Salhouse Broad's Camping Corner is in a part of the Broads with spectacular views, woodland and broadside walks, and a variety of wildlife. You will be camping in the corner of a field which is a stone's throw from the Broad itself; the perfect place to wake up on a camping holiday or watch the Broadland sunsets.

Base yourself at Salhouse Broad for your holiday - park your car, set up your tent then explore by bike, canoe, foot, bus or train! Canoes, kayaks and bikes are all available to hire on site for a small fee. The site has toilet blocks in the car park and portaloos within the main camping area for guests to use.

Fabulous little campsite in a very pretty location 9 Sep 2014 Vanessa B. (Family with young children, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Aug 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Everything really ...being able to have a proper campfire made the kids day and it was an a lovely unspoilt site which we had pretty much to ourselves it's about a 20 minute walk from the carpark but there are wheelbarrows on hand to use and they made great entertainment for the kids,a minute's walk from the campsite and your on the river where you can hire canoe's and kayaks and there is also bike hire facility's the drinking water is also from a tap on the river so we had to fill big bottles to take back to camp...to sum up a proper camping experience Disliked: Nothing ..they have no showering facility's and basic pump toilets but that wasn't really a problem	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service (No rating) Child friendliness Cleanliness (No rating) Wifi (No rating) Overall 10
Lovely kid friendly quiet corner of lovely Norfolk 30 Aug 2014 Ellie M. (Family with young children, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Aug 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Very peaceful little spot with great unspoilt bucolic views. Whole site is car free which is fantastic for those of us with little kids. Loved the one minute stroll down to the waterfront and the ducks - endless fun for little ones! Boats moored up on the Broad made for a friendly and non-isolated feel. Great walks around and a lovely little boat trip over to Hoveton Broad nature trail. Friendly warden and relaxed attitude and atmosphere. Lovely big firepit with wood available to buy from warden if you don't have time to go scavenging! Only about 23 pitches so very intimate and friendly. Pitches are not marked which kind of adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Nice to be able to pop into Salhouse village for basic supplies or for trips to local pubs. Lovely feel and great field to run about in, climbing trees etc. Kids loved it. Site was lovely and clean and I saw litter pickers getting rid of stray bits that had flown over the hedges. I believe this is a new site so I am guessing that if it's been busy enough this summer the owners are likely to install proper loos and hot water and then it would be just super peachy! Disliked: The car-free-ness which is great, does have a downside which is that you have to transport all your stuff from the carpark in a wheelbarrow, which is fun (once!) but not fun four times, which is what we needed to do. The walk is about 15mins and seems to get longer with each trip! Sadly this might put us off coming back as with kids it's just draining. No proper loos or any hot water. I personally don't ask much from a campsite, but a small (1 or 2) toilet block with at least one sink with hot water for washing up and washing hands would be a welcome addition. The portaloos got filled up quick and were a bit gross by the end of a bank holiday weekend and we had nowhere to wash up or get clean. Showers we can do without but a hand wash we can't! I think paying £13 per night would be more reasonable if it included access to hot water. Oh, and a drinking water tap on the actual site rather than down by the Broad would be great - only because boats moor up and fill up with water and it can take them ages leaving poor campers waiting for a while to get water for tea etc. Dogs are supposed to be on leads - most campers respected this but one or two didn't and being a dog disliker (!) I would have liked a bit more action on this.	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness Cleanliness Wifi (No rating) Overall 7

lovely position with a friendly atmosphere 26 Aug 2014 sarah k. (Family with young children, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Aug 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Being near the water, beautiful views of open fields. Walks and kayaking very enjoyable. Portaloos fairly clean even after rain and a busy bank holiday. Disliked: Noisy people arriving late and keeping the kids awake until midnight. Also a noisy ? Party boat with very loud music on the Friday.	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness Cleanliness Wifi (No rating) Overall 8
We had a brilliant time! 18 Aug 2014 Rebecca L. (Family with young children, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Aug 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: This campsite is exactly what it says it is - a field, 10 minutes walk from the car park, a tap 2 minutes walk away and portaloos in the field. Yes, you have to carry or wheel your kit, yes it's a bit of a trek, especially if your only helpers are children, but it's peaceful and beautiful. There's none of the trappings of the 'commercial' campsites - it's homemade entertainment, good old playing for the children and simple camping. Disliked: There wasn't anything to dislike. It would be awkward with very small children due to the washing/toileting facilities. We were only there for a short stay and it wasn't obvious how we would have gone about the serious washing up of dishes. But it was the lack of these facilities that made the campsite what it was. You can't have it both ways - just don't turn up expecting them...

Simple, no frills camping in a beautiful location 6 Aug 2014 john s. (Solo traveller-male, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Aug 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: If you want to be close to the Broads, I can't think of a better location than Salhouse, it's a beautiful part of the world. The campsite is in a field literally seconds away from the waters' edge. The essentials are there - there's a supply of fresh water via a standpipe by the Broad, the campsite also features a couple of portaloos at the edge of the field, and a large communal fire pit at the other end, a great place for campers to meet up and get to know each other in the evening. The night I stayed there, there were approximately 10 other tents on site, enough to feel populated, but not crowded. The age range was across the board - families with children, a teenage boys group, a 30th birthday group, middle aged couples and an older couple. I spent a very relaxing afternoon just pottering about at the side of the Broad, watching the world go by. The place is teeming with wildlife, you can see hundreds of tiny fish swimming around in the shallow water, and there's an army of ducks and geese on the Broad that will eagerly take the bread straight from your hand. The addition of facilities such as the canoe and bicycle hire are a great asset, and something I'd have made use of if I'd had more than a day to spare. I'll definitely be booking again. Disliked: Not much to grumble about really. Yes, a ten minute walk from the car park to the campsite feels like a bit of a trek when you've got a ton of camping equipment with you, but wheelbarrows are provided, and let's face it, the remote location of the site is part of its appeal. It is a "no frills" approach to camping - if you're looking for a shower block, games room and wifi access, you've come to the wrong place. (Incidentally, although there's no wifi, I could just about get one bar of 3G on my phone if the wind was blowing in the right direction. As much as I like getting back to nature, it's nice to still check in on facebook now and again, hehe... ;)	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness Cleanliness Wifi (No rating) Overall 10
