  • Pop-up site at a Norfolk working farm just outside the Broads
  • BeWILDerwood Norfolk 10 minutes' drive; 15 minutes to the coast
  • Home to a microbrewery with a taproom on site
A pop-up campsite with a microbrewery on site? Sounds like a fine setup, right? Well, that’s what you’ll get at The Farm Camping, part of a Norfolk working farm just outside the Broads National Park. This is a handy location for all sorts of Norfolk activities, including walking or boating around the Broads, hitting the beaches of the north coast or spending time fishing, horse riding or cycling. The nearest pub is about 10 minutes’ walk away – but you won’t have to go that far if you don’t want to, as the farm is home to the Wildcraft Brewery, which has a taproom in one of the traditional red-brick barns (and picnic tables outside for an alfresco drink on a sunny day). As a pop-up site the facilities here are fairly simple, but you’ll have access to toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a wifi connection, and you’re welcome to bring a barbecue for your meals. Dogs, families and groups are all welcome.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet spot with a handy brewery. Staff get a thumbs up, great value and location too. Some found pitches a bit tight and nettles a bother, but showers are better now, and signs are improved. A few wobbles on shower heat and loo tidiness, but sorted.

Liked The facilities at the site are very good now the estate have invested time and money this year to provide an interesting stay . The team at the wild craft brewery work hard to make your stay memorable and provide entertainment and outside traders on some weekends

Disliked Only suggestion is that in the new showers that a bench or seat especially in disabled toilet might be good.

Liked The owners were so lovely and friendly and facilities were very nice and well looked after! Not much service (I'm vodafone)/wifi but this was quite nice to unplug! And if you are camping you dont need it really! If you get stuck for wifi they do have it in the brewery though! A really relaxing and lovely stay! Thank you! X

Liked Beautiful campsite. Amazing brewery and tap room on site. Nice bbq, but would have been nicer to have a wider range than hotdogs.
Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Disliked Apparently they only open on selected times of the year, so more dates please!

Liked Good location. Nice having a bar there with food over the Weekend. Would go back if facilities improved and upgraded.

Disliked Downside of campsite no proper facilities for washing dishes or hot water outside to cater for cleaning up. There is one cold tap outside. No signs for Drinking water. And could do with more showers and maybe communal fridges for ice packs. Has a potential to be a lot better regarding facilities to make it a great campsite. It has the space to improve but just needs better investment.

From the manager: Hi Anton W

Thank you for the review and the valuable feedback.

On top of the new showers this year, we have taken your feedback on board and installed a sink for washing up, as well as a drinking water tap.

We are looking into a communal fridge/freezer facility.

Really friendly laid back owners. Great…

Disliked Bins could have been a bit easier to find and accessible! I did spot other campers piling up their rubbish bags on a random corner because the bins were tucked away behind the storage units.
