Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Sally lou 2 reviews from this member

 Absolutely idyllic site. Set on the banks of the bustling Broads.
Lovely space around pitches and own duck pond! What more could you ask for?.
Toilet block very old fashioned, which is not really a problem, but there is no excuse for them being not clean. Loose toilet seats, so much so that my 4 year old ended up on the floor. Hand towel ( big blue roller type dispenser ) was all pulled out over the floor when we arrived and was still exactly the same when we left 4 days later. The showers are up 2 steps onto a duckboard, the shower head is fixed in the ceiling, very dark and very grim. They were closed for cleaning each morning, and there was truly no before and after! No difference whatsoever!

Such a shame, because the site is fab and would be fully booked I am sure constantly if only the toilet blocks were clean.
There are facilities in the next door pub for boaters, and these are more modern and much cleaner. We will return because we love the area so much, and the site is lovely, we will just use the pub facilities in future, which is an excellent excuse for a pint.

 A lovely, small site right next to the chain ferry. Facilities are basic but clean and there are enough of them. It is worth using the free pub showers as they are bigger and more modern. It is in a lovely location. No play area for the children but there is plenty of space to run around. The Reedham ferry inn is a great pub. We had our dog with us and we had to walk about 5 minutes to the river footpath to let him off, which was fine, he was also allowed in the pub. Reedham itself is interesting, there is a revolving railway bridge to let the boats through. You can pitch your tent where you like- no strict pitches, which we liked.

Reviewer: Toyah-girl 1 review from this member

 Came across this campsite whilst touring around the area.  It was marked on the map we were using and then signposted from the road from Acle.
Phoned the warden then just pitched up. Warden collected money at about 10am the following morning.  We did think it was quite expensive, but it had fairly good facilities: 3 toilets and 2 showers per sex, 2 washing up sinks, freezer (good for ice packs), washing machine and dryer. 
We liked the fact that we could choose where to pitch our tent in the non-hook-up area of the campsite.  Even though it was mid-August, there was plenty of room and loads of space between tents.  It was lovely and quiet and the ducks and ducklings were a pleasure to watch plopping into the pond in the middle of the site.  There are lovely water-way walks too.  The area isn't at all commercialised so was ideal for a quiet retreat.
Mr Archer owns the campsite, pub and ferry.  He's making a mint on the ferry(!) and could do with keeping the campsite facilities clean and spider-free but the pub was good for local ales and food.
I would definitely recommend this site to people who just want to have some peace and quiet.

Reviewer: Harrymail 2 reviews from this member

 Had a great week at the Reedham Ferry though would agree that the toilet facilities could do with an upgrade. But that said I would go back as the site is otherwise excellent. Very quite and well laid out. Some pitches are a bit tight when the site is full, but in the main there is plenty of space.

No reception, but the warden can be contacted by phone and is usually only round the corner either at the ferry or the pub, which owns the site. Its a very friendly place and you immediately feel very much at ease and start to unwind. The pub is very popular with both campers and boaters and booking for meals is advisable. The village a mile away has three more pubs , a chippy and a local store . It is a pleasant walk on the river ban into the village.

The site is screened by large trees which is good for keeping cool , but not so good if you want to sit in the sun. Plenty to see and do in the area or just relax by the river.

A very pleasant site which I will certainly be going back to.

 This is a lovely quiet site that I really like and have visited twice. My last visit was with my brother and his family and they too enjoyed the setting.

There are two brick built BB Q's at the end of the non-serviced pitches which are a nice touch.

The pub next door is very nice although I did not use it on this occasion.

The toilets and showers are cramped and I found the showers to be not very clean. However the water was always piping hot.There is a campaign to upgrade them which would be the icing on the cake.

The washing up facilities are good and there is a freezer for ice-packs. Another nice touch.

Overall a very good site that I will visit time and time again.

Reviewer: Joy buckley 6 reviews from this member

 A lovely quiet site situated next to the peaceful broads.  Facilities were very clean and the staff were friendly.  A good base for sightseeing Norfolk
 
Pitches were excellent and large with electric hook up next to tent.  The pub/restaurant next door was lovely.
 
Point to note there is no reception, just a board outside site that tells you where your pitch is.  Just pull up and pitch, someone comes round to check you are ok.  You can order a paper to be delivered every morning, just look out for the fellow and his moped.
 
A site I will definitely use again when I want some peace and quiet.  We enjoyed the smallness of the site.

Reviewer: Ezza 2 reviews from this member

 This was a lovely campsite - very peaceful and relaxing. the showers were excellent - very clean and lovely and hot. The pub serves wonderful food and the staff are friendly. The only quibble I have is that the owner came over in the morning to get the money from us which felt a little bit intrusive - we would rather have paid on arrival or at the end. Apart from that it's great and the ducks are very friendly and so cute!

