In search of somewhere within easy reach of family days out? That’s certainly one of the selling points of Applewood Countryside Park – this family-friendly 13-acre Norfolk site is right next door to Banham Zoo, which is home to around 2,000 animals from around the world. That’s certainly a good start – and there’s plenty more nearby too, as this site is well set for all sorts of attractions for all ages, including forest walks, National Trust properties and a long list of excellent child-friendly activities. On a more practical front, it’s also handily just a few minutes’ walk from Banham’s village amenities, which include a pub, convenience store, takeaway and butcher (a useful one for bits to load on your barbecue). This isn’t a place that relies solely on its location to win points, though – there’s also a good collection of facilities right here. Kids will be able to let off steam at the adventure play park, play trail and covered games den, and there’s a mile-long woodland nature trail for them to explore (it makes a good place for dog walking, too). On the practical front, facilities include a laundry area, a chemical disposal point, a wifi connection and modern bathroom blocks with two fully accessible/family bathrooms.

Positiv Small well equipped family campsite. A small supermarket, butcher and pub are in short walking distance.

Negativ You can hear animals from the zoo during the night, this can be quite adventurous for some people, a bit less for others. They are not too loud anyway.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed our well-equipped family campsite and the convenience of having local amenities just a short walk away.

As for the sounds from the nearby zoo, we like to think it adds a unique touch to the experience. For many guests, hearing the occasional animal call at night creates a memorable holiday atmosphere and a little extra sense of adventure. We're pleased to hear that the sounds were not too loud and appreciate your balanced perspective. We hope to welcome you back for another wild and wonderful stay! 🦁🌙

Grasbewachsener Stellplatz mit Stromanschluss (XL)

Positiv I like the set up of the site, the bathrooms were clean and tidy, nice large pitches. Friendy staff. Open spaces, food wagons arrival on sone nights, lots fir children to do with different players grounds.

Negativ Not much to dislike, our pitch was dog friendly, but it had two lots of dog mess on it, I am a dog owner and wouldn't leave dog mess on the pitch, also there was a lot of little bits of rubbish egg shells paper plastic I just felt that it was the occupiers of the pitch before not cleaning up before they left. But pitches should be checked

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review and for highlighting our spacious pitches, clean facilities, friendly team, open spaces, food vans, and play areas.
We're sorry to hear your pitch wasn't as clean as expected on arrival. All pitches are checked following departures and regularly inspected throughout the day, but on this occasion it appears we missed some debris, and we apologise for that.
As a dog-friendly park, we ask that all dogs are kept on leads and that owners clean up after their pets, with several dog waste bins available around the park for guest use.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back to Applewood again soon.

Grasbewachsener Stellplatz mit Stromanschluss

Positiv We had a fantastic stay at Applewood Countryside Park. The site was very well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing camping trip.

The children’s play area was brilliant and kept the kids entertained, and we loved exploring the woodland trail with all the games and activities along the way. It’s also a very dog-friendly site, although we left our dog at home this time.

One of the highlights was the location right next to the zoo. It was incredibly convenient to walk over, and in the evening we could hear the animals making all sorts of interesting sounds, which added to the experience.

We also liked that there was the option of a later check-out for those who wanted a more relaxed departure, even though we didn’t use it ourselves.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and relaxing break.

Grasbewachsener Stellplatz mit Stromanschluss

Positiv The whole experience at Applewood was delightful. The whole site was very well maintained and well set out. The showers and toilet facilities were very clean and the washing up area was good with plenty of hot water, but there was only 2 sinks. Whilst not being a problem when we were there, maybe when the site was full there could be. The staff were very helpful and friendly, they cleared up our pitch hiccup on arrival in a very professional manner.

Positiv Clean site & plenty of space. The zoo next door is very good.

Negativ Pitchup messed up the booking. We go camp a lot & been here before but it’s changed & was like being at school with all the rules. Some staff was willing to help

Freunden empfehlen Erneut besuchen

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us again. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the clean, spacious park and your visit to the zoo next door.

We're sorry there was some confusion with the booking on arrival. We did our best to accommodate both bookings; however, the tents were larger than the pitch type reserved, which meant we needed to ensure the correct spacing between units was maintained. While we appreciate this may have been frustrating, these spacing requirements are in place to help keep all our guests safe and comfortable during their stay.

We're grateful for your understanding and are pleased that our team were able to assist where possible. We hope that, despite the initial hiccup, you had an enjoyable visit and we look forward to welcoming you back to Applewood again soon.

Positiv Showers were good, and camp site was clean

Negativ The he pitches are massive however we were told our tent was too big.
I felt like I was at school with a person with a clipboard kept coming around and checking on us. 5pm we were asked to turn our music down as there was too must base in the music. My little speaker wasn’t even half way up. We ended up leaving a day early.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found the site clean and enjoyed the shower facilities.

We're sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We did our best to accommodate your party on arrival; however, the pitch size booked was not suitable for the size of the tents, and we needed to ensure the correct spacing was maintained for the safety and comfort of all guests on the park.

Our team regularly checks around the park to offer support where needed and help ensure everyone has an enjoyable stay. As part of this, we occasionally speak with guests regarding site guidelines to help maintain a relaxed and comfortable environment for all.

We're sorry to hear you chose to leave early and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We wish you all the best with your future camping adventures.

Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe

Banham Zoo will surely be the first port of call for a lot of guests here – all it takes is a five-minute walk and you’ll be meeting primates, big cats, reptiles and all sorts of other exotic beasts. There are also indoor and outdoor play areas, a safari road train and a busy programme of activities to join in with. For more family days out, take a look at the adventure courses of Go Ape Thetford (25 minutes’ drive), the dinosaur-themed attractions of ROARR! (45 minutes) or the safari activities of Africa Alive animal park (an hour). The classic fairground rides and steam trains of Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens (15 minutes) are popular too – and the museum is also home to the national Dad’s Army collection for a taste of wartime life. If you don't have kids with you, you may like to turn your attentions to places like the cathedral and castle in Norwich (40 minutes) or National Trust properties like Oxburgh Estate (40 minutes) and Ickworth (45 minutes). There’s also the option of a whisky tour at The English Distillery (15 minutes).
