  • Dog-friendly pitches set in a meadow in a Norfolk country village
  • Surrounded by farmland, half an hour’s drive from Norwich
  • Within walking distance of a pub, playground and playing field
Surrounded by farmland and open space with lots of lovely wildlife, Broom Meadow Camping fits the bill for a country getaway with the whole family, dogs included. The well-maintained meadow is just a five-minute walk away from a playing field and playground, with a local pub and post office five minutes further on in the gorgeous country village of Barnham Broom. Being in the countryside has its perks, of course. Firstly, there are easy wildlife-spotting activities around the local village, and owls nesting on site. Second, there are plenty of opportunities for rural walks with the dog (and/or the kids), and the option of ending those with a celebratory pint (lemonade or beer, whichever you prefer) in the village. Back at base, the facilities are simple but well designed, consisting of a shower and toilet block and water and waste points. If you want to get your bearings, the first thing to note is that Broom Meadow Camping is half an hour’s drive from the very centre of Norwich, which of course has lots to do and see. Heading north, it’s a 50-minute drive to the Norfolk coast for places like Cromer and Sheringham. You may not make it that far though, as this is a pretty area with splendid little villages, lovely countryside and things to do. For starters, the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station is a 25-minute drive away. As well as running heritage train rides, it sits on the Marriott’s Way cycle path along the original railway track. After a bike ride or train trip, head back to nab yourself a coffee and cake in the café next to the museum.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: As first time campers we definitely hit the jackpot and picked the perfect campsite. Amy was a wonderful host, helping with forgotten items such as air mattress and power bank. Also helping with advice and knowledge of the area. Facilities are exceptionally clean and the shower is better than mine at home.
We was able to chose our own pitch with plenty of room for us. The campsite was very secure allowing the children to play whilst we relaxed.
We used the site as a base near to our sons football tournament and we are so glad we did.
All in all we had the best time here, and wished we could stay longer and spend more time here, will definitely be recommending to friends and family. And we will be back.
Thankyou!!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The facilities were perfect, the site was stunning so quiet and peaceful. Lots of open space which works really well for a family with a wild 3 year old and a dog. Our hosts were fantastic, so accommodating, helpful, and really easy to get on with. The toilets and the shower were spotless, the shower had great pressure and heat.

Thank you Amy & Graham (and Honey)
Will definitely be back again!

Local attractions

With Norwich (half an hour’s drive) being so easy to get to from Broom Meadow Camping, you may want to take your chance to tour the city’s sights. Perhaps start by visiting the medieval cathedral and the Museum of Norwich, before seeking out Norwich Market (the scent of fish and chips is a sure giveaway…). Since you’re in the countryside, maybe you fancy seeing some animals? There are rare sorts at Melsop Farm Park (20 minutes) such as Middle White pigs and the world’s smallest sheep breed, Ouessant Sheep. The play areas and hands-on animal experiences make this a fine choice for family days out. Meanwhile, ROARR! (15 minutes) has dinosaur-themed rides for kids who like to test their bravery. With 80 acres to explore, Eaton Park (20 minutes) also has lots to get stuck into for families such as a miniature railway and boat pond. For an afternoon of gentle strolling, Wymondham (15 minutes) is a top contender. The historic market town has a large abbey founded by Benedictine monks.
