About Foragers Rest
This well-placed pop-up site just outside Norwich offers a surprisingly peaceful escape despite its proximity to the city. With a stellar 4.9 rating, it's clearly doing something right: pitches are non-electric grass touring or tent spots, ideal for those who prefer a more back-to-basics stay, and there's car parking by each pitch for convenience. The facilities cover the essentials – showers, toilets, washing-up area, and chemical disposal – while dogs are welcome year-round and barbecues are encouraged.
The real draw is the location. You're within easy reach of Norwich's historic streets and markets, yet surrounded by Norfolk countryside with canoeing, cycling, fishing, and horse riding all nearby. Rallies, student groups, and D of E participants are all welcome, giving the site a relaxed, inclusive vibe. It's a solid, unfussy base for exploring the Broads and beyond.

What visitors say
Absolutely lovely family run "pop up" site. The family are lovely, they really look after the facilities. There are 2 shower/toilet rooms and an additional toilet. There is a portable baby changing facility on site. The kids loved the goats 🐐 and sheep, to be fair so did we. We had an extremely comfortable and relaxed time. Very happy with the price point. Even stayed an Extra night.

A wonderful little laid back campsite. The owners are super lovely, warm, helpful & kind. The toilets & showers were cleaned regularly & immaculate throughout our stay. Nice big rain head showers & plenty of hot water, just what was needed after a day of exploring. The children all had a wonderful time, all playing together or feeding the animals with the owner. My son Evan said it was the best place he's been to, made lots of new friends, made a den & begged to go back ASAP! It was safe for children to play & you could easily watch them. Everyone on site was lovely & sociable & seemed to really enjoy themselves. I must admit, I was slightly hesitant on booking because on pitch up the photos made it looks like someones back garden almost. Not the case at all, plenty of room & roomy pitches for a smaller site. Local Morrisons daily in the village for supplies if needed & a little chip shop. I wouldn't hesitate to book again, excellent value for money. Thank you for a WONDERFUL stay.🏕😊

Very nice camp site, with no tacky "frills". Very friendly owners. strangely I would say they need to increase their charges for camping, as the ridiculously low price seems to attract some disrespectful campers that you may not wish to pitch up with. Fresh home grown produce sold daily and the toilets and showers are so clean you would think they had just been installed. Lovely.

Wonderful campsite. Tranquil, lovely large pitches and great showers. And they sell their own craft beer! What's not to love.
