  • 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 spotless, quiet campsite gets high marks. Visitors rave about the modern bathrooms, helpful staff, and spacious sites. Barney's Bar is a hit. Despite minor Wi-Fi and access road quirks, most guests loved it and plan to return.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (super, adults only)

Liked Immaculate caravan site
Very Quiet
Picturesque
Clean well maintained

Disliked Lack of toilets in adult part of park only 2 for a large amount of caravans
Sloping pitches ,we were on 20 quite a slope
Our ‘super pitch’ smaller than the ones opposite us
Price of meals and unable to order unless very early in the day (1 pizza /2chips £34)
T&c says no washing lines but noticed plenty of arial dryers ( to our horror opened blinds to see “lady in opposite caravan hanging out her underwear )
Definitely need car as very remote

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite (pull-thru)

Liked I liked that the Toilets and showers were very clean and modern and also that the water top up and waste stations were all close to our caravan set up. The kids loved the fishing and games room which had a pool table and table tennis which kept the children happy.

Disliked The only dislike would be that I felt that the caravan touring area felt a bit crammed in and could do with losing the area in the middle which caravans would use.
Also the play area was made for really young child which could do with adding a few more swings etc for older kids

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked Extremely well maintained site, food is excellent, with entertainment on a Saturday, it’s a shame food and beverage facilities are only open a few days and not everyday. Toilet and shower facilities are superb.

Disliked I’d of liked the kids park to have been more central on the green space of the the touring site and not next to the car park.

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).
