Norfolk Coast

The Water Meadows

The soft rustle of reeds and the distant call of marsh birds drift across this peaceful Norfolk Coast site, where morning mist often lingers over the meadows before the sun breaks through. Swallows skim low across the grass in summer, and there's that particular quality of light you only find this close to the North Norfolk shoreline.

The Water Meadows welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its grassy pitches, making it a versatile base for exploring one of England's most cherished coastal regions. You're perfectly positioned for cycling the quiet lanes that lace through north Norfolk, visiting traditional seaside towns, or walking out to wide sandy beaches backed by pine woods and dunes. This is classic Norfolk camping territory, where the landscape feels both gentle and expansive.

Campfires may be permitted, though you'll need to check the current policy when you arrive. The atmosphere here is refreshingly straightforward and low-key – this is meadow camping as it should be, where the surrounding countryside provides the entertainment and the site itself offers a tranquil spot to pitch up and unwind.
