I took my 2 children to this campsite and wasn't sure what to expect. Simply this campsite is the most peaceful place we've ever been. It can be a bit tricky to find if you're coming from Norwich, but there are sign posts to Reedham Ferry.
The pub isd handy being next to the campsite and you have to check in there before you pitch. We had a non electric pitch and had a lovely spot right at the very back of the site. It's a lot smaller than the website shows and I thought it was great. Great Yarmouth is a 20 minute drive away as is Norwich. You can walk along the banks next to the river into Reedham village, where there's a pub, a few shops and boat rentals.
It wasn't overcrowded as the pub seem to be on top of things and have turned people away while I was there, which says they want to keep is as quaint as it is. I didn't mind the price either at £15 a night for a non electric pitch. My children were able to run about freely and not worry. Though there is a bit pond in the middle of the site no one played around it.
There isn't much to do there, so be aware that if you're after a fully functional site with a clubhouse/bar, children's entertainment then this isn't for you.
Bad points: only that the toilet block could be updated but it was clean. It could use an on site shop too.
Other than that I would thoroughly recommend this site for a relaxing week.
Just returned from 8 day visit. Yes the site was small but it was clean and tidy and most of all quiet. We took our caravan and had a pitch with hook up and water. It was the biggest pitch we have ever had.
The shower block was small but I never had to wait for a shower and the water was always hot. For anyone afraid of crossing water (like me !) we didn't have to use the ferry once.
It was approx 11 miles from Gt. Yarmouth. The Archers pub was lovely, very old world. The staff were very friendly. If you don't mind a bit of travelling to get to places, this is a good site to visit.
I must say, the lack of children running around and kicking footballs pleased me.
Taking a good supply of food is also a good idea. We did eat once at The Archers - very nice. We had no problems with our television with aerial on side of caravan.
We did pre-book as out tent is giant. When we arrived we had to phone the warden who said find somewhere and pitch. So we did in the non electric part. We never did meet the warden, this is a very relaxed site.
The pitches are as big as you want, easy to peg in and level. No road noise, just the sound of wind and wildlife. We took 3 children ages from 8 -13 who enjoyed the site.
The attached pub served nice real ales and the cooked breakfast was very tasty. We found the price reasonable, yes the toilets and showers are old, but was always clean and had hot water.
The first weekend was very busy because of a beer festival, but still didn't have to wait for showers/toilets. Cant think of any real bad points on the site.
You are about 15mins from tesco/asda near Yarmouth or quick shop in the local village 2 mins drive or a lovely 20min walk. This has 2 pubs, we preferred the Lord Nelson as they had live folk singers some nights.
Just got back from Reedham Ferry Touring Park after 3 night/4 day break. We had 1 wonderful summer day, wind of all speeds and directions and rain for hours on end.
This was our second visit and even the weather could not take away how lovely this site is. Toilets & showers could be better but I have certainly seen worse. The shower was very good and always hot. I would certainly not call them filthy.
Even with all the bad weather somehow the floors managed to stay reasonable clean. Full credit to the staff. Love the pub, it's so nice to have a 2 min stroll for a drink at the end of the day.
Only had one meal as it can become a little expensive to eat there daily. Other campers respect your space and there is plenty of room for the car to be beside the tent, caravan etc. ,
Brill walk into the village (you need nice day) shop, fish n chips, pubs dinky little tea shop 'Cup Cake' very nice cream tea !
Not sure there would be enough for children to be on site all day without planning visits to local attractions.
All in all we will be going back again. A perfect chill out break
Just returned from one night stay. Really lovely site in a great spot Probably best for adults due to the pond already mentioned etc. About a mile down the river bank is a nice village with 2 pubs give the first one a miss (smells of dogs and cloudy lager) but the Ship Inn was nice, good pub food and lovely riverside garden.
However we must agree about the facilities. Dirty washing up area, dirty and very old toilets and showers.
Dont agree with the organisation as we don't like things too organised but £15 per night is a bit steep for filthy toilets!
This was our 1st visit to Reedham Ferry / Archers touring park and it won't be the last, the site is well kept, quiet and almost snooker table level,
The pitches are well spaced and the largest we have seen thus far, so large in fact that you have a choice of how you set up, either the traditional 'tail in first' or long ways on, giving you the option to have your awning facing the site,
The site it-self has all the usual amenities toilet/shower block ( new block scheduled to be built September this year), pot washing area, laundry and chemical waste disposal point,
Added to this anglers visiting this site have the option to fish the adjacent river for free or use the well stocked fishing pond on site, the pond could be fished( at the time of our visit) for £5. 00 half day or £7. 50 the full day. As a purely pleasure, fine weather fisherman I had plenty of fun on this pond hitting into some nice mid sized mirror carp, but plenty of sport to be had with the small species too.
