  • Four-acre and level pub and riverside site on the Norfolk Broads
  • Private fishing lake in a wildlife haven
  • Free slipway use, barbecue area and food served by the fire
There are times when you just want a ferry relaxing break. Away from the hordes in the seaside resorts, alongside peaceful riverside scenery, and with the option on site of river fishing, lakeside fishing or just taking a pint of Woodforde Wherry to sup by the riverside and watch the ferry chug back and forth… All, thoroughly, sorted. Reedham Ferry Touring and Camping Park is a pub site in the Norfolk Broads, with a private fishing lake available to guests to land carp, bream or rudd; you can also fish for free from the site on the banks of the River Yare. The four-acre site is level and landscaped with views of the Norfolk countryside and marshes; if you’re not fishing, take your binoculars to the riverside to spy on the local herons, marsh harriers and kingfishers. And if you do want to be beside the seaside for a day, Great Yarmouth is about 11 miles away. Pitches at Reedham Ferry include free use of the slipway if you’re bringing along a dinghy or two. There’s a barbecue area on site for putting together your own grub – or you could just sit by the fire in The Archers and have your dinner brought to you: a ferry good deal all round.

Liked: Lovely campsite nice gentleman who showed us where to go.

Disliked: The pub, very obnoxious old women doing the bookings wanted a table was told we would have to wait while she tried to find us one went to sit at a table while we waited only to be shouted at (you can't sit there I've just told you) bearing in mind we were the only people in the pub so went to the bar eventually got a table given the early bird menu which was rubbish so went back to our van to eat a lovely place ruined by one person

Liked: My first time at this site and location. I found it a very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing and no fuss checking in eventhough I did go in the pub to enquire. Within a short walk away from my tent I was on the front watching the ferry go back n forth and a bit further at Reedham watching the boaters come and go. The pub also was very welcoming with friendly staff. Would definitely consider visiting this site again in the future.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Lovely location,clean tidy parking area,wonderful showers and toilets,electric points and fresh water near ever pitch . A rustic inn with lovely food ,drink and staff ,the whole place was friendly and dog friendly too .there were fishing lakes ,lovely scenic walks and areas to sit and watch the boats and yachts sailing past .reedham village was just a 30 min walk along the river .peaceful at night and will be going there again . You get to see and use the ferry across the river . The inn dates back to the 1600 s and has a plethora of antique tools and items all over the beams ,lovely old settles to sit on and pictures with information about the former landlords on the walls . We can highly recommend it .

Disliked: We would have liked the inn to open a bit earlier than 11 to get a breakfast and hot drink .

Local attractions

Walk along the river to Reedham village for fish and chips, Reedham Quay and more pubs: the Lord Nelson has free gigs most nights, or you could take the yard of ale challenge in The Ship – both pubs are dog-friendly and dish up huge portions of food. The Humpty Dumpty Brewery, one of the breweries supplying the site, has a shop selling its beer alongside local ciders and produce. For families, Pettitts Adventure Park is also in Reedham, with a kids' theatre and animals to feed and pet. From Reedham, take the 12-mile cycle route starting from Reedham Quay and going through local towns and villages, or take the chain ferry across the River Yare to drive on through the countryside. But as it’s the Broads, a bit more mucking about in boats is definitely in order: as well as the vehicle ferry from the park itself, several companies in the area offer cruises and guided tours or you can go rowing, canoeing or sailing under your own steam. Take the kids to goggle at the gibbons at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, just outside Great Yarmouth: the seaside town is about 11 miles from Reedham Ferry and will keep small fry entertained for hours (if not days) with its circus, Sea Life, seafront Golden Mile and 12 amusement arcades.
