  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

What customers say

A ripper spot for anglers, with five stocked lakes. Travellers rave about the mates behind the counter, clean facilities, and the on-site pub grub. Spacious sites, a chill vibe, and decent dosh – it’s a winner. Minor gripes? Shower temp and a bit of noise now and then. All in all, a top-notch, well-kept park folks keen to revisit.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Nice area , campsite pitches are spaced out well. Restaurant and bar very good.Staff very friendly and helpful. Fishing is great with plenty of lakes to choose from.

Disliked Shower facilities need attention and l think another facility building would be a benefit for the number of people about.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked It looked really good, outdoor sinks under cover, swallows nesting above. Got our money back for electric not used. Got to pick where we camped. Great price.

Disliked Toilets, showers and sinks never clean, when “cleaned” the lady doing it barely touch them, and very rare any toilet paper in the toilets. They need checking and cleaning multiple times a day. Also it says sureounded by trees/woods, it isn’t. Its between 2 noisy busy roads, expect to listen to it.

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
