3 nights at Freedom Farm Camping

This is a lovely rural campsite. We stayed for three nights, visiting Cambridge during the days and enjoying the nature and quiet when we got back to the tent. Facilities are clean and well-designed. The owners are very friendly and were quick to help when when we couldn't find our firepit. A wonderful place to relax--recommended.

2 nights at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Friendly, spacious, well located, good facilities, great access to the river. Some noise overnight from neighbouring barns, so Hest to pitch the other side of the field

1 night at Canal Camping

Easy to get to and To find. Loads of good camping spots. Great central bathroom and clean-up stations. Definitely a highlight of my trip and a solid camp ground!

1 night at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Really lovely back to basics site, we will visit again!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Pitch up wherever you like, there's no marked pitches. There's a great choice from camping in the woods to a wild field if you prefer to be in the sun. Sam, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. There are no showers, however, the choice of camping locations make up for this. Great for a weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I loved it here I was bit disappointed that I couldn’t get into the woods and have a fire due to the forest been too dry but then if you wanna campsite then you should keep it clean and tidy so people can have that but other than that it was the best place ever

1 night at Freedom Farm Camping

really great campsite, feels like you're away from everything, no road noise at all. Beautiful farm and the sauna was such an added win. We'll defo be back

Weekend Trip to Chigborough Farm

We really enjoyed our stay here. Facilities were great apart from the toaster in the outdoor kitchen which tripped the electric but Samantha sorted it straight away following a message to her. Was lovely walking around the lake and we enjoyed some delicious cakes at the farm cafe. My son had fun at the kids playground. Everyone was polite and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Gorgeous little camp site, perfect for families, very peaceful and the river was fab for paddle boarding and swimming. Very clean and staff were super friendly and helpful, pitches are very generous making it feel spacious and private, would definitely recommend this little gem.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We stayed here for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend with our 3 children and 2 labradors. We used our inflatable kayak on the river as many families did, I would just highlight that the river to the left of the campsite can get a little fast in the wind and can be difficult to navigate back to site. We walked into March and had lunch at The Acre which was good. Walk to March took about 45 mins, slow walking, however, to walk by the river all the way you need to cross over a bridge on a fast road- there is a footpath though. The site itself is well kept and the wardens are lovely. Gutted we didn't arrive on the Friday for Pizza night! The pitches are very spacious and there is plenty of room for the kids to play games and stretch their legs. People have a good time, however, remain respectful of the other campers.

Weekend Trip to Secret Wood Glamping

This was a lovely area for our tent camping. There was a beautiful outlook onto the surrounding farms. There were lots of amenities to make the stay comfortable including a clean bio toilet, warm shower and a small hut to cook in, especially useful when raining. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

Had one night here and was lovely, Helena is so friendly and welcoming, the site has nice views, all facilities are very nice. Would definitely recommend and might even visit again in the future!

1 night at Secret Wood Glamping

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful campsite. The area was quiet, surrounded by nature, and perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. Everything was clean and well-kept — from the pitches to the toilets and showers. It felt safe and calm, which made it perfect for our family. We really appreciated how peaceful the atmosphere was, and we left feeling refreshed and thankful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful place to camp!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Family Camping

A nice quiet farm run site, enclosed field for the Dogs to have a run too. Site can also supply logs and fire lighting kits if needed.

3 nights at Freedom Farm Camping

A lovely, quiet site. Wonderfully clean air, dark skies, far from traffic noise and flight paths. Facilities are excellent and the site is safe and secure. The camping field is level and well tended, surrounded by attractive fields and woods. There are some nice walking paths nearby, and likewise good and quiet roads for cycling (although some surprisingly hilly for Suffolk). Note that the nearest shops are some distance away, so do plan ahead. You'll have a great time.

3 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

A lovely peaceful place, easy to find, very basic, just what we were looking for and Rendlesham forest is beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Absolutely loved this place. Great location & great to simply be off grid for a few nights. We sat by our little camp fire watching the moon & stars & listening to an owl hooting away. Loved it!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Beautiful spot. Peaceful and perfect location to explore local area. Recommended.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

