We come here two or three times a year just to get away and chill out , lovely walks from the site and plenty of cycling . we went on the grass in the wooden areas , but be warned every morning at 7am ( squirrels can tell the time ) they would shake the trees and the cones kept coming down on the caravan roof this would continue for about an hour or so . Pitch 60 !
Wardens were fine and the site very clean and plenty to do in the surrounding area .
Peaceful
Great site for peace & quiet .
Friendly wardens ,very helpful.
Good for dog walking.
Convenient for access to the coast.
If your not bothered about a toilet block and showers then this is the site for you.
Highly recommended.
Tranquil
This is a lovely peaceful, quiet site. Although the weather was horrendous we had a lovely weekend. Did miss having a shower block but was ok for 2 nights.
Fabulous Club Site
Thetford Forest Club Site is a beautiful place to visit, surrounded by the forest, nestled under the trees, visited by an abundance of wild life. A perfect place to unwind, just as long as you don't mind the odd jet plane over-head from Lakenheath! The wardens were very welcoming and the shop provided basics and locally produced meat products. A neat, tidy site, well laid out providing a mix of hard standing and grass pitches and hanging baskets! I will go again - soon.
Fantastic Weekend
Just returned from a lovely sunny weekend at a well maintained site.
The wardens are very friendly and do a great job keeping the site tidy and pretty with hanging baskets and well mown grass etc. There is a choice of hardstanding, grass, sunny open pitches and woody glades.
Plenty of great walks straight from the site in the adjacent woods and plenty of places of interest a short car journey away.
Will definiteley return
Good back to nature site
Very enjoyable stay here for two nights recently. Grounds well maintained and offers a nice variety of grass or hard standing spots. Sarah and Keith made us most welcome. Was very pleased I could bring my two dogs who had many enjoyable walks. Met some nice people from far and near. Site is much improved since I stayed there years ago, yet still has the close to nature appeal. The Desert Rats memorial is at the site turnoff; well worth seeing. Mundford is only two miles and both Watton and Swaffham are less than ten miles away. Swaffham has much to offer to meet your needs and has a thriving Saturday market. Although it rained much of the second day I enjoyed a very refreshing stay and will return again soon.

Wonderful weekend
We have just returned from a lovely weekend at this site. It is so quiet and peaceful, except for the occasional barking of dogs, but to be honest if you come to a site like this what do you expect.
I have given it a 5 for families but there are no playground facilities so not as good for less active families. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed it and will return soon.
Ahhh Peace.........
We stopped off for a couple of days, 8/10th June, the site is very clean, the wardens were very helpful and chatty, clean and well kept water/elsan and dirty water points. Great for walks, peace and quiet, lovely dog walks (not all the mess being picked up tho - shame), only downside I missed the nightjars flying round in the forest! Next to the Desert Rats memorial, nice walk round and plenty of info. The wardens have a lovely hut with loads of info on places in the area to visit, walks etc etc.
Great for nature lovers
This is a great site for nature lovers as it is set in the forest it's self, I was lucky enough to see my first nightjar in an area less than a couple of hundred metres from the van, great. There is a flooded gravel pit nature reserve and arboretum at Lynford Hall just down the road that can be walked to from the site through the woods, which even has a small beach for the kids. The gunfire from the firing range on the other side of the main road is a bit off putting but not a problem. If you like to feed the birds make sure you take a feeder that is squirrel proof or you will be asked to stop, they do not want to attract them to the site as they have caused problems in the past.
rain & sun
Been here any times as its not far from home so is really good for a short break.
Great site and wardens, well kept and lovely when the hanging baskets are on display.
Good for walking and car journeys to local area, Thetford, Brandon etc.
One thing let our short break down, the loud 'know it all' caravanner 3 pitches away! All we could hear was his voice! he didnt shut up all day!! Not pleasant.
Thankfully this wont stop us coming again as we love this sitei
