Oak Lodge Glamping

Like all the best glamping sites, it’s difficult to pin down any one thing that makes Oak Lodge Glamping so special. Even the setting is difficult to describe. It’s not a meadow, yet not a forest, with a scattering of trees providing shade and shelter but still ample, open space. Children love it, with room to run wild and play games, while it also creates a real sense of seclusion as trees nicely divide up the different pitches. Every spot feels private and has its own little mix of sun and shade, yet you never feel hemmed in.

In total there are nine 6m (6 person) pre-pitched, creamy bell tents on the site, furnished inside with mattresses, bedding anda few homely items like freshly picked flowers, coffee tables and a small chest of drawers.

Every morning at 10am is Animal Hour where you can come and experience feeding and petting the animals. You can also hose down the pigs, hand feed the goats and chickens and say hello to the snake. Animal Hour is run by Mathilda, who can tell you all about the animals. This is a great experience for all children to get up close to all sort of animals, native and not, and it’s for children of all ages!  Our animals cost a lot to look after so we have listed this experience as an extra that you can choose when booking. The cost is £15 per tent and you can join in Animal Hour as many days as you would like to.

We now also provide Livery Stays so why not bring your horse or pony along, to enjoy off road riding straight from the campsite on to miles of tracks through the Norfolk farmland and countryside .We can offer a well fenced paddock with Newmarket standard post and rail fencing at 4′ high, mains water trough and with or without a field shelter. We have a menage area that is fenced and made from the sand from our own field so fairly free draining. Our area boasts sandy soils so all weather riding is possible, and there's plenty of room for secure horse box parking.  Please email for further details.

Along with old rope swings and special wildlife lookout areas, wisps of smoke indicate that campfires are all a part of the fun here. Every pitch has a firepit and outdoor furniture and a few complimentary logs are supplied on your arrival. If you run out of marshmallows there’s a tiny village post office in Northwold (1 mile away) handily placed next door to the local pub. You can buy a few goodies there for making your evening smores. Or you can gather a little more on any day trips you take. Oak Lodge Glamping has a pretty central Norfolk location, meaning that, beyond the local cycling routes in Thetford Forest and the River Great Ouse, days out in Norwich and exploring the North Norfolk Coast are also less than an hours' drive away.
