Bircham Windmill Reviews
Bircham Windmill is situated in the peaceful Norfolk countryside, within 15 minutes of the coast and Sandringham Estate. Set on the grounds of a unique historic mill, guests can pick between grass tent and touring pitches, along with charming shepherd's huts for those who prefer glamping. Start the day with a full English at the onsite tea rooms, try baking your own bread, or climb the mill and admire the views. Dogs are welcome too!

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

Loved our stay. We had tween and teenage kids and the site may suit those with younger children better we were shushed by campers by 9 pm before it was dark
Great spot!

Was fairly quiet on the site for a BH with nice spacious pitches & plenary of room for chn to play. Quiet at night too - very considerate fellow campers! Self check in but clear instructions sent regarding pitch. 3 showers and Loos so enough especially as more folk in motor homes. Little extras like plenty of clean shower mats & tea towels. Good sized indoor games room too and at least 2 washing up areas. Great tea room and milk which was busy with tourists but not that you’d notice on site. Nearest pub a 15/20 min walk away. We are walkers but not many footpaths locally so had to walk a lot on quiet roads. Yea room & bakery were fab! A great breakfast and the doughnuts and Bircham buns definitely SCRUMMY! Enjoyable stay. Was good to learn about the history of the mill as well.
Peaceful and comfortable

I was with a friend. The campsite is amazing, so peaceful and quiet. Staff members are very helpful. You can have lots of fun around - they have their own bakery, where you can bake bread from scratch and it take home. They have animals like donkeys, horse and a sheep. They have 2 shepherd's huts. Close distance to the seaside - around 7 miles. They have an a 100 year old windmill. Tea and coffee and their own homemade food. Truly recommend this campsite.

We just got back from a weekend at Bircham Mill and my wife and I loved it. Food in the cafe was lovely, we made our own bread and butter in the mill. What I was most impressed with is how they have got such a great balance to have the commercial tourist attraction of the mill, but keep the feel of the campsite so homely and personal. The wash up room full of tea towels free to use, the washrooms with loads of shower mats to use. Up-cycled washing machine drums to use as firepit/bbq. We really got the feel that they love their site and would do anything to please the guests. Will definitely be going back.

Good, quiet site with excellent café, friendly staff and clean facilities. It seemed families were in one area and couples in another, so the only noise we had at night were owls hooting and deer barking! Plus we got to see hares racing about in the adjoining field. Great location for exploring this part of Norfolk, and some great pubs are within a 15 minute drive.
Very good site

Lovely quiet campsite surrounded by fields. Saw muntjac, hares, pheasants and red kite. More suited to families with young children. Great bakery on site. Could do with more shower facilities.

Great place to stay for a night or two. Toilets were clean and the shop/bakery looked good. I think £32 + £8 a night for electric is a bit steep however. Very peaceful place - cool animals too!

Small campsite in a peaceful country location with a working windmill. Horse, donkey, sheep and chickens in the field next to the site. Easy drive to North Norfolk beaches. Ample country pubs with great quality food. (Book well in advance to secure a booking for evening meals if going out). Clean washing facilities and washing up facilities. Good entertainment room for kids. We go every year. One of our preferred sites.
Lovely location set in beautiful surroundings

What a lovely place to stay. I loved the activities within the windmill and the gorgeous homemade produce. Fresh produce on sale including locally made flour and eggs laid by the chickens. Breakfasts are lovely and the freshly baked cakes are absolutely gorgeous. Good sized pitches with hook ups. Facilities are very good including shower mats and tea towels for use with the availability of a washing machine. The staff are all lovely and very polite, genuinely had a lovely feel. The tea room gardens are lovely with lots to do and there are some sheep, a horse and a donkey which had my granddaughter fascinated. Would definitely stay here again.
A wonderful site, we will be returning for longer next year!!

Easy to find and was given clear directions to my pitch. Lovely clean site, proper showers with clean shower mats for each person to use and very peaceful overall. Made use of the on site games room and the tea rooms in the morning. As a solo visitor, I felt really safe.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bircham Windmill. The kids loved making bread, climbing the windmill and enjoying the bakery goods! The horse was an absolute favourite with the children. Such a beautiful location and a nice quiet site. Lots to do locally as well, exploring the beautiful coastline, deer safari and Sandringham.
