A kind of 'bonsai' campsite -- small but perfectly formed. Only around 12 pitches, all with electric hook-up (included in the price whether you use it or not). A good 1/4 mile off the main road, so no intrusive traffic noise. Farming next door, some bullocks, a bit of tractor activity.
Nice washrooms, and more than adequate for 12 pitches. Entirely separate single shower room, with curious 12-13 minutes of hot shower (electric, so never runs out) at the cost of £1 a go; room is large enough to accommodate two people, so my wife and I both showered for the same money!
We did a bit of cycling, but mostly trips out to local towns because the weather was doubtful; from Thetford you can get the train to Norwich, which is convenient. Very pleasant owners. They freeze your iceblocks for 20p a time.
There is no shop on site at all, so you need to buy all you need before you arrive. No pub within any reasonable walking distance, so eating out is a drive. We went to the Waggon and Horses in Griston, which was good. We would certainly camp here again. Also very affordable at around £15 a night for two people, car and tent.

A lovely little site, with easy access from the A11. We had two nights here and was blessed with great weather (unusual for this year!) and a very pleasant stay. The grass pitches are reached from a gravel track that loops around the site.
It was fairly quiet when we arrived, with just a couple of caravans, two single backpackers and two other motorhomes, so there was plenty of space to choose from. Due to the heat, we went for a spot (with hook-up) in the shade of one of the trees!
The washroom was kept clean at all times, and we felt that the facilities provided were just about right for the size of the site. As a personal preference, we like showers to be included in the price, though we understand owners wanting to give the choice.
If you love the peace and quiet of the countryside, you will love Moat Farm! Highly recommended.

We are first time on this site and love it. Very clean toilet and shower. Nice cut grass. Quiet remote site in beautiful countryside. Friendly welcome.
Very nice little touches like leaflets and noticeboard selling gas or toothbrushes for 40 pence
really lovely and we camt wait coming again. You can also buy fresh eggs here. Thank you for this lovely caravansite. Not far from thetford and dereham.
We went to a cosy pub dog and partridge for a drink in wretham. They also have nice meals. Bressingham steam music is not far.

We stayed 2 nights at this site.
First impressions were excellent. Nobody else was there so we had the pick of the site. Only 1 other couple turned up during the weekend. The grass was immaculate and the whole site clean and very tidy. Our pitch was level and not at all stoney.
The owners were very friendly and made my husband and I, and our dog very welcome.
Facilities were clean and functional. I'm not sure how it would be peak season though as there is only 1 shower. The owner did reassure us that they kept the occupied pitches to a manageable level during busy times.
Recycle bins are provided which is good, but again, I'm not convinced they could cope with a full site as they were quite small.
The surrounding area was lovely. We managed a 10 mile circular walk from the site, into the forest and back. We stopped for lunch at the Dog and Partridge pub in East Wretham. We were given a very warm welcome. Good honest pub food, reasonably priced and lovely local ale.
All in all, this site is a wonderful base from which to explore Thetford Forest and the surrounding area. It has everything you need and is a pleasant and tranquil place to camp.
We would use it again if we are back in the area.

We have just returned from our second visit to Moat Farm and again had a wonderful stay on this well maintained site.
Again the site being operated by Peter and Jane has been improved with the addition of a hot water heater at the wash station for washing your dishes, the site also has WiFi so for those who find it hard to get away from work, facebook and the news can now keep up with everything via your laptop (small charge applies)
The nice level well maintained pitches are large and fantastic for tents as the ground is soft and stone free.
The site is situated in the countryside 5 miles north of Thetford and is close to Thetford Forest, Thetford has a 24 hour Tesco and an Aldi both are on the main road from the site into Thetford. Banham Zoo and Bressingham Gardens and Norwich are just over half an hour away and the Norfolk coast is an hour away.
Peter and Jane always make you feel welcome and are always willing to provide you will information and advise on the local area. As before the facilities are very clean
The site is in a quiet area and apart from a few members of the local wildlife and a few disrespectful campers this was a peaceful place to stay.
We do not recommend this site for anyone who needs to keep loads of kids busy in the evening, in fact I don't recommend it to anyone because I want it to stay nice and quiet for our next visit.

Stayed here for one night in a tent, mainly set up for Caravans but a nice pleasant site was very quiet as it was mid week.
Would definitely stay again, the shower was nice and large and water was hot.
Still cost a pound but that gave me 13 mins shower time.
Toilets nice and clean.
EHU is provided in the price which was handy to charge up my phone.
Close to all the main amenities.
Friendly owners, there is a £2.50 supplement for single people that I had to pay (Don't know why they have that for) but as EHU was in the price I did not mind.
Would stay there again as it quiet with nice surroundings.
Owners comments: The single person supplement is designed so we do not fill all our pitches up with just one person on the pitch, that would be financial suicide or prices would have to rise quite considerably, especially when we do not charge any extra for EHU. There is an option of a backpacker pitch but no EHU or single person supplement but that was not requested or discussed as I remember.
