Family-friendly Norfolk Broads site in 80 acres of country park
Watersports centre less than five minutes’ walk away
Play area and shop on site; café next door

Say Pah to the passport, avoid the airport and don’t go a-broad for a holiday overflowing with activities and attractions – go to the Norfolk Broads instead. There's a wide range of all-weather things to do around Whitlingham Broad Campsite once you’re there: the Broads are in its back garden with a watersports centre less than five minutes’ saunter from your pitch; the city of Norwich is an easy 15 minutes by bike or bus, and the site is in 80 acres of country park with masses of room for kids to run around and with a network of walks stretching directly from it. The site itself is entirely made of grass, but the country park landscape also takes in rivers, water meadows blooming with wildflowers, and wildlife-laden woodland with trees young and old. Sturdy (not disposable) barbecues are allowed on all pitches, and some firepits are available to hire from the Whitlingham team. Just steps away from the accommodation fields are the three large lakes of the Great, Little and Conservation Broads: take a canoe out here or fish, picnic and wildlife watch from the banks. The Outdoor Education Centre a few minutes’ walk away has kayak and dragonboat hire and sailing and surfing courses as well as landlubber activities like archery and rock climbing. Family washrooms are available at Whitlingham Broad for guests and other amenities include an onsite shop and play area. A café is right next door, but local companies will deliver to your pitch if you fancy a takeaway for dinner: ask the team for their broad list of recommendations…

What customers say

This is a well-regarded campsite praised for its excellent facilities, cleanliness, and beautiful natural setting. Staff are frequently noted as friendly and helpful. Its location near the Broads and Norwich city centre is a significant advantage, offering plenty of activities and walks. While many visitors had a flawless experience, some mentioned minor issues like occasional noise, and a few reviews highlighted customer service concerns and occasional lack of hot water.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Wheelbarrows as toys & to help get camping equipment to & from the very close car park.

Lower Meadow non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The campsite is clean and well attended with polite and helpful staff. There is a little store on site wich is well appointed with the basics, but also lots of little extra things and items easily forgotten. On the weekend we visited, a wood fired pizza truck turned up after a day of being rained on, which was a lovely alternative to firing up the cooker.
The toilet, showers and washing up areas were excellent, clean and accessible. My partner and I, were amazed by how close we actually were to the city centre and walked in for Gelato. It's a hefty walk, but straight forward (15000 steps if you want to try it). It is a lovely, convenient, well equipped, friendly campsite.

Disliked It is dead confusing to get to! Needlessly I feel. It was very tricky to instinctively know which was the lower field and the upper field without signs when you pull into the parking area and the reception/store is not obvious from the road. You really need to park and go scouting on foot. We found it eventually though, and now know that little secret!

I would defiantly recommend to anyone , especially with kids.

Liked The campsite was easy to get to, a great location and really well run.

The treehouse play ground on site is great and lots of water activities just a 2 min walk away.

Great facilities which were super clean. Family shower room was very handy.

Upper Meadow non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite, everywhere is in view so my children could run off as the pleased, great park & close amenities. The staff were really friendly and helpful & great with the kids. The local boat hut was really friendly & conscientious too. I have no complaints, we’re now going again next week!! Also, the toilets and showers were cleaned everyday & well stocked, well presented too. There is a shop on site that is really reasonably priced & on the field with the campers.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Sticking to the Broads – just to start with – you’ll have the pick of waterside walks, watersports, cycling and wildlife spotting on the Whitlingham Broad doorstep. The café next to the campsite has a visitor centre with interactive info on the Broads to help you narrow things down a bit, and you can also catch the river boat here into Norwich city centre. For something a little more unusual, a ski club is a smooth 10 minutes away. Walks with a view are all around the site and within easy dandering distance: kids might like to monkey around on the child-friendly low ropes course through the nearby woods, in a spot where there’s also a play pirate ship to batten down the hatches at and an old lime kiln to have a peek at (be careful not to disturb the bats that roost there). The Wherryman’s Way path along the Yare in the Yare Valley is also a very good walk (and ends at a very good pub); the 12 circular walks along its route are handy for those who don’t fancy following it all the 35 miles to Great Yarmouth.
