3 nights at Cosy Camping Suffolk

We absolutely loved this place! Stayed in a pod, very well equipped and super comfortable. Beki is amazing and so lovely! Can’t recommend this enough!

2 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I had a great experience camping in Holistic Wood Camping. It really felt wild camping. As a fan of wild camping, it is a perfect place. There are plenty of hiking routes where you can see old trees and forests. Sam was very helpful and informative who you can talk about various topics.

3 nights at Wardley Hill Campsite

We loved the campsite! It was quiet and rural, and within easy reach of all the lovely beaches of Suffolk. Joe was very welcoming and really helpful wit my lots of recommendations of what to do, good pubs and nice walks. The facilities were basic, but that suited us fine.

Weekend Trip to Hunstanton Camping & Glamping

Close to beach. Next to the Norfolk Coastal walk. Nigel met us on arrival. Introduced to the dogs and chickens (and spotted a fluffy cat). We loved the relaxed air of the camp field but everything looks like it’s in a state of building or maintenance! Which, to be fair Nigel said they were renovating the barn to accommodate more indoor campers. We had ‘camper van with awning’ as we brought our own bell tent, there were more of this type, one shepherds hut in the same field and at least three other shepherds huts secluded behind the barn. There is the potential for four washing up sinks - only one had water working. Toilet block with three male, three female loos and hand washing. Two showers - also in this block. Side of the barn was also showers and single toilets with two stand alone basins outside. Water points everywhere. We used electric hook up which was good and consistent. WiFi was also working where we were, only used it for the radio though. Some hard standing was a bit dubious with the hard core having glass and pottery mixed in. We brought bicycles and really had to watch where we pushed them. Overall, loved the rustic camp ground, would hope the hard standing would be sorted out soon. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Beautifully located , stunning walks into town centre , wild swimming a top must to do if you haven’t tried . Already looking for visit back again

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

It was a pleasure to stay at the holistic campsite. To camp inside a forest is a rare treat. With the bonus of fire pits to use outside the edge also. Sam was a great host. He was very welcoming and informative. I look forward to camping in the warmer weather and hopeful to bring the family too when the shower block is completed.

Weekend Trip to Hunstanton Camping & Glamping

Great location for beach and fantastic walks. Amenities basic, toilets and showers no heating.

1 night at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Loved it here. Stayed for 2 nights. Really nice way of camping. Back to basics. 2 choices, in the woods or on the open heathland. No pitches just choose a spot. Spent 2 nights under the stars with a fire going. Perfect. Sam is very friendly and helpful. He will even deliver you some seasoned wood for the fire for a small fee which helps the cause so highly recommend that. A really good idea they have going on so will definitely be back.

1 night at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Great camping spot! We were the only people there but Sam was very helpful. Great to be able to camp within the trees.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Back to nature! Hard to find a decent woodland to camp, this one's not huge, but it's peaceful and secluded. And the moblie loo was clean. My two pooches had a blast running around.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Absolutely live it here. Really beautiful surroundings, no hassle set up. Cant beat a good fire and camping in the woods. Sam is a great host. Really recommend this place.

1 night at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I enjoyed the camp at Holistic Woods. It's the second visit for me and both visits have been just what I needed to get away from people, park my motorcycle in nature, light a fire and relax.

1 night at Hunstanton Camping & Glamping

lovly location, a warm and friendly welcome, great watching the wildlife at nearby Wild ken hill and RSPB Snettisham , and with being just minutes form the dog friendly beach a; made my stay perfect

2 nights at Hill Farm Secluded Camping

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Hill Farm CL Site. The host was incredibly helpful and polite, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Due to the time of year and the recent rain, the woodland area was a bit boggy, but the host promptly moved us to an all-weather hard-standing pitch, which was perfect. We appreciated having full electric hook-up and fresh water conveniently available right on the pitch. It was a peaceful and relaxing getaway, and we thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. Highly recommended!

2 nights at Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

This site offers a great location with camping spots in both woodland and grassy areas. It provides access to drinking water and a portaloo. Ideal for a weekend getaway, it's a perfect spot to reconnect with nature. If you like (almost) wild camping, this could be a great choice!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

The hosts were very nice and accommodating. We were able to make a nice big fire in the woods to keep us warm over the cold November evening.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

This is a lovely “off grid” spot that’s close to Woodbridge, Snape etc.. We stopped for 2 nights in our motorhome. There’s loads of choices on where to pitch up, in the woods or just outside, and very quiet. Easy access for a larger motorhome, as we found, just arrive in daylight if you want to pitch in the woods. Sam was very helpful, from booking to pitching up! My only slightly negative comment would be it’s quite expensive for a pitch with no facilities, other than a water pipe in the field.

