  • Peaceful adults-only site in a wildlife haven
  • Two fishing lakes with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream
  • A 10-minute stroll to Hingham with shops and a dog-friendly inn
Hoot. And (fishing) hook. Big folk, come and join the owls, hawks, red kites, muntjac deer and other local inhabitants round and about adults-only Rectory Farm Fishing and Camping Site in Norfolk. Bring your rod and licence to tackle the slippery specimens at Rectory Farm’s two fishing lakes, filled with mostly carp and tench, and smaller shoals of roach, rudd and bream to try your hand at for a day or half-day charge. The lakes are as well maintained as the site facilities, where guests have access to toilets, showers, taps with drinking water, a fridge freezer, sinks with hot water all day and night, waste disposal point and picnic benches to take in the views. Dogs are welcome and have special areas on site for energetic walks. From Rectory Farm, it’s a safe 10-minute stroll to Hingham, with the dog-friendly White Hart inn, shops, bakers and butcher to pick up sausages and other essentials for the evening campfire.

Unpowered grass tent site (solo)

Liked Location was great for visiting a friend, k have stayed here before a few years ago so liked that it was familiar. Warm welcome from the owner.

Disliked Shower is getting a bit dated and could use upgrading. However it was hot and clean.

Would be happy to stay again, ideal for weekend events at Snetterton.

Liked Peace and quiet, rural setting.

Disliked Toilets and showers are a little tired, but spotless. Could really do with a couple more showers and toilet cubicles really.

Liked Overall look and feel of the site. First view is of the fishing pond and ducks. Plenty of space. Owners helpful, friendly and welcoming.

Disliked Although toilets and showers are clean and looked after, a higher number would be needed as their popularity increases.

Maxim W.

Power optional concrete slab caravan site

Liked Lovely quiet site. Not at all busy in early June. The owner is really pleasant and welcoming. The gravel hard standing pitch has water as well as electricity (which is metered). If fishing is your thing then the lake on site is ideal. Although there are a few toilets and showers I think most use their own onboard facilities. There are hand sanitisers in every facility which is a thoughtful addition. The washing up/laundry room was great. Lots of hot water and even washing up liquid!

Love this place!

Local attractions

Once you’ve put down the fishing rod, head to Hingham with the camera to snap some shots of very fashionable houses: Hingham’s popularity with posh Georgians who came here in the 18th-century led to the town being labelled Little London. The eastern side of the market place is said to have the best collection of Georgian houses in Norfolk, perfect for pics and a possible rant about 21st-century property prices (buy a motorhome instead). From Hingham, it’s about 17 miles east to Norwich, Norfolk’s capital town and filled with a capital amount of attractions such as England’s biggest six-day indoor market, the greatly-sized Gothic fountain at the Plantation Garden and the ‘Norwich 12’, 12 listed buildings in the city including stupendous Norwich Cathedral. Keep driving your way east to reach the Norfolk Broads: their 125 miles of navigable waterways are where to go in Norfolk for all things boat, whether you want to try a guided river trip to wildlife spot, hire a boat to drift lazily down the water or take out a canoe for placid paddling. The Broads have several good angling lakes to pick from too, or try sea fishing off the beach from Sea Palling round to the coast at Great Yarmouth. A 45-minute drive from Rectory Farm will bring you to the gorgeous beaches of the north Norfolk coast and the 45 miles of the North Norfolk Coastal Path, going from Hunstanton to Cromer via Wells and Blakeney in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
