  • Welcoming site next to Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station
  • In the countryside, half an hour’s drive from Norwich and The Broads
  • Station bar-restaurant and museum on site; access to Marriott’s Way
Staying in lush green Norfolk countryside sounds pretty appealing on its own. However, add in a heritage railway station with a museum and a bar-restaurant and things get even more attractive. Set next door to the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, Whitwell Station Campsite is a welcoming rural site with direct access to the station, where there are daily departures, a bar-restaurant with a rear garden and access to the Marriott’s Way walking and cycling path. Rural this site may be, but it’s also well within reach of a few other key Norfolk attractions. First of all, it's within half an hour’s drive of the city of Norwich, as well as The Broads National Park, a scenic place to walk or take a boat trip. If you'd rather find your own way, hire a canoe or kayak at Salhouse Broad (also half an hour's drive) to look for wildlife and paddle as far as Horning or Wroxham. From Whitwell Station Campsite, you're also poised to get out to the Norfolk coast. Start by nosying around Cromer pier or the Sheringham Priory Maze and Gardens before heading to Blakeney to try crabbing from the quay or take a boat trip to see the local grey seal colonies. All of these options are a little over a half-hour drive away. Back at base, the park has well-maintained amenities suited to a weekend break or family holiday, including toilets and showers.

What customers say

A peaceful, welcoming campsite ideal for hikes, right by a steam railway & museum. Helpful staff, good pitches. Quirky, informal vibe with a bar/restaurant. Basic facilities & occasional biker/park run noise noted, but site's under development & improving.

MARK G.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The site was small but clean.

Disliked There was no wifi reception on our pitch, the 10am checkout i feel is a bit early. The toilets and showers were ok, although there was no lighting except for solar ones. If you want a no frills site, than this was ok. Great local pub for food just down the road.

Susan J.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lots of space for campervan

Disliked Showers and toilet block - no lights on during the day.
Unable to get food after 4pm.
Although you take dogs there was no lights when taking my dog for a walk which can be so dangerous for us. No Wifi in camping area.

From the manager: Hi Susan Thank you for your comments and sorry you had a couple of issues, which had they been mentioned at the time we could have done something about it

Your comment about no lights on the shower and toilet block during the days, we are not quite sure what you meant as being daylight up to now there has been plenty of light, but will will investigate to see if there is a need, lights do come on when its dark and maybe they need adjusting

Food is available at the station until 4pm Tuesday to Thursday and Friday until 8pm and Saturday and Sunday until 6pm, we have no control over there opening times

There are plenty of places in Reepham that sell food from supermarkets to cafes and bars

Wifi is available in the camping area and just needs a password Steve is on hand to help at anytime and there are signs displaying his contact details as he lives on site

Peter B.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, not at all crowded, great facilities and nicely off the beaten track.
Restaurant and Bar on lower level excellent quality and very good value for money.
Pop-up Bar on upper level an ingenious idea and very well tended by Steve. All in all a very very enjoyable experience and will definitely be returning in the near future.
An excellent enterprise by Mike and we wish all the very best for your future.

Disliked A nearly total lack of Internet, sometimes annoying but often peaceful bliss.

Local attractions

What's worthy of the first stop on your Norwich break? You might as well make it the lively city of Norwich (half an hour’s drive), which is packed to the brim with shops, pubs, theatres, museums and historic sites like the castle and cathedral. Stop by Pulls Ferry, a former ferry house with a 15th-century watergate, to see the route along which the stone was sent to the Norwich Cathedral building site. Norwich ghost walks, which have been up and running since 1998, will take you around the city’s most ‘haunted’ sites. If you’re keen to tick off a few beaches as you make your rounds, some worthy places to consider are the dunes in Holkham (40 minutes) or West Runton (35 minutes), where prehistoric bones have been found. Viewing platforms among the dunes at Horsey Gap (55 minutes) also give you a chance of spotting the area’s grey seal colony. There are lots of museums and National Trust properties around these parts, too. The National Trust’s Sheringham Park (half an hour) has woodland walks where lucky folks can spot wildlife like red deer and firecrest. Sandringham Estate (45 minutes), used as a holiday escape for royals, has spectacular gardens and Jacobean-style architecture.
