Whitlingham Broad Campsite

The lovely campsite is situated in Whitlingham Country Park. Great place to take our dog for a walk, and bird watching at the same time! We did not have the time to try out all of the broad-based aquatic activities on offer! Our short stay was spent exploring 'the fine city' with our daughter who is attending the university. Hopefully, we will be able to stay for longer next time! The facilities on the campsite are excellent. As we camped mid-October, the reception and shop were closed most of the time, so I am unable to comment on what goodies are on offer in the shop, but the washing facilities were great.

The only 'dislike' is hearing the steady dull noise of distant traffic, but it was NOT so obtrusive that it would put us off staying here again!

Everything.
The upper field appealled to us the most, however we were slightly concerned about not having the car next to us. It was fine - it's easy to get pitched up as there are wheelbarrows and you can actually pull round while pitching up. The car park appears to be very safe.
We stayed Tues to Sat, and enjoyed watching everyone flocking in on Sat and finding their perfect pitch. The lack of cars lends it a festival feel.
Our six year old loved the freedom, making friends and playing out after dark, but the whole site went pretty much silent by 10pm - and yes, there were some large groups and loads of kids. Everyone was super respectful.

A very small note is the inadequate drainage in the showers. The staff do a great job of cleaning, but as soon as someone showers the water starts flooding out and inevitably it ends up pretty muddy. BUT these are decent, free, hot showers and this comment is not intended to put anyone off!

It was great. Good facilities, good access to everything and very clean. The staff were fantastic, warm, friendly and attentive staff. It was perfect for us.

No hot water for washing up. The ground was hard for pegging in.

We just LOVED this campsite. Its clean and mainly flat, well drained and very well kept. The shower/loo blocks are heated (yay) and were regularly cleaned and maintained (no loo paper shortages).
The site is perfect for exploring Norwich and the Norfolk coast - or simply enjoying the surrounding lake and woodland.
We also loved that the lack of designated spaces meant we could camp together as a (large) family. We also loved being able to use our fire pit as many sites we looked at were not willing to book a large family group or allow use of fire pits.
The children adored the play area.
I loved waking up in the morning surrounded by trees listening to the birds.
We had the most amazing time and expect to be back again next year.

Great location, helpful staff, good facilities

–

The location and immediate surroundings. Super convenient for the cycle event we were taking part in. Very pretty and good facilities. Useful little shop at reception.

Only that there was some road and train noise but the other side of that is that it's a campsite from which you can walk into the lovely city of Norwich.

Everything thing was nice and clean people very friendly

The late check in would have liked to have checked in at 12 x

Very friendly welcome. Nice site set in a lovely area, with good facilities and play area for the children. Showers and toilet blocks clean.

Nothing

We liked the campsite, it was very clean, and peaceful.

We did not like the contact method of the campsite. The phone number provided is always on voice mail. and you hardly get a reply back.

The sense of space.

The showers (free) and hot (ish) water for washing up which was covered over

Showers could have been cleaned more often as when it was busy at weekends they got quite manky. also the drain in one shower and in family accessible shower room must have been blocked as the water flooded over the floor almost immediately.
