About The Covert Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Tucked into Thetford Forest's Forestry Commission woodland, The Covert offers well-maintained electric hardstanding pitches in tranquil glades where deer wander through at dawn. The peaceful setting and network of woodland trails make it a favourite with dog owners, who also appreciate the thoughtful self-service herb garden and the friendly wardens who keep everything running smoothly. Water collection and waste disposal are conveniently located throughout.

With electric hook-ups across all pitches, plus a motorhome service point and year-round secure storage compound (70 pitches, CCTV-monitored), it's a practical choice for those touring the Broads or exploring Norfolk's quieter corners. The site feels refreshingly calm, though you'll need to head nearby for shops and restaurants—worth the short trip for the woodland seclusion you get in return.

Beautifully located campsite in the gorgeous thetford forest. Surrounded by trees and hundreds of birds, it's a haven. No toilet or shower facilities so this is a motorhome and caravan club location. Kids might get bored here but perfect for adults and especially older ones. Good water collection and waste disposal facilities. We loved it

This is a very quiet site set in the Thetford forrest, it has the usual quality CAMC pitches with ehu, but no washroom facilities so you will need to use your own shower snd loo. Fantastic woodland walks nearby and a memorial to the Desert Rats at the entrance. Be aware there are no CAMC signs until you get to the sctual site entrance we missed the site when we first arrived. Great wardens as usual if it had washrooms it would have got the full 5 stars.
