  • Peaceful adults-only site in a wildlife haven
  • Two fishing lakes with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream
  • A 10-minute stroll to Hingham with shops and a dog-friendly inn
Hoot. And (fishing) hook. Big folk, come and join the owls, hawks, red kites, muntjac deer and other local inhabitants round and about adults-only Rectory Farm Fishing and Camping Site in Norfolk. Bring your rod and licence to tackle the slippery specimens at Rectory Farm’s two fishing lakes, filled with mostly carp and tench, and smaller shoals of roach, rudd and bream to try your hand at for a day or half-day charge. The lakes are as well maintained as the site facilities, where guests have access to toilets, showers, taps with drinking water, a fridge freezer, sinks with hot water all day and night, waste disposal point and picnic benches to take in the views. Dogs are welcome and have special areas on site for energetic walks. From Rectory Farm, it’s a safe 10-minute stroll to Hingham, with the dog-friendly White Hart inn, shops, bakers and butcher to pick up sausages and other essentials for the evening campfire.

What customers say

This adults-only, dog-friendly site offers a peaceful vibe with private pitches and great scenery. Guests loved the friendly owners, well-stocked fishing lakes, and proximity to Hingham village. Facilities are clean but basic; some noted occasional shower queues. Highly recommended for a quiet escape.

Julie C.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Well set out, loved the eco-camping tent pitches! The caravan/motor home pitches are spacious, allowing full enjoyment of this lovely farm site, with the 2 fishing lakes as a bonus. Good, clean, no-frills facilities and a laid-back vibe from Chris and Richard, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again. We loved the peace and tranquility in the daytime, and the amazing dark skies at night. No light pollution!

Disliked Nothing to dislike, we loved it!

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked This site is ideally located for the Norfolk Broads and all that Norfolk has to offer. The pitches were a good size and level. The prices were very reasonable and the grounds of the site were very well kept

Disliked Some of the facilities were dated and could do with an update such as the washing area. However I feel in fairness this is reflected in the price.

Liked Had a great welcome and was offered a selection of pitches.

Lovely scenery and polite and quiet campers all round.

Disliked There is a working farm near by and a busy road so can be a little noisy.

Toilet and shower facilities are quite basic and can be busy.

P.s. I have stayed here before and would come back again

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked What a beautiful site!
On entry we were greeted by the pretty fishing lake and ducks with their ducklings, and then the friendly owner who gave us a run down of our choice of pitches. The site is a lovely mix of conventional hard standing and grass pitches, as well as more wild and secluded pitches nearer the back of the site. We were lucky enough to have a huge wild area all to ourselves. We really enjoyed the relaxed attitude without loads of rules written up everywhere, and still everyone was respectful of each other and the site.
The toilet and shower facilities were clean - never busy when I went to use them. There are washing machines and a kitchen on site too.

It was a pleasant walk into Hingham and to the pub, we enjoyed a nice walk around the town.

Disliked Nothing, I would definitely go back and highly recommend if you love a quiet, basic and well kept campsite

Local attractions

Once you’ve put down the fishing rod, head to Hingham with the camera to snap some shots of very fashionable houses: Hingham’s popularity with posh Georgians who came here in the 18th-century led to the town being labelled Little London. The eastern side of the market place is said to have the best collection of Georgian houses in Norfolk, perfect for pics and a possible rant about 21st-century property prices (buy a motorhome instead). From Hingham, it’s about 17 miles east to Norwich, Norfolk’s capital town and filled with a capital amount of attractions such as England’s biggest six-day indoor market, the greatly-sized Gothic fountain at the Plantation Garden and the ‘Norwich 12’, 12 listed buildings in the city including stupendous Norwich Cathedral. Keep driving your way east to reach the Norfolk Broads: their 125 miles of navigable waterways are where to go in Norfolk for all things boat, whether you want to try a guided river trip to wildlife spot, hire a boat to drift lazily down the water or take out a canoe for placid paddling. The Broads have several good angling lakes to pick from too, or try sea fishing off the beach from Sea Palling round to the coast at Great Yarmouth. A 45-minute drive from Rectory Farm will bring you to the gorgeous beaches of the north Norfolk coast and the 45 miles of the North Norfolk Coastal Path, going from Hunstanton to Cromer via Wells and Blakeney in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
