  • 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.

What customers say

Dreamy Hollow provides a peaceful, secluded woodland camping spot with private sites. Guests love the helpful, friendly staff, especially Harry, and the clean, well-kept basic facilities with hot showers. The site's natural beauty, wildlife, and chances to connect with nature are big draws. The WW1 trench tour is a real highlight. A few downsides: some road noise and facilities can be strained during busy periods.

LIZ M.

Primitive grass tent campsite (six person, adults only)

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.

Dominic K.

Primitive grass tent campsite (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.
