  • Farm site just north of Norwich
  • Seven acres of flat and well-drained land
  • Communal covered firepit area
Reach for the skies and enjoy a stopover at Top Farm Caravan and Camping Site where you can experience dizzy new heights among the woodland of the Norfolk countryside. The aptly-named farm is just north of Norwich in the small town of Marsham, 20 minutes from the pretty Norfolk coast. It’s been owned by generations of the same family and you’ll feel on top of the world during your stay: seven acres of well-drained, flat land and views of the Norfolk countryside to make for some very happy guests... Keep your feet on the ground with a stroll into the woodlands of Marsham Heath, which back on to the campsite. Top-notch facilities include a dishwashing area and a well-maintained toilet block with an equally well-looked after separate shower block, all with plenty of hot water. A chemical waste disposal point, fridge/freezer and a communal covered area with firepit and chiminea are also ready for guests to use.

Local attractions

Wave hi to north Norfolk’s seafronts and lap up the entertainment you’ll find for all. Less than half an hour from the coast, the five beaches closest to Top Farm will all have you diving in feet first to their top-quality bathing water. You’ll be on just the right track with little locomotive enthusiasts as you chug along to the Bure Valley Railway - Norfolk’s longest 15-inch gauge line. The 18-mile round trip runs from Aylsham to Wroxham and back and you can get aboard at either stop (each are around 30 minutes in the car north or south of Top Farm). Controllers-in-the-making will be steaming with delight as they spot the wildlife in the rivers and meadows along the way; the cycle and walking trail which runs alongside the line is a rail treat too. Go wild at BeWILDerwood 13 miles away, for a creepy-crawlingly good day: this is the Norfolk Broads as you’ve never seen before... from treehouses to tricky tunnels and storybook characters young bookworms will be wriggling to meet, the intriguing characters hanging around the BeWILDerwood forest put an interesting ‘folk’ into Norfolk, and kids will be desperate to get exploring. Thorpe Marshes is 30 minutes south by car where you can spy species of damsel- and dragonfly and Cockshoot Broads, around half an hour to the east, is brilliant for birdspotters. A 15-minute drive northward is Blickling, a National Trust property which will have historians hankering to find out more about the area. The Muddy Boots café on site means everyone’s invited for a scone, no matter how you get there…

Cabin

Liked: The host was a lovely man; Clive. Really friendly, very welcoming and understanding. It was just me (single mum) and my two boys (3&6). He was very helpful when I needed equipment or facilities. The cabin is basic - microwave, kettle, table and chairs. It was enough for us to get by.

Disliked: I did take a travel blackout blind which was handy with little ones as the cabin has a rather thin one on the door and they would have had me up at the crack of dawn otherwise, I wouldn't say it was a dislike though just a thought for others with small ones. No WiFi but that's camping!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Very calm and quiet campsite; friendly owner and other campers; good sized pitch with power; close to facilities; fire pit hire and logs for sale; close to walks and heath to explore. A fantastic break away from city life with space to be, fresh air and great location to sit and relax. Easy to get out to range of places within 20-40 mins - Holkham, Cromer, Aylsham, Norwich

Disliked: The track to the campsite is a bit rustic but the trailer always manages fine!

Cabin

Liked: Lovely setting, clean facilities, super friendly host, peaceful and picturesque

Disliked: Wish the cabins had somewhere to sit. You can't sit on the beds as they are bunk beds. A small comfy sofa would be great. Or switch out the bunks for a double
