  • Spacious off-grid pop-up site on a family-run farm in Norfolk
  • Just off the Wherryman's Way and five minutes from The Broads
  • Café, farm shop and swimming pool with showers a short walk away
Local grub, boating and wildlife-packed walks are quite the treat from Yare Camping, part of a family-run working farm on the edge of The Broads. Just off the Wherryman’s Way, a walking route through the Norfolk countryside, this spacious off-grid site is deliciously well-situated for delving into local goodies, paddleboarding, canoeing and boating on The Broads or walking to your heart’s content. Locally-produced foodstuff isn't far away here, as the site is a short walk away from a self-service farm shop laden with local eats, as well as a café and patisserie (perhaps for a morning coffee and a pastry). Down this way, there’s a swimming pool with showers available for hire subject to availability too. On site, you’ll have be in a good spot to take some downtime in privacy, thanks to the spacious pitches. You may have a dog by your side if you wish, as well-behaved canines are permitted. As for amenities, the site has drinking water and a basic toilet for convenience. While local waterside pubs with food and real ale are within five minutes' drive of the site, it’s not just foodies are catered to around here. Those of you who are keen on wildlife will be happy to find that Wheatfen Broad’s nature reserve is five minutes’ walk away. There’s likely to be more wildlife along the long-distance Wherryman’s Way, which has eight circular walks for walkers or cyclists.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked First and foremost, I loved the level of communication from Sarah (the host) in her emails and texts. A dying art.

If you love simplicity in your camping, this is the place to come. There is a farm shop on site which is unmanned, but you pay with the card machine and the stock is incredible - if you love your country fayre.

Also on site is a patisserie, and I met the chef and his wife who have been there for 8 years - and they are wonderful, and my almond tart went down superbly with a mug of hot coffee.

Quiet, simple, left to your own devices and in a wonderful location - for the price you pay per night, I don't think you can find better value on pitchup.com.

Disliked None.
