Quiet and friendly site near the banks of the river Chet in Loddon.
On the edge of the Norfolk Broads, a half-hour drive from the coast.
Boat moorings, slipway and river fishing on site.
From vineyards and local mills to nosing around Norwich, there are all sorts of things to do from Loddon Campsite and Marina. This peaceful and friendly site in the Norfolk village of Loddon is near the banks of the river Chet and there’s no shortage of handy things around either, including pubs, shops and an excellent chippy within a short walk of the site.

The riverside setting is key here: guests have access to the water with moorings, a slipway for boats and space for fishing (for carp, tench, roach and perch, if you were wondering for what exactly). You’ll need to keep a good hold of your catch though, as there’s a resident heron on site that probably wouldn’t mind sharing in the spoils…

This is a handy spot for getting out and about in the Norfolk countryside: there are walks along the river just by the site or hire boats for a cruise along to the Norfolk Broads. Alternatively, head west to Norwich or east to the coast with a drive of half an hour or less. Dogs are welcome to join you on trips here, but must be kept on a lead.

The Hammock Hut

Wardley Hill Campsite is an eco campsite in the Waveney Valley between Beccles and Bungay on the Norfolk and Suffolk border. Offering unregimented car free camping and glamping near to the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Coast.

Arrive here and leave your stresses and car at the door.  That done, wander through the long, wildflower strewn grasses that make up this unashamedly gorgeous and ecologically aware site in the heart of the Suffolk Countryside.  Wardley Hill Campsite is stunning and buzzing with nature, set over 6 acres of mature woodland and rural meadows, with streams babbling through it.  The apparently random layout here is in fact well thought out, with pitches carved into the long grasses and dotted around the field, blending in seamlessly and giving nature a chance to flourish and thrive around you.  Depending on the size of your group, choose a small secluded area, or a larger spot if you are more than one family.  

Wardley Hill Campsite is as close to wild camping as you can get….without actually camping wildly on someone else’s land when you shouldn’t be.  Tents and small campervans only here and they are firmly off grid, so no electric hook-ups or bright lights shining from anywhere, meaning dark skies and starry nights.  Vehicles are not allowed on the tent site (on arrival you trolley your stuff to your pitch, festival-style), which means less noise, less pollution and no doors slamming when your neighbours come back from a day out at Beccles.  Facilities are reassuringly simple and charming; three pretty wooden huts are home to a hot shower and well maintained composting toilets, and homemade fire pits are available in the shape of upcycled washing machine drums - perfect for nighttime campfires.

If you love the idea of being out in nature but are either tent-less or in need of a few creature comforts, Wardley Hill has some awesome glamping options to choose from.  There are two shepherds huts; one larger ‘Tinkers Hut’ which sleeps 5, the other - Hilda - sleeps 3; Stingray shaped tree tents suspended from the branches sleeping two or three, a Hammock Hut (also containing a sofa bed if you don’t want to be swung to sleep) and a large Bell Tent with proper beds.  The Shepherds huts have private toilets and all of the accommodation is unique and beautifully thought out.

The nearby countryside is well worth exploring if you can tear yourself away from the camp (and no one will blame you if you can’t).  Waveney Valley runs along the border of Norfolk and Suffolk and is a largely unspoilt area with idyllic villages, pretty market towns - Diss and Beccles to name a couple - Norman Castles, ancient churches and bags of local history.  Adventure down the River Waveney which passes just a mile from Wardley Hill Campsite; you can hire a stand-up paddleboard from here and glide along the quiet stretches of water - the Bungay loop is motorboat free so you will be guaranteed a calm paddle here.  From Beccles you can also hire a canoe, or if you don’t want to do all the hard work then take an organised cruise or hire a day boat.  Crystal clear waters and calm conditions make for ideal wildlife spotting - keep a lookout for kingfishers and otters amongst other things.

Wardley Hill campsite offers everything you could want to make a camping holiday truly relaxing and  memorable; a wild and pretty eco site with a limited impact on nature.  “Camping with Soul” said one happy camper.  No one will argue with that.

**Whitlingham Broad Campsite** is an absolute corker; lovers of the great outdoors will find everything they need and bags more at this unique, friendly, well run and brilliantly situated campsite.  Just a short stroll to the historic city of **Norwich** and in 80 acres of beautiful countryside on the edge of the **Norfolk Broads National Park**, this campsite couldn’t be better placed to enjoy some of the very best of what **Norfolk** has to offer.

There is a wide variety of awesome accommodation here and something for everyone; the quandary might be choosing which one to book.  If you have your own kit, there is a simple camping field with lots of grassy pitches, all with glorious views across the Country Park.  One field is tents only and vehicle free so super safe for the kids gadding about; the other field allows tents, small campervans and small motorhomes - all wonderfully electricity free - so it is chilled out, fuss-free,family friendly camping at its best here.  There’s an excellent amenities block, an outdoor washing up area and in between the two fields, there is an epic wooden adventure playground.  A handy shop selling camping essentials, snacks and lots more is onsite -  and they’ll even charge your phone for you.

If you haven’t got your own camping gear, a bevvy of glamping alternatives await.  Choose from one of their lovely boutique bell tents, decked out in funky vintage decor and sleeping 6, or the cosy shepherds hut for 3 with a woodburning stove for colder evenings.  There are also two fabulous converted railway good wagons - Bertie and Ronnie - for a stay with a difference, or a beautiful and spacious **Mongoliglan yurt**; all these three have their own decking area, a woodburner and a hammock for lazing about.  And - new for 2021 - the creative geniuses that run Whitlingham Broad Campsite have built two **Woodland dens**; luxury **treehouses** raised up off the woodland floor on stilts, with breathtaking views out across the countryside. 

You’ll want to stay here for weeks, not days.  The surrounding countryside is awesome, and the very welcoming owners know a vast amount about the area and are on hand to give any advice about what to see and do.  There are many ways to explore the great outdoors here; grab a bike and cycle to one of the local villages, drive out to the coast and take a boat trip to see the seal colonies at Horsey, hire a canoe (just a few minutes from the campsite) and explore the Norfolk Broads from the water or walk one of the many pretty trails in the surrounding 80 acres of Whitlingham Country Park.  For winter sports lovers, Norfolk Snowsports is just down the road from the campsite where you can ski, snowboard, or just bomb down the dry slopes on an inflatable tube.  Two miles away is the lovely city of **Norwich** with its beautiful Castle - now a museum - packed with galleries of archaeology, natural history and art; the city also has some excellent restaurants, pubs and independent shops and is well worth a day trip.

At the end of a long day exploring some of Norfolk’s best bits, head back to **Whitlingham** **Campsite** and light a fire (fire pits can be hired if you don’t have your own), sit back and watch the sun setting….from your tent, yurt, treehouse in the woods or whatever your den for the night might be.  This is an outdoor adventure at its very best; a wonderful family friendly campsite with bags to do, lots to see and some fabulous adventures to be had.
