  • Welcoming site next to Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station
  • In the countryside, half an hour’s drive from Norwich and The Broads
  • Station bar-restaurant and museum on site; access to Marriott’s Way
Staying in lush green Norfolk countryside sounds pretty appealing on its own. However, add in a heritage railway station with a museum and a bar-restaurant and things get even more attractive. Set next door to the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, Whitwell Station Campsite is a welcoming rural site with direct access to the station, where there are daily departures, a bar-restaurant with a rear garden and access to the Marriott’s Way walking and cycling path. Rural this site may be, but it’s also well within reach of a few other key Norfolk attractions. First of all, it's within half an hour’s drive of the city of Norwich, as well as The Broads National Park, a scenic place to walk or take a boat trip. If you'd rather find your own way, hire a canoe or kayak at Salhouse Broad (also half an hour's drive) to look for wildlife and paddle as far as Horning or Wroxham. From Whitwell Station Campsite, you're also poised to get out to the Norfolk coast. Start by nosying around Cromer pier or the Sheringham Priory Maze and Gardens before heading to Blakeney to try crabbing from the quay or take a boat trip to see the local grey seal colonies. All of these options are a little over a half-hour drive away. Back at base, the park has well-maintained amenities suited to a weekend break or family holiday, including toilets and showers.

What customers say

A tranquil, smaller campground with generous hardstanding sites providing power and water. Visitors loved the peaceful vibe, attentive staff, and affordable eats at the clubhouse and local pub. Some noted ongoing work, with occasional cleanliness concerns for washrooms. Management is addressing lighting and water pressure.

 Lesley E. 1 review

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Pleasant, quiet area.

Disliked Prior to arrival we were emailed and advised that we were on pitch 11. On arrival, pitch 11 was a hard standing with a caravan already on it, so if we had have gone on that pitch we would have been a meter away from that caravan. There is no reception, so we phoned the site manager who arrived swiftly and said there had been a mistake and he directed us to the correct pitch. The water tap wasn’t working on the pitch and the neighbouring pitches, the water spurted out, so it was impossible not to get wet. The electric hook up wasn’t working, so we were advised to use the socket on the next pitch. During our stay the man on the next pitch advised us that he was metered for the hook up we were using, so he was being charged for the electric we were using. He spoke to the site manager to resolve this.
There was one shower, two toilets and a urinal. My partner used the toilet on the Friday afternoon, when he went over to the toilets the next morning, they hadn’t been cleaned and there was no toilet roll. This is completely unacceptable. Toilets should be cleaned regularly. When using the shower, the water didn’t drain away, so we were standing in about 4 inches of water.
The site needs a good tidy up in order to keep up with other sites. We won’t be going there again.

Local attractions

What's worthy of the first stop on your Norwich break? You might as well make it the lively city of Norwich (half an hour’s drive), which is packed to the brim with shops, pubs, theatres, museums and historic sites like the castle and cathedral. Stop by Pulls Ferry, a former ferry house with a 15th-century watergate, to see the route along which the stone was sent to the Norwich Cathedral building site. Norwich ghost walks, which have been up and running since 1998, will take you around the city’s most ‘haunted’ sites. If you’re keen to tick off a few beaches as you make your rounds, some worthy places to consider are the dunes in Holkham (40 minutes) or West Runton (35 minutes), where prehistoric bones have been found. Viewing platforms among the dunes at Horsey Gap (55 minutes) also give you a chance of spotting the area’s grey seal colony. There are lots of museums and National Trust properties around these parts, too. The National Trust’s Sheringham Park (half an hour) has woodland walks where lucky folks can spot wildlife like red deer and firecrest. Sandringham Estate (45 minutes), used as a holiday escape for royals, has spectacular gardens and Jacobean-style architecture.
