🌊 Norfolk Coast Path Camping & Glamping: Holme-next-the-Sea
Norfolk Coast Path Camping & Glamping provides a tranquil, back-to-basics coastal escape in one of North Norfolk’s most secluded villages. Located on a spacious 5-acre meadow, the site is perfectly situated for those seeking adventure, peace, and wide-open skies.
📍 Proximity to Path and Beach
The site's primary draw is its location at the junction of two major walking routes: the Norfolk Coast Path and the Peddars Way.
Beach Access: The secluded golden sands of Holme-next-the-Sea Beach (home of the historic Sea Henge) are a short 10-minute walk away. This highly special location allows guests to witness a rare spectacle on the East Coast: sunsets over the sea, followed by incredible stargazing under the vast, dark Norfolk skies.
Hiking Base: The campsite is an ideal base for hikers, cyclists, and birdwatchers, with easy access to wild areas like the Holme Dunes Nature Reserve and RSPB Titchwell Marsh.
🐕 Dog-Friendly & Local Life
The site is dog-friendly, welcoming well-behaved companions in all camping and glamping units. The coastal path offers miles of walking, and Holme Beach is vast and dog-friendly.
Local Businesses & Activities: The site is close to the village centre, putting you near welcoming local pubs and shops for essential supplies and dining. Nearby coastal towns like Hunstanton (3 miles) and the harbours at Brancaster offer opportunities for watersports (paddleboarding, kitesurfing) and sampling local seafood (like the famous Crab Hut).
🔥 Back-to-Basics & Space Under the Stars
The campsite embraces a rustic, back-to-basics philosophy focused on the outdoor experience:
Accommodation: Pitches are available for tents, campervans, motorhomes, and caravans. Glamping options include cosy Shepherd's Huts and Bell Tents. Units often benefit from seclusion and privacy on the 5-acre meadow.
Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are encouraged and allowed, with glamping units providing dedicated fire pits/braziers.
Facilities: Amenities are designed to be simple, clean, and functional, including flushable toilets, shower blocks, and fresh water.
The site offers a pure, authentic outdoor retreat blending simple facilities with a prime coastal location.

(10)
England · 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 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! 😊

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.

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.

Great stay at Plum Camping! It’s well-maintained with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, nice space, and plenty of firepits for a campfire in the evenings. Love the easy self-service setup. Just be aware there is a bit of road noise, some of the showers were cold, and it was a shame the farm shop was shut Sunday and Monday. Still highly recommend!

This was our 3rd year staying and we'll be coming again. We are always impressed by the cleanliness of the site and facilities. The little shop has all you need. We love that we can hire fire pits and purchase wood. The site is also great for kids, with our boys easily making friends to play with. It was very hot this year, so we spent a lot of time in the nearby woods, den building. Thoroughly recommend this site! We plan to be back next year 🥰

Where to go
Holkham Hall & Around
Within the NNR and south of Holkham village, this majestic early-18th-century, Neo-Palladian house and grounds were created out of formerly wind-blasted land transformed by the planting of thousands of trees. There is a pop-up campsite open between mid-July and mid-September near the lake on this majestic estate. Also on the Holkham Hall grounds is Ambers Bell Tents Glamping at Branthill Farm. Holkham Bay’s pine-backed sands are an easy walk north, where you can connect to the Norfolk Coast Path.
Scolt Head Island NNR
West of Holkham NNR, more of the same sort of coastline continues and here you find the sandy, shingly barrier island of Scolt Head Island NNR. The four-mile-long island is particularly important for its birdwatching and is accessed from either Burnham Overy Staithe or Brancaster Staithe. Deepdale Camping & Rooms at Burnham Deepdale is linked by footpath to the trail out to Scolt Head Island from Brancaster Staithe: pitch up yourself or camp out in already-erected safari tents.
Blakeney & Blakeney Point
At the eastern end of Holkham NNR, charming Blakeney is the village from where you can walk (or get a boat trip) to Blakeney NNR and Point, England’s biggest grey seal colony. Much of this reserve is off-limits to protect the seals, but trails run through the wetlands adjacent. Camping at the tranquil, informal Scaldbeck Cottage Campsite, near the departure point for seal-watching boat trips, is tough to trump.
Hunstanton & Around
Eleven miles west of Burnham Overy Staithe, 19th-century beach resort Hunstanton knows how to give its holiday-makers a good time: fairground, promenade, amusement arcades and aquarium are all here, alongside an array of camping and caravan parks. There is camping fairly centrally at Searle’s Leisure Park (camping tradition here dates back to 1934) but the best pitching is northeast of nearby Old Huntanton at the several sites along the edge of Holme Dunes NNR (more empty beaches, more ethereal dunes).
