  • 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.

What customers say

A well-kept campground with friendly staff, clean facilities, and lovely scenery. Guests loved the fishing, spacious sites, and on-site cafe/bar. Some noted road noise and signage. Great for a relaxing getaway; many want to return.

KIM G.

BumbleBee shepherd's hut

Liked The welcoming email with clear instructions and we both agreed the bed was very comfy.
Lovely view of lake before fishing people pitched up they tent.

Disliked We did get some people pitch up they tent in front of the shepards hut which did disturb our view.
The bin that was beside our hut was full.
Found getting into the top bunk wasn't easier maybe a ladder might help.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Very clean site. Staff were more than helpful and were very welcoming. The food on site was one of the best meals I've ever had

Disliked Roudy family on site who chose to let their dog loose which then tried to attack my dog. The site dealt with this swiftly though and is in no way a bad comment towards the site

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Exceptionally friendly & helpful staff.
Clean site.
Spacious pitches - flexible on where you are - we were taken to closest pitch to where our fishing peg was which was amazing.
Good quality facilities - toilets and showers great even on busy bank holiday weekend I didn’t have to wait for shower.
Fishing was great (according to son! He caught 3 big catfish and lots of smaller carp)
Lots going on around the site, we had carboot and family fun day while there.
Bar & restaurant on site brilliant again staff incredible, working so hard on a very hot & busy bank holiday. Prices were very reasonable.
Overall a very relaxed, happy vibe about this place - spacious and friendly. We will definitely be back soon!

Disliked Nothing - will definitely come back again!

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.
