Add your business details- Friendly family-run site in the nature-rich Norfolk coast area
- Three acres of grounds a mile from the seaside
- Logs for sale and wifi available; three miles away from Hunstanton
Net yourself a nifty little niche in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a trip to The Poplar's Campsite, a quiet family- and dog-friendly option.
The coastal position of this place, about a mile from said waters, certainly is key if you’re after a hol bounding around all the beaches in the area – of which there are many. Some of the most sought-after stretches of sand are at Thornham (five minutes’ drive) and Brancaster (10 minutes), plus a pub is close by on foot (10 minutes’ walk) for pints once you’re done with paddling.
A bus station is a short walk away too should you be touring the area by public transport, perhaps heading to the town of Hunstanton (10 minutes’ drive). When not travelling, lean back next to the campfire on the park’s three acres of land; logs are for sale on site to keep the blaze crackling and wifi’s available too so you can fiddle with your phone outdoors as long as you like.
Not that you’ll be wanting to spend much time on electronic devices during a stay here – the Norfolk coast has oodles to get stuck into, from birdwatching to boating. Forays on foot are also fab: hop it to Holme Dunes (10 minutes) for sandy strolls or saunter around Sandringham’s wooded paths (20 minutes).

Local attractions
The bird is the word here – avian creatures aplenty flock to the Norfolk coast, including to Holme (five minutes’ drive) and Snettisham (20 minutes). An RSPB reserve full of marshlands, reedbeds and freshwater lagoons that lure in avocets, marsh harriers and pink-footed geese is in Titchwell Marsh (10 minutes) too.
While you're there, plan wanders along the wide beach looking out across The Wash, another protected part of Norfolk, as well. More into watersports than walking? Hunstanton has a variety of pursuits to pick from, including paddleboarding and windsurfing (plus it’s also a prime place for pottering along the red and white cliffs if you haven't had enough of roams). Rainbow Park is round here too for fans of fairgrounds, while its next-door neighbour, the Sea Life Sanctuary, is a must-visit for seeing the seals, penguins and otters.
Fancy activities that are more aristocratic in theme? Check out the queen’s gaff, Sandringham (20 minutes), or mosey to manor homes like Narborough Hall (40 minutes) and the 12th-century Castle Rising ruins (25 minutes).
