  • 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.

Liked This was our first time at the site and we knew straight away that we’d be booking to come back again.
Staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. Pitch size was large and even, everyone was spaced out so we had a lot of room and privacy.
The toilets and showers were fantastic, so clean and looked after. The whole site is very well maintained and we had no complaints at all, it’s so clean and tidy.
In reception there is a shop which has the bits you’d need or maybe forgot to pack and the price is the same as a supermarket so they’re not extortionate. You can also buy tea and coffee there.
We had our dogs with us which were also welcomed and there are some lovely walks around the site. Looking forward to coming back again!

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Stay at Bylaugh Country Park!

We had an incredible time at Bylaugh Country Park and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The site was easy to find, and from the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming.

The facilities were superbly clean — probably some of the best we’ve seen at any campsite. The team was incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout our stay.

The park itself is a real gem. There are lovely short walks around the grounds that are perfect for a peaceful stroll or just soaking in the scenery. It’s a relaxed and enjoyable environment that makes it easy to switch off and truly unwind.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, well-kept, and friendly camping getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Liked Greeted with a warm welcome and shown our pitches, lovely staff. The site is very peaceful as described and the shower and toilet facilities absolutely 5 star, best we have experienced in over 20 trips. Pitch sizes are very good, rows of trees break up the area, very picturesque. Very clean site and will definitely return.

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.
