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.

BEAUTIFUL AREA, NOT AS WELCOMING AS EXPECTED

I visited this site with myself, my husband and daughter in our van, which is only an Avondale 2001 along with my sister and her family in their much newer van for half term. its a beautiful location, of course if you want to go anywhere you do need to drive but if you require peace and quiet, subject to the odd kids riding around who are not causing any issues at all, its a safe place for them to ride their bikes so why not. We had quite a busy weekend camping at another location prior to arrival so things were are bit up in the air, we arrived on site in good time, the lady at reception told me to line the caravan drivers side up with the post which we did, not really taking much notice of the other vans and to be honest not very regular caravanners to the club CL larger sites we continued to make tea for our family, my sister and her husband did the same, they have been visiting sites for a very long time so would normally be the experts at this, but having just moved from a non cl site where we had set up very nicely we had not and we will admit paid much attention, it was a hot day and we just wanted to get everything sorted. it was half way through our dinner we heard raised voices in the road outside, where a very rude marshall had approached my sister - who actually wasn't well at the time and his exact words were ' i am sick and tired of telling you people this' in a very raised voice, he was very angry , very rude and in all honesty there was no need for the way he spoke to her, we had basically not parked our vans exactly in the middle of the pitch and that is what he was reffering to, in my experience, just to approach us as normal people and let us know the issue would have been totally acceptable and would have been much more welcomed, but upsetting my sister which then resulted in my brother in law having to tell the warden that there was absolutley no need to speak in this manner, we apologised for the slight error and had no issues in rectifying, but to be spoken to in that way was just not acceptable. if this is how things are dealt with i would rather not visit this site again, it was a genuine error after a very long day and we had no issues in rectifying this error, but the whole approach was rude, and very unacceptable, especially as my sister was feeling unwell, this left me to question what he meant when he referred to us as 'YOU PEOPLE' and i can only assume this is based on the fact we are under 50 and don't have top of the range caravans. it spoilt the atmosphere before we even began our holiday, a little courtesy goes a long way, its not something i will forget in a hurry, i have never experienced this before, a genuine mistake was made and we had no issue in resolving this but the manner it was dealt with was very very unproffesional.

Great location, not as peaceful as hoped!

We booked here as so many of the reviews commented on peace and quiet. Unfortunately we happened to visit on a bank holiday weekend/half term so there were a lot of children on site who from 8am till 8pm cycled/screamed all around the site, including through our pitch even when we were having a BBQ. Great for the parents to let their children run free, but not great for anyone who happened to be on the racetrack. Despite that there are great walks straight from the site and its well located for exploring lots of nice places. I would visit again though possibly not during school hols!

Thetford paradise

Great local site to us, very well kept by Keith and Sarah and always a joy to visit. Kids having fun playing together, no phones or computers used, or needed, walk in the woods or just being lazy by the caravan. Paradise....
