What customers say
This campsite has a friendly, relaxed vibe with welcoming hosts Deborah & James. It's conveniently located near attractions, shops, & a pub. Guests loved the unique horsebox showers/toilets & communal lounge with charging. Mostly clean & quiet, though some mentioned road noise & limited facilities. WW2 museum is a highlight.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great little find, enjoyed the quirkiness
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The hosts Deborah and James. Location was good for access to Grimes Graves, Dad’s Army Museum, nature reserve and town centre Thetford. Pub within reasonable walking distance. Quiet, even though just off main road. This site has a quaint charm about it and felt very relaxed and welcome. Not too big. Loved the quirkiness of the shower and toilet being in a converted horse box. The site also boasts what we called a lounge (a converted stable/out building that has tables and chairs, a large sofa, use of a fridge and phone charging facilities). Added bonus of the little WW2 museum on site dedicated to US Army 388 bombardment group that were stationed locally.
Disliked Not necessarily a dislike, but be aware only one shower and toilet for the site.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
There are in fact two shower and toilet cubicles. It seems that many of our guests don't realise there is also one at the rear of the horsebox!
We look forward to welcoming you back one day soon,

Great place for family/group or solo
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The park had a very secure environment and a lovely communal seating area (converted stable) with sofas and a fridge which is perfect to sink into a good read.
Only one shower and loo made from an old horse box but water was lovely and hot.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay here with us.
There are actually two toilet/shower cubicles within the horse box so I'm sorry if we didn't make that clear.
We hope to welcome you back one day.

A lovely little campsite and would highly recommend
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Campsite, communal area, horse box showers, local pub and fish and chip shop
Disliked Close to the road but this is only a minor issue compared with all the positives

Absolutely Wonderful with everything you’d need.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great welcome. Horse box toilet and shower. Lots of room. Easy to find. 3 mins walk to the local shop, little further for the chippy. Free toiletries for the shower that are eco-friendly and vegan. Communal seating area with power for charging was brilliant.
Disliked Not much really, if I could be picky I camped right next to the road side so I’d camp further away in the future and it wouldn’t be an issue.

would love to go back.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great hosts, atmospheric with the connection to the past. Close to pub, shop and chippy.
Disliked No dislikes really but please don't move the site, just have a re-shuffle as I understand you don't always want campers on your lawn. You could make more of the Nissen huts and surrounds surely? The ghosts of the past are crucial to the sites charm.