Reedhamn Ferry site is also dog friendly and has it's own dog walk, the 'ferryman' pub is also dog friendly as is the 'lord nelson ' in Reedham village, usual guidelines for your pets behaviour on site apply
The television reception was excellent too either with a directional antenna or sat' dish
If it's food and drink your after then this site is for you, the pub at the site entrance the 'ferryman', doe's a large range of pub meals at reasonable prices and they don't scrimp on the portions either. They offer a selection of local real ale's as well as the more traditional wines, beers and spirits, as the pub is right on the river bank, you can eat and drink next to the water as you watch the canal cruisers go by.
Alternatively take the scenic river side walk (approx 20 mins), as we did several times, into Reedham village it's self where you'll find 'the lord nelson' and 'the ship' pubs both serving good priced food and drinks and both worth the walk as they are as different to each other as chalk and cheese.
Whilst in Reedham you'll also find the post office, fish & chip shop as well as a small general store.
A short 10 minute walk from the site is Reedham train station, where you can get to places such as Cromer ( a really lovely little sea side town well worth a visit), in just over an hour, or the historic city of Norwich (approx 20min train ride) with it's cosmopolitan bars, cafes and restaurants as well as it's historic castle and open air market.
Great Yarmouth itself is only a short trip by train away too (approx 15 min).
As our own kids have all grown up and flown the nest, I can't comment on how child friendly the site is and to be honest, we didn't see any kids on the site during our week long stay.
In short Reedham Ferry is a well run, well situated site, that is firmly at the top of our favourites list and one we will be visiting again
A slow and relaxing lifestyle awaits you in Norfolk.
We stayed at the Archers Touring Park in Reedham in our tent with 3 Labradors.
Nothing was a problem on site. In fact this site is so relaxed it really is disappointing when you leave for home, although to find someone on site is a bit of a challenge sometimes.
We were amazed with the maintenance staff who do an amazing job but were very friendly and helpful to us – the man in the grass cutting machine (apologies don’t know your name), Simon, his partner and the young lad who maintains the shower block etc.
We did not eat at the Reedham Ferry this time we thought it was a bit expensive and the choice was not as good as we’d experienced in previous years e.g. before we could get salmon in peppercorn and brandy sauce which we would have paid for as thought this was a bit special.
Whilst we were there the toilets did become a bit disappointing but the site was hosting 2 very large groups of young people and did suddenly become incredibly busy.
The Archers is a very picturesque site from which you can spot a lot with binoculars e. G. Herons, Deer, Swans with Cygnets, Bulls, Cows and we did even see a snake on one of our walks from Reedham to Cantley.
From the Archers you can walk into Reedham and visit the Lord Nelson and the Ship we liked both of these.
Reedham Ferry Archers has a freezer for use but we were there off peak and it was just about full really.
It also has a washer and a drier for use at a fair price, so take some surf etc. And lenor if you think you might need this.
The Reedham Ferry Inn also has a shower for use by boaters – if the loos were being cleaned we just used the shower in the pub which my wife liked better than the one on the camp site because it was low and did not drench her hair as much hence less need for drying and straightening!
Adnams Broadside was an ale we enjoyed here.
The thing worth mentioning is that all the pubs we visited on most days closed at 3 pm and reopened at 5 or 6 and did not do food all day so this is worth checking out in advance to avoid disappointment.
Yes the facilities could do with an update but we understand that this is in hand.
Quite a nice small site, but as previous reviewers have said a bit disorganised with regard to where to put your caravan and car. It's right next to the ferry so quite quaint to watch and walk along the canal bank. But in the toilet and shower block water was cold and everything got soaked. There are only two toilets and showers for men and the same for woman. They really do want urgently updating!
It's a bit of a trek to Norwich city so I wouldn't use it as a base to visit Norwich.
We found this site had good points - fees were reasonable, area was peaceful and pretty, showers were very hot and our pitch was massive!
Yes, some of the pitches are smaller (especially if you want to be near the toilet)and the toilets aren't that clean (but I've seen worse.
There is nowhere for kids to kick a ball about safely but a swingball, snail racing and taking the bikes kept the kids occupied.
