Norfolk caravan holiday parks

Fancy an extended period of peace and quiet? A Norfolk holiday is your answer. England’s easternmost county is an oasis of calm. The crisp countryside affords itself to big skies and dramatic sunsets, with the Norfolk Broads an area that is down in folklore. The county is lucky enough to have nearly 100 miles of coastline to its name too, dotted with charming towns and some real staples of the seaside along the way.

A Norfolk caravan holiday is a delight any one of our four parks. Three are close to the renowned town of Great Yarmouth, in coastal locations that are just waiting for you to sample the salty sea breeze. Wild Duck is our fourth Norfolk holiday park, notable for its position inland. Green forest walks and wonderful woodland await you here. Fancy bringing your dog?

Things to do in Norfolk

Outside of our parks, Norfolk's still got more to offer. For ancient architecture buffs, there are an amazing 659 medieval churches – that's the highest concentration in the world.
