Whitlingham Broad Campsite - Dog Friendly Campsite In Norwich, Norfolk

We are situated in the beautiful surroundings of 80 acres of Country Park, within the Broads National Park, just 15 minutes by bike from Norwich's historic city centre. As well simple camping we have beautiful bell tents, super shepherds huts, our yurt, the converted goods wagons, and our wonderful woodland dens. We have large, family friendly washrooms with toilets, showers and an outside wash-up area. We also have a super cool campsite shop selling essentials, snacks, phone charging and so much more. Do come and check the shop out or just pop in to say hello! Sturdy BBQ’s (no disposables please!) and fire pits are welcome but don't worry if you don't have your own; we also rent fire pits for £3 per night. Well behaved dogs are VERY welcome; just make sure when booking you pay the small fee.

Our play area is perfect for families to monkey around together. Climb the cargo net, balance on the wobbly logs and whizz down the slide! Need more of a challenge? Within a few minutes walk of the site you can hire canoes and kayaks to explore the Broad, enjoy woodland walks and so much more!

Camping
Our pitches are spread across the upper and lower meadow, both situated just a few minutes walk from the Whitlingham Broad Visitor Centre and cafe, with all the walks, activities and peaceful hideaways the Country Park has to offer. The Upper Meadow is a car free haven with great views across the Country Park to the Broad. Parking is a few metres from the pitches and we provide specialised luggage transportation devices; which look a little like customised wheel barrows! There is also an access track for dropping kit off.

Our dens are cleverley built into the sloping ground; climb the steps and enter the rear at ground level and walk through to the raised deck at the front to find yourself within the woodland canopy.  Watch squirrels scamper and hear the birds sing as you snuggle in with your loved ones around the cosy log burner, or chill on our large hammock slung inside above the living area. Inside, the quirky design and high specification add a touch of luxury.  Each den sleeps up to 4 people, with a double bed on the mezzanine floor, and comfortable, pull out sofa beds in the living area.
