Riverside camping in Norfolk Coast AONB

·

Pitch your tent or park your caravan riverside in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—there are over 120 campsites here that put the water right at your doorstep. Expect average nightly prices around £44, but you’ll spot options dipping as low as £10 if you know where to look. The area is a magnet for fishing, wildlife-watching, and even surfing, with plenty of sites welcoming pets, campfires, and offering showers. Locals swear by Four Winds Camping and Canoeing (130 reviews) for easy river access and friendly hosts. Whitlingham Broad Campsite (52 reviews) is tucked beside the water, ideal for a quiet morning paddle. For something different, try Hunstanton Camping & Glamping (13 reviews) close to wide, sandy beaches. You’ll find riverside pitches with space for your dog and a crackling campfire, all within reach of Norfolk’s salt marshes, reed beds, and sprawling skies. Check rubbish points and facilities before you book—each site’s a little different, and the best spots fill up fast.

🌅 Hunstanton Camping & Glamping with mYminiBreak: The Coastal Escape Hunstanton Camping & Glamping offers a relaxed, back-to-basics coastal escape in Heacham, Norfolk. The site, a former dairy farm, maintains a peaceful, natural atmosphere, perfect for those looking to unplug. 🐾 Exceptionally Dog-Friendly Haven The site is dog-friendly, welcoming companions in all accommodation types. Its best feature is the immediate access to the sea, being just a quick 2-minute walk from the vast sands of Heacham South Beach. Crucially, this beach operates with no year-round restrictions for dogs, offering unrestricted playtime. 🌊 Prime Location and Local Area The site's unique west-facing position on the West Norfolk coast means guests witness spectacular sunsets directly over the sea—a daily, breathtaking ritual. You are perfectly situated to explore North Norfolk: Hunstanton: The nearby Victorian resort offers seaside fun and the famous striped cliffs of Old Hunstanton. Nature & Walks: Enjoy direct access to the Norfolk Coast Path and close proximity to the Wild Ken Hill rewilding project and Sandringham Estate for extensive hiking and wildlife spotting. Activities: The calm, shallow local waters are excellent for watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding. 🔥 Back-to-Basics Ethos and Core Facilities The ethos of the site embraces a simple, "back-to-basics" camping philosophy. Accommodation: Pitch your own tents, campervans, motorhomes, and caravans, or choose glamping in rustic Shepherd's Huts or spacious Bell Tents. Campfires: Campfires and BBQs are encouraged and allowed, with private fire pits/braziers provided for glamping units, perfect for gatherings under the clear, dark Norfolk skies Core Facilities: Essential amenities are clean and functional: shared toilet/shower blocks with hot water; designated washing-up station and access to fresh drinking water. Limited electric hook-ups are available for pitches upon request, though the emphasis is on a connected-to-nature experience. Wifi available. This site offers an unforgettable escape, blending traditional outdoor life with coastal charm.
