  • Farm site half an hour’s drive from the Norfolk Broads and coast
  • Just outside Sprowston, 15 minutes from Norwich by car
  • Farm shop, wifi, coffee shop, beautician and dance studio
Travellers bound for the wide open spaces of East Anglia should home in on Plum Camping, a five-acre farm site 15 minutes' drive from Norwich that's surrounded by pick-your-own fruit orchards and 250 acres’ worth of fields and woodland. Settle in here among the plum and apple trees for a real rural feel and a handy location on the edge of the quiet town of Sprowston. Looking to make regular trips into Norwich? This spot is a five-minute walk from a bus stop where you can board regular services and be dropped right in the middle of town. Amenities on site include a farm shop, a butchery, a coffee shop, a fenced picnic area, a beautician’s and a dance studio, plus a communal kitchen and a washing-up area. Access to fridges and freezers can also generally be sorted on request, as can electric sockets for your crew's assorted gadgetry. The Norfolk coast is a top pick for walkers and is home to paths with some truly excellent views, such as the scenic trail from Cromer to Overstrand (40 minutes' drive). Inland, the Norfolk Broads’ north-eastern corner is particularly peaceful as most of the boats that cruise these waterways can't squeeze under low-lying Potter Heigham’s bridge (30 minutes). All in all, you won't find wetlands, wildlife and cosy village pubs hard to come by around here.

What customers say

A peaceful, roomy, tidy campsite with basic, clean facilities (charging points, fridge/freezer). Praised for its relaxed vibe, big pitches, and handy Norwich location. Fire pits, cafe & farm shop on site. Some minor issues (hot water, toilet locks) seem to be sorted. Spotty phone signal/Wi-Fi.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked A lovely part of the world, and a lovely x 2 night camp with Plum Camping. Soft ground for the pegs, with plenty of nature all around.

The facilities were brilliant, hot taps for washing up, loads of basins, running water for the loos. Really well done on that.

15min walk to the Racecourse pub (Castle Carvery), so I enjoy a few there.

Disliked A touch too busy for my liking - clearly a popular spot. Quite cramped in between pitches, with a few inconsiderate kids tearing about the place.

On the second night a few families had left which gave a bit more breathing space.

Raiders Cider and the Farm Shop were all closed. Was gutted - though, not the fault of the host.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent stay.

Dann funktionierte das komplette Wasser im Nichttrinkwasserbereich gar nicht mehr, ausgerechnet am Bankholidayweekend. Auf eine Email wurde nicht geantwortet.

Local attractions

Pitch up, stroll next door to Sprowston Manor Hotel, Golf and Country Club (a few minutes’ walk) and you're set for a day of pleasant putting on a well-kept 18-hole course. For some classy spectator sports, meanwhile, you might like to amble in the direction of Castle Carvery Racecourse (15 minutes' walk) and watch jockeys and horses vying for that all-important first place. Norwich (15 minutes' drive or about half an hour on public transport) is a regional hub of food, culture and ornate architecture, with the undisputed highlight of that final category being the city's well-preserved Norman cathedral. Families with active younger members may appreciate such proximity to town too, as it means easy access to kid-pleasing attractions like bowling alleys, a snowsports centre and Whitlingham Country Park (all within 20 minutes), where there's bucketloads of space for frisbee, ball games and the like. Heading to the seaside is another obvious option: Sea Palling beach (30 minutes) and Waxham beach (35 minutes) are both sandy and have a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, while Blakeney National Nature Reserve (50 minutes) has wilder stretches of shoreline and seal colonies to scout out.
