Billingford Lakes and Country Park

A aimé I liked the fact that the campsite was quiet and loved the waking round the lakes some Amazing views

N'a pas aimé We didn’t like the fact there was a lot of sharp stones about on the campsite and when we deflated our tent and packed it away it had a hole in the bottom of the floor of the tent so we had to use our puncture repair kit. It was only our second time of using the brand new tent and now that’s happened so very disheartened. The camp site is fine if you have a campervan or caravan but not ideal for tents as they have really stoney gravel plots to park your car but this just goes all in the grass.

A aimé Beautiful walks around the lakes and good nature trail for children.
Children loved the park and all the play activities - archery, swing ball etc.
Site was lovely and peaceful.
Good central location to see wider activities in Norfolk.
Workers at the cafe were very polite and helpful.

N'a pas aimé Pitches narrow if it was busy. We were lucky that we managed to get on an end pitch so had plenty of space to the side of our awning, but if we had to park in between 2 other caravans we would have struggled with our large awning and would have had no privacy between our awning and the next caravan.
Fishing prices are a little expensive, particularly if you are paying for children as well. We would expect to be a little cheaper if you were staying on the site, even though it is a slightly reduced price when you stay it was still quite expensive compared to other sites we've been to.

A aimé The welcome, the quietness and the great walks through the lakes. They are being honest when saying it would help to be self sufficient but for me the toilets were ok and the showers looked fine, although didn’t use them. Food was great especially the full breakfasts. Pub walkable just, or a 2 min drive.

N'a pas aimé Nothing really and I think this will become popular.

A aimé Lovely large pitches with water and electric. Lovely walks ..Cafe staff were lovely Handy shop Husband loved fishing And great walks round lake and river

N'a pas aimé We Know there is a problem why you can not build closer to camp site... But a long way to walk if you need them and for waste disposal.. No seats around lake to have a rest and look at views

A aimé Peaceful, good dog walks but unfortunately only on a lead. A good choice of pitches for our three days stay as we were the only ones there! This would be a very popular site if only they addressed the facilities issues......

N'a pas aimé I know they state that they cannot install a new toilet block because of a nearby historical landmark (whatever that is!) but I have stayed on numerous sites that have brilliant, portable portacabins that have amazing warm shower rooms each complete with a toilet and sink. All the pitches are serviced with water, drainage and electricity supplied and this is all that is needed for a portacabin. If they were to supply this then the site would be very popular. The Elsan is a good hike away and you have to carry the cassette as it is impossible to wheel it along on the rough surface. Won't be returning unless this is sorted. Saw no one connected to the site during our stay.

A aimé Great kids park
Nature trail was great fun
Beautiful fishing lakes
Lovely walks, plenty of space!
Lots of games for children laid out
Cafe food is lovely
Staff very friendly

N'a pas aimé The pitch was excessively covered in thistles which made setting up the tent a bit painful and kids kept standing on them. Toilet and shower block is a long walk from the pitch. Only two showers and you can only use one at a time because as soon as the other was turned on it went cold, even mid shower. Toilets were without toilet paper and quite grim by the end of the weekend. Didn't receive a welcome email which apparently had the number to phone to open the gate (gates shut 7pm - 7am) phoned the contact number but wasn't given the number and was just told its in the email, explained i didnt have one and essentially was stuck in but they wouldnt give the number, in the end had to ask another camper to phone the gate for us. All in all a lovely weekend at a really lovely country park but the camping seems like a new addition and the details arnt quite right yet.

All customers are emailed a welcome letter via email I can confirm I sent one to yourself on the email the booking was made under 5/08/2025 with a PDF attached of the welcome letter. we now have welcome letters with all information available at reception which is also our catering bus for campers.

We welcome all feedback and will look at the showers not working when both on. We’re sorry to hear that you found the distance a long way from the pitch, there are also 2 toilets near he reception area which are open 24hrs for campers use during your stay.

We wanted to take a moment to explain that our campsite is located next to a protected ancient monument, and due to strict archaeological regulations, we are not permitted to dig or construct permanent infrastructure—such as toilet blocks—within certain areas of the site. Preserving this historical land is something we take seriously, and it does affect where facilities can be placed.

A aimé Lovely quiet site
Great for fishing

N'a pas aimé Toilets quite far from the campsite
Only 2 showers and 2 toilets.

They had some porta loos x2 but these were disgusting.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We’re sorry to hear that you found the distance to the toilet facilities inconvenient during your stay, as detailed in your welcome letter there are also toilets located at the catering bus on site which are also open 24hrs. The Porta Loos were only added to be used in an emergency for those needing the toilet over night they were only put on site on Thursday 21st for the bank holiday weekend.

Our site is primarily aimed at self-sufficient campers, and we make this clear in our site description. While we do offer toilet and shower facilities for those who are not fully self-contained, these are shared with some of our fishing guests, as we have 11 fishing lakes on the 150-acre site, including 3 scenic nature walks one aimed solely for children with an activity trail and activity sheet, a large children’s play area, and our outdoor gym. We strive to create a unique and adventurous environment for families to explore and unwind.
We truly appreciate your understanding and your feedback, which helps us continue to improve.

A aimé Lovely location. Husband particularly enjoyed the fishing.

N'a pas aimé Really need to sort out the toilets and showers.

We apologise regarding the rubbish twice now in so many weeks our contractor Biffa have not emptied our bins and we have had to chase them, we are now looking at alternative contractors as this is not acceptable.

The toilet and shower facilities will be updated during our close season 2025/26
