  • 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 charming, peaceful site with roomy, flat spots & helpful staff. Close to a heritage railway & walks. Facilities are basic, with cleanliness/lighting issues reported. Some weekend noise, but improvements underway. Wi-Fi lacking for some.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Trees to pitch up hammock

Disliked Very limited curfew/ anti disturb techniques at the camp. Had a coach going back and forth till midnight and had people laughing and chatting through the night. When I texted the owner they never replied at all.

From the manager: Good afternoon. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience. You came on the weekend of the Reepham festival and we supply a mini bus for our clients so they don't have to walk on the road to return home from the festival. You did contact the owner yes but he wasn't sure which site you were on or what your name was you texted him at 23.53. He also wasn't sure why you messaged him when i was on site I'm the site manager which is clearly marked. The toilets are cleaned everyday, However not at the exact same time each day! The toilets aren't and weren't leaking as that's checked at the same time as they are cleaned. Would you be able to explain how to make it more woman friendly? We do have curfews however if I'm not told that there is a problem i can't sort it out.

Nice and peacefull…

Liked Very Nice site, very quite and friendly with the free vintage railway next door.
We stayed for classic car run that was starting at the station. The owner let us keep our vans onside for a extra day as we couldn't pick them up until the afternoon. Definitely staying again. 😁😁😁😁

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked They have toilets and a shower

Disliked The aggressive welcome to what is a trailer park didn't improve the feeling that we were camping on what was otherwise the parking spot for the full time residents. We booked 3 nights but got out of there after one night.
My advice is, book one night and see what you think. There are other sights near the mariot way that wecome arrivals.

From the manager: If you could explain the aggressive welcome. What was said to you and did you have your email and pitch number ready? Once on site where you shown where everything was and did you need anything that wasn't catered for?

Liked Peace and tranquility. Lovely pub in local village

Disliked Toilets and showers not very clean, water too hot to have a proper shower.
Whitwell station bar/restaurant closed at 5pm.
Some areas on site needs a bit of tlc.

Hard pitches so not able to use awning. Only told as we were leaving thar we could have asked them for some water weights.

Site ok for a 1 or 2 night stop over.

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.
