After some research, we found this site with availability. Having stayed along this coastline extensively previously, we hadn't been to Waxham. The site is literally a lovely 15 min walk to the dunes and beach. The initial pathway to the beach is also exclusive to the site. We were lucky as we managed to see the seals, which was a bonus. On arrival, I was met by the owner on reception - a lovely welcome and an immaculate spacious site. The facilities are clean and tidy and spotless! The site is also peaceful which was nice 👍🏻
Well maintained and a 15 minute walk from the sea

A well kept farm location for camping, with beautiful surrounding Norfolk Countryside and only 15 mins walk to the beach. The owners were friendly and eager to answer any queries. I visited during winter so only the hard standing locations were available, but they have fields next door set up for use during the summer for wider ranges of camping. The farm was quiet and well maintained and only curious sheep watching as you walk by. If you have a self contained camping set up and you want to visit Norfolk then this is a great option.
Peace and quiet

Booked a three night stay over Christmas as we wanted a site close to the coast as it was our first stay with our motorhome, we really couldn't have picked a more perfect site. We were pitched on a concrete surface adjacent to the EHU and fresh water and within a few yards of the facilities. The facilities were excellent, clean and very well presented all located in a dedicated area inside the building. The walk to the beach was less than a mile away and was a very pleasant walk to Happisburgh. The circular dog walk route was very pleasant and well sign posted. Overall a wonderful site, very well presented, a nice welcome and superbly tranquil. Thoroughly recommended.

Things to do on site and in the Norwich area
There are many local attractions for families, couples and nature lovers. The beaches of Norfolk are a stone's throw away (15 minutes), and absolutely beautiful. Most of these are dog friendly, too, so bring your pup with you.
The golden sand of Waxham beach (15 minutes) is the closest and is never crowded, You will almost always see seals in the sea all year round, and then from late October to early February a short walk along the beach will reward you with the spectacle of the Famous Horsey seal colony up on the beach for pupping season. During this time please do keep your distance and keep your dogs on a lead.
The idyllic Norfolk Broads (25 minutes) are a lovely day out for those looking to take to the water, with great activities including boating, sailing, paddle boarding and canoeing all available.
Local activities include:
- National Trust Horsey Windpump (5 minutes)
- Walking the Norfolk Coast Path (15 minutes)
- Hemsby Fun Park (15 minutes)
- BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes)
- Wroxham Barn (25 minutes)
- Norwich (45 minutes)
- Cycling the Norfolk Coast Cycleway (an hour)
