Details checked 28 August 2026 · source: Google Places The Tented Turnip near Wells-next-the-Sea is a family-run farm site for tents and motorhomes with basic facilities, dogs welcome, and close to coastal attractions. ## About The Tented Turnip Here's a tempting North Norfolk escape – The Tented Turnip sits in pretty Cockthorpe village, close enough to the coast's main draws yet peaceful enough to feel properly rural. This family-run pop-up site occupies working farmland with glimpses of the sea, putting you among arable fields and livestock for a genuinely chilled-out atmosphere. Facilities are deliberately simple – portable loos, a shower, chemical disposal and drinking water – which keeps things affordable and low-key. Some visitors note the basic set-up won't suit everyone, but for tent campers and motorhomers happy to embrace that simplicity, it's a cracking base for coastal exploration. Dogs and kids are welcome, barbecues allowed, and pitches accommodate larger tents on non-electric grass. The location shines for walkers and cyclists, with quiet lanes threading through salt marshes and farmland. Blakeney's seal colonies and Wells-next-the-Sea's colourful beach huts are both ten minutes' drive; Holkham's sweeping dunes twenty. Stiffkey village, a mile away, offers a popular pub with beer garden plus an independent café for proper coffee and home-baked treats. ## What's nearby - Natural East next door - French's Fish Shop Ltd next door - Wells Crab House Seafood Restaurant next door Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Can I bring...? ⛺ Tent pitches ✓ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome ✕ No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome ✓ Yes ✨ Glamping available ✕ No 🛖 Lodges & statics ✕ No ## Pitch types - • Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch Pitch details as listed by the booking provider — availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Hook-up ⚡ Electric hook-up ✕ 🔌 EV charging ✕ No electric hook-up listed — worth confirming directly if you're bringing a caravan or motorhome. ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers ✓ 📶 Free WiFi ✕ 🏊 Swimming pool ✕ 🛒 Onsite shop ✕ 🎠 Children's play area ✕ 🍖 BBQs allowed ✕ 🔥 Campfires allowed ✕ 🧺 Laundry ✕ 🎣 Fishing ✕ 🛁 Hot tub ✕ ♿ Accessible facilities ✕ 🅿️ Hardstanding pitches ✕ 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site ✕ Portable toilet Family friendly Motorcycle friendly Barbecues allowed Dogs allowed all year Jumbo tent pitches Peaceful Walkers' paradise Chemical disposal Bar nearby Dog walk nearby Public transport nearby Shop nearby Farm Medium (26-50 pitches) Pop-up campsite ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking — here's what delivers near this site. ### 🥡 Just Eat — 1 takeaway delivers to this postcode (NR23 1QS) Subway Fakenham ★ 4.5 · Sandwiches, Lunch Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Co-op, Wells-next-the-Sea on the doorstep - Morrisons, King's Lynn 7 miles - Lidl, Fakenham 8.4 miles - Tesco, Fakenham 8.7 miles - Aldi, Fakenham 8.8 miles - Sainsbury's, Hunstanton 15 miles Straight-line distances — the drive will be longer.
