The breathtaking Broads National Park and the handsome, historic city of Norwich are both around 20 minutes’ drive from Whispering Oaks, on the outskirts of Horsford in central Norfolk. If you fancy a camping holiday full of walking or cycling, boat cruises or days on North Norfolk beaches, this site puts you where you need to be.
Whispering Oaks has grass pitches set under mature oaks and welcomes couples, families and well-behaved dogs. It’s down a country lane close to livestock, horses (keep your dogs on lead around the animals please) and arable fields, and is surrounded by wildlife and nature.
The site is accessed through a locked gated entrance for guest security. Please note that there are no showers on site, but facilities do include electric hook-ups, water taps, a tipping point, rubbish and recycling bins; the owners ask that you please use green chemicals while on the pitches, in line with their green credentials.

Local attractions
As well as hiking and biking along local countryside paths, you might like to take a trip up to North Norfolk beaches like Cromer (35 minutes’ drive) and Wells-next-the-Sea (45 minutes). Don’t forget the walking shoes though, as you can stride out along the Norfolk Coast Path (it’s 40 minutes to pick it up at Waxham), which hugs the coastline between Hunstanton and Hopton-on-Sea.
If you’d like to factor some culture into your holiday schedule, you’re in luck. The National Trust owns grand Tudor-era Blickling Estate (20 minutes), the stately former home of Anne Boleyn; 15th-century Felbrigg Hall, Gardens & Estate, where you can tour lavish period interiors; and Sheringham Park (both 35 minutes), known for its colourful rhododendron and azalea gardens.
If that’s not your scene, hire a cruiser to potter down waterways from Wroxham (20 minutes) in the Broads National Park, or take the kids to follow the dinosaur trail at ROARR! (15 minutes). You can also test your fitness on jungle bridges and marsh walks at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (20 minutes), or take younger kids to cuddle the Shetland ponies at Hillside Animal Sanctuary (15 minutes).
