A warm welcome awaits you at The Dower House Touring Park - a real back to nature site providing guests with a luxury stay whether you're cooling off in the heated swimming pool, dining at the onsite pub or simply sitting back in your tent or tourer listening to the birdsong. Fancy glamping? Bell tents are also available to hire.

About The Dower House Touring Park

Nature lovers can enjoy this peaceful setting in the heart of Thetford Forest from a range of spacious grass pitches catering for tents and tourers. The site takes pride in providing guests with fewer but larger pitches, giving you plenty of room to park up and make yourself at home. There are a range of non electric and electric pitches scattered across the site as well as a few luxury bell tents for glampers. All bell tents are furnished with a double bed (bedding/towels provided) and also provide guests with heating, crockery and cooking utensils. Be sure to head outside the bell tent and laze on your own hammock too. Dogs are welcome too.

Open from 24 March to 1 October

Please show consideration to others at all times and keep noise to a minimum between 10.00pm and 8.00am with absolute quiet between 11.00pm and 7.00am. It can be hard to remember that the thin canvas of your tent or awning really doesn't keep the sound in.