We would go back - in fact we tried to get in for the bank holiday - but be aware people were limiting their stay to the Yarmouth side of the river as the ferry costs do add up. You can get to Beccles etc on the other side but this involves a long ride round. We were told that the campsite and ferry were owned by the same people so they are onto a good thing!
This is a small-ish, picturesque grass site, located about 1 mile from the village of Reedham. The site is located immediately beside the chain ferry across the river and beside a pub / restaurant. The reception was very friendly, helpful and informal.
The site is laid-out around a small pond with trees for dappled shade with lovely views across the adjacent countryside. Note, if you have small children, that there is no fence around the pond.
The toilet block is small and tired and the shower cubicles are very small. Dish-washing, a freezer and laundry facilities are supplied. Reliable TV reception was difficult to obtain with our Avtex mobile aerial.
The pub ('The Archers') was friendly and the choice of local beers was good. We didn't try the food.
There's a great walk along the river embankment to the village of Reedham, where there are a couple of small shops, a great tea-shop ('Cupcakes'), which we recommend, and two pubs, both beside the river. 'The Ship' has a marvellous garden and a warm welcome.
The local station connects to Gt Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Norwich.
Just come back from a 5 day stay at this site. A lovely site, very flat and nicely laid out. We were right next to the little lake in the centre of the park. This was lovely, and whilst loads of children were playing around it, parents should be aware that this lake is not fenced off.
The facilities were fine, although one niggle was that the toilets / showers were hosed out regularly, but never dried afterwards, meaning the floors were wet all of the time, even on hot sunny days, I dread to think the state it gets in on rainy days.
The pub next door was lovely- loved the cider! The food was also nice, and the seating area right next to the river was great to sit and watch the world go by.
On the whole, a nice site, good base for exploring that I would definitely revisit.
First word of warning is to check your details on your satnav! We followed ours and ended up the other side of the broads, having to spend an extra £6 to travel across by the car ferry! According to the ferryman he makes a roaring trade!
Now to the site - having spent three, rather disappointing nights at this site, I thought it best to post an up-dated review. Firstly, the site is not spacious, indeed there was nowhere for the children to kick a ball around or even play. The caravans, tents and cars are so close together that we struggled to manoeuvre our car in and out of our spot.
There doesn't seem to be any rules about how you place your van / car / caravan / tent, so consequently there seemed to be vehicles everywhere - not good when there are children trying to kick balls in such tiny areas, our car was hit several times.
Secondly the toilet and shower block leave an awful lot to be desired. Although my son was lucky enough to get one hot shower by visitng the block at teatime, the rest of us wanting a shower in the morning or evening had to put up with freezing cold water. There were many people, especially ones with young children complaining about this. The flooring in the unit was tiled, and as there was constant water on the floor it was lethal, not to mention very muddy.
For the three days we were there the sinks were not cleaned, there was the same hair clips, hair and soap scum over the sinks from the time we got there to the time we left. The bins were overflowing, as was the recycling area - a haven for wasps come the summer.
Our other concern was the deep pond area in the middle of the site with absolutely no fencing surrounding it, rather a worry if you want a safe area for your children to charge around.
On a positive note, the owner, whom we only saw once seemed pleasant, the surrounding area was very pretty, if you have children Bewilderwood is well worth a visit, you are only half an hour away from Norwich and Great Yarmouth so we did spend the majority of our time away from the site.
The site is a little different from the pictures on the web site where it shows a river next to the pitches there is a large grassed flood bank.
The toilet/shower block is too small for the site and is in needs updating badly and cleaning at a better time than 8.30 in the morning when everyone needs the showers or toilets they close them for over half an hour.
We found the pub expensive £8.50 for a Sunday dinner (roast beef or chicken)£9.95 for fish and chips. If do go to this site remember to bring your food supplies before you go as there is no shops with in walking distance.
We will not be going back unless they update the toilet / shower block they spoilt the site and got a warden for the site to greet you when you pull on site.
We spent one night here. A fairly small campsite but very well kept. Didn't use any of the facilities so cannot comment on them. The pub next door was very good. The footpath was still closed which was a shame, and could be for some time. We were told it was okay to go through the gate at the back of the site for a walk, which we did, but beware there are cattle in the surrounding fields, although they were properly fenced off. The village was a short 5 minute walk. A very nice site but nowhere to let dog run free so we probably won't return. There was a lot of deep water surrounding the site which was properly fenced off and plenty of signage around. There was some confusion who to pay our site fee to so we paid in the pub, which they were happy to do.
