  • Award-winning, peaceful rural site 15 minutes from Fakenham
  • 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.

What customers say

This well-maintained campground has excellent, spotless facilities, including modern shower blocks. Spacious, well-laid-out sites, with a popular adults-only area. Staff are friendly and helpful, and Barney's Bar serves delicious food. Generally peaceful, though some noted camper noise and busy facilities. Great for exploring North Norfolk.

Andy T.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Nice and quite site (well apart from the 8am wake up call of jet engines most week days).
WiFi was good, which was great because there was little to no signal on EE or Three.
Pitches although gravel you could still get a tent peg in without the use of a jack hammer.
The onsite bar, Barneys, was small but the food was great.

Disliked If I wanted to nit pick, the pitch had a big enough dip in it that it made the caravan unlevel.
A few too many dogs. I dont dislike dogs but it seemed almost every pitch had at least one.
The narrow lane to access the site is ok with a 8ft caravan but the vegitation on the sides was getting very close and you are in trouble if you meet anything going the other way

Liked Fabulously clean, tidy, great pitches with close by services. The food at the bar is great washed down with a cool beer. Just what was needed if you are short on time and supplies. Helpful and polite staff. Stayed here whilst visiting son at local RAF base and we are definitely going to rebook.

Disliked Nothing. The site deserves its high rating.

Stephen P.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked The site is very good. The pitches are level, well spaced and the site is clean and tidy. There is a toilet block that is better quality than some hotels I have stayed in. The addition of have a shop, restaurant and bar on site is most welcome. The pitch was fully serviced, so no going to fetch water every few hours. Also, the Wi-fi worked well and was a great bonus to have, especially due to a bad phone signal.

Disliked Our site was under an oak tree, so acorns fell onto the roof every so often, making a loud noise. One breezy night, we had so many fall, it sounded like someone playing marbles on the van roof. This is such a small criticism. It did not spoil our stay at the site, and we would certainly stay here again. However, we may ask not to stay on pitch 33. Don't be put off by this. It is a really good site and a credit to the owner.

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).
