Norfolk Coast Path Camping Glamping
4. Norfolk Coast Path Camping Glamping
Hunstanton, England · 215 units · Tents, Motorhomes
🌊 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.

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

Woodbridge, England · 18 units · Tents, Motorhomes
If it’s a ‘proper’ Suffolk wild-camping adventure you’re after, have a look at Lions Row, a spacious back‑to‑basics site on a working farm just outside Ufford. It’s completely surrounded by countryside, but only a handy five minutes’ drive (or a 35 walk) from the pubs, takeaways and shops in Wickham Market.
You can park at the pitches, which are mown into the long grass. It’s a clever spot for families as it’s a mile from the nearest road, making it quiet and safe for kids to roam freely without any danger from traffic.
As this is wild camping, facilities are minimal: drinking water, a simple washing-up sink, compost loos and basic gas-heated outdoor showers are your lot. However, you’ll wake up to birdsong every morning and go to sleep by starlight on clear nights; just remember to bring torches and batteries for after-dark wanderings.
The views are peaceful and rural, and the field is bordered by deciduous woodland – great for exercising any four-legged pals – criss-crossed with footpaths leading to country pubs (there are four within half an hour’s walk). It’s also close to heritage attractions such as Sutton Hoo (10 minutes’ drive).
If you would like to book multiple pitches for a big group, do get in touch directly if easier.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Before we even booked our stay, the communication was fantastic. When we arrived we were welcomed by Andy who was friendly and helpful. Our pitch was great, with the use of a fire pit to cook our marshmallows. The toilets, showers, and washing up area was always clean. A short walk to the end of the field was the river where we had great paddles with our kayak and paddle boards, dog walks. It was a safe site for the children. Beautiful garden area. We went to March for food at the black rock grill and smokehouse which was delicious and well worth the money. It was a quiet and pleasant atmosphere and we will definitely be back to this site.
The electric is on a metre but only cost us £5 for 3 days and we had our heater plugged in as well as the kettle on a lot. The little shop has fire wood, ice cream, drinks and snacks.

Very nice back-to-basics campsite. The pitches in the meadow are really well spaced out with wild grasses and flowers between them. Some pitches are half under trees with hammocks provided! Facilities are as basic as they get - 3 or 4 composting toilets, one gas powered shower in a sort of a little wooden shack, and one washing up station with cold water provided. If you're there at the end of Summer as we were, you'll be able to pick your own blackberries from right next to your tent, there's more than enough for everyone!

Close to beach.
Next to the Norfolk Coastal walk.
Nigel met us on arrival.
Introduced to the dogs and chickens (and spotted a fluffy cat).
We loved the relaxed air of the camp field but everything looks like it’s in a state of building or maintenance! Which, to be fair Nigel said they were renovating the barn to accommodate more indoor campers.
We had ‘camper van with awning’ as we brought our own bell tent, there were more of this type, one shepherds hut in the same field and at least three other shepherds huts secluded behind the barn.
There is the potential for four washing up sinks - only one had water working.
Toilet block with three male, three female loos and hand washing. Two showers - also in this block.
Side of the barn was also showers and single toilets with two stand alone basins outside.
Water points everywhere.
We used electric hook up which was good and consistent. WiFi was also working where we were, only used it for the radio though.
Some hard standing was a bit dubious with the hard core having glass and pottery mixed in.
We brought bicycles and really had to watch where we pushed them.
Overall, loved the rustic camp ground, would hope the hard standing would be sorted out soon.
Would recommend.

When to go
Summer is peak season at Wicken Fen, and the boardwalks can get crowded, especially on weekends and school holidays. Some of the best wildlife-watching opportunities are in springtime, while increased rainfall through autumn and winter makes the wild landscapes appear even more dramatic. The reserve is open year-round, but boat tours and bike rentals are only available from Easter through October.
Know before you go
- Wicken Fen is located in Cambridgeshire, about a 40-minute drive from Cambridge.
- There’s no public transport to the park, but trains run to Ely, a 20-minute taxi ride away.
- The reserve has restrooms, a café, and a visitor centre. Bike rental is available, but advance booking is recommended.
- There is an entrance fee to visit the reserve, as well as a parking fee.
- The boardwalks are accessible for wheelchairs, but advance booking is recommended as access can be tricky at busy times.
