Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: Tour for Less | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
Thetford Forest Club Campsite is set in luscious Forestry Commission woodland. Quiet and secluded, the campsite offers pitching areas in open glades and tempting trails for exploring the natural charms of the surrounding area. Within the forest there is a memorial area and guided trail dedicated to the Desert Rats, who were based and trained here during the Second World War. On-site there is an abundance of wildlife, with deer often spotted in the early mornings. The site is wonderful for dogs, with great walks nearby.
Within a short distance from Thetford Forest Club Campsite you will discover the market town of Swaffham. Steeped in Georgian history, the town also has a fine Saturday market for some leisurely retail therapy. It is also known for being the birthplace of Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb, and there is an extensive exhibition about him in the local history museum located above the town hall. Both King's Lynn and Norwich have other historical centres of note, and are within easy driving distance of the campsite. Another excellent day excursion would be the beautiful Norfolk coastline with its many charming villages. High Lodge Forest Park is a great day out for kids and Lynford Hall and Arboretum offer some lovely walks. Plenty of pubs including The Swan in Hilborough, can be reached within a short car ride.

Super long weekend
We spent a wonderful Easter weekend away here. It's a great place to feel out in nature, dropping off to sleep to the call of tawny owls. There's walks around the site and some great places to visit nearby. Well set out with lovely level pitches and lovely friendly wardens.

This was my first ever trip in my campervan so I was quite nervous about what to do. I needn’t have worried. I was met by a very nice lady who explained everything to me. She suggested a secluded pitch in a glade. I parked up as directed and managed... Show more
