44km from Thurston · 6 units · Tents, Motorhomes
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

We had a blast. Helena was amazing at communicating, it made it alot easier.
It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, a nice remedy to the london rat race. The wash block was spotless.
The kids had a blast roaming around we felt like it was really safe for them. They loved coming to see the horse.

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.

Silas is a great friendly host. When we arrived, he showed us the site and introduced us to the Pony and goats.
His one year old Labrador is cute and playful. We were visited every day to play fetch.
The chickens however, would surround you when food was in sight.
The first night, we were invited to a log fire where we met Silas's partner and father, all lovely people.
All in all, it's a fair site. two communal showers with hot water, a loo under the stars and a washing-up area.
Nights were peaceful, starting with beautiful sunsets.
If you fancy farm-style living, then you will enjoy it.
Thank you, Silas. We had a lovely, relaxing stay.

This is an absolute gem of a find! Not far from civilisation but you could be a million miles away, the setting is very welcoming and natural. I was greeted warmly by Joe and given my pitch options which were varied (in clearings or in the woods), given fire pit rules and told where the water and toilets were. I had a whole afternoon of exploring, reading and listening to birds and wildlife, a little bbq and fire and played music in the evening. I had a great nights sleep and woke up to the sound of birds .. no rush to pack up and head home it was a proper little life get away .. heavenly and will definitely be back!

My partner and I had a lovely stay at Holistic Woods Wild Campsite and would definitely return. We really enjoyed being able to choose our own spot rather than being assigned a pitch — it made the whole experience feel much more relaxed and personal.
The setting itself is beautiful and peaceful with plenty of space, which meant it never felt crowded and allowed us to create our own little camp setup and enjoy the surroundings. The atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for — quiet, laid back and a great place to switch off for a couple of days.
The toilets were also very clean throughout our stay, which was appreciated, and the owner was friendly and welcoming.
Overall it felt much more like escaping into nature than staying at a traditional campsite, and we had a really lovely weekend there.

Nicely maintained pitches and toilets are great especially if you have kids. Pitches are a good distance from each other and also large! The track to the field is a bit even so go slow but east to find and owners both very nice and easy to contact. There is a woodland bit next door which is nice to explore. No light pollution so you can see all the stars on a clear night.

This is a really wonderful campsite truly in a forest and there are many places to pitch up. Facilitates are basic but the range who runs the place Steven is a really lovely guy indeed. My only negative would be, on the two nights we were there there was loud music that started at 8pm each night and went on to midnight which was a real shame as we had come for the wildlife and nature experience. However, during the day and the early morning the site was wonderful!

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.

We had a lovely stay, left to our own devices but comfortable in the knowledge any requests where either a 20 second walk to reception or a text away. Wild camping, with access to amenities on site, a cozy couple of nights nestled within a wildflower meadow. Nicely spaced pitches, quiet nights, and freshly made pizzas on site. We will be back! 😊
