Whitlingham Broad Campsite
UK England East Anglia Norfolk Norwich
Whitlingham Lane, Norwich, Norfolk NR14 8TR
This Broadland campsite has been tacked onto the spacious Whitlingham Country Park on the edge of Norwich, and is a great place to stay, offering a truly peaceful waterside camping experience, plentiful activities, plus the delights of one of England's nicest cities on your doorstep. It's both a useful gateway to the Broads and a perfect base for exploring the medieval delights of Norfolk's county capital. There are spacious grass pitches spread over two – upper and lower – fields. You can park up tent-side in the lower field while the upper is a car-free haven with plenty of room for a run and a play. Dogs are welcome, and there are also a couple of fully furnished bell tents and two cute and cosy shepherds huts, with views overlooking the Broad.

The Owner Says
Run by Linda Robey and her dog Mr Murphy, it's The Broads-Lite, if we're honest, but that's no reason not to come here – it'sWashing facilities are good and include 3 ladies and 2 gents loos with washbasins, and 2 shower rooms, one male, one female, each containing 3 showers and a communal changing area with benches and clothes pegs. The country park's Outdoor Education Centre provides a host of activities including kayaking, sailing and windsurfing on the Broad, but if you'd rather keep your feet strictly on the the ground there's countless scenic walks and bike rides to enjoy. Or you could nip into Norwich for the day and visit its lovely old centre and grand cathedral.
