  • Award-winning, peaceful rural site 15 minutes from Fakenham
  • Pitches and main facilities all wheelchair accessible
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Norfolk coast
The kilns may be old but the facilities – them’s all set for the 21st century. In fact, The Old Brick Kilns has got things so well sorted it’s even won awards for its offerings. All your everyday needs have been considered by the thoughtful folk at this peaceful rural site: there's a launderette that takes card payments, a tourist info point stacked with handy pointers and first-rate washrooms with underfloor heating. The shop’s shelves are filled with various essentials and treats, and you can call in a day ahead to order warm bread and fresh croissants for a leisurely breakfast. If you’re here at the right time, site staff can sort your evening drinks too: the bar is open on certain nights, with ales and ciders up for grabs. Should you choose to lounge about on site for a bit (as indeed you should…) there are wildflower meadows to skip through and a fishing pond that you’re welcome to dangle your rod into for a small charge. A playground, table tennis and games room are all on hand for the entertainment of small people. This nifty Norfolk location, 15 minutes from Fakenham, has you well placed for all sorts of outings too – beaches, nature reserves and stately homes are all within a half-hour drive. Guests travelling with wheelchairs or buggies will be chuffed to note that this is a pleasingly accessible site, with plenty of ramps and firm pathways to aid manoeuvres around the place.

What customers say

This campsite is well-kept & very clean, with great facilities like modern, heated washrooms. Campers love the friendly staff, roomy sites, and quiet vibe. Barney's Bar & the shop are a hit. Good rural spot for exploring, though the lane in can be narrow. Occasional Wi-Fi trouble & bar hours were minor mentions.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Everything, amenities excellent and spotlessly clean, very friendly people, great location.
Really lovely site. Good dark skies, so great for the meteor shower on 12 August.
No dislikes, the it's 9 rather than 10 because if you prefer to camp with no electric hookup there are not many pitches, so you need to book well in advance.
Would definitely return and recommend.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked The location is peaceful. Our pitch though initially looking a bit daunting was actually well placed allowing a degree of shelter from the scorching weather. We travelled as a family group with another caravan which was pitched behind rather than beside us and that worked well.

Disliked The long narrow approach lane is a bit worrying but tuyrned out to be no problem

Recommend to friends Visit again

A lovely site, easy to get to the coast. Well worth a visit.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite (pull-thru)

Liked Lovely site, very clean, generous pitches and a small bar on site made a nice touch. Whilst we were there they had a local band and catering van come for evening entertainment which was a lovely evening.

Disliked Only 2 toilets (in the ladies) in the small facilities block at the top of the site for a large number of pitches, so they were VERY busy. Disabled facilities were a trek to the other end of the site and appeared to be a bit forgotten with cleaning. The main toilet block had a dreadful smell of drains every time you went in.

Local attractions

The good folk of Norfolk know a thing or two about gorgeous coastlines, so it’s highly recommended that you bag a bit of beach time while you’re here: the great sandy swathes at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both about half an hour away by car. With coast comes wildlife, and the places to find creatures around here are the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) and the boat trips that leave Morston Quay (20 minutes) to see England’s biggest seal colony, which hangs out on or around Blakeney Point. It’s not all about the coast, however – inland’s got plenty of treats to offer too: give the royals a wave at Sandringham (half an hour’s drive), wander through 100 acres of fragrant lavender fields in Heacham (35 minutes) and sniff out some history at medieval Walsingham (15 minutes) or the stately homes Blickling Estate and Houghton Hall (both 25 minutes).
