  • Almost wild Norfolk campsite half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn
  • Brancaster Beach and Sandringham Estate 15 minutes’ drive
  • Peaceful woodland pitches with World War I trenches on site
Gather around all you World War I aficionados, for here’s a real treat. The peaceful campsite at Dreamy Hollow is set on a 7.5-acre wild woodland site home to rare Lovat Scouts trenches listed by Historic England as a site of national importance. For anyone not so interested in 20th-century history, luckily there’s lots of birdwatching and stargazing to be done on site as well. Half an hour’s drive from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, the site’s almost wild camping and hammock pitches sit amid woodland comprising mainly oak, silver birch and mature hawthorn. Part of the site was quarried during the 1940s, and this provides some sheltered and some elevated pitches of varying sizes from tiny to truly gigantic. While most of these secluded spots are family friendly, the ones close to the trenches and in the Turtle Dove conservation area are adults-only. Campfires are allowed in designated fire baskets at each pitch when fire-risk conditions allow. If you would like a campfire, the site asks that you please order logs and kindling in advance when booking. Extra seasoned wood is available to purchase on site.
