  • Peaceful adults-only site in a wildlife haven
  • Two fishing lakes with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream
  • A 10-minute stroll to Hingham with shops and a dog-friendly inn
Hoot. And (fishing) hook. Big folk, come and join the owls, hawks, red kites, muntjac deer and other local inhabitants round and about adults-only Rectory Farm Fishing and Camping Site in Norfolk. Bring your rod and licence to tackle the slippery specimens at Rectory Farm’s two fishing lakes, filled with mostly carp and tench, and smaller shoals of roach, rudd and bream to try your hand at for a day or half-day charge. The lakes are as well maintained as the site facilities, where guests have access to toilets, showers, taps with drinking water, a fridge freezer, sinks with hot water all day and night, waste disposal point and picnic benches to take in the views. Dogs are welcome and have special areas on site for energetic walks. From Rectory Farm, it’s a safe 10-minute stroll to Hingham, with the dog-friendly White Hart inn, shops, bakers and butcher to pick up sausages and other essentials for the evening campfire.

What customers say

Peaceful, adult-only site loved for friendly owners & quiet vibe. Spacious, private pitches. Facilities mostly clean, some room for improvement. Great for local village/area exploration. On-site fishing popular. Wildlife a bonus. Many want to return.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We love coming to this lovely campsite, for a small place it's well equipped, the kitchen had multiple fridges and freezers, washing machine and tumble dryer. The toilet block is nothing fancy but what is there is always kept clean and tidy. You can also hire fire pits and wood at a very reasonable price. On this trip we had such a lovely time we booked to stay with night!

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Clean site - easy walk into village with nice hotel we could eat in, and coop. Lovely toilets and shower and washing up facilities.

Disliked Not at all the fault of the campsite but we were next to a couple who had their TV on very loudly at night. Spoilt our experience as we were hoping for peace and quiet!

Wonderful site in a great location, perfect some quality relaxation.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked The location, the fishing, the site is amazing with little enclaves of pitches blended into the countryside. The owners couldn’t be more helpful. The small town of Hingam is a short walk away where the are a few shops and a great pub/hotel. Our second visit and I’m sure we’ll be back

Disliked The toilets and showers could do with a spruce up, but it all works and is clean. Everything else more than makes up for this.

Local attractions

Once you’ve put down the fishing rod, head to Hingham with the camera to snap some shots of very fashionable houses: Hingham’s popularity with posh Georgians who came here in the 18th-century led to the town being labelled Little London. The eastern side of the market place is said to have the best collection of Georgian houses in Norfolk, perfect for pics and a possible rant about 21st-century property prices (buy a motorhome instead). From Hingham, it’s about 17 miles east to Norwich, Norfolk’s capital town and filled with a capital amount of attractions such as England’s biggest six-day indoor market, the greatly-sized Gothic fountain at the Plantation Garden and the ‘Norwich 12’, 12 listed buildings in the city including stupendous Norwich Cathedral. Keep driving your way east to reach the Norfolk Broads: their 125 miles of navigable waterways are where to go in Norfolk for all things boat, whether you want to try a guided river trip to wildlife spot, hire a boat to drift lazily down the water or take out a canoe for placid paddling. The Broads have several good angling lakes to pick from too, or try sea fishing off the beach from Sea Palling round to the coast at Great Yarmouth. A 45-minute drive from Rectory Farm will bring you to the gorgeous beaches of the north Norfolk coast and the 45 miles of the North Norfolk Coastal Path, going from Hunstanton to Cromer via Wells and Blakeney in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
