So near Norwich City but you feel in the country. The facilities are great and decent pitches. People are friendly.
Buses to the city a bit of a walk but easy enough.

Brilliant campsite, friendly and knowledgeable staff looking after an immaculate site. The best facilities I've encountered. Being next to the Broads/ river Yare is a massive bonus for us. Will def be coming back.

Excellent campsite with great features, very family friendly. Our boys loved running around and exploring and making new friends.
And while being super close to Norwich, it doesn't feel that way at all!

'Flint' the woodland den
We stayed in the absolutely gorgeous Flint Treehouse. My almost two year old had the time of her life. We only stayed three days but I feel like I've had a two week retreat. Heaven. Thank you.
Beautiful use of space.

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.

Lovely camp site, shops, cafe and the broad all within short walking distance. Toilet facilities big and clean and play park was good fun. There was someone arguing in the tent next door but that obviously wasn’t the fault of the campsite 🤣.

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. We would definitely visit again.

Camping was brilliant, great location close to lots of walks, activities and the brewery of course!
The facilities are the best I have seen on a camp site, great washing area, showers and toilets are clean, working and the water is hot!
Check in was easy and the host had lots of recommendations for the area.
Will definitely stay again

A relaxed, peaceful campsite.
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.

Country camping near the city.

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.

Campsite is very nice we had everything we needed, nice clean toilets and showers little nice shop very friendly staff and nice area.
One big disappointment was the pizza van the tiniest pizza I have ever seen for £10 so not recommend the pizza van. But the campsite is really perfect.

We enjoyed our weekend in your camping site. Beautiful view and spacious place close to the lake, very nice place. We loved the fact that you have the kids play area in close proximity. Our dog enjoyed it too.
Thank you for the nice stay

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.

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.

Upper Meadow TENT pitch (vehicle free field)
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.

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.
