🌲 North Norfolk Camping & Glamping Holt Hollow - Lakeside Forest Retreat
North Norfolk Camping & Glamping, known as Holt Hollow, provides a rare, tranquil, and back-to-nature escape in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. Nestled in a wooded area on the outskirts of the AONB, the site's most distinctive feature is its beautiful natural lake and surrounding peaceful woodlands, ideal for walks and wildlife spotting.
🔥 Back-to-Basics & Off-Grid Ethos
The site strongly emphasizes its back-to-basics philosophy:
Off-Grid Living: Holt Hollow operates off-grid with limited to no phone coverage, promoting full disconnection from technology. Glamping Shepherds Huts & Yurts utilise gas-powered showers and solar lighting, with log burners for heat.
Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are allowed. Glamping units include private fire pits/braziers for evening gatherings under the clear, dark Norfolk skies, which are excellent for stargazing.
Core Facilities: Essential amenities are kept clean and functional, including shower/toilet blocks and fresh drinking water stations.
Glamping 🎪
We have Glamping Shepherds Huts and Yurts, nestled within our woodland retreat. Rustic with wood burners, cosy linens and everything you need to enjoy your time.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Woodland & Accommodation
Our campsite is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming companions on all pitches and in our glamping accommodation. The open meadow and surrounding woodlands provide ample space for walks, and the lake allows for paddling.
🗺️ Local Area: Holt Village and the Coast
The site’s rural location is conveniently close to key North Norfolk highlights:
Holt Village: The charming Georgian market town of Holt is just a short 5-minute drive away. It is perfect for exploring independent shops, cafes, and art galleries, and for accessing local gems like Holt Country Park.
The Coast: The stunning North Norfolk Coast (part of the AONB) is only a short drive away, providing access to:
Blakeney Point (famous for seal watching boat trips).
Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Bay.
Coastal walks along the Norfolk Coast Path.
North Norfolk Camping & Glamping offers an authentic outdoor adventure, blending rustic living with the comfort of having the best of the Norfolk coast and countryside within easy reach.

Set on a traditional family-run farm in rural Norfolk, Snettisham Meadows is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Snettisham and short drive away from North Norfolk's beautiful white sandy beaches.
Animal-mad campers, form an orderly queue please, as this 329-acre farm has several attractions up its sleeve for you, including meet-and-greets with pigs and ponies, lamb feeding in spring and deer safaris. There’s also a dog paddock for rent so four-legged companions can have a frisk around, and an area on the camping field is reserved for guests with dogs.
Campfires and barbecues are permitted and you can borrow firepits from the site owners. Logs are also available to buy. The site is only 10 minutes’ walk from a village pub if you fancy a change of scenery.
After a fun-filled day exploring this lovely part of Norfolk, come back to your pitch and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies and some serious stargazing.
Facilities include washing-up sinks, a small shop at reception for essential supplies and tourist information, USB phone charging and a freezer for ice packs.

Brilliant campsite and looking forward to going back. Quiet and excellent showers and toilets, very clean. Beautiful setting and within the country park and yet so close to Norwich city centre. Perfect for either staying put and going for walks or for exploring. Nearly village of Trowse has good pub and food options.

Excellent site with plenty of space, facilities are also excellent and clean.
Its a great place to stay and use as a base if visiting Norfolk, within easy reach of superstores and A47.
However, the White House Farm Village shops were not open on Sunday and Monday on a Bank Holiday weekend, this didnt affect our stay but was a bit of a disappointment.
Overall a good site and would definitely use again.

A lovely, quiet, basic site. Has all the necessities like flushing toilets and hot showers, but not much else. Fire pits with cooking grills free to use, seasoned firewood available to purchase. 2 minute walk to farm shop for fresh meat and veg, or supermarket 5 mins drive up the road. Plenty of space to set up, no restrictions on pitches, just a general expectation of being courteous to other campers. Grass cut to a good level, ground mostly flat. Would definitely return. Great value site.

