About Salhouse Broad
Tucked away near Salhouse in the Norfolk Broads, this campsite offers a proper escape with 21 non-electric grass pitches and a dog-friendly camping pod. Campfires are allowed, adding to the back-to-basics appeal, and the site welcomes families and four-legged friends alike. Showers, toilets and drinking water cover the essentials, though there's no WiFi—which many will consider a bonus.
The location puts you within easy reach of the Broads' waterways and woodland trails, making it a solid base for exploring this corner of Norfolk. Some visitors note the facilities can feel a little tired in places, but the peaceful setting and relaxed atmosphere more than compensate for those wanting somewhere genuinely straightforward to pitch up.

Salhouse Broad is one of those hidden treasures that offers the perfect mix of tranquility and natural beauty. We visited on a sunny afternoon and were blown away by how calm and scenic the area is perfect for families, walkers, and anyone looking to unwind away from the busier parts of the Broads. There’s a lovely woodland path leading down to the water, with picnic spots and benches along the way. The broad itself is quiet, with canoes and paddle boards available to hire in the summer months. It’s also accessible by boat if you’re cruising the Broads, and there’s a mooring area with easy access to the shore. Wildlife lovers will appreciate the abundance of birds, and the sunsets here are absolutely stunning if you stay into the evening. It’s not overly commercialized, which adds to the charm. just nature, water, and peace.

Nice though to the broad. Improved parking area with public toilets. Great access to the water. Great place to moor up for the day or over night. No electric hookup but you can top up with water. Sandy beach for easy access to the water. Kayaks available for hire if you want to get out on the water. We've SUP,d here a few time. Water seems clean enough. Just keep an eye out for cruisers and day boats.

A nice broad to go for a walk, with mooring & water boat options, small playground and toilets (when they're open). Very busy on weekends with lots of dog walkers. The parking area is large, but too expensive, at almost £5 for a typical visit. I'd recommend looking at Ranworth or Barton as alternative Broads with free parking and toilets.
