  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

What customers say

Top marks for Fendicks Fishery! Lovely lakeside pitches, spotless facilities and super staff. The fishing's a big hit, and the cafe/bar is great value. Some find events/road noise a bit much, and a few reckon showers and swims could be better.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked great amenities and friendly, helpful people. Only lost a star due to a bit of road noise and to be fair that was paled by comparison to the F35 jets overhead, lol

Liked An absolutely beautiful site, fairly quiet,a few motorcycles, spoilt it, and we were moto camping ourselves, we don't fish,so can't comment on that subject, but the lakes looked really nice,the staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you..
The bar/restaurant were good,the food was okay, could be better, I definitely will come back, as this is one of the best sites,we've stayed at.thankyou.

Disliked Your mens showers,need attention, ie descaling, they squirt, everywhere,except where you want it to. 😆
And on my last night,i ordered,the baby back ribs, they weren't as hot as they should have been, I should have sent them back, entirely my fault, I don't think they were cooked fully,they tasted really nice,but something was up! At about 12.30 am,I was violently ill,in one of the toilets, it was the ribs, so to your chef, temperatures are important, especially when pork is involved, i used to work in kitchens, before I retired, so I know what I'm talking about. All in all,even after that episode, I would still like to camp again,at Fendicks. Thankyou.

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
