  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great little site, love the location, not far from market towns but village-y enough. The low numbers of pitches limit means its so very quiet. I am a solo cycle-camper, so the picnic table and pitch where I want was ideal. Bathroom facilities spotless, and a great little use of space including free shower. I will definitely be back as/when needed in that area

Disliked Nothing really. I SHOULD have read the booking details then I would have taken enough cash, but the bank transfer option worked well.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This was our first time at Broom Meadow and we loved this campsite. It's very quiet, in a village location and the pitches are a good size. It was not that busy when we visited which made a for a very peaceful stay. Our host, Amy, was super helpful and friendly and checked on us each day. The washing block and shower/toilet was spotlessly clean. The campsite is in a good location, with the local pub a few minutes' walk away, and great for exploring Norfolk. We are returning on the next Bank Holiday.

Disliked We didn't dislike anything.

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.
