Lovely views of the Norfolk countryside (added by manager 17 May 2023)

Adults-only site with a fishing lake outside Hillington, in Norfolk
Sandringham Estate five minutes’ drive; Blakeney Point 45 minutes
On-site bar open on weekends; heated shower blocks; dogs welcome

Have fishing rod, will travel. If your dream holiday involves sitting on the banks of a peaceful lake while casting a line, Gatton Waters Caravan Park might well be the place for you. Sitting a five-minute drive from the Norfolk village of Hillington, this adults-only site spreading over 24 acres has its own coarse-fishing lake, stocked with carp, roach, rudd, perch, bream and tench. It also has a fully-stocked bar open on weekends. While you indulge your favourite activity, the rest of your family (and the dog, who is a welcome guest here) might prefer to explore the surrounding woodlands, which is inhabited by hares and other wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, the lake itself attracts plenty of winged creatures; however, if you’re into birdwatching, you should take the half-hour drive to Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve, an area of salt marshes and sand dunes populated by terns, plovers and wintering geese. Some might prefer a day at the seaside, maybe at sandy Brancaster Beach (25 minutes) or Holkham Beach (40 minutes), or at Blakeney Point (45 minutes), which is known for its seal colony. Want to catch a spectacular Norfolk sunset? Head to Snettisham Beach (20 minutes), then get back to the site for an evening barbecue (stopping for provisions in Hillington, which has a fully stocked convenience store and a petrol station). Not in the mood for cooking? There are plenty of pubs serving locally sourced food and ales in the nearby villages. Amenities at the caravan park include ladies’ and gents’ heated shower and toilet blocks, and a washing-up area, as well as electric hook-up, chemical disposal, wifi and charging and recycling facilities.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: We had a really warm welcome & were provided with lots of information. This included the clever electricity meter system, so you only pay for what you use. It was lovely & quiet, perfectly peaceful. The showers & toilets were very clean, modern & warm. Nice to have an area you can let you dog off the lead. Nice to see all the fowl round the lake, though there are a lot of them!!

Disliked: The dog area could be improved to be more visually pleasing, screening the skip & a general tidy up. Vehicles didn’t stick to the 5mph speed limit & give we were parking very near the track round the lake, it often felt like vehicles whizzed by. The wifi dipped in & out quite a lot.

Liked: Right from the start we were made to feel very welcome by the wonderful family owners, pitch was large close to amenities, Mark showed us the available pitches we could choose from, once we selected he set up the electricity told us where everything was, this is a beautiful peaceful and very friendly site, one of the best we have stayed at, Mark or Mr Ben as that's who he reminded me of, he just popped up everywhere doing jobs around the site, he cycled back and forth helping people, drove back and forth clearing rubbish from the bins, and generally keeping everything clean and tidy. Small bar on site very nice to just sit and chat to other guests and of course Mark behind the bar, and his lovely Mum and Dad always around chatting,

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Does your canine companion deserve a royal treat? Take them to Sandringham Estate (five minutes’ drive), where they can sniff their way around 243 hectares of dog-friendly parkland. Humans can also stroll or cycle along nature trails winding through oak and chestnut groves, then reward themselves with an elegant afternoon tea (book in advance). At Norfolk Lavender (15 minutes), you can feast your eyes (and nose) on fields upon fields of colourful and fragrant flowers. Informative tours explain the process of harvesting and distilling lavender oil, and you will also learn all about the various uses of this aromatic plant. Stretching along the River Great Ouse, the historic town of King’s Lynn (15 minutes) is justifiably proud of its maritime heritage, which you can explore on guided or self-guided tours that take you along narrow cobbled streets to the medieval harbour and quayside.
