What customers say
Peaceful farm camp with stunning rural views & wildlife. Clean facilities, including a handy kitchen. Spacious pitches, great for walks. Some want more loos, but friendly hosts & good value make it a top choice for a quiet, nature-focused escape.

Good cheap camp site, but better communication needed from hosts
Power optional grass site
Liked Facilities and Scenery were fabulous and definitely worth the low price of £15 per night. Would go again if I had a reason to visit Kings Lynn. Washing machine, microwave, kettle, fridge, washing up facilities, toilet and shower were brilliant, always clean and rarely had to wait to use them. Water hose and electric hook up at every site were very convenient. Fire pits provided and wood available to buy (£5 per bag) was a nice touch. Absolutely awful phone signal but we saw that as a positive!
Disliked Unfortunately the hosts really let us down. Their animals caused us a lot of distress (we were followed and intimidated by a bull and some cows and their little jack russell came to find us at 10pm because she could not find her owners - our “hosts” who had left the site for multiple hours). Very disappointing to find that despite being told we were very welcome to contact Rachel for help, she had gone away for a wedding in Yorkshire which she did not mention at check in, meaning she could not actually help us with the dog situation.
We also struggled to find much to do, although this can be expected when staying in the country. There are walks to local pubs etc on the notice board, but these are quite difficult hikes through wheat fields and rewilding sites, which we did not feel comfortable walking through after being part of a cow stand off!
Although we did not have any small children with us, we would definitely say this site is NOT child friendly, as there is a large lake very close to the site with no fencing, and potentially aggressive animals nearby.
More minor points:
- only one toilet
- £1 per shower (almost unlimited duration)
- unlevel pitches
- long walk to toilet/shower/kitchen
- loud animals all night
- no wifi mentioned at all
- not much info given at check in

Lovely relaxing place , excellent site , clean and tidy , friendly
Power optional grass site
Liked This was our second visit within the last few weeks and it’s absolutely lovely.
A lovely simple ( no frills ) location which allows you to just switch off and relax .
Ok it’s a working live stock farm along with quite a lot of stabling and livery yard however this doesn’t in away impact or intrude into the beautiful quiet this brings you .
There’s a good few walking places around the farm and nearby places to keep one interested .
A really lovely welcome greats you with lots of info provided , there’s a shower and toilet block for campers to use ( Bring £1 coin for the showers )
The big plus if like us where we go so do the doggies .. there happily accept 3 doggies , there is plenty of spaces to exercise mostly on lead although normally one specific field you can let them roam off lead ..
The little lake has a small boat that you can us3 ( if brave enough ) ..
We lovely it and am coming back towards the end of September for a few more days ..
Disliked Nothing really

Liked No pretense, no fuss you book in and you are left in peace. Yes it’s basic but so is the price. Stunning settings and the typical landscape of a working farm. We been all over this week at some top rated sites but loved this one the best. Give it a go!!
Disliked Nothing, but like others have noted an extra loo would be a bonus but not the end of the world.

Great site with easy access to the coast or Thetford forest.

Liked I stayed with my eldest daughter who is nearly 12. Plenty of space on the pitches. Electric hook up if required (we decided not to use it as we were only staying two nights). Pitch had it's own hose point for water. Lovely area with the re-wilding - we saw ponies grazing, which my daughter loves. She also loved being able to row the boat on the pond. Shower was clean. Washing up area and toilet were clean. Firewood was £5 for a big bag and we bought some local honey! Nothing not to love. We would love to stay again.
Disliked Nothing.

It was a lovely camping experience except for the rain.
Power optional grass site
Liked Absolutely loved it, it was easy to find and close to beaches and towns. The site was clean and the owners were friendly. We saw wild horses while walking around the site and the scenery is beautiful.
