Campsites with swimming in The Broads

·

Set up camp in The Broads and dive straight into wild swimming—this region is packed with over 180 sites where you can take a dip straight from your pitch. The Broads’ winding waterways and open skies mean you’re never far from a quiet spot for a swim or a stretch of reed-fringed bank to dry off. Popular sites like Holistic Woods Campsite WILD (74 reviews), Whitlingham Broad Campsite (52 reviews), and Pigs in Blankets (42 reviews) put you right next to the water. You’ll find essentials like showers, toilets, and proper campfire spots—no need to rough it. Prices start at just £15 a night, with most sites averaging around £95. When you’re not swimming, keep an eye out for otters, kingfishers, and miles of walking paths weaving through marsh and fen. Pack your towel and jump in—you won’t find this anywhere else in the UK.

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.
