Peaceful adults-only site 15 minutes’ walk from Swaffham town centre
Castle Acre Priory ruins and Oxburgh Hall within 15 minutes’ drive
Country walks accessible from the park’s grounds and dogs welcome

If you’re after a night or two in Norfolk with no nippers involved, embrace the adults-only setup at Breckland Meadows Touring Park on the outskirts of Swaffham market town. There may be no kids on site here, but that’s not to say that other sorts of small guests aren’t invited… the site is dog-friendly, so you can pack the pups. Bring them along for walks in the local area; a gate at the park leads directly onto Swaefas Way, which takes you and your canine pal into the centre of the town in about 15 minutes. Set off on this manageable amble when you need to pick up supplies at one of the three local supermarkets or hit the pubs and restaurants. If you’re more dedicated to strolling, continue on by linking up with Peddars Way – there’s miles of ground to cover, from forest to coast, and much of the route can be sped along by bike if you think you might want some pedal power to get you around. Back at Breckland Meadows, pretty much everything you need to freshen up after a day’s adventuring is at the park, including an amenity block with heated showers. There’s also a laundry room with washing-up facilities, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. It's worth noting that a location this close to a busy market town comes with a bit of road noise from time to time, so it's a good idea to pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Local attractions

Kick off your East Anglian explores at Castle Acre Priory, a well-preserved monastic site (10 minutes' drive), moving on to Gooderstone Water Gardens & Nature Trail (10 minutes) next for ambles beside a natural trout stream, four ponds, 13 bridges and into a kingfisher hide. Once you’ve spotted a bird or two, seek out some more at Thetford Forest Park (20 minutes), Britain’s largest lowland collection of pine trees, or get to Grime's Graves (25 minutes) for a glimpse of this prehistoric flint mine. If you’re feeling fancy, set off towards Sandringham Estate (25 minutes) and stroll around some of the 20,000 acres surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s country house, stopping off at the Sandringham Exhibition & Transport Museum to eye up the royal vehicles, precious ceramics and historical photos on display. More knick-knacks are on show at the Thursford Collection (35 minutes), a series of steam engines and organs, and folk who’d rather admire animals instead of trinkets can make their way to Hunstanton’s SEA LIFE aquarium.

Liked: Location. Could walk into Swaffham.

Disliked: Barrier on entry. No entry after 11pm. Adult only site. People on site saying can’t walk on shingle as annoys their dogs. Very unfriendly site.

From the manager: Thank you for your interesting review. Although I would like to clarify some points you have made. The barrier is obviously for security which most campsites have so not sure why you dislike this idea? Their is entry on site after 11pm but on foot only, this is to prevent cars driving round all hours of the night. People who visit us love the fact it's adult only and if you dislike this then maybe for your future holiday book a site that welcomes children. As for the people whose dogs don't like people walking on the shingle, this may be because you kept cutting across your neighbours pitch making their dog react instead of walking on the path! Finally the point about it being very unfriendly may be to do with the fact people were annoyed and cross with you as you kept at least 5 other campers awake from you both coming back drunk and arguing and swearing with each other, whilst slamming caravan doors until 1am! Not the best behaviour from so called "adults". Maybe you can try to show a bit more respect on the next site you visit.

Adult only site, large pitches. Toilets and showers were very clean with…

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Adult only site, large pitches. Toilets and showers were very clean with plenty of hot water. Lovely dog walk behind the site which took us into the town which we used daily. Supermarket and petrol station close by if needed. The site was lovely and quiet and we loved our time there, we would highly recommend.

Tracy T. Apr 2024

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: A lovely very well kept site with a mixture of seasonal pitches, tourers and semi-permanent. All laid out to gravel hard standing and framed by recently-mowed grass (all cuttings cleared away - very tidy). A site which has lots of bird song and backs into an old dis-used railway line which is a great dig walk into Swaffham town. Great facilities with 3 toilets and 3 showers in the ladies and the same in the men’s. No extra charge and lots of hot water with powerful showers. The location is so well positioned and a perfect spot for visiting all the local and wider afield areas. We will be returning. Well done to Nina and Richard who run a great site.
