  • Pop-up wild camping in Norfolk woodland on the edge of West Dereham
  • Ely or King’s Lynn 30 minutes' drive; Old Hunstanton beach 50 minutes
  • Off-grid site with lots of wildlife; shops and pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Ready for some honest-to-goodness wild camping? With family-friendly pitches in a diverse young woodland with open grassy clearings and mown paths? Right on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham? If you answer ‘yes’ to all three questions, then the pop-up Rosehip Wood Wild Camping is the spot for you. Here, you can pitch up at a campsite completely enclosed by fences – kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway' – and use the large, flat meadow for recreational games like football and rounders. It's surrounded by trees and lush greenery, so watch out for wild birds and deer, and look forward to the sunset on clear nights. Because of the lack of light pollution, it's possible to observe a night sky full of stars when weather conditions are right. There are stunning long-distance river walks along the relief channel within a 10-minute walk of the site. Alternatively, walks along the River Wissey are less than an hour's walk away along a footpath through local farmland; maps are available on site. As befits proper wild camping, facilities are on the scant side. A compost loo, mains water and picnic tables are available on the camping field, but there is no hot water for showers and no electricity – be prepared for the latter and pack torches and batteries for any wanderings after dark. Handily, Downham Market is only 10 minutes’ drive away, just in case you need supplies or feel like a pint in one of the town’s historic pubs.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful site, relaxed atmosphere, quiet, well kept.

Disliked There was only one fire pit. I think the site could do with more, maybe fix the locations?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your positive review, we are a brand new campsite and any ideas on how to make improvements are welcome. We have already added an extra fire pit and hope to add some more soon.

Loved this place and will definitely return again soon

Chris J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved this remote off grid pop up campsite with secluded woodland pitches set in beautiful countryside. Poor phone signal and lack of Wi-Fi just adds to the off grid experience. Clean toilet and bin area with drinking water tap nearby.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your encouraging and supportive comments. We are very pleased that you enjoyed being at our site.
