  • Welcoming site next to Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station
  • In the countryside, half an hour’s drive from Norwich and The Broads
  • Station bar-restaurant and museum on site; access to Marriott’s Way
Staying in lush green Norfolk countryside sounds pretty appealing on its own. However, add in a heritage railway station with a museum and a bar-restaurant and things get even more attractive. Set next door to the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, Whitwell Station Campsite is a welcoming rural site with direct access to the station, where there are daily departures, a bar-restaurant with a rear garden and access to the Marriott’s Way walking and cycling path. Rural this site may be, but it’s also well within reach of a few other key Norfolk attractions. First of all, it's within half an hour’s drive of the city of Norwich, as well as The Broads National Park, a scenic place to walk or take a boat trip. If you'd rather find your own way, hire a canoe or kayak at Salhouse Broad (also half an hour's drive) to look for wildlife and paddle as far as Horning or Wroxham. From Whitwell Station Campsite, you're also poised to get out to the Norfolk coast. Start by nosying around Cromer pier or the Sheringham Priory Maze and Gardens before heading to Blakeney to try crabbing from the quay or take a boat trip to see the local grey seal colonies. All of these options are a little over a half-hour drive away. Back at base, the park has well-maintained amenities suited to a weekend break or family holiday, including toilets and showers.

A C.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Allowed to check in earlier as we were in a touring caravan. Large concrete pitch, peaceful, fabulous run on marriots way, great for dog walking. Nice to have a bar with food and alcohol nearby. Pub in Reepham The crown served nice food and had a friendly feel.

Disliked Showers and toilets need to be upgraded especially for the colder months. Very dark even in the day time, not very clean and lots of leaves in them. Water on our pitch had a split in the pipe so we couldn't use it, the one on the next pitch had no way to turn it on, the far pitch was hooked up to a hose to somewhere!!! Luckily there was one that we could get water from. I did inform Steve who told us to not turn it on or use another one. Not helpful!! Steve seems very busy maybe to much to do on his own.
The road leading into the park is full of pot holes, this maybe due to the extreme wet weather we are having. We couldnt put the awning up on the hardstanding, grass beside the pitch was too sloped, so something to consider if you need an awning.

Liked N/A

Disliked Very expensive site considering the toilet facilities. The toilet facilities are in a dark shed with lighting that is only on in the evening so it is pitch black all day. Overall this site is extremely overpriced and very compact. Rather than the £28/night we paid I think a fairer rate would be closer to £16 and certainly no more than £20. The toilets weren't particularly clean and there is only one shower for the entire site. Unfortunately we had booked 5 nights on the site so were stuck.

Elizabeth R.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Only 10amp hookup,says fully serviced , no drainage,with a bit of work it could be tidier,shower not up to much ,nowhere to hang anything

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Elizabeth thank you for your comments which I find a bit harsh
Your dislike of a 10amp is what is advertised so I dont understand why you booked if that was a problem, you said all you had on was your TV and when putting the kettle on that knock the trip out which we called the electrician out at our cost only to find you had your heating on full blast as well as the kettle and TV
As for being fully serviced everything is there and and we went through everything with you to help you with your stay
As for the shower you are the only one that has made a comment but we take note about something to hang things on

Local attractions

What's worthy of the first stop on your Norwich break? You might as well make it the lively city of Norwich (half an hour’s drive), which is packed to the brim with shops, pubs, theatres, museums and historic sites like the castle and cathedral. Stop by Pulls Ferry, a former ferry house with a 15th-century watergate, to see the route along which the stone was sent to the Norwich Cathedral building site. Norwich ghost walks, which have been up and running since 1998, will take you around the city’s most ‘haunted’ sites. If you’re keen to tick off a few beaches as you make your rounds, some worthy places to consider are the dunes in Holkham (40 minutes) or West Runton (35 minutes), where prehistoric bones have been found. Viewing platforms among the dunes at Horsey Gap (55 minutes) also give you a chance of spotting the area’s grey seal colony. There are lots of museums and National Trust properties around these parts, too. The National Trust’s Sheringham Park (half an hour) has woodland walks where lucky folks can spot wildlife like red deer and firecrest. Sandringham Estate (45 minutes), used as a holiday escape for royals, has spectacular gardens and Jacobean-style architecture.
