About Dreamy Hollow Woodland Campsite and WW1 Trenches
Sit back and relax amongst nature at this family and dog friendly campsite immersed in nature, surrounded by woodlands. Just 15 minutes from sandy beaches, this is an ideal spot to enjoy both the countryside and coastline. All of the pitches will provide you with an authentic camping experience, set on either grass or in the woodlands, each sleeping between four and eight people. The eastern half of the site is for family camping and the western half of the site is adult only. There are then another four group pitches, each one sleeping either ten, 11, 15 or 30. None of the pitches come with electric, and all have their own fire baskets, perfect for evenings of toasting marshmallows. The north end of the Hollow has a wood-fired pizza oven too! Alternatively, you can opt for Sgt Taylor's Bunker which sleeps up to four adults in bunks for a unique war-time experience. Basic mattresses are provided, but guests will need to bring their own linen. Also inside you'll have your own table and chairs, small wood-burning fire and a flat top with a copper kettle. Dogs are welcome onsite too, just please keep them on the lead and always clean up after them. Campfires are allowed as long as they are in raised fire pits. All cars (except camper van pitches) will need to park up in the car park, with barrows and a buggy to help you get your stuff to your pitch.
Dreamy Hollow Woodland Campsite and WW1 Trenches is open from 11/01 to 30/11.

We have had a very relaxing stay at Dreamy Hollow Woodland Campsite. It felt very private as all people camping had their own little area that was surrounded by trees to camp in. John was very helpful to explain where everything was. Toilets and showers had hot water. Would highly recommend and come back myself as it's a great location too.

This site is a gem. I considered not writing a review just to keep the place to myself. For me, this is the perfect campsite. It's wild camping with all the benefits of a campsite (i.e. drinking water, showers and toilets). I went with my son, who is almost four, and he absolutely loved it too. We had a lot of space to ourselves. It's every bit as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The guys that run it are great too, really approachable, helpful and friendly. I thought the price was great. It's really well placed for the beach and not too far from small towns if you need shopping etc. I could just go on, but I won't. I'll just say I can't wait to go back. I would say that you shouldn't miss out on this place.

Thanks for your kind words. It's sounds like you're going to join our happy band of regulars. We have restored the naturally seeded woodland and WW1 trenches with traditional camping in mind. Aware of the cost of living crisis, we haven't increased our prices in 3 years and try to offer value for money. We love working at Dreamy Hollow, it is so peaceful that if you arrive a little stressed by life's troubles, it's soon gone after sipping a cuppa amongst the trees and the birdsong.
Unique and entirely pleasant experience

Dreamy Hollow is a delightful campsite in a beautiful woodland setting that is very well looked after. Each pitch is different and has its own charm, striking the perfect balance between wild camping and looked-after campsite. The facilities were also great and had everything you needed, the bespoke shower cubicles especially note-worthy. Great location, not far from the coast and lots of other places of interest in Norfolk. We had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend to get off the grid for a bit and still enjoy the luxury of running hot/drinking water.
