Pretty and peaceful Deer's Mead Caravan and Camping Park is the place for you if you’re looking for a child-free break in the north Norfolk countryside. On the edge of the small village of Erpingham, this is an adults-only park with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
Access to the park is nicely straightforward, as it’s just a little way from the A140 – not that you’d know there’s a main road close by once you’re settled in on the pitches, which are well marked by hedging and completely surrounded by trees for shelter and green views. The park is flanked on one side by Thwaite Common, a lovely place to walk your dog (four-legged friends are welcome here) or take an evening stroll to spot some wildlife.
Facilities on site have been kept on the simple side to preserve the quiet rural vibe, but you’ll have access to the essentials in the form of toilets (including wheelchair-accessible facilities), showers, a chemical disposal point and a wifi connection.
For meals or local pints, the village location puts you within easy walking distance of two pubs – and there are a couple of other well-liked options a short drive away too. For supermarket supplies, head into Aylsham (10 minutes’ drive), which also has a good clutch of cafés, bakeries and places to eat.
As well as being a lovely spot for a quiet retreat, this site is also in a great location for exploring the various corners of north Norfolk – the coast is about 15 minutes’ drive away, and it’s half an hour to either Norwich or the Broads National Park.

Local attractions
Pack your boots or bikes for a stay here, as there are plenty of footpaths and quiet lanes to explore in the area (and some nice pubs along the way too…). For a different way to see the local scenery, head to Wroxham (25 minutes’ drive) to hire small boats, canoes or paddleboards or join a cruise around the waterways of the Broads National Park.
For some different watery scenery, make your way north to the coast – perhaps for a walk on the Norfolk Coast Path or a visit to one of the hotspots along the way. Choose Cromer (15 minutes) for the pier and local seafood, Blakeney (35 minutes) for seal-spotting boat trips or Holkham (50 minutes) for dunes, forest and a huge swathe of sandy beach.
Get a sense of the area’s heritage with an outing to National Trust - Blickling Estate or a steam-powered ride on the Bure Valley Railway from Aylsham (both 10 minutes). There’s also a lot to explore in Norwich (half an hour), including a castle, a cathedral and several museums.