Sadly the weather was shocking for our trip and there were only another couple of campers so after battling with our set-up in high winds after enjoying a fabulous coffee and cake in the farm shop cafe in arrival (beautiful shop and cafe) - we finally were about to have a brew outdoors and take in the lovely orchards that became our view. Sadly the winds kept getting stronger and as the sun was going down we made the decision not to stay as the winds were only going to get stronger. Also lack of other campers and morale to keep us going we left and headed home. Nice facilities, toilets were clean and washing/cleaning set up looks good and loved the area that held the fridge and charging points. Just a shame the UK weather let us down - for our very first camping trip.

What a unique and beautiful place to have stumbled across as a last minute change of travel plans. I almost forgot I was in Norfolk, this spot is incredibly well maintained, peaceful, a dream to wake up by the water and watch the swans and heron and has all the amenities you could need for a camping trip or similar. Great location, everywhere is accessible and yet you don’t feel trapped in the hustle and bustle of the coast. And getting a HOT shower right in nature topped it off, just what I needed.

We loved everything about this campsite.
We were made to feel very welcome upon our arrival and had a spacious pitch overlooking the beautiful pond. The facilities were clean and tidy with great outdoor showers.
We thoroughly recommend this spot especially if you’re cycling through as Holt is a short ride down the rode for any supplies you may need. Will definitely return the next time we are in Norfolk. Thanks for a great stay.

We had a fabulous night here. Lovely, quiet field with plenty of space. The toilets and showers were very clean. No light pollution at all-great for star gazing.
There were fire pits to hire and wood if we needed it.
Lovely dog walks from the camp and a good local pub nearby.
Peter and his wife were super friendly and incredibly helpful. We will definitely be back!

I had a beautiful peaceful night camping with my van in Archers Field. I was very fortunate to have the whole site to myself, sharing it with the owls, kingfisher, ducks, robins and blackbirds and all the other creatures. Great location and clean facilities. Will be going back for sure!

My grandchildren and I have stayed at Brakehill Lodge Farm twice. It has proved to be our happy place. Peaceful, and just remote enough to escape the madding crowd.
Clare is a considerate host. She loves her home and all the nature it encompasses.

Where to go
Broads National Park
Also known as “The Broads” or “Norfolk Broads,” Broads National Park is a man-made system of shallow lakes and waterways navigable by boat. As Britain’s biggest protected wetland, many bird species call it home. One of the best places for sightings is Ranworth, a two-story home that provides binoculars and telescopes to search the sweeping views. On-site camping accommodations include picturesque riverside pitches for tents and caravans with flush toilets and shower facilities, nomadic yurt vacation rentals with private firepits, and pod-shaped wooden cabins featuring wet rooms with in-floor heating—great for rainy days in fall and winter.
Thetford Forest
Drive to the alluring Thetford Forest, which is classified as an SSSI—a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This man-made forest has tons of biodiversity, making it a hot spot for wildlife watching. It also features several mountain-biking trails, ranging from family-friendly to expert level. Although wild camping isn’t approved within the forest itself, there are lots of nearby options, including caravan parks, private countryside farms to pitch a tent or park the motorhome, yurts with wood-burning hot tubs, and equestrian campsites with stables and fresh drinking water on tap.
Great Yarmouth
On the coast, just an hour south of Cromer, lies the town of Great Yarmouth with its long sandy beach. River Yare, part of The Broads waterway system, runs through the town, making fishing, swimming, boating, and wildlife watching incredibly convenient. Campers will also find several amusement arcades and theme parks in the area. Discover campsites offering private beach areas, pet-friendly areas, toilets, laundry facilities, and full hookups. More secluded pitches for both tents and caravans also have individual fire rings, picnic tables, and shady trees for privacy.
When to go
Cromer has a temperate climate year-round, with rain in summer and winter. Temperatures very rarely dip below freezing, and they don’t often rise above 30°C in summer. For outdoor activities like swimming and boating, July and August promise the warmest days. For wildlife watching, many migratory bird species travel in spring or fall.
