  • Peaceful site in the Wensum Valley, south facing with excellent views
  • Easily explore the county from a convenient mid-Norfolk setting
  • Plenty of fishing, walks and cycle paths locally
If you’re in real and urgent need of a peaceful getaway, then a stay at Bylaugh Country Park should do the job. It might be close to civilisation – the town of Dereham is within 10 minutes’ drive and Norwich is half an hour away – but the quiet and secluded site in the Norfolk countryside should still give you all the escape you need. This part of Norfolk is paradise for walkers and cyclists, as it's well placed for exploring the county. You can join Marriott’s Way footpath, cycle path and bridleway about 10 minutes from Bylaugh Country Park, or follow its entire length by starting in Aylsham, less than half an hour away. The red route of Norwich’s Pedalways cycle path network is also within easy reach. When you’re feeling peckish, head to one of the many restaurants within 10 minutes of the site or fire up the barbecue for a home-cooked meal; pick up supplies from the small on-site shop or from the village of North Elmham, five minutes' drive drive away. Handily, North Elmham also has a popular fish and chips shop. Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, relax in the peace and quiet, looking out over the Wensum Valley and the quiet Norfolk countryside.

What customers say

Beautifully maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite with exceptionally well-kept facilities. Campers love the spacious sites, friendly, helpful owners, and family-friendliness. Great for exploring North Norfolk, it has a delightful atmosphere with wildlife and occasional entertainment. WiFi can be spotty.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Very quiet, the showers were hot and both showers & toilets extremely clean.
Also cater for disabled. There are 3 fridge freezers, microwave, ironing board & iron also washing machines.
Children can enjoy the field with football goals and lots of slides for the smaller children. There is an undercover area and bar with plenty of seating

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Neat and tidy place, well-kept and well-provided amenity block.

Disliked Sharing my tent with a remarkably large number of bad-tempered ants, which also got in all my gear. To be fair to them, I had accidentally pitched right on top of Antropolis, not that it was at all apparent.

Powered grass campsite

Liked The site was very quiet and the showers and toilets were spotless. It is an excellent sure which has good routes to north norfolk and the coast

The shop was small but covered the basics and larger supermarkets within about 5 miles. Can thoroughly recommend. Plenty of open space and a play area for small children. WiFi a bit erratic but could usually access

Local attractions

Angling fans will be well served with a stay at Bylaugh Country Park – the Wensum river is nearby, as are several carp lakes including the Lenwade and Billingford lakes, both ripe for fishing. The Billingford Fishing Lakes are only five minutes' drive away from the site, whereas Lenwade sits 10 minutes' drive away. If a beach break is more your bag, it's a 40-minute drive to the northern coast of Norfolk, where you can explore the Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, walk the Norfolk Coast Path and visit the scenic seaside towns that line it. Head back in time with a trip on the steam trains at Mid-Norfolk Railway and Bure Valley Railway, both within 30 minutes of the site, or by visiting the stately homes of Blickling Estate, Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall and Sandringham, all within 40 minutes of Bylaugh. There’s plenty close at hand for entertaining the kids too: they can meet the wildlife at Pensthorpe Natural Park, run wild at BeWILDerwood or get their own taste of history at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure. If they’re up for a slightly longer jaunt in the car, you can all get your adrenaline pumping on the rides at Pleasurewood Hills theme park.