4 nights at Snettisham Meadows

Excellent comms all along and place well looked after, even though I attended what could be considered ’low season’. Grounds and whole site obviously well attended to and looked after.

Spacious grass pitches in the green Essex countryside A 15-minute drive to Chelmsford; 40 minutes to Audley End Tractor rides on site; firepits provided for campfires. Rural walks, How about proper farm activities like tractor rides (ask site staff for details)?

This family-friendly site is handy for walks on the Essex Way and other local footpaths, and tractor and trailer rides around the farm are organised on alternate days to give guests a glimpse into agricultural life. Activities complete for the day, it's time to chill out, and that should be easy here – all pitches have access to toilets and hot showers in a trailer close by, and firepits are provided so you can have a safe campfire (with wood available to buy on site and a great farm shop 10 minutes’ drive away for fireside snacks). Pitches themselves are large, well kept and well spaced within a meadow that backs onto the River Roding. Dogs are welcome, and there are plenty of places to take them for a walk nearby.

Millview Glamping, Camping & Events

25 units · Motorhomes, Tents12 acres · Shelford, Nottinghamshire, East Midlands

Peaceful, off-grid vibes and walks along the Trent Valley Way, yes please… Millview Camping is a completely off-grid site just 20 minutes’ drive from Nottingham city centre and 15 minutes’ walk from the 116-mile Trent Valley Way. With westerly views over the Trent Valley and in the shadows of a ruined 18th-century windmill, this is a peaceful and scenic place to take a break indeed… Well-positioned too, with a generous handful of pubs, restaurants and cafés a scenic 35 minutes’ walk away in Gunthorpe alongside the river Trent. Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham are five minutes’ drive away for any other amenities you might (supermarkets, shops, restaurants, pubs and the likes). And if you’re after even more of a buzz, Nottingham city centre is 25 minutes’ drive away. Even with such good access to so many towns and the big city, the site itself is remote. It has 10 acres of hay meadows and woodlands for guests to explore and, of course, sublime sunsets over the valley. If you prefer to keep your whole stay pretty rural, the Vale of Belvoir and the historic Belvoir Castle are 20 minutes’ drive away from the site. It’s no frills here. The grass and woodland pitches have facilities including water and portaloo access. Dogs are also permitted, as are barbecues.

Overview

Camping and glamping in Sheringham

The North Norfolk Coast is undoubtedly one of the best-loved UK destinations for seaside holidays. The winning combination of family-friendly beaches, world-class wildlife and seaside resorts on the edge of a mostly-rural county means there’s something for almost everyone. It’s no surprise then, that there are some tempting camping and glamping sites in and around Sheringham, a classic seaside resort in the middle of the Norfolk coastline. We’ve picked out the best of them to feature in the Hipcamp collection. With classic pitches for campers with their own tents to luxury yurts, bell tents and shepherd’s huts, we’ve tried to cater for the whole of the Hipcamp clan. Whether its walking, wildlife watching or a good old-fashioned seaside holiday you’re interested in, camping or glamping in Sheringham might provide just what you’re looking for.

Things to do in Sheringham

There are plenty of things to do on a camping holiday in Sheringham starting at the seaside. You can spend days on the Blue Flag beach, wandering its beach hut-lined promenade and shopping in the independent shops and twice-weekly market. You can learn about its history in the Sheringham Museum and maybe hop aboard the heritage trains of the North Norfolk Railway to travel cross-country to the Georgian market town of Holt. Just inland is Sheringham Park which offers 1,000 acres of landscaped woodland gardens, parkland and incredible views.

Head south of Sheringham to visit the neighbouring town of Cromer for a stroll down the pier and a spot of crab fishing, and head north a few miles to join a boat trip to see the seal colony at Blakeney Point. Further along the coast the pretty town of Wells-next-the-Sea, the historic Holkham Hall and pine-backed Holkham Beach offer further highlights with Norwich, The Broads and the Queen’s rural residence at Sandringham all within an hour’s drive too. For more ideas on days out while you’re camping and glamping in Sheringham, take a look at the Visit North Norfolk website.