 Just spent Easter weekend at this campsite. Great site in a wonderful place. OK facilities, could be improved upon but I sometimes wonder what people want? The facilities were clean and adequate for the weekend we were there, can't vouch for busier times. This is a lovely rural site without the regimented running and housing estate look of a Caravan and Camping Club site, the pub is a proper pub with great beer and excellent food, would I go there again.... too darned right I would.

 September 2005
A nice site, but overpriced for the facilities available. The washrooms have 2 sinks, 2 showers and 2 WC's which are inadeaquate for size of the site. They need to have a squeegy or mop to cope with the wet muddy floor so users can clean up after themselves.

The warden was straight at you for payment, we even watched him knocking overnight arrivals up for fees.

It's saving grace is the pub. If you aren't fussed by waiting and being crammed in that is. I booked 5 days in advance and was disapointed by being chucked in a corner and forgotten about. The food was excellent.

I would say it is a pleasant site but you could do better.

I have stayed at similar sites to Reedham Ferry which WERE worth the price, as the limited facilities were attended regulary to keep to high standard.

This is a beautifully kept rural campsite set at the side of the River Yare within the Norfolk Broads. We pre-booked pitches via the telephone with a very friendly man and upon our arrival a welcome board had our names on it and directed us to our allotted area.

The camping area was clean, tidy and well-maintained with water taps, a large communal bbq area and a couple of picnic tables. we were allowed to pitch where we liked and although an August weekend, we weren't tripping over other campers and had plenty of space.

The icing on the cake was a fantastic pub - adjacent to the site - offering great views of the river AND the small river ferry (for those coming from south of the water), great meals and a cosy pub atmosphere.

The site also has a sloping ramp into the river so it was ideal for those campers who enjoy canoeing and the like.

The toilet and shower block was basic and quite small but with excellent hot water... although it was a bit of a trek from the camping pitches.

That small gripe aside, this place is a gem and thoroughly recommended if you enjoy peace and quiet, riverside walks and top class pubs. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

In a picturesque location and the grounds are nicely maintained with an interesting duck pond for the children and inquisitive mallards visitng around breafast time for tit bits. Also adding to the dawn chorus! Good walks available alomg the river bank.
However, toilet/washing facilities are minimal consisting - in the Mens - of 2 wc's, 2 urinals, 2 washbasins (no shelves or hooks ) and 2 showers. No sign of the promised new replacement facilities.

Must disagree somewhat with previous comments. Fairly recently returned from this park, whilst a nice site in a nice location, I honestly can't say that it's the best one I've visited.

We were camping and it seems to to me a back to front idea to put the tents who definitely need toilets / showers etc farthest away from these facilities. Talking of which, I wasn't very impressed with the standard of the toilets /showers at all. OK it was very muddy (the weather was atrocious), but the floors of the block were constantly dirty and swimming in water. The mud I can excuse to a certain extent (although a mat outside would have helped), but why did the floor have to be constantly covered in water. I had a shower the first day, but the condiitions really put me off and I didn't bother on the 2nd day we were there.

The food at the pub, was also distinctly average and whilst I don't mind a reasonable wait virtually an hour is pushing things a bit and the choice was very limited too.

The ferry price at £3.40 is also a bit steep, but coming from were we live, we couldn't avoid it except by making a very large detour.

All in all, whilst I enjoyed the weekend, this will probably not be a site that I would return too.

An excelent site. Well run and no problems. we had two 2 year olds, a 3 year and a 5 year old and the water was no problem. The fishing lake is a field away and the river isn't on site. If you have a boat, take it, the slipway is free. The only down side was the toilets, but we where told they are building new ones this winter. Will be using this site again

Recommended by friends, but we didn't believe them when they said how good this place was. They weren't kidding!
Right beside the river where the ferry crosses (max, 4 cars), behind the pub. Nice landscaping, clean toilets & showers. Peace and quiet, right in the middle of the Broads. Good for walking & cycling (leave the car on site and take the 15 minute walk to the station), close-ish to Norwich / Great Yarmouth.
Great meals at the pub (reasonable prices too!).
If you're touring the Broads / East Anglia, this is a pleasant stop-over

A nicely maintained, small site. If you book in advance your pitch is reserved by name with a little board. There is a lot of water around, with the river on one side, a pond in the middle and a ditch at the back, so a little worrying for parents of small children. Lovely clean facilities, good hot powerful showers. A good base for exploring the broads. Pub at the entrance with tables overlooking the river, lovely in the evenings. All in all a very nice site.
