About Park Farm Camping

Hidden away in the fields and meadows surrounding a working farm this campsite offers a peaceful base from which to explore Norfolk. Ideal for the whole family with spacious fields to play in or simply sit back and unwind and spot wildlife around your pitch. The site is run by husband and wife duo, Ryan and Hannah, and the site is friendly and relaxed. Simple camping with grass pitches with either a 16 amp electric hook up or no electric. Pitches measure a spacious 10m x 10m. For backpackers, there are 30 unassigned grass pitches and there are also five fully serviced hardstanding pitches for those needing it. Situated next to a small working cattle farm, there is often a view of the Lincoln Reds when they're grazing in the front meadow. The site's central location is perfect for visiting many of the county's top attractions, and the amazing coastline is just 45 minutes away. The site is just a short walk to the River Wensum which makes a lovely stroll with views of meadows and churches. Well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on a lead due to being near a working farm. Ground fires and electric BBQs are not permitted, but fires and BBQs in raised fire pits are. The site has fire pits to hire with logs and kindling to purchase, please note that fuel must be purchased onsite.

Park Farm Camping is open from 27/03 to 30/10 in 2024 and from 28/03 to 03/11 in 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

A warm hello! We are Ryan and Hannah, a married couple who took over the management of this beautiful site in May 2024. In January 2023, whilst in a local pub, the question of whether we fancied running a campsite was put to us.

Ryan sold it to Hannah as an opportunity to have her much desired herd of runner ducks and vegetable gardens, and Hannah thought it would be good for Ryan to spend more time away from his desk and be outside. So they both said "alright then, deal", and the rest is history. (We are yet to have ducks, have only grown rhubarb thus far and Ryan is still on the computer a lot.)

Our backgrounds have given us a bunch of useful skills including marketing, sales, hospitality and customer service. By trade, we are a Web Developer and a Speech and Language Therapist. Our interests revolve around travel, food, reading, meeting people and visiting independent pubs!

We share the 8-acre site with our two sweet Cocker Spaniels, Frieda and Ethel. They are pure joy and we love them very much, although Frieda can be a bit sassy!

Making this site a laid-back, friendly, nature loving, peaceful place are our top priority. We have oodles of ideas to make this special place even lovelier, and we can't wait to share it with you all when we get around to it.
