Camping The Old Brick Kilns
Tucked away in the tranquil Norfolk countryside, this award-winning campsite offers a serene escape that feels distinctly continental, with mature trees, flowering plants, and a central fishing lake creating a picturesque setting. The toilet and shower blocks consistently earn rave reviews for being the cleanest guests have ever encountered, featuring modern fixtures, underfloor heating, rainfall showers, and plentiful hot water. Staff members are exceptionally friendly and proactive, often helping with caravan placement or offering extras like fresh-baked bread to ensure a welcoming stay. The spacious, well-maintained pitches provide plenty of room and include fully serviced hardstanding options, though some spots under trees may have sap or limited shade. An adults-only section delivers extra peace and privacy, while families appreciate the playground and games room that keep kids entertained. The on-site bar, Barney's, serves delicious restaurant-quality food and drinks in a cozy atmosphere, with takeaway options available on select evenings, though hours can be limited, especially early in the week. A well-stocked shop offers fresh pastries and local produce, with bread available for pre-order each morning. The site is exceptionally quiet, with only birdsong breaking the stillness, making it a haven for relaxation. Dogs are well catered for with a dedicated dog walk, a dog wash, and nearby woodland trails, adding to the pet-friendly appeal. Fishing permits are available for the lake, drawing anglers who enjoy casting a line in peaceful surroundings. The location is ideal for exploring the North Norfolk coast, with attractions like Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham Nature Reserve, and Sheringham just a short drive away. The narrow access lane requires careful driving and can be muddy when wet, and some guests find WiFi unreliable, especially in lower parts of the site. Mobile signal is variable, with some networks performing better than others, and occasional noise from an RAF base or neighboring campers may be noticed. Tent pitches near trees may have falling acorns, and gravel surfaces can be hard for pegs, requiring a bit of preparation. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overwhelming sentiment is a desire to return, cementing this site as a top choice for couples, families, and solo travelers seeking a clean, quiet, and scenic base.
