🌲 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 units (Shepherd's Huts/Bell Tents) utilize gas-powered showers and solar lighting, with log burners for heat.
Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are encouraged and 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 shared shower/toilet blocks and fresh drinking water stations.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Woodland & Accommodation
The campsite is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming companions on all pitches (tents, campervans, caravans) and in most glamping units. The open meadows and surrounding woodlands provide ample space for walks, and the lake allows for safe paddling. Some pitches even allow dogs to be off-lead.
🗺️ 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 (or a longer walk). 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 (approx. 20 minutes) away, providing access to:
Blakeney Point (famous for seal watching boat trips).
Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Bay (vast sandy beaches).
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.

North Walsham, England · 1 unit
Located on a rural farm near Aylsham in the heart of Norfolk, our handcrafted Shepherd's Hut sits on a secluded water-meadow overlooking a small stream. Available, between April and October, the meadow setting offers a genuine sense of seclusion, with fields, wildlife and open skies all around.
Sleeping two, the hut has a traditional feel, made from wood, insulated with lambswool and mounted on cast-iron wheels from a local foundry.
Inside, a comfortable double bed, a wood-burning stove and table and chairs create a wonderfully cosy retreat for two. The stove-top kettle means you can brew up without stepping outside, and a welcome box of tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and cooking oil, plus your first basket of logs, ensures a warm and welcoming arrival. There is no mains electricity in the hut or on the meadow, making it a natural choice for those looking for a proper digital detox.
Step outside to your own private fire-pit, which doubles as a barbecue with tools provided — ideal for alfresco meals and long, lazy evenings under the stars. With no streetlights anywhere on the farm, the night sky here is truly spectacular. A covered outdoor shelter nearby means you can sit out and enjoy the wildlife and countryside views whatever the weather.
For cooking and washing up, guests have exclusive use of an indoor kitchen in a nearby converted outbuilding, complete with a fridge, microwave, single hob, electric kettle, and a set of crockery and cutlery provided free of charge. The private bathroom features a WC, sink and an excellent shower — just the thing after a long walk or a dip in the river. Devices can be charged in the kitchen.
The hut sits in a secluded spot overlooking a stream — a tributary of the River Bure — where you can fish, paddle or simply sit and watch the wildlife go by. Pets are welcome and guests are encouraged to explore the wider farm, which is also home to resident artists including a stone-carver and potter. Pets are welcome and one or two tents can be pitched alongside the hut (at additional cost).
North Farm is located in Burgh next Aylsham, with Norwich around 15 miles to the south, Blickling Estate just a short drive away, as the Norfolk Broads and coast.
Please note we only accept children over 8 due to the log-stove and stream.

1 night at Bircham Windmill
Spotlessly clean, the showers and facilities were as good as at home, the extra added thoughtfulness of clean bath mats tea towels washing up liquid and lots of toilet paper and hand towel and soap.
My shepherds hut was delightful, and yet again everything I needed with the welcoming cream tea, milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, spotlessly clean as everywhere was.
The windmill, the bakery, the café, my grandchildren loved the animals and the play area. There is absolutely not a thing I can think of that was not perfect. Oh I forgot to mention the games room. Thank you

We stayed in a bell tent in Archer’s Field and absolutely loved it. This is our second time to this beautiful site and we’ll definitely return. Peter and his wife work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and are really friendly and approachable. The site is quiet and there’s plenty of space between pitches. Our dog had a great time.

Weekend Trip to Blooms Westerby Farm
We stayed one night at Waterbury Farm and it was pure bliss. The camping shed was cozy and clean, with the kettle in a separate shed—making the sleeping space feel roomy. The highlight was the hot tub, perfectly placed for stunning sunset views. Soaking under the stars in total peace was unforgettable. A calm, beautiful escape with thoughtful touches and lovely hosts. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

The pitches are a really good size so you don't feel on top of each other. It is a small site, which is a bonus. The shepherd's hut was really comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches and a cream tea to welcome you. The site is very pretty and sitting in the morning with a cup of tea looking at the windmill and seeing the horse, donkey, lambs and chicken was a wonderful start to the day.

The hut had everything we needed for a few days off grid and the location was so peaceful! I would thoroughly recommend! The weather was chilly but the log burner was more than enough to keep us warm and cosy. The kitchenette included a fridge and hob and the essential utensils and plenty of logs were provided.

Hosts were lovely and used great communication throughout. We stay I'm the bumble hut, which was lovely, clean and cosy. The bed was so comfy but the teddy bear bedding was too hot but my goodness it was so snuggly. Hot tub was lovely as was the evening and morning delivery of tea and breakfast. I recommend this place to anyone, so many different types of accommodation. We will definitely return.

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).
