  • 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.

Butterfly shepherd's hut

Liked The setting, lovely pitches right by the lakes, (5 in all) had a walk around the site and loved the choice of cabins, shepherds huts etc. all in a beautiful setting. Lots of space for camping. Very clean and the staff were very welcoming. We used the facilities toilets and showers all clean and smelled good when entering. We indulged in the full English breakfast at Hubbles it was so good. Pub on site Rhonda’s served up a good beer too.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked Great site. Facilities are clean and well stocked. On site bar and cafe a bonus.
It's a large site and caters for all types of stays. There are also glamping pods if you want a bit of luxury. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. I personally didn't utilise the fishing lake but it's well kept and the other customers looked like they were enjoying themselves.( Swimming not allowed in the lake. Fishing only)

Disliked Be prepared for the water pressure to drop when other campers are filling up their large water barrels.

Daniel H.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked Fabulous campsite, great amenities including VERY CLEAN shower and toilets. Camping pitches were very big with room for parking. Pitches were level

Campsite is well maintained and the staff were super friendly.
Restaurant and bar on site were very nice and extremely well priced (£4.30 for a pint)

Hubby and son loved the fishing and caught some great carp

Disliked Not a lot to dislike…. Electric had to purchased when we were there (card slotted into meter at pitch)…. Although we only spent £2 all weekend so was refunded the difference

Recommend to friends Visit again

Even though we didn’t catch anything, we still had a lovely weekend.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked We have stayed in fendicks 4 times since purchasing our tourer caravan and have tried other sites but our heart will always be at fendicks.. everytime we stay we have a brilliant time fishing, spending time with family, I love that Fendick’s offer a family toilet and shower as makes it easier with my 6 month old baby 💜 lisa and staff are really friendly and accommodating and nothing is ever to much, if you haven’t stayed before don’t hesitate as the site is beautiful and if your a lover of fishing then this is the place for you x we always pitch on lake 5 so can’t comment on others but the grounds are beautiful 😍

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Toilet/shower blocks were always clean. Pitches weren't squashed in. On-site cafe was a bonus. Staff very helpful.

Disliked Wish there were electric points in the toilet block to plug in a hairdryer. Shame about the noise from the main road running down the side of the site.

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.
