The site has good TV reception for relaxing indoors on damp or chilly days. The popular village of Westleton (10 minutes’ drive) has a village store, a farm shop, a garage and 2 pubs; and if you fancy a change from cooking, there is also a nice pub and a tearoom, in the Darsham village area (only 5 minutes drive or a 30 minute walk away through some lovely fields).

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. Electric vehicle charging is onsite in the public house car park this is chargeable through an app and full instructions are given for once you have booked and paid for your charging slot,

4 nights at North Norfolk Camping & Glamping

What a unique and beautiful place to have stumbled across as a last minute change of travel plans. I almost forgot I was in Norfolk, this spot is incredibly well maintained, peaceful, a dream to wake up by the water and watch the swans and heron and has all the amenities you could need for a camping trip or similar. Great location, everywhere is accessible and yet you don’t feel trapped in the hustle and bustle of the coast. And getting a HOT shower right in nature topped it off, just what I needed.

Weekend Trip to 7 Ducks Touring and Camping

We camped in a lovely field, with amazing facilities. Clean showers with plentiful hot water, clean toilets and a washing up area. We had an electric pitch right on the edge of the fields with lovely views of the sunset. It wasn't very busy during our stay, so was very peaceful. Close to some great restaurants which were very child-friendly. We paid extra for a campfire each night, but unfortunately, due to the strong winds on our 2nd night, we thought it would be safer to not use this! The campsite manager covered it for us to prevent it getting wet in any case. Lovely place, would definitely stay here again!

Really amazing place to stay! Proper toilets and showers, nice kitchen facilities. Pitches were nice and big. Even when it was fully booked it didn’t feel busy.

This is how open the non-electric pitches area. Plenty of space, and still only a reletively short walk to the bathrooms at the entrance of the site.

I enjoyed my stay at the Red Lion campsite. It's a self-service style campsite as was well organised with gate codes etc. There was plenty of space and options for electric and non-electric, as well as a newly built children's play area. I choose to stay in one of the non-electric grass pitches which extended right back into the site away from the centre hub, and it was lovely and quiet with beautiful views. There are also fire pits to rent as well as a pub onsite directly linked with the campsite. The showers were lovely and hot too!

Weekend Trip to North Norfolk Camping & Glamping

Beautiful site with pitches round the lake and in the forest. So much wildlife including swans and bats! Facilities are rustic and basic but clean, and the site in general is well kept with mowed meadows between wilder growth. The tranquility of the site is somewhat disturbed by gunshots on surrounding farmland every 10 minutes or so from 7am until dusk which we presumed was an automated system to deter birds from the crops? 15 minutes drive to the nearest beach of Salthouse and 5mins to the town of Holt which has plenty of shops selling groceries, pet supplies and fuel.

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!

Where to go

Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Wander sandy paths, hike along parts of the Suffolk Coast Path, and watch for diverse bird species like the redshank in the estuaries. Nearby campsites accommodate both tents and caravans, with amenities including electrical hookups, picnic areas, and firepits. On a camping trip during colder months, find something different and stay in a glamping pod that’s fully heated and insulated.

Broads National Park

Known for its unique network of rivers and lakes, Broads National Park is a paradise for campers who love water-based activities. Explore areas like Wroxham Broad and Hickling Broad, navigate the waters on a boat or canoe on River Waveney, or simply enjoy the diverse wildlife that populates the region, like the swallowtail and the rare Norfolk hawker dragonfly. Various camping sites are nestled within and around the park, equipped with facilities for tents, caravans, and even yurts. Expect amenities such as fresh water points, waste disposal, and electric hookups.

Dunwich Heath and Beach

A true gem for nature lovers, Dunwich Heath and Beach offers a calm retreat from the bustle of daily life. The heath, ablaze with purple heather in late summer, is ideal for serene walks, while the pebbly shingle beach with rare plant and wildlife species offers campers a leisurely stroll along the coast. Birdwatching enthusiasts can spot a variety of species in the area, such as the stonechat, skylark, and Dartford warbler. Coastal campsites provide amenities like toilets, washrooms, and beach access, while holiday cottage rentals are also available along the waterfront.

When to go

Kessingland and its surrounding areas are popular during summer months, with temperatures averaging 20°C and pleasant conditions for hiking, birdwatching, and boating. The cooler spring and autumn seasons bring vibrant colours to the landscape, perfect for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Winter, while chillier, still has its charm, especially for campers who appreciate the serenity of year-round coastal cottages under a light frost.
