  • Pitches and main facilities all wheelchair accessible
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Norfolk coast
The kilns may be old but the facilities – them’s all set for the 21st century. In fact, The Old Brick Kilns has got things so well sorted it’s even won awards for its offerings. All your everyday needs have been considered by the thoughtful folk at this peaceful rural site: there's a launderette that takes card payments, a tourist info point stacked with handy pointers and first-rate washrooms with underfloor heating. The shop’s shelves are filled with various essentials and treats, and you can call in a day ahead to order warm bread and fresh croissants for a leisurely breakfast. If you’re here at the right time, site staff can sort your evening drinks too: the bar is open on certain nights, with ales and ciders up for grabs. Should you choose to lounge about on site for a bit (as indeed you should…) there are wildflower meadows to skip through and a fishing pond that you’re welcome to dangle your rod into for a small charge. A playground, table tennis and games room are all on hand for the entertainment of small people. This nifty Norfolk location, 15 minutes from Fakenham, has you well placed for all sorts of outings too – beaches, nature reserves and stately homes are all within a half-hour drive. Guests travelling with wheelchairs or buggies will be chuffed to note that this is a pleasingly accessible site, with plenty of ramps and firm pathways to aid manoeuvres around the place.

Helen M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked: We booked one of the pitches in the adult only section. The site is really peaceful and really well maintained. The toilets and shower blocks are spotless and everything worked. The grounds are well looked after. The option to buy breakfast pastries was an unexpected surprise! The road to the site is a little tight but there are passing places so no problem if you take it slow. The location is perfect and we heard and saw lots of wildlife

Disliked: Nothing at all

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked: The quietness of the site both day and night. Stayed in the adults only section which was pleasant. Liked being able to order hot pastries for breakfast the day before. The cleanliness of the showers and toilets with plenty of hot water. Large pitches and spaced out well.

Disliked: Nothing really disliked about the site apart from bits falling off the trees and landing on the caravan roof and the chairs outside the caravan all the time (probably didn't help there being a birds nest above us).

Dell FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked: Really clean and spacious pitches. Had a small issue (of my own making) which was resolved very quickly. Showers and toilets were spotless and staff friendly and helpful. Food offering was good (I'd recommend the cod and chips) and portions generous. Nice atmosphere in the bar. All in all a very pleasant stay one which we will be repeating

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

The good folk of Norfolk know a thing or two about gorgeous coastlines, so it’s highly recommended that you bag a bit of beach time while you’re here: the great sandy swathes at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both about half an hour away by car. With coast comes wildlife, and the places to find creatures around here are the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) and the boat trips that leave Morston Quay (20 minutes) to see England’s biggest seal colony, which hangs out on or around Blakeney Point. It’s not all about the coast, however – inland’s got plenty of treats to offer too: give the Queen a wave at Sandringham (half an hour’s drive), wander through 100 acres of fragrant lavender fields in Heacham (35 minutes) and sniff out some history at medieval Walsingham (15 minutes) or the stately homes Blickling Estate and Houghton Hall (both 25 minutes).
