My experience at fleet paddock was everything I had hoped for and more all the facilities were clean and well kept , I shared the family bell tent with friends and it had everything we needed for a memorable evening, the campsite was pretty busy but still maintained a peaceful family vibe, I would highly recommend this camping site to anyone wanting to escape the chaos of city life and connect with nature.
For me the highlight was the clear sky's at night which revealed the most stars I have ever seen it was amazing 👏 🤩

Lovely glamp/campsite with great amenities and close to Canterbury. We had a great time and our bell tent came with bed and bedding, lights, crockery, camp stove and kettle. Small kitchen on site with a shared fridge. Hot showers, fresh toilets. Tastefully done. Rustic but cute and fully functional. Would highly recommend. Loved the fact you can order logs, kindling, matches etc direct with your booking. We’ll be back.

Bell tent camping near Norwich 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.
