  • Lakeside site five minutes’ drive from Holt in rural North Norfolk
  • A 20-minute drive from Sheringham and Cromer; woodland walks on site
  • Beach 15 minutes’ drive; pub five minutes’ drive; firepits welcome
Tucked into the stunning 'Holt Hollow' on the outskirts of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, North Norfolk Camping and Glamping is a splendid getaway indeed. At five minutes’ drive from the services of the Georgian town of Holt, the camping field is peaceful and quiet, but certainly not remote. It overlooks wildflower meadows and a peaceful lake surrounded by acres of woodlands just begging to be explored by family, pals and – as it’s very pet-friendly too – any accompanying dogs. Kids can paddle in the lake and run around building forts in the woods before gathering with family around a campfire in the evenings. There are North Norfolk beaches and nature reserves within 20 minutes’ drive, as well as long hikes along the Norfolk Coast Path. Facilities on site include firepits, firewood and campfires so you can rustle up a barbecue. If alfresco cooking is firmly off the agenda, head for the takeaways, pubs and restaurants in Holt – you can walk there in half an hour if you want to make a night of it.

Rachel S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting with loads of space to spread out. A real haven of tranquility.

Disliked: In the field behind the carpark there is a noticeable and loud humming noise all night which seems to come from a nearby pumping station - so take ear plugs! Also, showers are only for the brave as both feet and shoulders are open to the elements and water is warm ish at best.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person, small)

Liked: - Nice lake view - Good location

Disliked: - Awful facilities - 4 showers onsite, only one works but no signage to say this. One worked for 20 seconds and then turned off and didn’t work again. Everyone queues for one shower. - 5 men’s toilets, one permanently locked and two without locks, so you’re down to 2 toilets. - Simple things like no hooks in shower/toilets so you cannot hang any clothes/bags/towels etc. It’s clear the owners/management have never used the facilities themselves. - Toilets dirty and smell. - Toilets and shower have a small door which covers torso, legs and head visible over the top so not very private. - No light in toilet block. - No staff/reception area where you can find anyone. - If you don’t get a lake view, the camping area is very squashed and crowded so that side didn’t look enjoyable. - Car remains in car park and not next to your tent which could be inconvenient for some. - Can hear road noise. - Expensive for what you get, so not good value for money.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: We were in a day/campervan with an awning. Lovely scenic location Clean and tidy Nature based - lovely central lake. Wild camping feel being able to pitch up more or less where you please. Basic facilities available - well maintained and clean. Good, swift communication prior to arrival as we were a day later than expected.

Disliked: Not so much dislikes but improvement suggestions: Clearer signage approaching from Edgefield direction required. Clearer check-in procedure as no fixed reception onsite or guidance about where to go once your turn off main road. Didn't see any staff. I felt it was on the expensive side given the level facilities available. Bird scarer in close by field disturbing the peace and upsetting dogs.

Liked: Nothing to like unfortunately

Disliked: Very over priced. I Arrived and no meet and great. I had rang in advance to ask if I would be safe and was reassured it was a busy family campsite. I was the only camper when I Arrived!.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (no awning)

Liked: The campsite itself is lovely and peaceful, with a wood and lake in the centre. Toilets and shower facilities were good. The area surrounding area is great, with Holt and other nice places a short drive away. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. Feels like nearly wild camping. We loved it and would definitely come back.

Liked: The lovely location by the lake under the trees for the campervans. Great addition to our stay to be able to use fire pits! Very good location, very close to Holt and a good base to explore Norfolk

Disliked: There was a very loud bird scarer in a nearby field that started early in the morning!

Local attractions

Nature-lovers may get to spot owls and fallow deer in the woods around the campsite, and families can take binoculars to watch for rare bird species on nature walks in Holt Country Park (five minutes’ walk). For more animal sightings, visit the grey seal colonies at Weybourne or Blakeney Point (both 15 minutes’ drive) in autumn and winter. North Norfolk beaches include Sheringham (15 minutes) for rock pooling on its pebble beach, lively Hunstanton (45 minutes) with all its family amusements, and Wells-next-the-Sea (25 minutes), popular for its sandy beach backed by colourful beach huts. Victorian Cromer (20 minutes) is known for family entertainment on the pier and Banksy’s renowned ‘Great British Spraycation’. There’s culture by the bucketload too. Anyone with an interest in military history may like to take a turn around the weaponry and vehicles at Muckleburgh Military Collection (15 minutes). There are priceless antiques and artworks to be seen at Palladian-style Holkham Hall (half an hour), or you can pretend you’re royalty for the day with a nose around the palatial apartments at Sandringham Estate (40 minutes), and afterwards let the kids (and any dogs) have a run in the wooded parkland.
