What customers say
Peaceful eco-campsite with private pitches in a wildflower meadow. Spotless facilities, friendly owners, and a back-to-basics vibe. Cold showers are basic, but the ethos and space for kids are great. Ideal for coast and Broads. Highly recommended relaxing getaway.

We look forward to seeing you all back for a return visit to magpie meadow
Great site with lovely facilities, close to town but felt very rural
Unpowered grass site (woodland)
Liked Quiet campsite. Private , spacious pitch. Friendly and helpful owner. Lovely, clean toilets and wash up area. Plenty of activities.
Disliked Not so much disliked but would have preferred a more traditional shower set up with water heated in some way - maybe solar panels?, especially if we were staying more than a couple of nights.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review . As we are a low impact campsite we do steer away from the traditional shower block set up . Most of our campers who book for a long stay find the showers more than adequate for their stay .
We are always on hand to demonstrate how the showers work if our campers are having problems.
It makes our campers very aware of the amount of water which can get wasted on the touch of a button in traditional homes and campsites .
Hope to see you back at Magpie meadow soon

Powered grass site (woodland)
Liked Super back to nature camping (almost)
My son booked this and asked if we wanted to go with them. We have a caravan.
Good location, friendly owners. Large pitches and plenty of free space.
We didn’t know what to expect as used to club sites but more than happy here.
Basic facilities but clean and well looked after. Kids loved it and so did dog.
Disliked No hot water but not a problem as electric hook-up and caravan overcame it.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are very different to club sites so it sounds like we the opposite to the sites you normally use . ( thank you for giving the wild low impact camping a go )
Bearing this in mind it sounds like you enjoyed your stay with your family and found our facilities
Clean and well looked after.
We aim for children and adults to experience the back to nature camping experience, with little impact to the environment. With this in mind some luxuries like hot water at the moment aren’t supplied by the site .
We do have the electric hook ups for campers who would like a touch more luxury.
Hope to see you back

Powered grass site (woodland)
Liked Location, clean facilities, space around pitches.
Owners lovely
Disliked Cold water showers so we filled the pump with our own warm water mix
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Great review thank you .
As we are a low impact campsite our showers do require campers to supply warm water for them or opt for the natural cold shower.
We do break away from the very traditional campsites at Magpie meadows , wild camping with very low impact.
We aim to provide very clean functional facilities and a space in which children and adults can enjoy the beautiful meadow and the north Norfolk countryside
Many thanks for visiting us see you back at Magpie meadow

Liked Space, eco friendly nature of it, location, the welcome
Disliked Nothing dramatic. Hooks in back of toilet doors could do with being a different colour as didn’t see them and hit my head.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review .
It’s great to hear you loved our eco friendly low impact campsite.
We are very fortunate to have a great location in the centre north Nofolk with easy access to the beautiful coast and so close to the broads and other great attractions . We are within walking distance via an off road public footpath to the historic market town of North Walsham .
We will definitely look into the colour of the coat hooks !
See you back soon
