Fantastic weeken

Have just spent a fab 2 nights on this glorious site. Needed a quick and quiet weekend away from work without getting too strenuous and this was all our prayers answered. Really welcoming friendly wardens who provided s great deal of local knowledge. The site was beautifully laid out with very large hard standing pitches and grass available too. No shower lock facilities but that was not a problem for us. Great walks literally just by the site. Picked bag full of lovely blackberries which was a bonus for dessert. Can't wait to return to this peaceful paradise

Lovely site very clean and well looked after. Lots of nice walks through the forest or bike rides. Good for children to be children and explore the out doors, instead of being glued to T.V or I-pad etc. Would go again.

Peaceful site with lovely woodland walks

We stayed here for a week in mid-August. The site was busy at weekends but very quiet during the mid-week period. Good hard standing pitch (43). It was well into the site but nicely positioned for the evening sun - not that there was much! The wardens were very friendly and keep the site in excellent order. There are numerous relatively short woodland walks from the site but many others nearby. The information hut is well stocked with details. The Desert Rats memorial and walk through the 1944 camp area was very interesting. Apart from the birds the only noise (nuisance) comes from US Airforce jets which fly quite low every weekday but not until after 8am! I have to say we enjoyed watching them. Apart from the local walks we found Sheringham Park was an excellent National Trust park with lovely walks. Just a car park charge if not members. Well worth the drive. We also had a trip to Morston Quay - also NT - with coastal paths to enjoy. We parked late morning and walked to Blakeney. At that time it was very quiet but when we returned in the afternoon the car park was overflowing with people looking to join the seal watching trips that leave from the quay - tide dependent. Overall lovely location with considerable peace and quiet even in mid summer holiday time.

All about location

This was our first visit to the Thetford club site. We would normally stay on CL's but with the BTCC on at Snetterton Race Track there was no local availability. The site is well maintain by the lovely wardens and is a credit to both them for their hard work and to the club. The attraction for us was the walks into the woods directly from the site and the closeness of wildlife sites. Plenty of birds in and around the site. The site is slightly remote so although there were a few children around not sure how long it would be before they were bored!

Peace and quite

This was our first visit to Thetford forest, what a find peace and quite, the Military aircraft are not a problem. The site is kept in immaculate order. Step out of the caravan door and into the forest with its bird life and deer that walk past your window. With a fish and chip van on a Friday night what more do you need. Please don`t spoil this site by building a toilet block

A well earned rest

We have visited the site at Thetford Forest before and it didn't disappoint when we went back there recently for a ten night visit. The site is immaculate and is a true credit to the wardens. Apart from the occasional aircraft noise it is a very tranquil area with good walks. with maps and instructions available from the warden's office for a fee of a few pence. All drivers observed the site speed limit of 5 mph and the children on site were also respectful of the limit when riding their bikes. We visited the Wayland Show which is a traditional agricultural show with tractors and machines (classic and modern), a good display of cows, sheep and pigs, a funfair and fast food and lots of entertainment in the main ring.

Shhhh!

Although we could in no way fault the layout, the cleanliness and the pitch sizes , our stay was a little like treading on egg shells. It was so very quiet, and unless we took our children out into the woods to let off steam, which we did often, we felt there was no area for them to simply be children. Its was all so calm. We are not rowdy people by any means and we love tranquility but we did feel like we had to be on best behaviour. It was great for a few nights to explore the area, but the lack of toilet block would make a longer stay difficult.

A great relax for 4 Nights.

We returned to this site again because of the peace and quite; I know the military aircraft fly around but we don't mind that. The site is great for a peaceful existence but has little to keep the children amused. The site also allows us to visit National Trust and English Heritage buildings. If you are a Whisky drinker the English Whisky Company is a must (but do nominate a driver, as tours and tastings are plentiful). The downside of the site - none; I personally wish that people would keep their speed down especially when there are young children around.

Happy Caravanners

Immaculate site in a huge forest setting. Many long walks. Great for the dogs! In fact, a very 'doggy' site! We were there mid-week in school hols & NO kids! Great for us OAPs. (We love kids really ??) Very historic site as this is where the Desert Rats were pre-Normandy landing. Wardens great, nice & friendly. Tiny little shop, in fact queue outside sometimes, but has most things you might want. Very conveniently placed facilities on site. You will need to drive to nearest shops & supermarkets. (About 7-8 miles away) Nearest pub/restaurant equally as far. Obviously being close to Lakenheath be prepared for low flying jets & helicopters. They seem to avoid normal sleeping hours! Overall a very enjoyable site to which we will return, probably frequently.

Forest on your door step

We stayed here for just one night and enjoyed the forest surroundings, which are easy to access via gates around the site. Not tranquil, as there seemed to be a wood yard sawing timber in the near vacinity during my stay. But once that packed in and went home it was nice. We walked in the woods on well marked trails and saw deer as well as plenty of bird life and fauna. Picked wild raspberries. The site was well cared for and the pitches are generous, with well placed services.