The Red Lion

Simple site in the grounds of a 19th-century coaching inn Lincolnshire Wolds walks and Skegness within half an hour's drive Pub with food; a 10-minute walk from the Aviation Heritage Centre Hikes, wildlife and generous helpings of history are all dished up at The Red Lion, a simple site in the grounds of an old Lincolnshire inn. At a crossroads in the village of East Kirkby, The Red Lion has been refreshing travellers since 1841; more recently, it was a favoured watering hole for the men and women of Bomber Command in World War II, and the pub’s décor pays tribute to them. The staff are steeped in the history of the old coaching inn and the nearby airfield, and can point you towards the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, 10 minutes’ walk down the road and on the site of the former Royal Air Force base. The Red Lion makes a splendid base for aviation and wartime history buffs, with the heritage centre nearby and the displays and memorials of the International Bomber Command Centre a 45-minute drive away. As it’s on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and around half an hour's drive from the coast, it’s also well placed for walks, stately home visits and wildlife watching. Most importantly, it’s at the back of a friendly pub (which has varied winter and summer opening days and hours, but is always closed on Mondays). It serves hot food alongside local beers and other refreshing tipples. Canine companions are welcome in the bar (it’d be nice if they bought a drink…) and on the site.

The Mushroom Farm Campsite

36 units · Glamping, Tents11 acres · Oakham, England

Authentic old school camping! Bring your own tent and stay in one our lovely private pitches. Our pitches are big enough to park your car and pitch a large family tent with plenty of space for sitting and BBQs. Our site is off grid so you will be provided with plenty of fresh water in containers. There are compost toilets dotted around the site which are cleaned daily and there is firewood and charcoal available to buy. We also have a little honesty shop selling a few bits and pieces that campers often forget to pack. The mushroom farm feels more like wild camping or a pioneers camp. It is not a manicured site so we recommend bringing an airbed for a comfortable sleep. But a positive you’ll be sharing it with wildlife – frequent visitors include songbirds, red kites, kestrels, owls, bats, lizards, frogs and toads, snakes, rabbits and hares, muntjac deer, mice, foxes, dragonflies, butterflies, moths and beetles… The camp is set on a mushroom farm with young trees and large areas left to rewild. This means flowering thistles and uneven ground so it may not be suitable for babies, very young children or people with health conditions. The 2025 camping season at the Mushroom farm is from Friday the 23rd of May until Sunday the 22rd of June. We are then closed for a few weeks but open again from Friday the 18th of July until Sunday the 17th of August.

Campsites near Hunstanton guide

Overview

Known affectionately as “Sunny Hunny,” Hunstanton’s coastal views, Victorian squares, and welcoming locals make it a popular destination for campers looking to explore Norfolk Coast AONB. Stay on-site in seaside cottages and woodland lodges for an immersive camping experience. Or venture deeper into nature and travel south to Thetford Forest for red trail cycling paths and outdoor concerts. From there, cross over to The Broads to explore riverways and spot rare wildlife, like Britain’s largest butterfly. Camping opportunities near these natural attractions cater to all camping styles, from traditional tent pitches to Mongolian yurts to luxury cabin rentals.

Where to go

Norfolk Coast AONB

Dive deeper into Norfolk Coast, a designated Area of Natural Beauty. Overlooking the North Sea, the diverse coastal landscape features marshes, farmland, valleys, dunes, and woodlands, with small villages and towns scattered throughout. Miles of walking and cycling trails take campers to heritage landmarks such as Creake Abbey, Holkham Hall, and Warham Camp. While wild camping isn’t allowed in the area, campers can choose from a variety of registered and authorised accommodations, including seaside cottage rentals and campsites for tents and caravans. At the centre of Norfolk Coast, find woodland lodges and pitches for caravans with electric hookups, water, TV connections, and grey waste disposal.

Thetford Forest

Just under 40 miles south lies Thetford Forest, the largest man-made lowland forest in the UK. Start at High Lodge Visitor Centre, which offers helpful information, food and drink, adventure play areas, and concerts. Then traverse marked cycling trails for varying experience levels, including two “red trails” for those up to the challenge. Stay the night at Little Lodge Farm’s caravan pitches and cabins with full kitchens, showers, and spacious balconies. Or find caravan sites nearby outfitted with water, wifi, and children’s play areas.

The Broads

Travel east to Broads National Park, also known as Norfolk Broads or simply “the Broads.” The park’s complex waterways are home to some of the rarest wildlife in England, including the swallowtail—Britain’s largest butterfly. Traverse walking and cycling trails set against beautiful landscapes before venturing into nearby villages to enjoy local crafts, produce, and a pint in the local pub. The Broads’ range of camping, glamping, and caravanning options includes simple tent pitches to shepherds’ huts to one large Mongolian yurt. All pitches are within easy access to washrooms with showers and flush toilets, outside washing areas, and an on-site supply shop.

When to go

Hunstanton’s peak season is during warm summer months where temperatures often reach 22°C. The winter off-season sees an average high of about 8°C. While some rain is common year-round, Hunstanton and its surrounding areas don’t get snow, even in winter.
