General
- Meadow site overlooking a fen on an East Anglia farm
- A 15-minute drive from Banham Zoo and Bressingham Steam & Gardens
- Off-ground firepits allowed; small World War II museum on site
From Hillside Farm Camping, you’ll be able to gather steam into Norfolk’s historic market towns, broads and countryside with an East Anglian farm as your base. This meadow site looks over a sloping fen, arable fields and a church, with the farmhouse close by. It’s certainly a good vantage point to be in, not just for the scenery, but also for the market town of Diss, Banham Zoo and Bressingham Steam & Gardens 15 minutes’ drive away.
Uniquely, this site will take you on a little tour of history if you wish, as those of you with an interest in aviation can request a viewing in the small museum on site, created in memory of the men of the 388th Bomb Group who flew B-17's from Knettishall airfield during World War II.
In a converted horse box, there are toilet and shower facilities available for guests to use. Water’s available from the tap by the house too, so that you can fill up your own cooking equipment or wash your hands ready for a barbecue (you’ll need to bring your own gas barbecue or off-ground firepit).
Well-behaved dogs have the green light here, as long as they’re kept on a lead and cleaned up after, so you should feel quite at home with all the family around. Handily, there’s a dog-friendly pub just 20 minutes’ walk away and a fish and chip shop 10 minutes the other way if that’s your cup of tea.

Please use What3Words ("pillow.moods.recliner") or Google Maps rather than the postcode, as it does not always work. Please do not turn into the lane for Fen Farm. Instead, turn into Church Road (near the Hopton village sign) from the B1111 and take the first driveway on the right into the farmyard.

We really appreciate you taking the time to leave an honest review and for providing some useful suggestions. We have asked Pitchup again to include What3Words in the directions for our site but it appears to be contrary to their rules.
For future reference the words "pillow.moods.recliner" will take you directly to our gate. Alternatively Google maps co-ordinates: 52.3689056, 0.9226863 could be used or just searching for 'Hillside Farm, Market Weston' on google maps will ensure guests arrive at the correct place.
We are really sorry you struggled to find us and we intend to provide additional signage to make it easier for future guests. We are also considering taking up most of your other suggestions. We are very glad that you otherwise enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Best wishes and happy camping,
Deborah and James
