Best campsites in Norfolk: 7 top picks for 2026

Norfolk consistently earns its place on any shortlist of the best campsites in England, and for good reason. These seven best campsites in Norfolk span everything from ancient heathland and the Norfolk Broads to the North Norfolk coast and quiet inland woodland, giving travellers a genuinely varied county to explore at their own pace. Pick up a campervan or caravan from a local Camplify owner and you have one of Britain's most rewarding touring destinations right at your wheels.

Browse campervans and caravans for hire in Norfolk if you already know your dates.

Norfolk sits roughly two hours from London by road, making it one of the more accessible long-weekend destinations in the east of England. Camplify trip data shows the county draws a strong mix of families, couples, and solo travellers, with demand peaking around bank holiday weekends and the school summer holidays. If you are travelling from the Midlands, Birmingham is around two and a half hours away, and hirers picking up a vehicle through Camplify's community of local owners can find options across the region. The county's quiet back roads, big skies, and relative lack of hills make it ideal for first-time campervan and caravan tourers. For those who have already explored the best Norfolk motorhome campsites, this guide covers the wider mix of top campsites Norfolk has to offer.

Norfolk campsites on the coast and heathland: north Norfolk's finest

Kelling Heath Holiday Park

Kelling Heath Holiday Park sits on a private estate of 320 acres of heathland and woodland between Sheringham and Holt, and it is the most popular park in Norfolk among Camplify travellers by some distance. The setting is genuinely distinctive: mature trees, open heath, and a sense of space that most coastal sites cannot match. The park has its own nature trails, and red squirrels have been spotted on the estate, which tells you something about how carefully the land is managed.

Facilities are extensive without feeling clinical. Electric hook-up pitches are well spread across the site, hardstanding options are available for motorhomes and caravans, and there is an indoor pool, a bar and restaurant, and a small shop on site. The RNLI lifeguard beaches at Sheringham and Cromer are both within easy reach, and the North Norfolk Railway runs a steam service from nearby Sheringham that families tend to enjoy. Hirers who've stayed here rate the site's calm atmosphere highly, particularly outside the main school holidays when the heathland feels almost entirely your own.

Book as early as possible for August and the late May bank holiday. The combination of a strong reputation and a relatively contained number of pitches means availability disappears quickly, especially for larger motorhome pitches with full hook-up.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 25 miles west of Norwich; around 2 hours from London

• Best for: Families, couples, nature lovers, motorhome tourers

• Key facilities: Electric hook-up, hardstanding pitches, indoor pool, bar and restaurant, shop, nature trails, motorhome service point

• Book ahead: August, late May bank holiday, half-term weeks

Deer's Glade Caravan & Camping Park

Deer's Glade Caravan & Camping Park is set in a quiet woodland clearing near Hanworth in the heart of north Norfolk, a short drive from the market town of Aylsham and the National Trust's Blickling Estate. The woodland setting keeps the site sheltered and private, and the owners have maintained a genuinely relaxed atmosphere that appeals to those who want to get away from busier coastal parks.

The park accommodates tourers, motorhomes, and tents, with electric hook-up pitches spread across well-maintained grass. It is a strongly dog friendly site, and Camplify owners who know the area suggest pairing a stay here with a walk through Blickling's parkland or a drive north to the Broads. The pace is unhurried, which is rather the point.

Facilities are practical rather than resort-style: clean amenities blocks, hook-up across most pitches, and a peaceful environment that suits couples and small families equally. It is not the place to come if you want an on-site pool or entertainment; it is the place to come if you want clean air, birdsong, and a good book.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 12 miles north of Norwich

• Best for: Couples, dog owners, those seeking a quieter woodland retreat

• Key facilities: Electric hook-up, pet friendly, well-maintained amenities, dog walking from the site

• Book ahead: Summer school holidays and bank holiday weekends

Whitlingham Broad Campsite

Whitlingham Broad Campsite occupies one of Norfolk's most unusual positions: right on the edge of Whitlingham Country Park, less than three miles from Norwich city centre. For those who want to combine camping in Norfolk with a proper city visit, this is the most practical option on the list.

The site is run by the Whitlingham Charitable Trust, which manages the country park and the broad itself. Watersports, cycling trails, and walking routes are all available directly from the campsite, and the broad is a fine spot to watch the sunrise if you are an early riser. The site suits tents and smaller campervans particularly well, and the proximity to Norwich means you can pick up provisions from the city or visit its excellent market without a long drive. Well-rated by the Camplify community for its practicality and access to the water, it fills quickly during the summer months.

Norwich is less than ten minutes away by road, which makes this one of the only campsites in Norfolk where you can genuinely walk to a cathedral city. Pick up a campervan from a local Camplify owner in Norwich and you may not even need to drive on your first evening.

