Laid-back camping and glamping a stone's throw from Norwich and at the gateway to the Norfolk Broads

A pebble’s throw from a beautiful lake, this is a campsite with traditional and luxury accommodation, plus bundles of outdoor activities, and all just a leisurely stroll from one of England’s prettiest cities – what more could you want?

Whitlingham Broad Campsite is a family-orientated place in a county with no shortage of magnificent spots to pitch. Situated on the spacious 80-acre Country Park, this is both a useful gateway to the Broads, and a perfect base for exploring the medieval delights of Norfolk’s county capital.

The spacious grass pitches are spread over the upper and lower fields, with a magnificent play area built on the slope in between. You can park up tent-side in the lower field while the upper is a car-free haven meaning there’s plenty of room for a run and a play (pooches are welcome too). There’s also a couple of fully furnished bell tents, a yurt, a shepherd’s huts and a converted railway waggon, plus brand new, luxury tree-house-like structures nestled against the trees, with views over the country park towards the Great Broad.

The lure of the Broads is inescapable in this part of the world. With scores of visitors flocking to enjoy the wet and wild delights of Norfolk’s many navigable rivers and waterways, Whitlingham Broad is ideally situated to join in the fun. The park’s award-winning Outdoor Education Centre provides a host of activities including kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. And if you’d rather keep your feet strictly on terra firma there are countless scenic walks and bike rides to enjoy. Why not nip in to Norwich for the day to walk the café-dotted lanes and visit its grand Gothic cathedral?

we loved camping here, the place is quiet and there is everything you need. Toilets were clean, there is a small shop where you can buy snacks. You can charge your phone for a small fee, and Linda is very helpful is sharing information and suggestions on things to do in the area. We had a great time and the children loved playing football in the field and building a den in the forest.

Really lovely, friendly campsite. Very fun adventure playground for the kids, usefully stocked shop, well maintained toilets and showers, and washing-up facilities (with hot water). The team on site are warm, friendly and helpful. And even the rain didn't spoil the atmosphere! The location close to Norwich and lovely walks around the broads was great too.

Lower Meadow camping pitch (1 tent or 1 van)

It was such a peaceful time we spent on the campsite. The facilities were well maintained, but a hint for future campers...if you go to the toilet after dark take a torch with you because the automatic lights switch themselves off while you are in the cubicle! Checking in and out were relaxed affairs. We are definitely planning to return.

Lower Meadow camping pitch (1 tent or 1 van)

The campsite is spacious and the toilets and showers are very clean and pleasant. It is good to see the rabbits hopping about of an evening! There is some traffic noise from the A roads nearby, but nothing a pair of earplugs can't sort out. We loved exploring Norwich city - 9 mins drive away and had a great time at Horsey Gap, admiring the seals as part of a 5 mile circular walk from the mill.

Lower Meadow camping pitch (1 tent or 1 van)

Fabulous weekend camping at Whitlington Broad Campsite. Lovely pitch on the Lower Field. Showers very clean and well kept. Close to Norwich and lots of activities. Thank you so much for a great weekend stay.

'Flint' the woodland den

We absolutely loved our stay in Flint and very much hope to return. My daughter, age eight years old, was thrilled by the cargo net and slept on the wooden shelf next to it. A big adventure for her! Great walk around the Whitlingham lake with friends and the cafe was also good. Kitchen well equipped and the whole treehouse was immaculate on arrival. Thank you! My only suggestion would be to allow two night booking from Saturdays - these are not available online to book currently.

A fairly last minute decision to camp for a few days over the school holidays led us to this gem on the edge of the Norfolk Broads and Norwich. Beautifully kept and quiet location with good wash facilities. (Showers were fantastically warm and powerful.) Only a couple of miles into Norwich and a few mins walk to nearby cafe and a few mins more to the local pub. A handful of places to eat within 15 mins walk while feeling like you are miles from everything. Fire pits, marshmallows and three great nights sleep. (Not too often you can say the last one when camping with kids.) Great staff as well made the stay an absolute treat.

'Flint' the woodland den

A lovely stay, the cabin is so cute and beautiful, kitted out with bedding and towels, hooked up so you have electricity and with indoor and outdoor fires with wood provided. The campsite is great and it's in such a good location with the village of Trowse and Redwell beer/pizza in walking distance and the city centre only a 10 minute drive. Would definitely stay again and recommend for holiday-goers. We took the dogs and they were very happy too.

This site is one of the best campsites I have stayed at. The facilities were the best I have ever seen at a UK campsite and the staff on the site were extremely helpful and friendly. We camped on the upper field as it was quieter than the lower one and the site provided wheelbarrows for transporting kit to the cars and back. There is loads to do nearby including kayaking, cycling, walking, trips into Norwich and to the coast. I would really recommend this site, I think it would be great for kids but we went as a group of four adults and had a great time. I've already recommended it to several people.

Had a great stay! The site is very well managed. I was very happy to rent a firepit and purchase the logs and kindling. The pizza truck on Friday also made it really easy to bring a small child camping for the first time.

A perfect campsite for us! All staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble at all. The shower blocks and toilets were spotless. The layout was exactly what we needed with two children. Wherever they were on the campsite, we could see them. For children, the site was amazing and so much fun.

Campite was great. Site was clean, pretty and a good size - didn't try to stuff everyone in, even on a bank holiday weekend. Staff were relaxed and helpful, could get a few handy amenities at reception. There are some e-scooters for rent located in the car park opposite the entrance which is handy for getting into town. We were there as a couple but felt just as welcome as families.

Liked the Site, not the Bell Tents!

With kids ·

Bell Tent 1 HAWTHORN (Platform and porch)

Lovely campsite, great location and staff friendly and helpful. Facilities were great, clean and tidy, well stocked supplies at reception. Bell Tent was OK. Beds not very comfortable, a bit of a pain that you have to bring your own bedding, and no other furniture, so nothing to keep food off the floor, nowhere to stash your clothes away etc. But the worst part was the ants that kept coming up through the platform, our food was covered most of the time as we had no way of keeping them out. I would use the campsite again, but I would definitely bring my own tent and equipment, the Bell Tents weren't worth the extra cost.

From the host

Simple boutique camping with Norwich on the doorstep and the Broads in the back garden. We are a peaceful site situated within the 80 beautiful acres Whitlingham Country Park. Within a few minutes walk you will be able to hire canoes and kayaks to explore the Broads, enjoy woodland and waterside walks. We have pre-erected accommodations in the form of boutique woodland dens (treehouse accomodation) railway carriages, bell tents and a yurt - or bring along your own tent or campervan.

Nearby attractions

The neighbouring Outdoor Education Centre offers plenty of broad-based aquatic activities including canoeing, dragon boat hire, sailing, windsurfing. The site is right on the Wherryman's Man and national Cycle Route One path. Norwich has attractions galore as well plenty of places to eat and drink.

Food and drink

There’s a café inside the Whitlingham Broad Visitor Centre (01603 617332) and there’s a good vegan restaurant, River Green Café (01603 622448), at the entrance to Whitlingham Lane. Norwich is a treasure trove for small bars and cafés. We particularly recommend Frank’s Bar (01603 618902) for relaxed Mediterranean-accented dining, Wild Thyme (01603 765562) for vegetarian food and St Andrews Brew House (01603 305995) for a pint.
