Old Buckenham Country Park

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.4 108 reviews

View from the covered outdoor area by the pond and the park

Well-equipped family-friendly Norfolk site over 26 acres
A 35-minute drive from Norwich and 15 minutes from Snetterton Circuit
Licensed café, large play area and lakes for fishing on site

Among 32 acres of scenic Norfolk countryside, Old Buckenham Country Park is excellent for some serious ‘you time’. The site is dedicated to enhancing its natural habitats; surrounding the lakes are numerous mature trees, hedgerows and flower-rich grasslands, with many footpaths leading around the park. The kids are welcome to unleash their energy in the play area while adults catch up in the coffee shop. The café serves coffee but also has a licensed bar, which sells tasty light bites well into the twilight hours. The café decking overlooks the lake, so it has particularly splendid views at sunset (and there's free wifi in this area too, so you can share any snaps you take…) Be sure to unwind around your firepits in the evenings too. Grab rod and reel, for anglers, too, are invited to reserve a spot for a day of family fishing or solitary reflection. The lake has an abundance of silver fish. Fish aren’t the only animals to track down either: keep your eyes peeled for chickens (on the ground, not in the sky), ducks, geese, kingfishers, swans and owls. The site is less than five minutes’ drive from the Norfolk village of Old Buckenham.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Size of pitch, the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the shower block, lovely atmosphere around the campsite,

Disliked: The cost of food at the bbq, thought it was very expensive for a campsite

The lake could do with the weed being removed and some more swims made

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)

Liked: Great facilities, beautiful setting, great cafe and atmosphere, particularly enjoyed the live music and street food.

Disliked: Family camping could be separate, as we camped next to adults drinking and swearing until late at night, which our young children were upset by.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)

Liked: The people working on the site were super friendly and helpful! And the site itself is clean and well maintained. There was a well stocked bar and cafe and some great entertainment enjoyed by all.

Disliked: There was ample room for us on our plot but the pitches are close together. Great if you are wanting pitch’s next to friends but lack of privacy or solitude of solo.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: We have stayed here a few times before and have always enjoyed the surroundings, the bonus of a bar & great food options too. We are heading back next weekend to stay with a group of friends.

Disliked: A food trailer on the Sunday would be great, instead we ate out at the local pub which was lovely.

Local attractions

Anyone keen on whisky may have found a nice spot here. The site is 10 minutes’ drive from the English Whisky Co distillery. If the vino is more appealing, it’s 35 minutes from base to Winbirri Vineyard for tours and tastings of reds, whites and sparkling wines. Thirsts quenched, turn next to Snetterton Circuit (15 minutes) where – during well-timed stays – guests can join the crowds to watch the GT Cup final, Mini races, time attack trials and fireworks. Not able to travel for a race? Have a go on the circuit yourself, with track days and training days available for cars and motorbikes. Those who prefer a slower pace to their holidays can skirt Snetterton and opt instead for leisurely days among exotic birds, ferocious beasties and peaceable pets at Banham Zoo (five minutes), or hanging about with the alpacas in the nearby town of Diss (15 minutes). In Diss, there is a leisure centre and a kids' trampoline experience for any rainy days. When some time away from rural bliss is required, a 35-minute drive will land guests in Norwich to explore castle and cathedral, stroll in stunning gardens, learn a bit about history at one of the many museums, or burn a hole in wallets with shopping at the Norwich Market or in high-street stores. And if it’s the coast calling, you’re roughly an hour’s drive from the Norfolk coast, where there are sandy beaches, arcades, scenic dog walks and, of course, plenty of ice cream stops.
