What customers say
Acorn Meadow is a peaceful, well-kept campsite. Guests praise its lovely rural setting and outstanding host, Fred. Highlights include clean facilities, spacious, level spots, and great value. It's close to a village pub. Most reviews are great, though one mentioned an overgrown Pingo Trail. Many want to return.

Power optional grass RV campsite
Liked Lovely small and quiet campsite with plenty of space. It had all the essential facilities which were clean and tidy. The owner Fred welcomed us on our arrival and was very friendly and helpful. There's a great thatched pub nearby.

Lovely Site in a beautiful area
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Fred greeted us on arrival and was very friendly, even gave us a map with suggested walks. The site is very relaxing and calm. The chequers pub was absolutely gorgeous and a 2 minute walk from the site.
Disliked Bathroom Facilities were not great and could do with upgrading or adding more toilets/showers. Sorry Fred, but I removed a start from the facilities rating for this reason but even with this dislike we would still return to Acorn Meadow.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely site. Perfect facilities - 2 toilets, a shower, washing up area. All undercover and lit up at night. Play park just across the road with field, football goal etc at the village hall. The campsite owner Fred is on site everyday, usually multiple times as people arrive, and you can call him anytime you need assistance. Bins regularly emptied. Picnic benches dotted near pitches to use. The pitches have newly played hedges in between that we can see will grow into a privacy screen in a year or two. Overall a lovely, clean, well maintained site.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Power optional grass RV campsite
Liked I had an amazing time at Acorn Meadow Campsite! The place was huge and had plenty of space. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The showers and toilets were top-notch, and the staff was really nice and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience!
My very own Accommodation was using a Tentbox lite XL mounted on a Ford Ranger WildTrack. that was fine.
The visit was in connection with Event Music at Old Buckenham Country Park, which is situated approximately 20 minutes from the campsite.
Disliked I have none

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this campsite—everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish! The owner, Fred, is incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home the moment we arrived. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained, with an electric shower that was always hot and refreshing.
The location is so peaceful and quiet, surrounded by beautiful nature. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. There are plenty of scenic walking routes nearby, each offering stunning views and fresh countryside air.
One of the highlights was the local pub just a short walk away—their Sunday roast was simply delicious and felt like the perfect end to a day of exploring.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience. We will definitely be back, and I can’t recommend this campsite enough to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in beautiful surroundings.
