Small family-friendly site in the Broadland countryside
A five-minute drive to The Broads; 25 minutes to the coast or Norwich
Shop in the local village; on-site bar on Friday and Saturday evenings

Historic Norwich, the Broads National Park and the Norfolk coast… take them on in one fell swoop at Foragers Rest. This is not your typical site in any sense, with goats and sheep next door and free-roaming guinea pigs whistling around the site. Small and family-friendly, Foragers Rest has handy amenities for the family. There is a toilet block, a shower, a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area. And all the family are welcome here, furry or not - just remember, they’re not the only furry creatures about, so they must be kept on leads. There’s plenty of space on the pitches to get set up just how you like it. Once you’re burrowed in cosily, get your clogs on and hot-step it to Norwich’s historic sites 25 minutes’ drive away (or 10 minutes if you want to park and ride into the city) or a stretch of The Broads’ 125 mile-strong waterways (accessible from a five-minute drive). The Norfolk coast is also only 25 minutes’ drive away. The river is a short walk away (or even quicker to access with a car ride) should you fancy breaking your paddleboards or kayaks into the Norfolk channels. As for activities on site, the site has a bar on Fridays and Saturdays between 6pm and 10pm. Food first? There’s a pub, a fish and chips shop and a grocery shop in the village, 20 minutes’ walk away, as well as a gastro pub (more of the latter are a short drive away). The village also has a station on the Bure Valley Railway. This area of the Broadland countryside is known as ‘big sky country’, and set away from the road, Foragers Rest gets its fair share of splendid sunsets. The night-time vibe can be enhanced with a barbecue, or by heading to one of the local eateries.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Everything!! Warm showers,relaxed site,quiet location with a short drive to all amenities!! Very Clean,child and pet friendly. Camping pitches are alot more spacious than on the pictures!! Excellent value we even stayed an extra 2 nights !! Horsey Gap is a definite must visit to see all the seals but please keep 10m distance. Wroxham broads boat hire is excellent. So much to do all located in a 30 minute drive from the campsite.

Disliked: The skip smells but only when you walk past otherwise its perfectly.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We loved the location. It's a quiet small site with goats, chickens, ducks and guinea pigs to see. Toilets and showers were always clean. The price was fantastic. Almost unbelievable compared to others locally. We stayed five nights and could have stayed longer as there's so much to do in the area. It's out in the country with good clear sky for star gazing on clear nights too. Bats visible at twilight also. Many happy memories made!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly atmosphere, basic and fun

Disliked: Suited us, as I had my daughter with me. But be aware if you don't have kids, there's a lot of them about running playing and having fun. They have questions and they will talk to you. Which I loved but having camped before kids I see this might disturb the peace somewhat if that's what you're looking for

Paul R. Aug 2023

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: This site has a very level grass field which has trees to one side which gives shade to one side and open to the sun the other side. The toilet/shower block is very well kept/clean. The site is very quiet and run by lovely/friendly people so would highly recommend a stay here.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike but if internet and telephone connection is very important to you, you may struggle to get a signal at times especially with the network we use (Vodafone).

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very nice camp site, with no tacky "frills". Very friendly owners. . Fresh home grown produce sold daily and the toilets and showers are so clean you would think they had just been installed. Lovely place, can't fault it.

Disliked: strangely I would say they need to increase their charges for camping, as the ridiculously low price seems to attract some disrespectful campers that you may not wish to pitch up with. Real shame!

Local attractions

Being in the middle of the Norfolk countryside has its perks… foodies can flock to the market town of Aylsham (10 minutes’ drive) beside the River Bure for lush local produce and ‘slow food’ concept eateries. Blickling Hall (15 minutes), a Jacobean stately home, is easily combined into one trip. From Aylsham, there’s a footpath to Wroxham (20 minutes). There, board the Bure Valley Railway for a steam train journey back to Buxton (by your new base). Towards the Norfolk coast and right on the edge of The Broads, Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens (40 minutes) has a small zoo or, for adventurous types, a treetop adventure course. But of course, those Broads and the gorgeous Norfolk coast must somehow feature in your itinerary. The seaside at Mundesley (25 minutes) was just as popular in the Victorian era as it is now. Wroxham (20 minutes), set on the River Yare, has a riverside park and boats available for hire.
