The Owner Says

*All information and images are to be updated in Spring 2021 when the cabins will be ready for guests*

Brand new for 2021, our bespoke designed woodland cabins are nestled in the wooded valley side of our campsite, raised up from the forest floor offering wonderful open views across the camping meadows down to the broad at the front, and historic, private woodland on the other 3 sides.

Our cabins are cleverly built into the sloping ground, enter at ground level to be raised at the front to sleep in the woodland canopy, watch the 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 high above the living area. Inside, the quirky design and high specification add a touch of luxury.  Each cabin has its own balcony, decking area and private woodland glade complete with firepit, BBQ, seating and hammocks. you can simply relax and enjoy being immersed in the woodland.

Beyond the branches, the fine city of Norwich is on your doorstep (15 minutes along National Cycle Route 1, with bike hire available), the Broads will be your back garden and, of course, there’s 80 acres of Country Park to explore with woods, broads, rivers, meadows, an outdoor activity centre and play areas (including a play area reserved only for our guests).

A lovely week away

This was our first camping trip with our greyhound and we all really enjoyed our stay at Whitlingham. There was loads of space for the dog to run around, a lovely trail to follow along the river and close to Norwich for an evening meal out. The facilities on-site were great- toilets and showers were probably the cleanest I've ever seen at a campsite and we rented a firepit for two nights. The other campers were all lovely to chat with. It was a shame that the water activities nearby were shut due to Covid-19 restrictions, but there was still plenty to do in the area or a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great site and facilities but Covid-19 guidelines not followed

My first night with my grandson was ggreat. We hired a firepit and sat outside cooking. There were a couple in a tent a few metres away and a further campervan a few metres from that. However the 2nd night was very busy. There were 5 tents and 5 cars pitched very close together in the same spavce occupeid by the 2 units the night before. iIcounted at least 12 young people camping together whereas government guidelines are 6. The tent site was even busier with at least 6 tents with families all pitched close together near to the toilet block and the families socialising closely.

Thanks for your review.

At the time you stayed the goverment guidelines were not restricted to groups of 6, this came into force from Monday 14th September. We have staff regularly checking pitching and spacing and all of our own guidelines and that of the current government goverment advice at the time were being followed. I hope this information helps. We do not want anyome to feel uncomfortable on our site and staff are always available to help should you have any concerns while on site.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall

Lovely, super clean facilities, great playground, noisy location though, COVID affects activities nearby

We really enjoyed our stay at the campsite, the check in was easy, although it wasn't quite clear on arrival where the reception was. Kids absolutely loved the plaground. It was fabulous until the evening, when the older kids didn't go to bed till late and kept running past our tent to the playground. Possibly a sun-down lock up of the playground would help avoid that, although I realise it is probably a problem with all camp sites where parents do not monitor their kids enough not to be a nuisance. Be aware that there is a rail track just over the Broad and it is noisy at night with freight trains (presumably) running all through the night. On the plus side, you are very close to Norwich, washrooms are fantastic and [presumably] the sports available on the Broads are great. We went first weekend of September 2020 and due to COVID 19, nothing was available, no kayaking, no boat rides...

Great glamping experience

We stayed in the shepherds hut, it was cosy and beautiful, the wood burning stove gave out so much heat that we had to open the window. Comfortable bed and plenty of space for the 2 of us. It is about as far away as it was possible to be from the toilet block, but still only a minute or two,. We had dreadful weather, but the campsite was obviously well-defined as it never turned into the swamp I would have expected. Great place

Nice site

My first proper camping trip with my 2 teenage boys. It was nice to be able to choose where to pitch up and the toilet/shower facilities were excellent (with my limited experience). Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was so pleased I’d chosen a site with a small shop - this was a godsend, as was the fire pit on a very chilly first night! I don’t think I’d return though because there was some noise from the road and trains which are quite close by and I am light sleeper.