Quick facts:

• Distance: 3 miles southeast of Norwich city centre

• Best for: City-break campers, watersports enthusiasts, families with older children

• Key facilities: Watersports access, walking and cycling trails, proximity to Norwich

• Book ahead: Summer weekends and school holidays fill quickly

Camping in Norfolk's Broads and southeast: village parks and waterside stays

Clippesby Hall

Clippesby Hall is set within the grounds of a private hall in the village of Clippesby, near the market town of Acle in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. It is consistently one of the most celebrated campsites in Norfolk, and the community of Camplify hirers who have stayed here speaks warmly of the setting: a working estate with woodland pitches, open meadow areas, and a genuinely thoughtful approach to the camping experience.

The park has a range of pitch types from open grass to sheltered woodland spots, with electric hook-up across most areas and hardstanding available for motorhomes. There is a heated outdoor pool, a café and bar, tennis courts, and bike hire on site, which makes it especially well-suited to families. The Broads National Park is immediately accessible, and a hire boat trip from nearby Horning or Potter Heigham is a natural addition to a stay here. Camplify owners in the area regularly point hirers towards Clippesby as a base for exploring the Broads by water as well as road.

The estate's sense of history adds something that purpose-built holiday parks rarely manage. The wood-fired hot tubs and glamping options are available for those who want them, but the touring and motorhome pitches hold their own without needing the extras.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 12 miles northeast of Norwich, near Acle

• Best for: Families, Broads explorers, couples who want a bit of character in their stay

• Key facilities: Electric hook-up, hardstanding, heated outdoor pool, café and bar, bike hire, glamping options

• Book ahead: July and August, Easter, and half-term weeks

Diglea Caravan Park

Diglea Caravan Park is a small, well-regarded adults-only site near Scratby on the Norfolk coast, a short drive from Great Yarmouth. The site is quiet by design, catering specifically to couples and solo travellers who want a calm base without the noise of a larger family resort. The beach at Scratby is a short walk away, and the Norfolk coast path is accessible for those who enjoy a morning ramble.

A favourite spot for Camplify hirers who prefer a more relaxed pace, the park offers electric hook-up pitches, modern amenities, and a tidy, well-maintained environment. Great Yarmouth's seafront is close enough for a day visit without the site itself feeling like an extension of the amusements. Camplify owners who regularly tour the Norfolk coast suggest this is a good base for day trips north towards the Broads or south along the coast.

The adults-only policy means it is worth flagging if you are travelling with children, but for couples touring Norfolk in a campervan or caravan, it is a considered and peaceful choice.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 8 miles north of Great Yarmouth

• Best for: Adult couples, solo travellers, coast-focused tourers

• Key facilities: Electric hook-up, modern amenities, short walk to beach, adults only

• Book ahead: Bank holiday weekends and peak summer

West Norfolk campsites: woodland and rural touring

Pinecones Caravan & Camping

Pinecones Caravan & Camping sits in a clearing within Swanton Novers Great Wood near Fakenham, in a part of Norfolk that most visitors pass through rather than stop in. That is their loss. The woodland setting keeps the site sheltered in all weathers, and the absence of a resort atmosphere is very much a selling point for the hirers who return year after year.

Recommended by the Camplify community as a solid mid-Norfolk base, Pinecones offers well-spaced pitches with electric hook-up, clean facilities, and direct access to woodland walks from the site. Fakenham Racecourse is nearby for those who fancy a day at the races, and the North Norfolk coast is under half an hour north. For a site that prioritises simplicity and setting over entertainment, it delivers consistently. Those touring from the west of England would do well to compare it with the 5 best Brecon Beacons campsites for a sense of the contrast different landscapes offer.

The site is particularly good for dog owners. Off-lead woodland walking starts more or less from the pitch, and Camplify owners who tour with dogs specifically mention it as one of the more practical pet friendly stops in west Norfolk.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 20 miles northwest of Norwich, near Fakenham

• Best for: Dog owners, nature lovers, those avoiding busier coastal parks

• Key facilities: Electric hook-up, pet friendly, woodland walks from site, quiet environment

• Book ahead: School summer holidays and bank holiday weekends

Two Mills Touring Park

Two Mills Touring Park is a well-presented adults-only touring park near North Walsham in north Norfolk, consistently recommended by Camplify travellers who tour the county regularly. The site has won a string of industry awards over the years, and the attention to detail in the maintenance of pitches and facilities reflects that.

All pitches have electric hook-up, and the site offers a mix of grass and hardstanding options suitable for motorhomes, campervans, and caravans of most sizes. The amenities block is a step above the average, and the heated toilet and shower facilities are a genuine comfort on cooler Norfolk nights. Camplify owners who know north Norfolk well suggest Two Mills as a reliable base for exploring the coast between Cromer and Sea Palling, as well as the Norfolk Broads to the south. North Walsham itself is a quiet market town with good independent shops and a useful supermarket for stocking up. Those who enjoy touring further afield might find the 11 best NC500 campsites for motorhomes a useful contrast after Norfolk's gentler terrain.

Two Mills does not take tents, so it is worth confirming pitch type when booking. For motorhome and caravan tourers picking up a vehicle through Camplify's community of local owners, it is one of the most polished and consistently reliable stops in the county.

Quick facts:

• Distance: Approximately 14 miles north of Norwich, near North Walsham
