🌲 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 units (Shepherd's Huts/Bell Tents) utilize gas-powered showers and solar lighting, with log burners for heat.
Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are encouraged and 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 shared shower/toilet blocks and fresh drinking water stations.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Woodland & Accommodation
The campsite is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming companions on all pitches (tents, campervans, caravans) and in most glamping units. The open meadows and surrounding woodlands provide ample space for walks, and the lake allows for safe paddling. Some pitches even allow dogs to be off-lead.
🗺️ 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 (or a longer walk). 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 (approx. 20 minutes) away, providing access to:
Blakeney Point (famous for seal watching boat trips).
Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Bay (vast sandy beaches).
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.

The shepherd hut was clean and very comfortable. The location was peaceful and we had some amazing sunsets and rises.
The wood fired hot tub was great as was the wood fire BBQ which was super easy to use and made the food taste great.
We had a fantastic 2 nights and can’t wait to go back.

1 night at Bircham Windmill
Spotlessly clean, the showers and facilities were as good as at home, the extra added thoughtfulness of clean bath mats tea towels washing up liquid and lots of toilet paper and hand towel and soap.
My shepherds hut was delightful, and yet again everything I needed with the welcoming cream tea, milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, spotlessly clean as everywhere was.
The windmill, the bakery, the café, my grandchildren loved the animals and the play area. There is absolutely not a thing I can think of that was not perfect. Oh I forgot to mention the games room. Thank you

The pitches are a really good size so you don't feel on top of each other. It is a small site, which is a bonus. The shepherd's hut was really comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches and a cream tea to welcome you. The site is very pretty and sitting in the morning with a cup of tea looking at the windmill and seeing the horse, donkey, lambs and chicken was a wonderful start to the day.

2 nights at North Norfolk Camping & Glamping
The hut had everything we needed for a few days off grid and the location was so peaceful! I would thoroughly recommend! The weather was chilly but the log burner was more than enough to keep us warm and cosy. The kitchenette included a fridge and hob and the essential utensils and plenty of logs were provided.

Weekend Trip to Blooms Westerby Farm
Hosts were lovely and used great communication throughout. We stay I'm the bumble hut, which was lovely, clean and cosy. The bed was so comfy but the teddy bear bedding was too hot but my goodness it was so snuggly. Hot tub was lovely as was the evening and morning delivery of tea and breakfast. I recommend this place to anyone, so many different types of accommodation. We will definitely return.

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.
