  • Pitches and main facilities all wheelchair accessible
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Norfolk coast
The kilns may be old but the facilities – them’s all set for the 21st century. In fact, The Old Brick Kilns has got things so well sorted it’s even won awards for its offerings. All your everyday needs have been considered by the thoughtful folk at this peaceful rural site: there's a launderette that takes card payments, a tourist info point stacked with handy pointers and first-rate washrooms with underfloor heating. The shop’s shelves are filled with various essentials and treats, and you can call in a day ahead to order warm bread and fresh croissants for a leisurely breakfast. If you’re here at the right time, site staff can sort your evening drinks too: the bar is open on certain nights, with ales and ciders up for grabs. Should you choose to lounge about on site for a bit (as indeed you should…) there are wildflower meadows to skip through and a fishing pond that you’re welcome to dangle your rod into for a small charge. A playground, table tennis and games room are all on hand for the entertainment of small people. This nifty Norfolk location, 15 minutes from Fakenham, has you well placed for all sorts of outings too – beaches, nature reserves and stately homes are all within a half-hour drive. Guests travelling with wheelchairs or buggies will be chuffed to note that this is a pleasingly accessible site, with plenty of ramps and firm pathways to aid manoeuvres around the place.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly helpful staff. Clean modern toilets, showers. Good shop and bar. Decent evening meal. Flat level tent pitch. Pleasant countryside location.

Disliked: The non-electric tent pitches are right by woodland so had a lot of insects at some times of day; other areas seemed much less affected.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet site with fantastic toilet/ showers and washing up/ waste disposal

Disliked: Asked for the two pitches booked to be together as could see two hard standing pitches in the camping area. On arrival I was told they didn’t need my booking reference and when I mentioned the details, I got a laughing ’Well, you are not together, your caravan is over on the powered pitches, but it isn’t a very big site’ followed by ‘Oh you did it through Pitched Up did you?’ When our friends arrived they were told were to go on the powered tent site. Neither of us wanted power as was stated in our booking which wasn’t checked. She said we had a caravan and was surprised when I said it was a motor home! The hard standing next to our friends tent remained empty as did many of the pitches that would have been a shorter walk.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (super)

Liked: Just home from a fab stay at Old Brick kilns. Peaceful, lovely looking surroundings set out informally in groups, with lots of space between pitches, shower and toilet blocks spotless, bar, meals including Sunday roast. Every thing we could want as an older couple. Fishing if you're that way inclined and games room and play ground if you have kids. Staff very helpful and friendly. We liked it so much we're booked to go back in a few weeks

Disliked: Wi-fi was a bit iffy

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (super, adults only)

Liked: Beautiful site, spotlessly clean and well kept. Fabulous facilities. Best shower I had on a campsite in a long while. Lovely bar on site which served delicious food and drinks. Would have like draft beers, as only bottles available, but that was literally the only (tiny) complaint!

Disliked: Nothing, it was a great campsite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Local attractions

The good folk of Norfolk know a thing or two about gorgeous coastlines, so it’s highly recommended that you bag a bit of beach time while you’re here: the great sandy swathes at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both about half an hour away by car. With coast comes wildlife, and the places to find creatures around here are the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) and the boat trips that leave Morston Quay (20 minutes) to see England’s biggest seal colony, which hangs out on or around Blakeney Point. It’s not all about the coast, however – inland’s got plenty of treats to offer too: give the Queen a wave at Sandringham (half an hour’s drive), wander through 100 acres of fragrant lavender fields in Heacham (35 minutes) and sniff out some history at medieval Walsingham (15 minutes) or the stately homes Blickling Estate and Houghton Hall (both 25 minutes).
