Set on a traditional family-run farm in rural Norfolk, Snettisham Meadows is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Snettisham and short drive away from North Norfolk's beautiful white sandy beaches.
Animal-mad campers, form an orderly queue please, as this 329-acre farm has several attractions up its sleeve for you, including meet-and-greets with pigs and ponies, lamb feeding in spring and deer safaris. There’s also a dog paddock for rent so four-legged companions can have a frisk around, and an area on the camping field is reserved for guests with dogs.
Campfires and barbecues are permitted and you can borrow firepits from the site owners. Logs are also available to buy. The site is only 10 minutes’ walk from a village pub if you fancy a change of scenery.
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.
Facilities include washing-up sinks, a small shop at reception for essential supplies and tourist information, USB phone charging and a freezer for ice packs.

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

🌲 North Norfolk Camping & Glamping Holt Hollow - Lakeside Forest Retreat
North Norfolk Camping & Glamping, known as Holt Hollow, provides a rare, tranquil, and back-to-nature escape in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. Nestled in a wooded area on the outskirts of the AONB, the site's most distinctive feature is its beautiful natural lake and surrounding peaceful woodlands, ideal for walks and wildlife spotting.
🔥 Back-to-Basics & Off-Grid Ethos
The site strongly emphasizes its back-to-basics philosophy:
Off-Grid Living: Holt Hollow operates off-grid with limited to no phone coverage, promoting full disconnection from technology. Glamping Shepherds Huts & Yurts utilise gas-powered showers and solar lighting, with log burners for heat.
Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are allowed. Glamping units include private fire pits/braziers for evening gatherings under the clear, dark Norfolk skies, which are excellent for stargazing.
Core Facilities: Essential amenities are kept clean and functional, including shower/toilet blocks and fresh drinking water stations.
Glamping 🎪
We have Glamping Shepherds Huts and Yurts, nestled within our woodland retreat. Rustic with wood burners, cosy linens and everything you need to enjoy your time.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Woodland & Accommodation
Our campsite is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming companions on all pitches and in our glamping accommodation. The open meadow and surrounding woodlands provide ample space for walks, and the lake allows for paddling.
🗺️ Local Area: Holt Village and the Coast
The site’s rural location is conveniently close to key North Norfolk highlights:
Holt Village: The charming Georgian market town of Holt is just a short 5-minute drive away. It is perfect for exploring independent shops, cafes, and art galleries, and for accessing local gems like Holt Country Park.
The Coast: The stunning North Norfolk Coast (part of the AONB) is only a short drive away, providing access to:
Blakeney Point (famous for seal watching boat trips).
Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Bay.
Coastal walks along the Norfolk Coast Path.
North Norfolk Camping & Glamping offers an authentic outdoor adventure, blending rustic living with the comfort of having the best of the Norfolk coast and countryside within easy reach.

It's a very pretty campsite, with spacious pitches and clean facilities. There weren't many people and were quite spread out - brilliant that everyone respected the 10:30 quiet time.
We brought our own SUP and were able to enjoy the river.
The shady "fairy garden" saved us when it was really hot! Debs and Hannah were always happy to help and it was easy to get hold of them, nothing ever seemed too much trouble.

Such a lovely place to stay. We only stayed one night and had to leave early in the morning so didn’t get to enjoy the river but will definitely be back. The whole team are so lovely, accommodating and welcoming. Pitches are very spacious and facilities are spotless. Shop is a great addition and my partner ordered the breakfast box and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Margaret's land was very quiet and calming, it is quite close to the M62 but don't let that scare you, the tall thick conifers surrounding the land block all the noise. Margaret was lovely, she couldn't be more helpful. We will return, we only booked one night as we wanted to try the electrical hook up on our new van, but would have happily stayed longer had we not had other plans.

I had an amazing stay at this campsite. The location is truly beautiful, and the whole surrounding area feels peaceful and special.
The campsite itself is like something out of a fairytale – more like a carefully maintained park than a typical campsite. Everything is exceptionally clean and clearly very well looked after.
The couple who run the place are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you might need.
There is a great variety of pitches, so everyone can find the perfect spot – whether you prefer an open meadow, a quiet forest area, or a more park-like setting.
I enjoyed every single minute of my stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful camping experience.

Before we even booked our stay, the communication was fantastic. When we arrived we were welcomed by Andy who was friendly and helpful. Our pitch was great, with the use of a fire pit to cook our marshmallows. The toilets, showers, and washing up area was always clean. A short walk to the end of the field was the river where we had great paddles with our kayak and paddle boards, dog walks. It was a safe site for the children. Beautiful garden area. We went to March for food at the black rock grill and smokehouse which was delicious and well worth the money. It was a quiet and pleasant atmosphere and we will definitely be back to this site.
The electric is on a metre but only cost us £5 for 3 days and we had our heater plugged in as well as the kettle on a lot. The little shop has fire wood, ice cream, drinks and snacks.
