Riverside camping in The Broads

·

Pitch your tent along the winding rivers of The Broads—over 120 riverside campsites are scattered through reed beds and marshes, where kingfishers dart low and the water laps at your feet. Camps here put you close to hiking trails, wildlife-watching, and even horseback riding, so bring your boots and binoculars. Many sites welcome pets, allow campfires, and offer toilets. You’ll find options starting from just £13 a night, with an average stay running about £95. For a local favourite with water views, check out Whitlingham Broad Campsite (52 reviews). Other standouts include Hunstanton Camping & Glamping (13 reviews) and Brightwell Country Park (10 reviews). Bring layers—nights get chilly, and the mist off the water settles in fast.
