  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: The site staff/ owners are friendly and helpful. Hubbles restaurant is superb for meals and breakfast. The bar is good as well. Pitch was good.

Disliked: Not much to say here. A bit of noise when people are leaving the pub so beware where you pitch if you’re a light sleeper and go to bed early. Although pub shuts at 23.00.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: From the moment we arrived we was bowled over by the staffs helpfulness and kindness. We had problems with our own tent and within an hour the staff had found us accommodation, cleaned it and got it ready for us and we had the best service and was so pleased my little boy could continue his first successful fishing trip. He found it amazing, he even caught 9 fish then loved the immaculate shepherds hut. The restaurant was spot on, again the staff great and kind and the food delish. We can’t wait to return and we will many a times

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Lisa, Paddy and the team are amazing. They are really welcoming, friendly and go over and above. Hubbles cafe is great, the food is lovely and value for money, the breakfasts and Sunday roasts are a must. Rondo's bar is an ideal place to socialise with fellow campers. The lakes are well stocked and a great place for non-fishing people to relax. We will definitely be back again.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
