Small quiet site close to the water. Only suitable.for one or two nights due to limited facilities but more than makes up for it with its location.

Salhouse Broad Campsite is a back to basics camp, all it has is portable toilets and cold water pipe. You have to go through fields to reach the site and find a ranger, who gives you your pitch details. The field was quiet empty, so we had a nice pitch in the far corner, but the downside is we had to carry our camping gear across the field bit by bit, as no cars allowed on site, which was hard work Toilets were quiet a trek as they were near the entrance of field. However, we were next to a gate that led to the water and boats on the broads. There is also a small play area and coffee hut in next field selling drinks and ices and cakes, open 9am 'till around 5pm. You could swim, use your paddleboard or hire canoes in the broads as there is a small, manmade beach-type area. Pros were that it was a lovely, quiet site and is great if you like boats, water sports and lovely walks. Wildlife is lovely to hear at night. It's a cheap site with clean toilets and good value. Lovely stay here and only half hour to Great Yarmouth and Hemsby. Cons were that we were not allowed our car on the pitch to unload gear, so had walk our stuff across a field to pitch. Even when explained that I have disabilities, it was a no. But then next day, the next pitch along was dropping stuff off to their pitch area. It felt like depends which ranger is on at time of arrival. Camping area is quite remote to get to, and you have travel through 2 fields, but it is worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to review our site. You are correct that we don't allow cars on the campsite, this is to keep the site safe and to avoid the grass being churned up. We have a sign on the gate saying no cars beyond this point and if anyone drove on, it was because they ignored the sign, not because we allowed it. We're happy that despite this, you were able to enjoy your stay. Perhaps if you visit again, I would suggest that you select a pitch closer to the gate to avoid having to walk so far with your things.
