Liked Very relaxed and peaceful site with well maintained facilities and some good suggestions for places to visit (I went to Holt which wasn't on my original plan, and loved it). Great location for exploring the Broads, visiting Norwich and the coast.

Excellent rural campsite, would recommend.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked The location is excellent if you are looking for a rural campsite, the fields are large and we had lots of space around us, the showers and toilets were clean and well maintained, there was a sink to wash up and power points to charge, it was a lovey stay at the Old Vicarage.
Disliked Due to the weather and it being so hot unfortunately we could not have a firepit for a few nights, for H&S reasons, not the owners fault at all and he communicated really well.

Chilled! Quiet!! Relaxing!!
Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked What a gorgeous campsite.
Off grid for the weekend
Only five of us on here
Camper and have a pitch just inside the field so the field isn’t driven on
The campers are given a wheelbarrow to bring their camping things in
The kids love the wheel barrows
The showers are rustic and water warm ( we had a glorious weekend weather wise )
The toilets are a shovel saw dust over your number 2 but well maintained
We were able to have a small fire due to the house fire pits. Logs £6 a bag.
They have an in house resident cat called sprout who adores everyone
And a doggy ( think it’s a Jack Russell ) comes to say hi too.
Washing up facility but no toilet waste disposal…. So if you poo you take it home :) which we did.
The field is well spread out
There was five of us and we all had our own space but people were friends and always stopped to say hi as did the owner too
We came 29/31 May for two nights £48 for the weekend.
Reedham and acle close by
Acle bridge is a definite pub to visit for the food people and the broads
Disliked No shops on site
This isn’t a dislike, this is to make other campers aware to bring all you need
Nothing else to dislike :)

Lovely site - a peaceful bank holiday break away
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked There is lots of space here even in a hot bank holiday weekend!
The showers are modern and hot.
There are two sinks for washing and two separate sinks for washing up with bowls.
Drinking water tap.
There’s USB charging points here too.
There are four clean composting toilets with four small steps to get up into and urinals for the men.
There was never any queuing for the facilities.
Bins are by the entrance to the car parking lot
My sat nav sent me to the neighbouring farm to a gate that joins the campsite but isn’t part of it!! Don’t go up the farm track, keep going until you see the cartwheels and save your suspension!!
I had a lovely first solo camping trip here with my dog and I would recommend this site and I would happily return. You can bring as much as you can carry which was helpful for me as a newbie to see how much space everything takes!
I had no intention of doing anything while I was there and it was lovely just listening to the birds and the breeze in the trees. I did pop to the Norwich Camping and Leisure shop which is just a ten minute drive away which I can recommend a visit to!
Disliked Not a dislike more of a mention of the bird scarer that goes off in a neighbouring field roughly hourly in the mornings from 5am and in the afternoons. It’s not overly loud but worth mentioning if you have an anxious dogs etc.
I think someone has previously mentioned solar lights in the toilets. I agree these would be useful.
Also some picnic benches could be nice.

Good little site ideal for campers looking for freestyle camping.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Clean facilities, no restrictions on pitch size or being able to bring additional shelters/gazebos, etc. Handy USB charging station and a freezer for ice blocks. Hot showers and hot water for washing up. Friendly resident cat! And good phone signal too. The fire pits are fab! Wish we had better weather for them!
Disliked Not a biggie but could do with more wheelbarrows for carting your stuff from the car to the pitch. There was only two. Another site I've stayed at had several big trollies that fit more in, these would be an excellent addition.
