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.

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.

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

Lovely family friendly quiet site, well maintained.
River at the bottom is great, we kayaked and paddle boarded, kids swam in the river too!
Close to large supermarkets (5/7 min drive) and March town in a short drive or 35 walk along the river.
Perfect for a few relaxing days away.
Nice greeting at the toilets in the mornings from Jaffa the cat too 😊

The campsite is great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only slight issue is there are only 2 toilets and 2 showers, so you have to wait to use these when the site is full. However, having easy access to the river is a massive bonus, we were either on or in the river every day. Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing. Overall one of the best sites we have stayed at.

Great site, however only 2 toilets for the whole site means a bit of a wait when the site is busy. The staff were very frieand helpful and having the river so close meant extra activities. We were on or in the river every day.

Just returned from 5 wonderful nights at Four Winds Campsite, we were a family of 4 and went with two other families. We were lucky enough to have sunshine every day and made good use of the river. We had 5 children between us ranging from 10 - 15 years old. We hired kayak's and rowed to March, we stopped off at a park for a picnic recommended by Debs. We had an afternoon in Ely and had another recommendation to eat dinner in The Cutter Inn which was a really lovely meal. We hired paddle boards another day, the Dad's enjoyed some fishing and the campsite was big enough to play football or rounders with ample space. There was a basketball hoop, we took a slip and slide, badminton net, elastics, and light up frisbees. The pizza van on Friday night was great, particularly as there are no BBQ's allowed due to the hot weather. The small shop sells ice creams and cold drinks. The washing up area is undercover with Jaffa the cat hanging around. The only negative is there are only two toilets each with a basin, so there was sometimes a queue as its the only area to brush teeth, a couple more basins or a portacabin of extra toilets/sinks would make this campsite perfect. There are only two showers as well but they were always hot and clean. Debs was really friendly and helpful, we would recommend this site to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with watersports as an added bonus.

5 m campervan
We went in our campervan last year and the camp had about 12 units. We’ve just returned from a few nights there over the weekend and was a little shocked at the sheer numbers on site. Manager said that they were expecting 120 to arrive on the Friday. Bearing in mind that no caravans are allowed, the majority were tents with a lot of children with no shower or toilets. 2 men’s toilets and 3 showers for that amount of people was clearly not enough and so queuing was a bit of an issue.
We left on the Monday as did a lot of the units and it was therefore tranquil again.
I would return but only midweek and out of school holidays.

I recently stayed at Enholmes Meadows, and I can honestly say it exceeded all of my expectations. The setting is absolutely breathtaking—beautifully picturesque, incredibly peaceful, and the perfect place to wild camp, relax and unwind
What really made my stay stand out were the hosts. They were genuinely warm, welcoming, and couldn't have been more helpful. Their kindness and attention to detail made me feel at home from the moment I arrived.
The campsite itself is exceptional with a real sense of tranquillity that's becoming increasingly hard to find. If you're looking for a quiet escape surrounded by beautiful countryside, I couldn't recommend Enholmes Meadows more highly.
Without a doubt, one of the best wild campsites I've stayed at, and I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended
