Berney Arms Camping

The cry of marsh birds and the rhythmic clank of the nearby windmill pump drift across this remote Norfolk Broads campsite, where arriving by train or boat feels more natural than by car. Berney Arms sits in splendid isolation along the River Yare, surrounded by vast wetland horizons that glow amber at sunset.

This is a pitch for adventurers and solitude-seekers who relish Britain's wild edges. The site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to a landscape shaped by water and sky, where the RSPB Berney Marshes nature reserve sprawls alongside. You're deep in the Broads' quietest corner here, miles from light pollution and the hum of modern life.

Facilities are straightforward – toilets and showers serve those who've made the pilgrimage to this unusual spot. Campfires may be permitted, so ask when you arrive. The pub next door adds welcome comfort after a day exploring the marshes or walking the Weavers' Way. The vibe is gloriously off-grid and uncommercial, perfect for those who measure a campsite's worth in stars overhead rather than stars on a rating scale.
