Brakehill Lodge Farm benefits from being away from the main roads, tucked into the Norfolk countryside, ten minutes outside the market town of Watton. The site has just four bell tents, a shepherd's hut and one electric pitch site for a tent, so you'll never be surrounded by too many other campers. Enjoy days exploring the nearby Thetford Forest and evenings around your firepit and BBQ watching the sun go down across the fields.

Small site in the Norfolk Countryside with picturesque rural views

Just 25 minutes from the Thetford Forest, 45 minutes from Norwich

Relax around the fire pit and enjoy the games room with pool and a football table

About Brakehill Lodge Farm

Campers and glampers can enjoy spending time at this scenic orchard site in Norfolk. Half an hour from Thetford forest, and within 50 minutes of Norwich and the coast, you will be spoilt for choice for days out with plenty of attractions and destinations to explore! Offering a peaceful getaway, the site has just one 8m x 8m electric grass pitch in the orchard. The pitch welcomes up to four guests with a 6 amp hook up, fire pit and your own picnic bench to enjoy a lovely picnic lunch. If glamping is more your style, the site has four charming bell tents on offer, each sleeping up to four. Inside you will find a double and two air beds, towels, blankets and tea/coffee facilities for your morning cuppa. Please note, bedding is only provided for the double. Great for couples, the site also has a shepherd's hut for two. The Fieldfare shepherd's hut is 2m x 4m equipped with a double bed, table and chairs along with a wood burner for those cooler evenings. Outside both the bell tents and shepherd's huts you will find a BBQ, fire pit and there is also a gas cooker, perfect for your morning fry up! BBQs are permitted onsite along with the fire pits provided, so don't forget to bring your chef's apron. Dogs are welcome too, with one allowed per pitch and in the glamping units.

Open from 7 April to 30 September

A note from the site themselves...

Brakehill Lodge Farm used to be home to pigs and cows in days gone by, but now it is a family home and more recently a glamping site. It is rewarding to hear how much our guests enjoy the countryside and the farm yard in summer. There are some lovely walks and you can spot lots of birds, hares, deer.
