Around the site

  • Traditional family site in meadows around a working farm
  • Away from main roads, half an hour's drive from Norwich
  • Shop on site; wildlife haven with woodland and plenty of space
Your fledglings should love this farm site – and those in charge of the flock are very likely to agree. Park Farm Camping is a family- and dog-friendly site just outside the peaceful village of Swanton Morley in rural Norfolk, half an hour's drive away from Norwich. Run by locals Hannah and Ryan, the site's grass pitches are simple but don't skimp on amenities either; there is a heated shower and toilet block. The pitches are in meadows around a working farm, with wildlife all around and farm animals to see in some of the meadows a short walk away alongside the nearby River Wensum. The village pub and shop are only a 15-minute walk away, although there is also a small shop on site where guests can pick up essentials. There’s heaps of space even in the height of summer for all the herd (including the dog) to run around, as well as a wood to explore and a small play area to swing around – with everything secluded away from main roads for chicks to be safely free range. All this, and campfires are allowed too. Use Park Farm Camping as a base to explore north Norfolk and Norwich, or stay close to home and explore the paths and lanes for walking and pedalling around the Wensum Valley: leaflets and brochures on acres’ worth of visitor attractions are at the Park Farm reception. Wifi is on site for more info-browsing, but as this is a rural location signal strength and speed vary; general browsing or messaging is usually OK.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite was kept very clean and tidy, with spacious pitches. The toilets were always clean and the separate shower and toilet cubicles were helpful, never a queue for them either. The washing up area was very nice, with hot water and drying racks. The play area kept our little boy occupied, with plenty of space for football or bike riding. He particularly enjoyed going into the "enchanted" forest to look for hidden doors and houses 🤫

Disliked The site was advertised as a farm, which is the main reason we came, as our little boy loves farm animals. However, there were no animals, not that the public had access too at least, very disappointed. The showers had push buttons that only lasted about 10 seconds, which is quite tedious but not the worst thing.

From the manager: Hi Georgia,

We’re really glad you enjoyed your stay overall, and we hope you managed to find all 16 of the fairy doors!

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed not to see any farm animals during your visit, particularly as this was one of the reasons you chose to stay with us. Park Farm Camping is named after the farm estate that owns the land, which was historically farmland. Park Farm itself, where there are working cattle, is around 200 yards from the campsite, but the campsite itself isn't a working farm.

The cattle were out in the surrounding meadows during your stay, and we would have been very happy to point you towards them if we’d realised your little boy was hoping to see the animals. We’re sorry this wasn’t clearer when you booked.

Thank you also for mentioning the shower buttons. We appreciate that having to press them every 10 seconds can be a little frustrating, and we’ll certainly keep this in mind.

We hope you had a lovely time exploring the site and enjoyed the enchanted forest and fairy doors!

Best wishes,
Park Farm Camping

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely, clean, small site. Perfect for families! Can see the children in the park, all the children play nicely together, football pitch, shop well stocked, lending station of games and books a nice touch. The owners are helpful. Beautiful walks and lakes nearby. We will be returning! WiFi offered but when everyone is up and about can’t always pick it up. But added to the peace!

Disliked Literally only downside is push shower goes off far too quick for female hair wash.

Local attractions

Anglers can cast off at the Norfolk coast about half an hour away to try their luck at landing mackerel, bass and cod. You could pick a beach or seaside town to drive to every day of your holiday at Park Farm too: seal-spotting boat trips from Morston and Blakeney, as well as swishing around somewhat swanky Wells-next-the-Sea and Burnham Market (aka Chelsea-on-Sea) are all within 40 minutes' drive. Within 50, make for the Pleasure Beach (and racecourse) at Great Yarmouth or the crabbing, funfair and zoo at Cromer, both top picks for seaside antics. Other eclectic options within accessible reach of Park Farm Camping include padding around Liz II’s pad at royal Sandringham and other old houses like Holkham Hall: both are around 45 minutes away. Norwich is 25 minutes from the site.
