 My husband and I really like this site, we visited on a weekend, it was busy but the pitches are spacious and everyone is friendly.
We have a dog and he really enjoyed the walks in the forest which are accessed via the site so we didn’t have to drive out anywhere.
There are no toilets/showers on site but this isn’t an issue as we have facilities in our unit.
We will definitely stay again.

Fabulous site, set back from the road in the woods. Next to the desert rats memorial walk and tank just before the site entrance. First afternoon myself and the dog went for a walk in the wood and wasn’t long before there was a deer in front of us.
Lovely but mindful after that regards ticks, where there’s deer there’s ticks, thankfully I’ve not found any on the dog while we’ve been here. Easy driving distance to some great places.
Grimes Graves, a prehistoric flint mine, Thetford for the Dads Army and Charles Burrell museums, castle Acre village with the ruined priory and castle, Bury St Edmund’s Cathedral and priory gardens are definitely worth a trip.
No toilet block on site so own sanitation essential. Plenty of water and waste points dotted about. A good choice of hardstanding and grass pitches that seem mostly level. Wardens, what little I’ve had to do with them are very pleasant. One has a particularly impressive lorry body unit parked at the entrance. Would love one of these at home for my son to live in!
There is some noise, loud gunfire starts around 7am, 6 or 7 rounds 2 or 3 times an hour. I assume this is the nearby STANTA army training ground, not very loud crow bangers. The jet fighter planes also fly overhead on weekdays occasionally.
All in all a really good site I would return to if in the area.
One word of warning, the speed bumps on the forestry commission road before the site entrance are really keen and I’m not looking forward to going over them again in the morning when I leave as they caught on my swan neck towball on the way in and have made me cringe going over them all week.

Absolutely beautiful woodland site, the woodland walls are so peaceful and calming.
The site doesn’t have a facilities block not that it bothered us at all, we have everything we need in our caravan.
The speed bumps entering the site are a bit savage but go slow and it shouldn’t be an issue.
Again it was such a peaceful site, ideal location if you like a bit of plane watching as there’s 2 American air bases close by with viewing areas, and a few British bases close by as well.
Highly recommend site

A very pleasant welcome and given all the site information very promptly. Allowed to pick my own pitch and on advising reception, I was given the gate card if I wished to leave during my stay.
The site and facilities, fresh water and chemical waste were kept spotless. There are no toilet or shower facilities which is fine by me as I tend to use my own on most sites.
Walking and cycling through the forest is the reason I use this site and as always, I wasn’t disappointed.

I stayed here for the first time, and it is a lovely site, as close to an adult-only as CAMC would have it for a club site, with no facilities except for fresh water, EHU, CDP and MSP, and no tents.
This rules out a lot of family units, and only one family in a large motorhome stayed for 2 nights during my 6-night trip.
I forgot to bring my Aquaroll and Wastemaster which was annoying on my part. However, the MSP was easy to access with lots of room for manoeuvring, and there is a CDP close by which was very handy.
As with other parts of Thetford Forest, this site is a mobile signal blackhole, with no signal for Three (3). There was EE coverage, however, it was quite weak.
I took out a site Wi-Fi pass for 7 days as a back up, again, it was quite slow.
I could not get any TV reception at all! Definitely a site to get away from it all! Luckily I was able to access my digital newspaper so I had something to read during my stay.
There are a number of lovely walks from the campsite itself around the forest. Bring a compass as one can easily get lost after a few turns!
I came here as it is close to High Lodge in Brandon where I attended an open air concert.
It is also close to a kennel where my dog stayed for part of the trip while I attended the concert and to meet up with friends in the area during my stay.
Thetford, Brandon and Munford are all within easy reach from the campsite for shops and fuel etc.
There is no shop at the campsite, and the staff very friendly and helpful.
Be warned that signage to the campsite is very limited. Look out for the Desert Rat Monument (not very visible at night) which is a replica of a tank and some flag poles - if you drive past them then you have gone too far!
All in all, a nice site despite the lack of facilities, as it is tranquil and very quiet, being away from a main road.

Our first little break in our new caravan.
We were going to be late so I rang the site and the very nice gentleman said don’t you worry just drive safely and get here when you can
No better place to enjoy this, dogs loved the walks in the forest.

Back in Norfolk. Brief stop at this club site. Reasonably priced at £40 with vat reduction for 2 nights with no facilities which suits me. Did not experience the same warden as previous reviews, perhaps he is on holiday with his doggies?
Good check in, good hard standing pitch, good motor home point. Excellent cycling and walking through forest. Oxborough hall about 7 miles cycle ride.
Peaceful during the day and at night. I can't complain at anything with this site. Shame there is not more club sites priced like this one. We would use them more.
We would visit again.

Lovely site and perfectly located. Fantastic for dog walking and generally relaxing. The hard standings don't really work with an awning - better to head to the grass pitches. TV reception is poor unless you are lucky (some pitches almost work!) - satellite works OK at pitches near the entrance where you can get an adequate view of the Astra satellite.
This used to be our favourite site across UK.
BUT the current wardens have spoiled this. They have FOUR yapping dogs that bark and bark and bark every time anybody walks past (which you have to) - the wardens make no effort to control this and the chap is even abusive to those who politely complain. They try to steer people away from Pitch 1 knowing that their dogs will be an issue.
Additionally the warden has a huge HGV cab which can pull the trailer they live in. He parks this in places that encroaches onto pitches, restricting space that should be yours. Despite being 70+ he also likes to play jack the lad and drive the HGV cab around, sounding a very, very lour air horn as he does so - I think he thinks it entertains?
Sadly these wardens have spoiled the site and we shall only be visiting when the site is being managed by the relief wardens, who are lovely. Unfortunately all they hear is complaints about the resident warden.

Quiet site, well back from the main road. Surrounded by trees.
Built on part of the former site of the UK base of the Desert Rats - there is a tank at the entrance to the site by the main road marking the place. Nearby walk with signs showing what the site looked like when used by them.
No toilet block but plentiful places for water etc. Price reflects this.
Only slight downside for us was the slightly patchy mobile phone data service. Nearest bus stop is some distance away.

Our first outing in our new caravan so thought we would go local. Lovely quite site no toilet or showers which was what we wanted for our first outing thinking if we can cope three nights and use only the vans toilet and shower we will be able to cope with most things and we loved it.
Back to the site review it was easy to find and is kept lovely, when we arrive told to find a pitch and let them know what number we picked, we choose a hard standing pitch and when I say hard I mean hard good job I had rock pegs and a lump hammer with me as you I needed them to put my awning up.
This is a lovely laid out site ideal for walking into the forest and spotting the wild life, the downside to the site no bus stop near and a long drive to the nearest village.
