  • Environmentally aware site set over six acres of Norfolk countryside
  • Five minutes' drive from North Walsham; 15 mins from Mundesley beach
  • Firewood available; 1.5 miles to Weavers' Way trail and rail station
Looking for a break that'll make you feel as free as a bird? Swoop down for a stay at Magpie Meadow, a back to basics Norfolk site with fab mega-sized pitches and far-reaching rural views. The site is also conveniently located 15 minutes’ drive from top coastal spots like Mundesley and Bacton beach. You can expect a warm welcome and relaxed vibe here – this site bills itself as 'family-friendly, dog-friendly, cat-friendly… and generally friendly'. It's also an eco-friendly place within easy reach of public transport options: those skipping the car can arrive via North Walsham railway station (20 minutes' walk), then get out and about on miles of bike-friendly trails (including the nearby Quiet Lanes Network and car-free Weavers' Way). This community-run spot is run on the basis that 'nature does it best'; as such, the site is proud that it's totally free of tarmac tracks and manicured hedges. Parts of the grounds are also gradually being rewilded with native flowers and trees, and limits on guest numbers mean that the whole middle of the meadow is always left as clear as it looks in the photos. In terms of facilities, Magpie Meadow is low on frills, with just two flushing loos, a low-impact shower, drinking water and a washing-up point provided; you're welcome to bring your own toilet with you. Barbecues are allowed here (as long as they're at least 60cm/two feet off the ground and burning charcoal only) and bundles of sustainably sourced logs are available to buy on site (although please note campfires may be banned during particularly hot and dry weather).

What customers say

Beautiful, peaceful, low-impact site with spacious, private, often wooded pitches. Campers loved the friendly owners, clean facilities, and eco-focus. Great for a back-to-basics nature escape. Some noted limited hot water/basic showers, but overall atmosphere was a highlight.

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Such a beautiful and peaceful campsite! the facilities were clean and the setting was so idyllic, will definitely love to visit again. Also really appreciated the fact that rubbish was split into recycling. The provided firepit was also such a nice touch. Pitches felt private as they were a good distance apart.

Disliked Nothing!

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Pitches are very generous size and provide plenty space between campers. The owners were very kind and accommodating. We were there as part of a hen do but we all booked our slots separately. They had a hunch we were all together and made the effort to group us all together without us mentioning. The amenities were great. Flushing toilets and sink with mirror. Showers on demand if needed.

Powered grass campsite (woodland)

Liked A truly lovely campsite. Offers a perfect hybrid between wild camping (beautiful meadow vibe) with useful and thoughtful additions (2 flushing loos, a place to wash up, electric hook up, benches, firepits etc).
The best part is it has a limited number of pitches so you aren’t on top of your neighbours. Super peaceful. Thank you Tina and James for the thought and care you have put into designing your site for people who love nature.

Primitive grass campsite (woodland)

Liked Brilliant facilities, good sized pitches, the woodland part on the pitch was absolutely amazing, especially with the bench in it to allow for extra privacy. Absolutly will go again if spaces available. Highly recommend.

Disliked Had to clear up previous occupants dog faeces (was diarrhoea so not pleasant) and also remnants of fires in woodland part on arrival

Liked Great site that is warm and welcoming. This is a no frills site as stated on the website but it has everything you need and more for a wonderful camping experience. The spacing of the pitches is spot on and even if it’s fully booked you don’t fill cramped in. Great site in a great location

Liked Everything ….
Very good campsite
Nice clean toilets and showers
Washing up area was tidy and water was nice and hot for washing dishes and roasted marshmallow residue off skewers.
Nice play area for kids
Nice little hidden bench in the woodland behind your pitch was a nice added bonus. Firepits also allowed and supplied
Had fire wood and marshmallows available to buy so that kept the kids happy

We will be back again soon

Local attractions

Touring the Norfolk countryside on foot is a top-notch pursuit, whether that involves taking a constitutional on the peaceful country lanes around the site or day-long treks along the length and breadth of the car-free Weavers’ Way (five minutes' drive). Seaside strolls can also be arranged if you settle down here; the stretch of coast between Bacton and Mundesley is particularly pleasant (both 20 minutes). Boating in the Broads is another brill bet, especially if you're curious about the area's birdlife. Wroxham (20 minutes) has several local businesses that hire out vessels for the day, but professionally organised cruises are also on offer if your rowing skills leave something to be desired. Wroxham Barns (15 minutes) is also worth dropping by – this one-stop attraction is home to a shopping village, kids’ play farm and several food outlets. Newcomers curious about the area's history can head down to Felbrigg Hall (15 minutes), a rather regal National Trust estate. The community-run Museum of the Broads (15 minutes), meanwhile, houses well-preserved examples of the craft that cruised these waters in days gone by.
