Norfolk has it all, big skies, beautiful beaches, wildlife and the sea! And if camping doesn’t work out for your family, it’s a short hop back home. That’s the beauty of camping in Norfolk for me!
The list of sites is quite huge, so I’ve reduced it to some classic family friendly sites with a few unusual ones thrown in. If I’ve missed any out, feel free to let us know on the Norwich Mumbler social media pages.
If you are booking a camping site, remember to check all the safety measures before you go and bear in mind that some elements of the site, such as children’s playgrounds or swimming pools may still be closed on your visit.
Covid restrictions may still apply. Remember to check in advance.
