  • Almost wild Norfolk campsite half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn
  • Brancaster Beach and Sandringham Estate 15 minutes’ drive
  • Peaceful woodland pitches with World War I trenches on site
Gather around all you World War I aficionados, for here’s a real treat. The peaceful site at Dreamy Hollow is set on a 7.5-acre wild woodland site home to rare Lovat Scouts trenches listed by Historic England as a site of national importance. For anyone not so interested in 20th-century history, luckily there’s lots of birdwatching and stargazing to be done on site as well. Half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, the site’s almost wild camping and hammock pitches sit amid woodland comprising mainly oak, silver birch and mature hawthorn. Part of the site was quarried during the 1940s, and this provides some sheltered and some elevated pitches of varying sizes from tiny to truly gigantic. While most of these secluded spots are family friendly, the ones close to the trenches and in the Turtle Dove conservation area are adults-only.
 Campfires are allowed in designated fire baskets at each pitch when fire-risk conditions allow. If you would like a campfire, the site asks that you please order logs and kindling in advance when booking. Extra seasoned wood is available to purchase on site.

What customers say

This woodland campsite offers secluded, private pitches with fire pits and wheelbarrows for equipment. Guests praise the peaceful ambiance, bird song, and the unique 'nearly wild camping' feel. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, with particular mention of Harry. Clean, hot showers and toilets are appreciated, though some noted they can be stretched during busy periods. Noise from neighbouring peafowl and occasional road noise were mentioned. Signage and some pitch unevenness were noted minor points.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch (six person)

Liked Second to none! Heaven on earth, pitch was perfect, shown around the ww1 trenches, amazing! Jonathan showed us to our pitch, we bought a starter box of timber and we cooked our evening meal and breakfast. Also had a shower, it was phenomenal! I could hear the birds whilst I washed my hair, it was surreal to say the least! Will 100% be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked The campsite and setting. The wardens were very inviting and helpful.

Disliked There is a peafowl somewhere near and it was so noisy day and night. One of the pitches was quite overgrown and could have been strimmed or cut to make things more easier to pitch and move around. The showers and toilets did get very discusting when there are lots of people on site. No toilet roll at one point but just took our own after just in case,

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 10/10 review.

I'm glad to hear you liked the setting of our campsite and our Wardens Harry and Jonathan were helpful.

The glamping site next door has quite a few peafowl who do make some noise. They are quite beautiful but noise at night isn't great. There's not much we can do about them unfortunately.

In regards to the toilets, extra checks should be done when it's busy but I'll make sure this is the case.

We hope to see you again soon.

Kind regards,

Naomi

Liked A unique site nestled next to the trenches and lots of trees and wildlife. Definitely very peaceful and close to the coast too

They provide wheel barrows for your equipment as you are unable to park next to your tent. The toilets and showers are clean and hot water.

Staff are super friendly and I shall look forward to returning soon

Local attractions

There’s quite a lot you can do without even leaving the site. Step into a time warp with a small-group visit to the World War I trenches, or take a guided tour of the protected Lovat Scout trenches. Going off site and further back over the centuries, have a wander around the ruins of Augustinian Creake Abbey or book a guided tour of the royal palace on Sandringham Estate (both 15 minutes’ drive) If history just isn’t your thing, you can book archery lessons on site. There’s a golf course at Old Hunstanton (20 minutes), and North Norfolk also has many easy and flat walks like the Norfolk Coast Path, 15 minutes away by car. Alternatively, you can join cycle paths straight from the site – borrow bikes in Snettisham (15 minutes) if you don’t have your own pedal power. Wildlife lovers should head for RSPB Titchwell Marsh (also 15 minutes) to have a snoop for tawny owls, egrets and grebes among the lagoons and reed beds. Catch a boat from National Trust-owned Morston Quay (half an hour) to visit England’s largest grey seal colony at Blakeney Point, or combine your animal-spotting with a family day on the beach at Holkham Bay (25 minutes), where seals often bask on the sand.
