Six great campsites in Norfolk to visit in your caravan or motorhome

Published:

Exploring Norfolk in a motorhome, campervan or caravan is a fantastic way to enjoy the region’s charm at your own pace - from sweeping beaches and tranquil waterways to historic market towns and picturesque countryside, all just a short drive apart.

Whether you’re seeking a base for discovering the Norfolk Broads, a family-friendly park close to sandy beaches, or a peaceful countryside escape near traditional villages and nature reserves, we’ve rounded up six campsites worth considering:

Forest Park

Forest Park

Forest Park is a family-run holiday park, set in over 100 acres of stunning Repton landscape - an area of outstanding natural beauty. Their dedicated camping and tourer fields and fully serviced hard-standing pitches welcome tourers, campervans and motorhomes, and offer all the facicilies you'd need including toilets, washrooms, showers and baby changing units.

The park is just a mile away from the Victorian seaside town of Cromer, boasting spectacular sea views that are best enjoyed by climbing St Peter and St Paul Church's 160 foot tower - one of the tallest in the country. The picturesque narrow streets are home to a diverse mix of independent shops, restaurants and cafes

Overstrand beach is popular for visitors who want to enjoy swimming and surfing and, at low tide, the beach is wide and sandy, so is perfect for people looking to relax in the sunshine or build sandcastles. It's a great place to begin a coastal walk and boasts amazing cliff-top scenery.

Tip: Campsites near the sea, particularly around Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer, are in high demand during peak season so book your spot early to avoid disappointment.

King's Lynn Caravan and Camping Park

King's Lynn Caravan and Camping Park

The 5-star King's Lynn Caravan and Camping Park is set amongst ten acres of beautiful parkland, situated on the edge of the village of North Runcton, one mile from the Hardwick roundabout - a prime position for touring Norfolk and the Fens, which are both areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Generously sized level pitches with space to park your vehicle comes with access to numerous water points, motorhome waste and chemical disposal points, heated toilet & shower blocks and a family room with baby changing facilities.

It's the nearest campsite to the historic port and market town of Kings Lynn, nearby attractions include the UK's biggest beer warehouse, quaint villages built of local flint, the Norfolk coastline, RSPB and many nature reserves, historic buildings and beautiful scenery - for the children, there is the Sealife centre, Rare breeds farm as well as the seaside.

Kelling Heath Holiday Park

Kelling Heath

Set amongst a beautiful natural backdrop, the award-winning Kelling Heath welcomes touring caravans and motorhomes alike - with spacious pitches, electric hook-up, modern facilities, and all the comforts you need.

Nestled between the market towns of Sheringham and Holt, and close to the North Norfolk coastline at Weybourne, this park is the perfect place for exploring. You can explore scenic trails through the park's own heathland and woodlands, or hop on the North Norfolk Railway at nearby Weybourne for a steam train ride.

There are several museums and National Trust sites nearby to explore. The Muckleburgh Military Collection is one of the UK's largest private military museums, and Sheringham Museum offers fascinating exhibits on local lifeboat and fishing history. Felbrigg Hall, another nearby National Trust property, is a stunning country house with period interiors and extensive parkland.

Tip: Utilise dedicated motorhome-friendly parking, places like Sheringham and Cromer provide spaces for larger vehicles, but it's always worth checking ahead if you plan to spend the day in town.

Chris Walker

"Touring Norfolk by caravan or motorhome offers the perfect blend of freedom and discovery, visitors can enjoy everything from the region's unspoilt coastline to its charming market towns at their own pace. Our advice is to keep itineraries flexible - allowing time for unplanned stops at local farm shops, markets, and viewpoints often leads to the most memorable experiences."

Pinewoods Holiday Park

Pinewoods

Pinewoods is located in the perfect spot, between the beach, the pine forest, a national nature reserve and Wells-next-the-Sea town - it's the ideal place to enjoy the best of what Norfolk region has to offer.

The parks offers panoramic views across the Holkham National Nature Reserve, and it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy those ‘big Norfolk skies’. Their pitches are spacious, and the amenities are award-winning - complete with toilets, showers, washing up facilities and launderettes.

Wells-next-the-Sea is only a few minutes away, and this charming seaside town is known for its bustling quayside and vast beach of golden sands backed by candy coloured beach huts. You'll enjoy coastal relaxation, walks along the beach, or alternatively, head into town for fish and chips, a relaxed mooch around the galleries and boutique shops, before perhaps popping into one of several pubs or wine bars for a drink.

Bircham Windmill

Bircham Windmill

Set on the grounds of a unique historic mill, in the peaceful Norfolk countryside, Bircham Windmill is a family and dog friendly site within 15 minutes of the coast and Sandringham Estate.

A bakery is adjoined to the mill which offers tea rooms serving breakfast, lunch and homemade bakes/treats, try baking your own bread, or climb the mill and admire the views. Facilities include toilets, showers, games room, pool table, washing machine and kid's playground.

The Norfolk Coast National Landscape is one of England’s most breathtaking coastal treasures, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and charming seaside heritage. Stretching from the sandy beaches of Hunstanton to the salt marshes of Holkham and the shingle spits of Blakeney, this protected area is a haven for walkers, birdwatchers, and anyone seeking peace and fresh sea air.

Tip: Mind your height and width - Norfolk's countryside includes low bridges and single-track roads, especially near the Broads. Sat navs designed for motorhomes can be a real help.

Searles Leisure Resort

Searles

Located right on the north Norfolk coastline, Searles Leisure Resort unites a perfect setting with something to suit everyone. Their mains serviced pitches offer tourers the benefits of 16 amp electric hook up, mains water and waste connections.
