  • Peaceful Norfolk site on the outskirts of Warham village
  • Five minutes’ drive to Wells-next-the-Sea; Holkham Beach 10 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches 20 minutes’ walk from a good local pub
Wondering where to take your next family break? Wonder no more; just book your pitch at North Norfolk’s Grove Farm Campsite, a small, quiet spot on the outskirts of the flint-built village of Warham. Low-key, peaceful and calm, the site is nevertheless handy for strolls to the local pub, dog walks in the Norfolk Coast National Landscape wetlands (10 minutes’ drive), days out on the beach (and harbour tours) at Wells-next-the-Sea (five minutes) and visits to stately homes or ancient forts. There is a bus stop just a short walk away, and the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway is less than five minutes’ walk away from the site. The two pitching fields (the tourer pitches have electric hook-ups, the tent pitches do not) have countryside views and are sheltered by mature trees. On sunny afternoons, red kites are often spotted soaring above the meadows, and in the evening, you may get lucky enough to catch a glimpse of deer grazing in the meadows. There are firepits for hire (and logs for sale) on site. Barbecues are permitted for family meals on site, but if you’re looking to eat out, take a 20-minute stroll (mostly along a road) to the local pub to sample home-cooked pies, classic pub dishes and traditional Sunday roasts. There are also plenty of other eateries within a short drive of the site.

What customers say

A peaceful, well-maintained site offering spacious pitches and a back-to-nature experience. Visitors frequently praise the quiet rural location, close proximity to Wells-next-the-Sea, and the clean, eco-friendly composting toilets. The free-roaming chickens are a popular feature. Some guests noted occasional early morning noise from cockerels and the lack of showers. Manager replies indicate that issues such as bin placement, tap drainage, and toilet maintenance have been addressed.

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A small number of pitches but a spacious campsite, reasonably priced and packed with rural Norfolk charm. We enjoyed the free ranging chickens and the three Indian runner ducks who passed through in the evenings. There were plenty of picnic benches and a wonderful honesty box for firewood (£5) and matches (50p) with plenty of free firepits. The site had plenty of shade with majestic trees and a beautiful view of the countryside. The compost toilets were much discussed by our children!

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked It's so refreshing that this site doesn't go down the usual route of "line them up; tent, car, tent, car, tent, car etc". There's a lovely big field with trees and meadow areas, and you can have as much privacy as you like. Only 5 tents allowed in the area.
The compost toilets were kept clean, and to be honest, they're fine to use. Feels more authentic camping. We brought a bag of logs on the 2nd night, and used one of their firepits. Really nice, and good quality firewood (didnt need firelighters or kindling as they're always in our fire bag which we take camping).
The owners sent us a nice message on the day we arrived, with some helpful info. But they really do leave you to get on with it, unless you need help with anything. This is nice really. We've been to some campsites where the owners act like it's hi-de-hi or something, and we're not really into that.
Drinking water available on site.

Disliked The only thing I'd want (just to be able to stay for longer), is a shower.
However, for a 1 or 2 night stay, this site is perfect 👌

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful place, very peaceful. Near the Wells and Holkham beaches. Perfect for spending the night and then heading to the beach bright and early to beat the crowds.
Some people mentioned the cockerels. Yes, there seem to be a lot of them around, but they weren't too loud and just added to the great atmosphere. They definitely didn't wake me up, and I'm a light sleeper.
Stargazing at night was incredible!
Overall, I loved our stay and will definitely come again!

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The view from the campsite was stunning, short walk to the miniature railway track, nice little dog walks. Compost toilets were clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the chickens and ducks that paid us a visit. Short drive to Wells. Being an almost wildcamp experience was lovely too.

Disliked It was extremely windy during our visit and having a wide open view probably amplified that, so our tent did take quite a battering. (Campsite cant help the weather)We did buy some logs at the site to use on the fire pit, but the logs seemed a little damp and wouldn't actually catch a light.

Local attractions

Warham Camp (five minutes’ drive) is a large, circular Iron Age fort built by the local Iceni tribe on the River Stiffkey. Archaeological excavations have yielded ancient artefacts including shards of Roman pottery. For somewhat more recent history, head to Binham Priory (10 minutes), the ruins of an 11th-century Benedictine monastery. Deer roam the parkland at Holkham Hall (15 minutes), a Palladian-style mansion built in the 1700s. Its exquisitely proportioned, elegant rooms include the colonnaded Marble Hall, with a domed ceiling inspired by Rome’s Pantheon. Check out the collection of landscape paintings and the library, then hire a rowing boat to explore the pretty lake. Seaside adventures await at Holkham Beach (10 minutes), an expansive stretch of sand backed by vegetation-covered dunes that provide shelter to nesting birds such as terns and oystercatchers. There are several hides in the nearby pine grove. For more birdwatching action, walk west to the salt marshes and mud flats of Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve.
