About Driftways Glamping and Camping
Driftways Glamping and Meadow Camping site is based at Moat Farm, in the heart of the East Anglian countryside and is surrounded by farmland. Even though it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, the site provides easy access to a huge range of attractions and amenities across the local area. There are 13 spacious pitches, five individual bell tents for glamping and eight oversize camping areas mowed into the meadow grass. All pitches have their own clean compost toilet, campfire area, picnic bench and cooking area. Each bell tent also has a fully equipped kitchenette and own device charging facilities. Shared hot gas and solar-powered showers are available nearby for all guests to use. Bedding is not included but is available for hire from the site. Choose the extra luxury of a deluxe bell tent and you'll be treated to your own toasty wood burner! Site owners Vanessa and Andrew aim to provide guests with comfort in nature with an off-grid glamping and camping experience and therefore the site aims to be as eco as possible. Recycling bins are provided but guests are politely asked to keep glass usage to a minimum. The site is across the lane from the team's smallholding and divided into camping and glamping areas. Driftways does not allow pets within glamping, except for guide dogs. Dogs are allowed to stay with camping guests for a small fee.
Driftways Glamping and Camping is open from 03/05 to 29/09.
Site facilities include hot showers onsite as well as water and washing up facilities. Across the lane The Dairy houses a fridge/ freezer and an honesty shop.
It's around 3 miles to both Pulham Market and Long Stratton. Pulham has two pubs which both serve food and a local shop and post office. Long Stratton is slightly larger and has a Co-op, a leisure centre with gym and soft play, pubs and takeaways (which can deliver to site).

Stopped off here as part of a multi day bike-packing trip. Whilst the weather was horrendous (strong rain and wind) the camping pitch was a godsend - largely because of the sheltered toilet. The shower was amazing (hot and powerful) and very welcomed! When I was setting off, I got a puncture leaving the campsite which I was struggling with. One of the owners from Moat Farm (I'm sorry that I didn't catch his name) came over to help and managed to get me back on the road. I was very grateful of his help. All in all a great stay and would happily come back with wife and dogs in a sensible sized tent! Thanks for the stay guys.
Lovely secluded site

The owners are very helpful and organised. There is a kind of relaxed quiet quaintness. Never had so much dedicated space before. Each pitch is formed of a mown island amongst the long grass (when we went a metre tall). The dedicated composting toilet was an experience, but very clean and did not smell at all, my teenage daughter and reluctant camper wife were perfectly happy with it too. We also particularly like that each pitch has its own toilet, this means that you have the convenience of being right next to a loo, without the resultant noise from other campers (banging doors etc). With the long grass for privacy and warm evenings, it was as convenient as using the loo at home for the inevitable trips during the night. (I seem to be going on about toilets quite a bit!) We never had to queue for a shower and they were very clean and practical with plenty of space and hot water.
Enjoyed it so much I booked an extra night!

Excellent campsite! The fact you get your own compositing toilet on your pitch is amazing when you have children. The pitches are all mown into the meadow, and provide great privacy while still creating pathways for neighbours to say high and for the kids to meet and play together. I loved the fire pits on each pitch too, with logs and kindling available from the farm house. A really cosy evening fire with only the solar lights and the stars in the sky was just blissful each night. The owners were lovely, and although a lot of wasps had emerged the day before we arrived (a problem across all of Norfolk that week) they worked hard to make wasp traps for each pitch, and in the main that really helped, and no one got stung!! The solar showers were lovely and warm with great water pressure, the only thing that was a bit of a faff was filling your washing up bowl in the shower to take over to the washing station! The walk from the car parking to the pitches wasn't far at all, and there were wheelbarrows for everyone to use. My only feedback is that the site is a little tricky to spot when driving past….which was a bit stressful when towing a small trailer as I had to unhitch and turn round in someone's driveway! I will definitely go back again in the future. Well connected for Bressingham steam museum, Africa Alive and the Beccles Lido.
