  • Four-acre and level pub and riverside site on the Norfolk Broads
  • Private fishing lake in a wildlife haven
  • Free slipway use, barbecue area and food served by the fire
There are times when you just want a ferry relaxing break. Away from the hordes in the seaside resorts, alongside peaceful riverside scenery, and with the option on site of river fishing, lakeside fishing or just taking a pint of Woodforde Wherry to sup by the riverside and watch the ferry chug back and forth… All, thoroughly, sorted. Reedham Ferry Touring and Camping Park is a pub site in the Norfolk Broads, with a private fishing lake available to guests to land carp, bream or rudd; you can also fish for free from the site on the banks of the River Yare. The four-acre site is level and landscaped with views of the Norfolk countryside and marshes; if you’re not fishing, take your binoculars to the riverside to spy on the local herons, marsh harriers and kingfishers. And if you do want to be beside the seaside for a day, Great Yarmouth is about 11 miles away. Pitches at Reedham Ferry include free use of the slipway if you’re bringing along a dinghy or two. There’s a barbecue area on site for putting together your own grub – or you could just sit by the fire in The Archers and have your dinner brought to you: a ferry good deal all round.

Elsie S.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked It was quiet overnight

Disliked The shower facilities are a fixed temperature and operate on a push button which needs to be constantly held in to operate. This makes for an unpleasant one handed washing experience.

The hand washing facilities similarly are push button and need to be held down with one hand while you wash the other which prevents any proper hand washing technique and is wholly unhygienic.

These push button operators are probably to save money on part of the camp site, and ideally would remain on a little longer but have clearly been adjusted to stay on for the shortest amount of time possible. I wouldn't stay again because of it and was glad I only stayed for one night.

The bathroom facilities as a whole were not clean and smelt like a drains at least in the ladies.

There were bright LED lights around the campsite which stayed on all night. Not great for a good nights sleep.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great location and non electric pitches very quiet. Good pub in staggering distance. Clean facilities.

Disliked No reception you just sort of pitch up and get on with it, nor is there a campsite shop for those camping essentials (milk, bread, bacon).

Trevor M.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Nice walk to Reedham village, but not many choices of walking with dog anywhere off the site. The grass was kept nice in the big field. Interesting to watch the ferry.

Disliked There are not enough toilets for so many people. Only 4 for the women and 2 for men. The block at the top end near the pub had a sign saying 'these toilets no longer in use'. This is something that is important when there are so many camping in tents etc. Never saw a member of staff apart from the man cutting the grass. We were without hook-up so managed in the overflow field, but looking at the electric side, it looked a bit crowded with everyone parked in different ways. No real structure and a bit chaotic. Rubbish bags were piled up in the 'bin area' which clearly got worse over time.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The area was lovely. Local pub served good beer

Disliked Your name was on a board as you drove on the site with your pitch number on it. No map to tell you where to go so driving round trying to find your pitch.
The pitches were very close together and poorly laid out
Toilets not clean and for the amount of pitches not enough.
The site was not well maintained
We booked for four nights and stayed one.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Location was interesting being below the water level from River Yare was weird

Disliked Facilities were incredibly tired. The entire site was down to one functional gents loo. One loo and shower block was completely closed. Adjoining pub did food a couple of days per week but cost twice as much as it should. Barking dogs all night didn’t help.

Local attractions

Walk along the river to Reedham village for fish and chips, Reedham Quay and more pubs: the Lord Nelson has free gigs most nights, or you could take the yard of ale challenge in The Ship – both pubs are dog-friendly and dish up huge portions of food. The Humpty Dumpty Brewery, one of the breweries supplying the site, has a shop selling its beer alongside local ciders and produce. For families, Pettitts Adventure Park is also in Reedham, with a kids' theatre and animals to feed and pet. From Reedham, take the 12-mile cycle route starting from Reedham Quay and going through local towns and villages, or take the chain ferry across the River Yare to drive on through the countryside. But as it’s the Broads, a bit more mucking about in boats is definitely in order: as well as the vehicle ferry from the park itself, several companies in the area offer cruises and guided tours or you can go rowing, canoeing or sailing under your own steam. Take the kids to goggle at the gibbons at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, just outside Great Yarmouth: the seaside town is about 11 miles from Reedham Ferry and will keep small fry entertained for hours (if not days) with its circus, Sea Life, seafront Golden Mile and 12 amusement arcades.
