A note from the site themselves...

Hello! And thank you for considering a stay at Ferrygate Camping. The meadow has been owned by our family since 1937 and was originally part of a dairy farm - the brick wall of our open barn is the remains of the old cattleyard.

Sometime during the 1960s the cows moved from Martham to another nearby farm and the meadow was then used to grow grass and provide silage for feeding the cows in winter. With the decline in dairy farming incomes, diversification became necessary and options included the idea of a campsite.

So, in the summer of 2018 we trialled a pop-up one! This proved very popular and we realised what a gem we had! Not only because of its quiet, rural setting but with its proximity to the water of the Broads.

We spent much time and effort gaining planning permission and designing our off-grid facilities and opened in 2021. We have since welcomed hundreds of lovely camping folk, with or without their children, their dogs, their canoes, kayaks or paddleboards and we hope that you might also book and come and experience what it is to stay with us at Ferrygate Camping.

You can be assured of a genuinely warm welcome, a peaceful stay and the guarantee of seeing lots of wildlife right from your tent! Our aim is to provide you with a wonderful camping stay and to share with you our very special little corner of Norfolk. We do hope you will come and visit soon...
