About Bircham Windmill
The family-friendly site enjoys an idyllic location set in the heart of Norfolk's winding hills. Guests can enjoy a unique experience, set in the grounds of a stunning old windmill right onsite that guests can climb up and marvel at the breathtaking countryside views. There are 15 grass pitches with optional electric 16 amp hook-up, all measuring a spacious 12m x 8m. All of the pitches are suitable for tents, trailer tents, caravans, campervans, motorhomes and RVs, allowing up to six guests each. For those wanting something a little extra, opt for one of the two onsite shepherd's huts, Ryeland and Romney. Both have a double bed, with Romney having space for a child's camping bed on the floor which can be added on as a bookable extra. Each features a well-stocked kitchenette, complete with a toaster, kettle and fridge. Both huts are warm and cosy and have their own outdoor seating and cooking area, perfect for a spot of al fresco dining. Have a go at making your own bread or treat yourself to some freshly baked bread and cakes at the onsite bakery, or venture off into the countryside as there is a plethora of trails nearby. Guests can also grab breakfast, lunch and treats at the onsite tea rooms with a games room with a TV for chilling out! Evenings can also be spent cooking up a BBQ or toasting marshmallows over the fire pit, as long as both are raised from the ground and burn smokeless fuel. Dogs are allowed onsite, including in the shepherd's huts, just please keep them on the lead at all times. Cycle storage is available if you're bringing your own bike.
Camping is available from Easter to the end of September and the shepherd's huts are available from Easter to the start of September
Facilities include toilets, three showers and a games room with a TV, pool table, microwave, kettle, fridge and freezer plus washing machine available. There is also a kid's playground and garden area.
A bakery is adjoined to the mill which offers tea rooms serving breakfast, lunch and homemade bakes/treats, along with baking experiences and a gift shop. The closest pub is The Railway Inn, a ten minute drive away in Docking where you'll also find a Spar for food and supplies.

Beautiful location with the windmill, animal paddocks and tearooms right next to the pitches. Really good, clean facilities with use of showers, toilets, kitchen (with fridge and washing machine), games room and play areas for the kids. It is a small site, which suited us perfectly. The evenings were spent star gazing as it benefits from dark skies all around. Really close to the local beaches too.
Highly recommend

Great place, we loved every minute. Good amenities, very well kept and maintained, shower mats, tea towels, and washing up liquid all provided. My boys (aged 5&9) loved the morning we spent doing a tour of the mill, grounds, learning to bake bread and feeding the animals. Great location too, with 3 or 4 beautiful beaches all within a 20 minute drive.
Brilliant campsite for the whole family
