Old Buckenham Country Park

Everything!!! Lovely quite location, beautiful setting. Please infinite previous reviews on the facilities as there is a brand new shower block.
Kids loved the animals and freedom to play around the area. New gazebo at the bar was amazing and even late October provided a warm feel for a few drinks on a Friday night.

We loved the site so not anything we could find to grumble about

Our new favourite place!!!

I stayed here for 2 nights with my 12 year old son and our dog. The site has lots of open space for dog walking and playing football etc... It has a very relaxed atmosphere, which was lovely. The toilets and showers are very rustic, but clean and fully functional. The cafe is quirky and cosy and run by a lovely lady. It was great to have somewhere to go in the evening for a drink, when it was cold, wet and dark outside. We will definitely be returning in the spring/summer months.
This is functional, relaxed camping! If you’re looking for somewhere with spotless facilities and all the mod cons then maybe not for you.

When booking the pitch, it was described as grass and gravel. Unfortunately, it was just very wet grass. We had no option but to drive on and got stuck straight away. Luckily we didn’t intend on leaving for a couple of days.

I was assured that someone would tow us out, but luckily, as we left, all of our very kind neighbours helped to push us out.

Nice friendly staff ,lovely setting with good walks ,asked to be pulled of grass due to amount of rainfall ,staff were there in a flash to assist with a machine ,nice clean utility’s .

Large pitch

Booked grass/ gravel pitch but on arrival no gravel pitches anywhere on site .
Checked in with very nice lady in cafe as reception closed and given pitch number and no electric hook up . Went back to lady in cafe who rang a lady ,unsure who she was, unfortunately conversation on loud speaker so bit annoyed that she said " must be blind if she can't see them " .
Then had to manoeuvre car with caravan in tow back to pitch again, definitely no hook up so pitched on different site .
Could not find water source , back to cafe again, told that near by in barrel, beginning to think going mad , but definitely no barrel so filled water tank with drinking water as only water available .
Everything going ok until woken at 10 pm by a group of lads arriving in van and pitching tent with head torches, loud music and shouting.
Campsite does not appear to have any rules regarding groups and latest time to arrive .
I felt sorry for the Lady in the cafe as she did her best but did not appear to have much idea about facilities and person in charge had no customer service.
Will not visit again.

The animals and friendly host

The toilet and shower block wasn’t cleaned

The dog liked running around, large space.

friendly staff.

- Grab rod and reel, prepare for some serious ‘you time’, and park up for a few days at Old Buckenham Country Park, There are two lakes to stumble upon. This is in the website. the reality is: two small ponds, completely cover in green water grass. no fish at all.
- one shower nearby and two (working part time)far away.
- a shack with cold water and just one fixed tap for 3 sinks.
- internet works occasionally
- the coffee shop open just at the weekend.
- shower and the toilet were not cleaned regularly

Friendly staff and good cafe. Will visit again

What a great site! Lovely cool relaxed atmosphere and great for kids. The toilet and shower facilities are rustic and quirky but perfectly adequate, and clean. However, if you're after modern, shiny conveniences this is not the place for you. No pot washing facilities but we managed perfectly well in our van with a kettle and washing up bowl. The WiFi didn't seem to reach our pitch and 4G is pretty non-existent, but a great excuse to get away from the world and enjoy some screen-free time! Really dark at nightime so bring a torch, but fantastic for spotting the milky way!
The kids absolutely LOVED this place, they could roam free safely, climb trees, and meet the farm animals. We were also super impressed with the onsite bar/cafe and visiting street food vans (plus the delicious breakfast rolls!). Bressingham steam and gardens nearby are definitely worth a visit, very quaint. Can't wait to visit again!

Was a very lovely site, very chilled and loved the cafe/bar area with the fire pits and twinkly lights.

Couldn’t seem to get hot water for washing up, but all clean and nice.

A very nice site, well maintained, some things a little funky, nice cafe bar area and all staff really helpful and friendly.

Not anything in my view to dislike
