  • Farm site half an hour’s drive from the Norfolk Broads and coast
  • Just outside Sprowston, 15 minutes from Norwich by car
  • Farm shop, wifi, coffee shop, beautician and dance studio
Travellers bound for the wide open spaces of East Anglia should home in on Plum Camping, a five-acre farm site 15 minutes' drive from Norwich that's surrounded by pick-your-own fruit orchards and 250 acres’ worth of fields and woodland. Settle in here among the plum and apple trees for a real rural feel and a handy location on the edge of the quiet town of Sprowston. Looking to make regular trips into Norwich? This spot is a five-minute walk from a bus stop where you can board regular services and be dropped right in the middle of town. Amenities on site include a farm shop, a butchery, a coffee shop, a fenced picnic area, a beautician’s and a dance studio, plus a communal kitchen and a washing-up area. Access to fridges and freezers can also generally be sorted on request, as can electric sockets for your crew's assorted gadgetry. The Norfolk coast is a top pick for walkers and is home to paths with some truly excellent views, such as the scenic trail from Cromer to Overstrand (40 minutes' drive). Inland, the Norfolk Broads’ north-eastern corner is particularly peaceful as most of the boats that cruise these waterways can't squeeze under low-lying Potter Heigham’s bridge (30 minutes). All in all, you won't find wetlands, wildlife and cosy village pubs hard to come by around here.

What customers say

This well-regarded, quiet campsite offers spacious, level pitches with good privacy. Guests praise the clean, quirky facilities and handy extras like fire pits and phone charging. It's great for Norwich access. Minor issues: intermittent hot water (resolved), occasional noise, no Wi-Fi, and the farm shop is closed Sundays.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Really enjoyed our night here. Lovely big area with plenty of space to choose where we wanted to be.
Toilets and showers were fab and well maintained
Loved the idea of the honesty box too

Disliked Could be more lighting as the area is so large and makes it hard when needing the toilet in the night.
Couldn’t get any logs for a fire as they had all gone although believe this was due to it being a bank holiday when we went

Local attractions

Pitch up, stroll next door to Sprowston Manor Hotel, Golf and Country Club (a few minutes’ walk) and you're set for a day of pleasant putting on a well-kept 18-hole course. For some classy spectator sports, meanwhile, you might like to amble in the direction of Castle Carvery Racecourse (15 minutes' walk) and watch jockeys and horses vying for that all-important first place. Norwich (15 minutes' drive or about half an hour on public transport) is a regional hub of food, culture and ornate architecture, with the undisputed highlight of that final category being the city's well-preserved Norman cathedral. Families with active younger members may appreciate such proximity to town too, as it means easy access to kid-pleasing attractions like bowling alleys, a snowsports centre and Whitlingham Country Park (all within 20 minutes), where there's bucketloads of space for frisbee, ball games and the like. Heading to the seaside is another obvious option: Sea Palling beach (30 minutes) and Waxham beach (35 minutes) are both sandy and have a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, while Blakeney National Nature Reserve (50 minutes) has wilder stretches of shoreline and seal colonies to scout out.
