  • Peaceful adults-only site in a wildlife haven
  • Two fishing lakes with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream
  • A 10-minute stroll to Hingham with shops and a dog-friendly inn
Hoot. And (fishing) hook. Big folk, come and join the owls, hawks, red kites, muntjac deer and other local inhabitants round and about adults-only Rectory Farm Fishing and Camping Site in Norfolk. Bring your rod and licence to tackle the slippery specimens at Rectory Farm’s two fishing lakes, filled with mostly carp and tench, and smaller shoals of roach, rudd and bream to try your hand at for a day or half-day charge. The lakes are as well maintained as the site facilities, where guests have access to toilets, showers, taps with drinking water, a fridge freezer, sinks with hot water all day and night, waste disposal point and picnic benches to take in the views. Dogs are welcome and have special areas on site for energetic walks. From Rectory Farm, it’s a safe 10-minute stroll to Hingham, with the dog-friendly White Hart inn, shops, bakers and butcher to pick up sausages and other essentials for the evening campfire.

What customers say

This tranquil, adult-only site in beautiful country is loved for its wildlife and fishing. Guests rave about spacious, level pitches and friendly owners. Facilities are clean but can be dated; more showers are desired during busy times. Great base for exploring Norfolk and local amenities.

Ryan G.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The size of the pitch is great, I’ve got my medium sized tent and set up and we still have like 30 feet between us and next door, everybody here is super friendly including the owner - see him going round cleaning and generally being involved frequently which is really nice he kept the loos, showers and kitchen absolutely spotless and he was very friendly to talk to.

If you explore the site there’s lovely dog walks with neat grass paths cut into the overgrown nature and bush land down the far end of the site, its a little bit of a maze with different paths to choose but they all lead back to the site, it’s really well thought of and well maintained and it takes you away from everything and everyone and it’s really quiet but it’s complete darkness at night so bring a head torch lol.

I will definitely come back here, it’s now my favourite local site for me being 20 miles away, next time I will bring some fishing gear and il try the more hidden smaller lake where you fish from the centre island :)

Disliked I don’t think i disliked anything although I do have a small recommendation, when you come into the site you come past the first lake but it’s a little unclear what to do then, there are bins at the farmyard/reception bit with a carpark and a little black board with name and pitch and we come straight past it and had to ask someone else who had done the same thing the day before, so all i would recommend maybe is a slightly bigger board with names on pitches that attracts your attention a little easier.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked How quiet it was , like being back to nature. No light pollution, and lots of wildlife around us.

Disliked Never meeting our hosts. We found our name on a board with our pitch number on. It didn’t spoil our stay but it would have been nice to meet them.

Primitive grass tent campsite (solo)

Liked Location was great for visiting a friend, k have stayed here before a few years ago so liked that it was familiar. Warm welcome from the owner.

Disliked Shower is getting a bit dated and could use upgrading. However it was hot and clean.

Local attractions

Once you’ve put down the fishing rod, head to Hingham with the camera to snap some shots of very fashionable houses: Hingham’s popularity with posh Georgians who came here in the 18th-century led to the town being labelled Little London. The eastern side of the market place is said to have the best collection of Georgian houses in Norfolk, perfect for pics and a possible rant about 21st-century property prices (buy a motorhome instead). From Hingham, it’s about 17 miles east to Norwich, Norfolk’s capital town and filled with a capital amount of attractions such as England’s biggest six-day indoor market, the greatly-sized Gothic fountain at the Plantation Garden and the ‘Norwich 12’, 12 listed buildings in the city including stupendous Norwich Cathedral. Keep driving your way east to reach the Norfolk Broads: their 125 miles of navigable waterways are where to go in Norfolk for all things boat, whether you want to try a guided river trip to wildlife spot, hire a boat to drift lazily down the water or take out a canoe for placid paddling. The Broads have several good angling lakes to pick from too, or try sea fishing off the beach from Sea Palling round to the coast at Great Yarmouth. A 45-minute drive from Rectory Farm will bring you to the gorgeous beaches of the north Norfolk coast and the 45 miles of the North Norfolk Coastal Path, going from Hunstanton to Cromer via Wells and Blakeney in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
