  • 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.

Kate C.

Bantam electric grass touring pitch

Liked Located very near to Wells-Next-the-Sea.
Short drive away.
Bantam is a large grass pitch with electric hookup.
View over fields.
Lovely pub down the road, with good food (try the pies) approx. 20 min road walk- The Three Horseshoes.
Could hear the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway train during the day time which was quite nice as the track runs nearby.
Chickens free range around the campsite, but be warned a lot of them are cockerels so there was a lot of crowing, during the day & during the night….take ear plugs!!!! 🤣 🐓

Disliked No showers but this is clearly stated so was not a surprise.

Cockerel’s crowing through the night!!!

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A nice secluded campsite. Great for stargazing! Beautiful camping area with lovely ducks that marched around like security guards checking over the site. We had access to firepits and able to buy all we needed for that.

Disliked No showers on site or washing areas for pots and pans etc. There were good compost loos but unfortunately someone had blocked one of them so we stuck to using the other.

Angie T.

Silkie non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely quiet clean, no frills eco site. Nice and small site which fitted in with our quiet family perfectly. Great setting and well kept. Amazingly clear dark starry skies, which were beautiful. Composting toilet very clean and as a plant based eco family was a brilliant idea for off grid camping.

Disliked Nothing, all was fine. Yes, the cockerels wake you up and pheasants, but you are rural so what do people expect?

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.
