  • 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.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Lovely site, very friendly, great to have places to walk the dog from the site and also be able to take the dog in the bar.
Showers and toilets lovely and clean.

Disliked Nothing was an issue at all.
Be good to have reserve sign placed on if pitches already booked, but is very minor detail.

Lavender cabin

Liked The Lavender Cabin was beautiful and spacious enough for 2 people. The grounds and lakes were lovely and well maintained. Fishing was plentiful, we tried two different lakes whilst there and caught mixture of common Carp, Mirror Carp and Catfish. Will definitely be back.

Disliked WiFi wasn't working due to a fire of one of the electrical points in the grounds. Some of equipment in the cabin could do with being replaced as they weren't working great and not very clean.
The BBQ wasn't cleaned, I had to scrub it before it could be used. The gate to the cabin was buckled and difficult to shut.

Matt C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked What a wonderful place ! We were asked which pitch we would like - then later we changed our minds. But that didn't matter to them, they just moved us to one more suitable and helped us - so kind.
The restaurant was busy but despite that we were well looked after, again nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious, freshly made to order and arrived all together despite there being 7 of us. When we left a tip the staff came to tell us we had overpaid - very impressed with their honesty.
The site was full and we expected noise but it was so peaceful.
Can't recommend highly enough, we will definitely be back 🥰

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.
