  • Spacious Norfolk farm site on the edge of the Broads National Park
  • Beaches and Norwich city centre around 20 minutes' drive
  • Laidback pick-your-own pitch site with firepits provided
The Broads, the beaches, the buzzy city of Norwich… whatever it is that’s enticed you to Norfolk, you’ll be in a handy location when you stay at The Old Vicarage Campsite. This spacious and laidback site is in a rural location five minutes’ drive from Acle, on the edge of the Broads National Park and about 20 minutes’ drive from both Norwich and the Norfolk coastline. There’s heaps of space at this farm site, but not heaps of guests – numbers are always kept on the lower side so that everyone has plenty of space to set their stuff up as they like, and to relax and/or play games. It’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup here, so friends and families can pitch up close together while others seek out a more secluded spot elsewhere around the two-acre site if they like. Kids, dogs, groups, barbecues, awnings, outdoor tables, badminton nets… this is a chilled-out site where you’ll be able to bring whoever/whatever you like (within reason…) Campfires are a must, of course, and they’re made nice and easy with the provision of ‘Bernie Brazier’ firepits for keeping warm or cooking on the hotplate. The one thing that’s not allowed at the pitches is cars, to help keep the place peaceful and safe for everyone (especially free-roaming kids). Wheelbarrows are provided to help you cart all your kit from car to pitch, and can occasionally be handy for transporting tired kids too. Other facilities include toilets, showers and a washing-up area.

Local attractions

As you’re just on the edge of the Broads National Park, it makes sense to start there – perhaps, with a walk, a bike ride, a boat trip or a canoe tour to see some of the watery scenery. Popular hubs for all of this include Reedham (10 minutes’ drive), Upton (10 minutes) and Salhouse (15 minutes). Wroxham is about 20 minutes’ drive away and there are family attractions nearby like Pettitts Animal Adventure Park (10 minutes) and BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes). There are plenty of options around for sandy beaches too – from Gorleston-on-Sea (20 minutes) up to Sea Palling (half an hour). Horsey Gap (half an hour) is often a good place to spot seals, while Great Yarmouth (15 minutes) is well known for its traditional seaside amusements. For a day out in Norwich, it’s about a 25-minute drive or you can take the train or bus from Acle. The city has lots of historic buildings including the castle and cathedral, and plenty of more modern attractions too.
