  • Simple and peaceful family-friendly site at Horsford in Norfolk
  • Blickling Estate 20 minutes’ drive and Cromer Beach 35 minutes
  • Spacious pitches surrounded by trees; families and dogs welcome
The Broads National Park and the handsome historic city of Norwich are both around 20 minutes’ drive from Whispering Oaks, on the outskirts of Horsford in central Norfolk. If you fancy a camping holiday full of walking or cycling, boat cruises or days on North Norfolk beaches, this site puts you where you need to be. Whispering Oaks has grass pitches set under mature oaks and welcomes couples, families and well-behaved dogs. It’s down a country lane close to livestock, horses (keep your dogs on lead around the animals, please) and arable fields, and is surrounded by wildlife and nature. The site is accessed through a locked, gated entrance for guest security. Showers and toilets can be used for an additional fee, and aside from that, the facilities cover electric hook-ups, water taps, a tipping point and rubbish and recycling bins. The owners ask that you please use green chemicals while on the pitches, in line with their green credentials.

What customers say

This peaceful, well-kept CL site in a beautiful rural setting is perfect for nature lovers. Upgraded showers are modern and clean, though an extra charge applies. Some found the gate padlock and access codes a bit inconvenient, and noted a lack of dishwashing facilities. Overall, guests love the quiet vibe and friendly hosts, and many want to come back.

 Emma C. 1 review

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We just stayed 5 nights and was lovely. We had the site to ourselves. Very small and quiet site. We paid the extra to use the facilities. One shower room with sink & toilet in it and then there was a separate toilet. Both accessible by key safe. No pitch markings so can choose how you pitch up. We pitched up under a tree so didn’t really get too much rain. Shower and toilets so clean and well maintained.
We visited sherringham, Norwich and Cromer as around 30min drive away. Also lovely wooden land walk in the town.

Disliked No enough lighting at night when needing to walk to the facilities. Could do with a washing up facilities but not a massive issue as we washed up in the caravan. Facilities could be accessed by pin rather than key safe, as key safe was too high for a short person like myself and key kepted falling out.

Liked Tidy well kept site

Disliked Some motorway and airport noise
Padlock on main gate shanks to short very hard to undo from outside especially if you are short

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words about our tidy, well-kept site. Whilst there are no motorways in Norfolk, occasional traffic may be heard from nearby roads. Norfolk has a rich RAF heritage, and aircraft can occasionally be seen and heard overhead from the county’s many airfields. Thank you for your feedback regarding the gate padlock; we’ll look into making it easier to operate.

Peaceful, spacious and exceptionally clean facilities.…

Liked Clean quiet.

Disliked You have to pay extra for shower toilet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're pleased you found the site clean and quiet and would visit us again. As stated on Pitchup when booking, shower and toilet facilities are an optional extra and are priced separately from the pitch. This allows self-sufficient guests who don't require these facilities to benefit from a lower pitch price, while guests who wish to add shower and toilet facilities for an additional fee get the clean, well-maintained facilities we offer. We hope to welcome you back again!

Local attractions

As well as hiking and biking along local countryside paths, you might like to take a trip up to North Norfolk beaches like Cromer (35 minutes’ drive) and Wells-next-the-Sea (45 minutes). Don’t forget the walking shoes though, as you can stride out along the Norfolk Coast Path (it’s 40 minutes to pick it up at Waxham), which hugs the coastline between Hunstanton and Hopton-on-Sea. If you’d like to factor some culture into your holiday schedule, you’re in luck. The National Trust owns grand Tudor-era Blickling Estate (20 minutes), the stately former home of Anne Boleyn; 15th-century Felbrigg Hall, Gardens & Estate, where you can tour lavish period interiors; and Sheringham Park (both 35 minutes), known for its colourful rhododendron and azalea gardens. If that’s not your scene, hire a cruiser to potter down waterways from Wroxham (20 minutes) in the Broads National Park, or take the kids to follow the dinosaur trail at ROARR! (15 minutes). You can also test your fitness on jungle bridges and marsh walks at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (20 minutes), or take younger kids to cuddle the Shetland ponies at Hillside Animal Sanctuary (15 minutes).
