  • Quiet adults-only site in rural north Norfolk; dogs welcome
  • Blickling Hall 10 minutes' drive; 15 minutes to Cromer
  • On the edge of Erpingham, a short walk from two pubs
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.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, quiet, adult-only site with spacious, private pitches often screened by hedges. Facilities, including showers, are frequently described as very clean and excellent, with hot water. Many appreciate the close proximity to a bus stop for easy access to local attractions. Recurring comments highlight concerns about a limited number of showers, sloping pitches, and an unmanned reception. Some guests also experienced issues with waste bin capacity and intermittent Wi-Fi.

 Angela D. 2 reviews

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked On arrival the entrance to Deer’s Mead is very nice and the area is very well kept. We had a hard standing area for a caravan although we had a tent as we wanted the electric hook-up but there is a large grassy area for tents. The whole pitch is huge 😊 A really lovely pitch with hedges separating your pitch from others, and it’s very well looked after.
The shower block area and toilet facility is fabulous. The showers are incredibly hot and it’s a rain shower type which is lovely. The sinks are individual and it was very clean. I believe the shower block is cleaned twice a day ✅ It is a really lovely campsite 😊

Disliked Only gripe is the fact the reception area is unmanned but telephone numbers are left if there are any issues. We should have had an email to say which pitch we would be on but hadn’t received this so had to call. All was resolved very quickly though 😊

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked How quiet and clean the site was. We was in pitch No 2, so close to the toilets and shower block.

Disliked Pitch No 2 was in the shade nearly all day so got very little sunshine.

 Teresa F. 2 reviews

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked This site was perfect for being peaceful and the pitches were big with handstanding.
We are a couple who like to use our own showers, however the showers were spacious and very hot, cleaned regularly, so we both used these.
The washer and dryer were a bonus.

Bonus to this stay was having a free display of Typhoons flying over head most days.

Disliked There are 2 things that were a disappointment, the hedges needed a cut as they were long and brambles were growing wildly.

Because this is the sister campsite to Deers Glade unfortunately it is unmanned, so there was no meet and greet. We did however, get an email the day before to let us know which pitch we had been allocated.

I would highly recommend that maybe a representative could go to the site each day between a certain time to help or at least show that a member of staff is about.

All over lovely time will 100% be back when visiting the area again

 Andrew S. 1 review

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Nice setting

Disliked Premium priced pitch on a unmanned site. Second day ,
Had an infestation of ants, couldn't have the windows open, they were in the van, the awning and all over the grass
Difficult to contact the warden, they couldn't answer my email, landline answerphone message, because they were busy, came from sister site eventually.
Ant powder was administered, lasted about an hour before we were covered again we were told to order some ant powder from Amazon and have it delivered to their shop on the sister site, bit of a liberty,
Didn't see warden again
Shame we couldn't enjoy our well earned holiday, please avoid pitch 20 but we were not the only ones suffering after speaking to other caravanners on the site
Quite poor for the pitch cost £46 per night
Well disappointed to be fair

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.
