Whitlingham Broad Campsite

The distinctive calls of coots and grebes drift across glassy water as morning mist lifts from Whitlingham Broad, revealing sails catching the early light. This lakeside campsite occupies a prime position beside one of Norfolk's best-loved Broads, where the waterscape creates an ever-changing backdrop to your pitch.

Perfect for families seeking waterside adventures and couples craving that classic Norfolk experience, this is genuine Broads camping within easy reach of Norwich. The broad itself offers sailing, kayaking and waterside walks, while the surrounding country park provides miles of traffic-free cycling trails. It's proper East Anglian camping – unpretentious and refreshingly close to nature, where children can spend days exploring the water's edge and evenings watching bats flit overhead.

The campsite welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, with toilet and shower facilities keeping things straightforward. Campfire policies should be checked on arrival, so enquire when you pitch up. The vibe here is relaxed and outdoorsy – think morning swims, lazy afternoons watching sailing boats, and that special quality of light that makes the Broads so utterly captivating.
