  • Peaceful adults-only site in a wildlife haven
  • Two fishing lakes with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream
  • A 10-minute stroll to Hingham with shops and a dog-friendly inn
Hoot. And (fishing) hook. Big folk, come and join the owls, hawks, red kites, muntjac deer and other local inhabitants round and about adults-only Rectory Farm Fishing and Camping Site in Norfolk. Bring your rod and licence to tackle the slippery specimens at Rectory Farm’s two fishing lakes, filled with mostly carp and tench, and smaller shoals of roach, rudd and bream to try your hand at for a day or half-day charge. The lakes are as well maintained as the site facilities, where guests have access to toilets, showers, taps with drinking water, a fridge freezer, sinks with hot water all day and night, waste disposal point and picnic benches to take in the views. Dogs are welcome and have special areas on site for energetic walks. From Rectory Farm, it’s a safe 10-minute stroll to Hingham, with the dog-friendly White Hart inn, shops, bakers and butcher to pick up sausages and other essentials for the evening campfire.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite offers a peaceful, rural retreat with spacious, well-maintained pitches, often with added privacy from hedges and trees. Guests praise the friendly, helpful owners and the tranquil atmosphere. The site features fishing lakes, wildlife, and excellent dog-walking areas. It's a short walk to Hingham village, which provides amenities and a pub. While generally clean, some reviews mention the toilet and shower facilities could benefit from an update.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Fabulous site just what we needed for a relaxing break. Peaceful and tucked away yet a great base for exploring a lot of Norfolk. Ample facilities and the pitches are well spaced out. We had a fishing peg a stones throw from our tent with lots of wildlife to watch.
The bakery & butchers in the village are a must visit for the flapjack, bread rolls, bacon & chipolata’s respectively. There’s also a raw milk vending machine 10 mins away (Daisy’s Milk Shed).

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Chris,Jaz and Richard are excellent hosts. I had a very warm welvome, got help pitching up my tent ( in the rain for that matter!!!) . Couldnt have asked for more. They helped me settle in and i felt very safe as a solo ,female camper. The campsite is very clean, toilets and the kitchen too very clean. It gave the wild camping vibe that i wanted, peaceful and tranquil. I would recommend this campsite 100% and will definately come again.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely site, large well spaced pitches with lots of hedging and trees. Very clean toilets and good amenities. Helpful owner. I really loved walking through the farm’s beautiful wildlife area at the back of the campsite. Easy 10 minute walk into Hingham village where the White Hart pub is highly recommended.

Disliked Some military plane noise

Liked A beautiful piece of Norfolk countryside. 🌞
Greeted on arrival. Staff (and dog 🦮) very polite and welcoming
Well set out, spacious pitches with added hedgerows for privacy. ⛺️
🐟 The fishing lakes an added bonus (if you want to fish) or just to walk around and watch the wildlife 🦢

Local attractions

Once you’ve put down the fishing rod, head to Hingham with the camera to snap some shots of very fashionable houses: Hingham’s popularity with posh Georgians who came here in the 18th-century led to the town being labelled Little London. The eastern side of the market place is said to have the best collection of Georgian houses in Norfolk, perfect for pics and a possible rant about 21st-century property prices (buy a motorhome instead). From Hingham, it’s about 17 miles east to Norwich, Norfolk’s capital town and filled with a capital amount of attractions such as England’s biggest six-day indoor market, the greatly-sized Gothic fountain at the Plantation Garden and the ‘Norwich 12’, 12 listed buildings in the city including stupendous Norwich Cathedral. Keep driving your way east to reach the Norfolk Broads: their 125 miles of navigable waterways are where to go in Norfolk for all things boat, whether you want to try a guided river trip to wildlife spot, hire a boat to drift lazily down the water or take out a canoe for placid paddling. The Broads have several good angling lakes to pick from too, or try sea fishing off the beach from Sea Palling round to the coast at Great Yarmouth. A 45-minute drive from Rectory Farm will bring you to the gorgeous beaches of the north Norfolk coast and the 45 miles of the North Norfolk Coastal Path, going from Hunstanton to Cromer via Wells and Blakeney in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
