recommend. We know the area well but if you don’t then it’s worth noting that the city of a Norwich is about 30 minutes away and the North Norfolk coast is 40-45 minutes away.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Everything about this site was excellent. The owners are friendly. The site is pleasant and relaxed. The shower and toilet block is always spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. The little shop came in handy as I needed some tent pegs and a battery for our smoke detector. We also bought a nice bottle of wine from the shop. I can’t fault the place and I would recommend it to any camper.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Angling fans will be well served with a stay at Bylaugh Country Park – the Wensum river is nearby, as are several carp lakes including the Lenwade and Billingford lakes, both ripe for fishing. The Billingford Fishing Lakes are only five minutes' drive away from the site, whereas Lenwade sits 10 minutes' drive away. If a beach break is more your bag, it's a 40-minute drive to the northern coast of Norfolk, where you can explore the Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, walk the Norfolk Coast Path and visit the scenic seaside towns that line it. Head back in time with a trip on the steam trains at Mid-Norfolk Railway and Bure Valley Railway, both within 30 minutes of the site, or by visiting the stately homes of Blickling Estate, Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall and Sandringham, all within 40 minutes of Bylaugh. There’s plenty close at hand for entertaining the kids too: they can meet the wildlife at Pensthorpe Natural Park, run wild at BeWILDerwood or get their own taste of history at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure. If they’re up for a slightly longer jaunt in the car, you can all get your adrenaline pumping on the rides at Pleasurewood Hills theme park.
