  • Pop-up site at a Norfolk working farm just outside the Broads
  • BeWILDerwood Norfolk 10 minutes' drive; 15 minutes to the coast
  • Home to a microbrewery with a taproom on site
A pop-up campsite with a microbrewery on site? Sounds like a fine setup, right? Well, that’s what you’ll get at The Farm Camping, part of a Norfolk working farm just outside the Broads National Park. This is a handy location for all sorts of Norfolk activities, including walking or boating around the Broads, hitting the beaches of the north coast or spending time fishing, horse riding or cycling. The nearest pub is about 10 minutes’ walk away – but you won’t have to go that far if you don’t want to, as the farm is home to the Wildcraft Brewery, which has a taproom in one of the traditional red-brick barns (and picnic tables outside for an alfresco drink on a sunny day). As a pop-up site the facilities here are fairly simple, but you’ll have access to toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a wifi connection, and you’re welcome to bring a barbecue for your meals. Dogs, families and groups are all welcome.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Everything, was a lovely stay and will definitely be coming back to this peaceful and welcoming campsite. The brewery was a lush feature to this campsite and very reasonably priced.

Disliked We had a shower at 8pm and have a feeling the hot water had run out as it was freezing and would recommend some lighting on the path to the toilets but this is only feedback as it wasn't anything too major :)

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Peaceful, small campsite. One toilet next to the tents to save walking across the field.

Disliked Showers were cold and the toilets needed attention. It was easier to wash up at the tent using a kettle as there was no hot water.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. I would definitely stay again. The pitches were a good size.

Disliked Not very well signposted. We struggled to find reception and had to ask a camper and on our pitch there were alot of stinging nettles. Apart from that was a lovely stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review, we have now added lots of new signage to make sure others don't have the same issues! :-)

Overall would highly recommend!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The entertainment was great, the staff were super friendly and the pitch was a good size, close to Cromer and broads

Disliked The showers were the only downside as they were too hot and not private enough for me

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for letting us know about the showers, the heat has now been turned down!
