Fantastic & relaxing site

Just back from 4 nights at one of our favourite sites. All good, as usual. Points to beware of - hard standings are very stand - expect to struggle putting an awning up. It can be done but it's hard work on most of the hard standings. Take strong pegs and a big hammer! The wardens 4 Yorkshire terriers are under better control, with just one rogue dog. But otherwise it's a fantastic site that always pleases. We always meet nice people here too - it's all very private and quiet - but friendly.

Tiny corner of heaven

Stayed here on several occasions now and every time it's been so peaceful even with the military activities going on. Our dogs love it asch as we do. The only thing that spoiled out last trip was that someone went out for the evening an left their dog alone in the caravan to howl and bark for for 5 hours. Hopefully the club will pick this review up and amend the policy to stop this from happening. I love dogs but this was naughty and not fair.

Hidden gem

Gorgeous setting in the middle of the trees in Thetford Forest. Very peaceful and loved our stay. Staff were friendly. There were lots of great walks from the site, including the Desert Rats trail. Great idea that the chemical waste is situated a few Paces away from the waste and drinking water point. It was a last minute decision to visit and one that are very pleased with - highly recommended!

Time to slow down

A quiet (if you don’t mind the odd military jet during the week),secluded site that just forces you to slow down. The grass pitches are not always level, but do give you the feeling you are on a much smaller site. There are so many walks you can do directly from your caravan. Lyndford Arboretum is a must. Although dogs are not allowed in the actual arboretum there are some beautiful walks around the outskirts. Wetton has a great market, if you need to top up on fruit or veg it has the biggest stall I have ever seen at a local market.

Lovely stay in the forest

Thetford Forest - Norfolk ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ *Woodland site which is very peaceful, with lots of birdsong. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ *80 pitches in total, good mix of hard standing and grass. ⁣⁣ *Site is well kept and tidy, with a natural feel about it. ⁣⁣ *Friendly welcome upon arrival. *Great walks direct from the site into the forest.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Points to note:⁣⁣⁣⁣ *This site has NO toilet/shower block. We knew this at the time of booking. However, has the usual service points. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ *Wifi/phone signal with Three not great! ⁣⁣ *No shops/pubs in waking distance, so come well stocked. *Wardens kept themselves to themselves........not as friendly and chatty as other wardens we have met.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ These smaller sites with no facilities are becoming a fav of ours 😊🚐😊

Lovely peaceful site

We spent two midweek nights here 7 and 8th July. It's a lovely, fairly small, quiet and peaceful rural site. It's not manicured - very natural. The wardens were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Most of the hardstanding pitches skirt around the perimeter of the site, while most of the grass pitches are inside the perimeter. It's a lovely setting.

Lovely setting.

Just returned from a five night stay. Had a great pitch for the caravan on the grass….so much easier for pegging out the awning. The setting in the forest is lovely with walks galore. Being near to a main and straight road was heaven for noisy speeders, now and then. Be aware that across that road is a large Danger Area known locally as the Battle Ground. It is in fact a forces training area and we were “ treated” to war games with planes and choppers on three evenings……somewhat noisy at times, so it’s not always peace and quiet on site. Everything was well kept, mown and cared for and service points clean. Handy village store and fish and chip shop in Mundford. Highly recommend Il Salvatore restaurant in Brandon. For gardeners a visit to the water gardens at Gooderstone is well worth doing.

Short break with issues

The location is very good and quiet. The Hardstanding pitches on the surface look very good, underneath they are solid with very little chance of screwing in steel pegs. Apart from the sight of pegs on several pitches not 100% installed we had a good time with our two dogs.

Here we are again at Thetford Forest

As the title says, here we are again. This is one of our 'go-to' sites. It has exactly the limited facilities that we need in super quiet surroundings. Brilliant for walks in the forest, it is a little way out of Thetford itself with the Dad's Army Museum, but as we take a car with us it is only a short drive into that attractive town. With 'Browns Kitchen' just down the road if you fancy lunch out this place, for us, ticks all the boxes. The wardens are friendly and helpful as needed, the site is kept very tidy. For us living in Suffolk this makes for a pleasant short break and one which we will be making many more times. Oh, whilst we were there the Euro final was on and if tv is important to you you should be aware that whilst the signal was OK it was not brilliant.

Lovely, peaceful site

We really enjoyed our time at Thetford Forest, so peaceful but just a little too far from the nearest town for us. We have a motorhome so intended using our bikes or walking (which we did). The site was being managed by temporary wardens who were really friendly and helpful, a lovely couple who were doing a great job. We were treated to some treetop flying from the nearby RAF/US station, Apache helicopters & Osprey aircraft, very impressive. The only reason we probably wouldn't visit again is because there are so many other places in the UK we have yet to visit.
