  • Family-friendly wildlife haven five miles from the North Norfolk coast
  • Seal-spotting boat trips a 10-minute drive; half an hour from Cromer
  • Firepits; bundles of kiln dried logs to buy; dairy shop and pub nearby
From salt marshes to seal-spotting and sandy beaches… if nature is your calling, head to the wildlife haven at Barley Fields Camping and set up base five miles from the North Norfolk Coast. From this peaceful vantage point with spacious grasslands for families to unwind and sheep grazing nearby, brown hares and deers sometimes skip by and if you’re lucky, you may catch sight of barn owls or skylarks in the sky (dark skies status applies here). This nine-acre working farm site is a 10-minute drive from Morston Quay (a National Trust site where you can take a boat trip to spot grey seals or spend an hour or two on the Blakeney National Nature Reserve). Likewise, the coastal villages of Blakeney, Morston and Stiffkey (a good stop for salt marshes and picking samphire or blue-shelled cockles) are all a 10-minute drive away. Wake up with fresh milk and farm produce from the dairy shop in Binham, a five-minute drive or half an hour’s walk away. There’s a petrol station and small food shop here if you want to pair your milk with some crunchy cereal and a family-friendly pub for later in the day. While you’re there, pick your way around the old church ruins at Binham Priory. Then, head to sights further afield from a bus stop within walking distance of the site or hire a bicycle from Wighton (a 10-minute drive) and pedal your way around the countryside trails and lanes. Back on site, things are kept fairly basic with a unisex amenities block and dishwashing area, plus chemical disposal points and handy water taps around the site. Why not buy bundles of kiln dried logs to feed a campfire in one of the firepits, too?

What customers say

Vast, quiet fields where you choose your pitch. Clean facilities (showers with hot water, loos, washing-up). USBs, fire pits, freezer packs a bonus. Great for North Norfolk, but generator has set times and sinks/toilets can be busy in peak season.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Clean facilities, quiet location, no light pollution, stunning sunset and star gazing! Camp fire hire, friendly welcoming hosts, easy access/self check in and set up. Great value for money. Benches for meal times. Friendly but private/respectful feel. It wont let me delete the wifi rating but no internet obviously which is a good thing for me! Lots of lovely places to visit 10mins away including vegan options in Holt and seal trips, stunning views in Blackney etc

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked OMG! Large open spaces for free camping - not restricted to pitches. Two large fields, one with wild grass in the centre (so preventing people playing football etc and making a racket), but the second field is totally open. The showers are very good indeed, free of charge and can be adjusted by the user. Toilets are squeaky clean. Plenty of clean stand pipes for water. Free freezer box to chill ice blocks. Plenty of USB points for phone charging. Honesty box for the fire pit, and wood - pay cash or online.

Just loved the space and freedom to pitch where you like - without noise (or dogs!!!). Remote quiet location.

Disliked NOTHING, but good to know: being so remote and quiet, a generator is used for electricity for everything (set times for AM and PM). However shower powered by gas so hot water in showers all day long.

All told that is part of the charm and beauty of this very quiet, well appointed campsite. You know this campsite is loved and looked after by it's owners.

Local attractions

If you’re after pine trees, sandy beaches and a cutesy quay to try out crabbing, Wells-next-the-Sea (a 15-minute drive) is a good stop to add to your list. Further along the coast, there’s an almost endless expanse of beach at the Holkham National Nature Reserve (15 minutes) or Cromer (half an hour), a family-friendly seaside town with a nice stretch of sand good for surfing, windsurfing or kitesurfing in the sea. For those who want to name all the different types of birds, Stiffkey (10 minutes) is the place to go. And for more wildlife discovery, Pensthorpe Natural Park (15 minutes) is nicely geared towards families with outdoor activities and eco playgrounds. Looking for something a little different? Holkham Hall (20 minutes) has a walled garden and a rather stately home. There’s also Wiveton Hall (10 minutes) for more historical garden tours. Afterwards, perhaps check out the old abbey grounds and shrine in the historic village of Walsingham (10 minutes), which has popular pilgrimage routes.
