  • 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.

Disliked I felt the camping pitches were a little too close together. When a tent pitched along side us there was no space to park next to your tent.

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.

Dawn H.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked This is a lovely campsite with large pitches. The adult only part is based at the top of the campsite away from the main body of the site, which gave more privacy and a more peaceful setting. The facilities were great, nice hot showers, clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a lovely dog walk around the site too. We were on pitch number 12 which was lovely as we got the sun in the afternoon, perfect for when you had been out in the morning. We will definitely come again and hopefully get the same pitch! Thank you 😊

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked A great site really well placed to get to lots of what Norfolk has to offer. The amenities are amazing, showers are clean and modern, only 2 sit down toilets in the men's so can get a little crowded first thing. Some restaurants 3 pin sockets near the toilets too.

Disliked No adaptors for the circle camping plugs for a regular 3 pin socket. Not the end of the world, but would have been handy to help us blow up the mattress.

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).
