  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendick's Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendick's Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

What customers say

Goed versorgde terrein met vriendelike personeel. Gaste prys die skoon geriewe, vyf visdamme en die kafee/kroeg met goeie kos. Baie plek op staanplekke. Ontspanne atmosfeer. Moontlike padgeraas of gehore, soms stortdruk- of netheidsprobleme.</blockquote>

Liked Another great stay at Fendicks. Owners and staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you. Hubbles and Rondo’s are a great addition. Food and drinks are tasty and reasonably priced. The whole site is well kept and a great place to stay even if you’re not into fishing.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked We have stayed there before in a cabin. This was my Grandson’s first ever camping trip, we used the Campervan this time with an awning and paid extra for an electric hook up.
We pitched near Lake 5 close to to the Toilet/Shower block.
This was an ideal location for us.

Reception staff are very friendly and well organised

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Tidy site. Clean facilities. Bar and restaurant on site. Limited hours during the week. Plenty of fishing available but not compulsive to fish. Lodges and shepherd's hut accommodation also available. Electricity charged extra but not expensive. Short dog walk on the site

Disliked Unfortunately the grounds person cut the grass every morning from 8am until mid morning 3 days running which isn't great if you like a lie in .Traffic noise noticeable as on a busy road

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked We love pitching next to the lake to FISH shame guests who come to socialise and play loud music can’t go to the back away from the lakes. This is the only time we had a problem with that.

Disliked Guests who aren’t fishing maybe not pitching around the lakes. They tend to make more noise with one person playing music so loud and when asked to turn it down wasn’t very cooperative as he was there to party

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
