What visitors say
We stayed in the camping pod, enough room for two cap beds and a small veranda for enjoying a brew of something stronger in the evening. The pod was dry and clean. The site had 5 portaloos that were clean despite being a busy weekend. The shower block is very small but great, hot water and clean. Didn’t use the little shop next door but useful for coffee and cake. Great location, 39 seconds to the waters edge and about 15 minutes to the local pub.

Lovely location. Park in pay and display cafe park, then a 5 to 10 min walk to the broads. Boat, canoe hire available. The hungry otter serves lovely cakes. The broad itself is busy but a lovely place to paddle with your dog.

Excellent customer service from having to re-arrange the time of a canoe hire booking, last minute, through to the safety briefing before embarking onto the water. Every member of staff was incredibly welcoming and every member of our family really enjoyed our day at Salhouse Broad.

Rented canoes here for a glorious day on the river. Good quality equipment and knowledgeable briefing. All good!
