Adults-only site with a fishing lake outside Hillington, in Norfolk
Sandringham Estate five minutes’ drive; Blakeney Point 45 minutes
On-site bar open on weekends; heated shower blocks; dogs welcome

Have fishing rod, will travel. If your dream holiday involves sitting on the banks of a peaceful lake while casting a line, Gatton Waters Caravan Park might well be the place for you. Sitting a five-minute drive from the Norfolk village of Hillington, this adults-only site spreading over 24 acres has its own coarse-fishing lake, stocked with carp, roach, rudd, perch, bream and tench. It also has a fully-stocked bar open on weekends. While you indulge your favourite activity, the rest of your family (and the dog, who is a welcome guest here) might prefer to explore the surrounding woodlands, which is inhabited by hares and other wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, the lake itself attracts plenty of winged creatures; however, if you’re into birdwatching, you should take the half-hour drive to Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve, an area of salt marshes and sand dunes populated by terns, plovers and wintering geese. Some might prefer a day at the seaside, maybe at sandy Brancaster Beach (25 minutes) or Holkham Beach (40 minutes), or at Blakeney Point (45 minutes), which is known for its seal colony. Want to catch a spectacular Norfolk sunset? Head to Snettisham Beach (20 minutes), then get back to the site for an evening barbecue (stopping for provisions in Hillington, which has a fully stocked convenience store and a petrol station). Not in the mood for cooking? There are plenty of pubs serving locally sourced food and ales in the nearby villages. Amenities at the caravan park include ladies’ and gents’ heated shower and toilet blocks, and a washing-up area, as well as electric hook-up, chemical disposal, wifi and charging and recycling facilities.

Liked: Great stay facility’s kept clean and a great view of the lake looking from my camper van front screen. Great position to get to Hunstanton and Sandringham. Have rebooked to visit again.

Disliked: Dusty track leading to the campsite covered my camper with dust. But probably annoyed me because our first trip out on our newly brought motor. 🙂

Rosemarie D. Apr 2024

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Everything. Owner was very helpful, pitch was spacious with lovely view over the fishing lake, nice little clubhouse with wood burner (very welcome on a wet/cold weekend) and bar. Location was perfect for Sandringham and right next door to lovely tulip fields. Showers and toilets were new and spotlessly clean. Designated area for dogs off-lead, otherwise on lead at all times.

Disliked: Not really a dislike - more a comment to justify with holding a star - pitches are not fully serviced. Need to collect water and dispose of waste (ample facilities close to pitch)

Recommend to friends Visit again

The friendliest welcome, the loveliest time - will become a favourite.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: We had the most wonderful stay here, the whole site is so well cared for, clean tidy lovely view all round the lake. Toilet / shower blocks really nice yet again clean 3 blocks around the lake so plenty of choice. This is a family run site and Mark is doing a superb job backed up by the rest of the family. Loved it so much going back in 2weeks time.

Disliked: A lot of wind so could not put up our gazebo. But that is not in their control so there is no dislikes.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Gatton Waters is a peaceful site, the touring pitches are set mainly around the lake where a variety of birds can be observed. The owners are helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Located in a nice area close to the North Norfolk coast and Sandringham. Toilets and Shower blocks clean and tidy. Great Fishing plenty of pegs and room. Site is well maintained.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Local attractions

Does your canine companion deserve a royal treat? Take them to Sandringham Estate (five minutes’ drive), where they can sniff their way around 243 hectares of dog-friendly parkland. Humans can also stroll or cycle along nature trails winding through oak and chestnut groves, then reward themselves with an elegant afternoon tea (book in advance). At Norfolk Lavender (15 minutes), you can feast your eyes (and nose) on fields upon fields of colourful and fragrant flowers. Informative tours explain the process of harvesting and distilling lavender oil, and you will also learn all about the various uses of this aromatic plant. Stretching along the River Great Ouse, the historic town of King’s Lynn (15 minutes) is justifiably proud of its maritime heritage, which you can explore on guided or self-guided tours that take you along narrow cobbled streets to the medieval harbour and quayside.
