  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

Maple camping pod

Liked: Absolutely amazing loved it!!! The Maple Cabin we had was beautiful with more than enough space, clean and tidy ... loved the little kitchen area, the shower was amazing together with the double bed and sofa being beautifully comfy. The cabin is gated off with a lovely picnic area for morning coffee or a bbq. Surrounded by stunning lakes.

Disliked: Nothing we didn't like

Disliked: Only a small niggle but a ramp to be able to access toilet and showers or some disable facilities would be good

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very clean. And friendly staff.

Disliked: We was put in between lakes 4&5
First night was fine but then more fisherman put up bivvys around our caravan which made it impossible to sit outside our van they were right by our caravan door.
Then on the next morning at 7am more fisherman turned up knocking up a tent that early all we could hear was pegs being knocked into the ground. Then found we were blocked in by them. We had to tell them we was leaving the next day and they just said not our problem. My husband did manage to get through the other side.
Road noise was constant. We will not be going back.
Another tent on the opposite side of the lake had music so load i think the whole site was listening to it.

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
