About Whitwell Station Campsite
Tucked away in the Norfolk countryside near Norwich, Whitwell Station Campsite occupies a charming slice of former railway land that still nods to its heritage. The on-site bar and restaurant make self-catering optional, and there's free Wi-Fi if you need to stay connected. You'll find a mix of grass tent pitches, hardstanding options and electric hook-ups on gravel—pitches start around £20 a night—plus proper facilities including hot showers and chemical disposal.
It's a small, family-run spot (11–25 pitches) that welcomes dogs year-round, motorcyclists and even commercial vehicles, so the atmosphere is relaxed and inclusive. Reviewers praise the friendly welcome and peaceful setting, though a few note the site can feel a little tired in places. With fishing, cycling routes and Norwich's medieval streets all close by, it's a straightforward, no-fuss base for exploring north Norfolk without the big-site bustle.

What visitors say
So our friends have been coming here every year for the past 10 years. We finally were around to join them and we had a blast. It is no frills which is what you want from a campsite. Everything is there to keep yourself on the side of civilised with showers, toilets and fridges. The kids had a blast and we also had amazing weather. Loads to do and see in the local area and the beautiful Norfolk countryside for walks (for transparency I was born in Norfolk). Make sure you pack some warm clothes as the nights were cold with the wind. Nearby is the Whitwell steam train museum for drinks, coffee and ice cream as well.

Have been coming here for over 30 years great for the children with the steam and woods to explore, nice to be able to sit under the awning if the weather not to good . The one thing i wish the toilets and shower blocks were revamped been the same for years

Terrible!! Our school went there recently and the place was filthy. The grounds were unkempt. The activities were rubbish. The staff look like they've been dragged off the street. Even our Coach Driver was annoyed that there was no where to park a coach, and more annoyed with the damage caused to his vehicle due to this fact. There are much better activity centres in the area.

I camped there with my school - it was amazing. A beautiful forest and very helpful staff - this is perfect for nature trips. The campsites are huge with reasonably-sized tents, two big shelters and big field for the campers to play in. There is lots of woodland and it is perfect for nature walks. You could have bat walks there as well - you will be able to borrow bat detectors. Even though there is bad points (such as the shower only being on for about a minute then you have to turn it on again, lots of thistles, brambles and sticking nettles etc) Whitwell Hall Country Centre is an excellent place to go and I recommend it.
