  • Award-winning, peaceful rural site 15 minutes from Fakenham
  • Pitches and main facilities all wheelchair accessible
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Norfolk coast
The kilns may be old but the facilities – them’s all set for the 21st century. In fact, The Old Brick Kilns has got things so well sorted it’s even won awards for its offerings. All your everyday needs have been considered by the thoughtful folk at this peaceful rural site: there's a launderette that takes card payments, a tourist info point stacked with handy pointers and first-rate washrooms with underfloor heating. The shop’s shelves are filled with various essentials and treats, and you can call in a day ahead to order warm bread and fresh croissants for a leisurely breakfast. If you’re here at the right time, site staff can sort your evening drinks too: the bar is open on certain nights, with ales and ciders up for grabs. Should you choose to lounge about on site for a bit (as indeed you should…) there are wildflower meadows to skip through and a fishing pond that you’re welcome to dangle your rod into for a small charge. A playground, table tennis and games room are all on hand for the entertainment of small people. This nifty Norfolk location, 15 minutes from Fakenham, has you well placed for all sorts of outings too – beaches, nature reserves and stately homes are all within a half-hour drive. Guests travelling with wheelchairs or buggies will be chuffed to note that this is a pleasingly accessible site, with plenty of ramps and firm pathways to aid manoeuvres around the place.

What customers say

Grand spot, spotless and quiet. Top-notch loos and showers, dead sound staff. Lovely grounds, plenty of room. Barney's Bar gets a nod for grub and craic. Minor Wi-Fi grumbles and a tight lane, but mostly brilliant, people are keen to head back.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (adults only)

Liked Wonderful site, immaculately clean facilities. Very friendly staff. Great walks for Bert our dog. Stayed on the Adult only section.but had a great walk around the site and would be very happy to stay anywhere on the site. Had a meal from the bar one night, great value for money and delicious food. Ordered fresh bread and pastries from the shop for the next morning. Will be back.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The camp was really good, lovely clean showers and toilet block.

Disliked The bar for hot food and drinks is closed on a Thursday. This was the day we arrived with our tent and expected a hot meal. It's a very remote location so no local places to go to eat. We weren't made aware the bar was closed before arriving. Also, the shop was very sparse and no chilled wine or beers. Very limited in ghe shop.

Excellent site , I’d definitely recommend and I’ll be returning back

Local attractions

The good folk of Norfolk know a thing or two about gorgeous coastlines, so it’s highly recommended that you bag a bit of beach time while you’re here: the great sandy swathes at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both about half an hour away by car. With coast comes wildlife, and the places to find creatures around here are the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) and the boat trips that leave Morston Quay (20 minutes) to see England’s biggest seal colony, which hangs out on or around Blakeney Point. It’s not all about the coast, however – inland’s got plenty of treats to offer too: give the Queen a wave at Sandringham (half an hour’s drive), wander through 100 acres of fragrant lavender fields in Heacham (35 minutes) and sniff out some history at medieval Walsingham (15 minutes) or the stately homes Blickling Estate and Houghton Hall (both 25 minutes).
