About The Acre
Tucked into a peaceful meadow just moments from Sea Palling's award-winning beach, The Acre offers proper back-to-basics camping on Norfolk's north coast. Park your car at the top of the field, pitch your tent among the conifers, and settle into a rhythm defined by sand martins overhead and muntjac deer in the surrounding countryside. A short stroll through marram-grass dunes deposits you on a fabulous stretch of sand popular with swimmers, kitesurfers and dog walkers alike.
Facilities are deliberately simple—portable toilets, washing-up area, no electricity—so bring torches and embrace the wild camping vibe. What you lose in creature comforts you gain in tranquility and space: the site's small scale and car-free pitches keep noise to a minimum, while the coastal reefs and expansive beach provide endless entertainment. Good pubs and cafés sit within five minutes' drive when you need refueling, and Norwich is a straightforward 40-minute run if civilization calls.
