Norwich camping guide

Where to go

Around Norwich

There’s no need to travel far outside of Norwich to find quality campsites. Several glamping, camping, and caravan sites stand within walking distance of the town centre, so it’s easy to tick off city sightseeing along with more rural romps. To the east, Whitlingham Country Park leads into several wetland nature reserves, popular among birdwatchers and walkers.

The Broads

Arguably Norfolk’s premier outdoor attraction, the Broads National Park links Norwich to the coastline through an extensive network of navigable waterways. Luxury retreats, no-frills field sites, and family-friendly campgrounds line the riverbanks, providing plenty of overnight options for boaters, kayakers, bikers, and hikers.

Thetford Forest & the Brecks

Head a short way inland to discover the unusual mix of heathland, woodland, and balmy microclimate unique to the Brecks. Working farms, touring parks, and back-to-basics campgrounds provide a convenient base to explore the region’s nature-rich trails and rivers, which are ideal for a spot of wild swimming.

The Wash & Norfolk Coast AONB

On the edge of the Fens, the Wash estuary is a must-see for wildlife watchers, with its salt marshes and mudflats housing all manner of flora and fauna. Follow the coastline east into the Norfolk Coast AONB and discover quintessential English seaside, with holiday parks, glampsites, and wild-style coastal camps letting adventurers bed down beneath the dark Norfolk sky.

When to go

Norfolk is especially busy during the summer season, so if you’re keen to beat the crowds, consider timing your visit between September and April, when less foliage means better views of the region’s wildlife and you’re almost certain to secure a seat for a cosy pub lunch. Be aware that some camping sites close for winter.

Know before you go

  • Norwich is around two hours’ train journey from London Liverpool Street, and the north coast further still. Consider catching a direct coach or, if you’re headed to a more secluded spot, bringing your own vehicle—though be aware that driving is discouraged in some of Norfolk’s rural areas.
  • Several camping supply shops can be found in and around Norwich, though some campsites also hire gear out, so it’s worth checking before shelling out for new equipment. Similarly, many campsites offer boat or cycle hire, especially around the Broads.
