  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendick's Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendick's Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

Campground praised for friendly staff, clean facilities, and beautiful lake views. Great for fishing and families. On-site cafe/bar popular. Some note road noise & need for better fishing spot accessibility.

Cabin

Liked What a beautiful cabin set in beautiful surroundings! Thoroughly enjoyed staying here with my 2 small dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. The cabin had all the basics you needed and a nice hot shower, lovely comfy soft bed too! If I was there for any longer I would have liked to have got to try the cafe onsite as that looks fab! The cabins are well spaced out from each other so your not overlooked at all. Ample parking and you get a good look at one of the fishing ponds on your drive round, the fishing looked really popular. Where the cabins are situated you don’t get bothered by anyone and are just surrounded by these huge old pine trees - just beautiful.

Thetford Forest is only a 20 minute drive away and that has some spectacular walks. There is a large cafe and toilets on site. Plenty of activities there too that need pre-booking. Great for kids and dogs.

Disliked Unfortunately the heating severely lacked any ‘oomf’. Despite changing settings and even boosting it wouldn’t get above about 16 degrees and it was uncomfortably cold. Waking up each morning to it barely reaching 14 degrees.
The gas canisters were even changed after my first night there and that didn’t help. The neighbours next to me came over and had the same complaints. So make sure in this cold weather to bring ample warm clothing and an extra blanket to put over the bed of a nighttime.

The other issue I found was despite being dog friendly cabins, they are not dog safe for smaller breeds in the garden area. There’s a sizeable gap that runs the entire length of the building in which they can squeeze under and get out into the field. I couldn’t just let the dogs out to the loo, I’d have to go out and stand guard each time between the dogs and the cabin to make sure they didn’t get under it. I have attached a photo so you can see, although I took this at nighttime so you can’t see the field the other side like you can during the daytime.

All it needs is an extra plank of wood screwing to the base of the cabin and then it would be absolutely perfect and very safe! A nice minor fix.

The Norfolk Horn shepherd's hut

Liked Everything, accommodation was perfect, so cozy and comfy, very clean and well equipped for what we needed and close to the toilet/showers and washing up facilities and Hubbles/Rondos with a gorgeous view of the lake. This was our 3rd stay at Fendicks and it never disappoints.

Liked Another great stay at Fendicks. Owners and staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you. Hubbles and Rondo’s are a great addition. Food and drinks are tasty and reasonably priced. The whole site is well kept and a great place to stay even if you’re not into fishing.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We have stayed there before in a cabin. This was my Grandson’s first ever camping trip, we used the Campervan this time with an awning and paid extra for an electric hook up.
We pitched near Lake 5 close to to the Toilet/Shower block.
This was an ideal location for us.

Reception staff are very friendly and well organised

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
