  • Lovely setting with space to play, great base to explore Norfolk
Standing in the heart of Norfolk's undulating fields, Bircham Windmill Caravan and Campsite is a quiet site, right next to the Windmill tourist attraction. It is a good base for walking and cycling, with the nearest beach only 5 miles away. The camping field is set between arable farmland, with very little passing traffic; you can often hear barn owls, little owls, pheasants and partridge, sparrow and many other birds and wildlife. There are also the owners' own sheep, goat, pony and donkey, making this park an ideal destination for a break away with your children. Guests have free access to the tearooms and to the garden area, perfect for relaxing whilst the kids play in the games room or in the play area. On site, you will also find a gift shop and a bakery, where kids can try their baking skills in the Children's Baking Corner (a small charge applies).
