After a fun-filled day exploring this lovely part of Norfolk, come back to your pitch and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies and some serious stargazing.

Rosehip Wood Campsite is a nature rich, off-grid wild campsite set in a peaceful woodland. Camp in secluded clearings surrounded by trees and bushes and be sheltered from the wind or hot sun when necessary. You can spend your evenings staring into a crackling campfire as fire pits are provided and firewood can be purchased on site.
This site is completely enclosed by fences so kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway'. There is a field with a football goal for recreational activities and adjoining footpaths for road free walks.
It is tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham. This beautiful rewilding project offers the unspoilt simplicity and tranquillity of wild camping within the grassy clearings of a quiet mixed woodland and balanced with just enough facilities to make camping fun and comfortable including fresh water and compost toilets.
All Rosehip Wood’s pitches are family friendly and allow BBQs and campfires.
Your hosts invite you to wander along mown paths, through grassy clearings and wildflowers. The woodland has been planted with lots of nuts and fruits for both wildlife and humans to enjoy. As the sun sets, unwind, and enjoy starlit skies unspoilt by light pollution against the distant calls and barks of local wildlife.
The site has no lighting so don’t forget your torch if you plan on an evening amble. Downham Market is around 4 ½ miles away offering supermarkets, a market, food and drink in the town’s historic pubs and a range of restaurants. It also has a train station from which your hosts will be happy to pick you up if you are coming camping without a car. If you need an extra tent this can be rented at an extra cost.
Walkers and cyclists will find maps and information available on site pointing you in the direction of local routes over farmland, lanes, long

Wonderful campsite, clean loos, great to have access to the pretty canal. Large grassy field so pitches are well spaced out and there is still privacy with how some of the grass has been kept long.
We had to shorten our stay to 1 night and wished we could have stayed longer.
We will be back!

Rosehip Campsite is just great.
Secluded woodland pitches with a balance of shade and sunshine. Clean and well thought out composting loos with hand washing area. Mains water as you enter the site.
Highlights for us were watching the many butterflies and also the bats as dusk turned to nighttime.
If, like us you love nature and peace you’ll love this campsite.

Absolutely brilliant campsite. Everything you could ever need and it’s set out that there’s plenty of space and breaks between different areas. Very easy to find and there are a few shops and pubs within a walking distance.
Loved that the wood is available to purchase on site as means you don’t need to lug your own. If anything there was too much wood that I had to leave some!
Nice to have a few toilets and showers and they’re all separate so you get your own space. Good facilities to wash up as well.
Can’t wait to come back. Great price and I love that you can book single nights as most places is two minimum.

Clare could not have been more hospitable, she really went above and beyond for us. The site is absolutely beautiful and the facilities and layout are brilliant. We took our 3 year old and she had a fantastic time playing, cycling her balance bike and spotting all the local wildlife including the resident ducks.
We are most definitely planing a return visit.
Thank you Clare from the Daleys.

I needed a few days of peace and .Canal Camping delivered. A flat site with hedges and unmowed grass providing gaps between the large pitches. Lovely staff and spotless loos, showers and washing up station. Rules stating no music and quiet after 10pm means the loudest sound is the birds (expect a deafening dawn chorus). Right on the canal so you can kayak all the way to the Northern Broads, and near the Weavers Way for pleasant walking.

Really lovely site. Peaceful. Facilities very clean and well kept and done in a beautiful rustic style. Owners friendly. Easy environment to talk with fellow campers. We went for a walk from the campsite and it was really nice. You have to walk along the road first but then you get to a lovely waterway. Very picturesque with geese and their babies.

We loved our time here, the location was a perfect mix of private and close to the ideal spots in the Broads. The amenities were simple but really well mantained and modern. The firewood and braziers were a lovely touch. Safe to say, we’ll definitely be back.
