Off to Norfolk in August, we've looked at Kelling Heath and they have availability and are just up our street, Deers Glade is another I wanted to go to, but they have no spaces when we want to go :( Can you lovely folks recommend any others? We need electric (teenagers) and something for littlies! We don't want anywhere with arcades or club houses if possible, but we don't want to miss a hidden gem if you know of one. Thanks :)

Deers Glade was nice when we went there in 2010 - a long time ago! I gather that they open a camping field in August for tents only, not sure about EHU.

I only live about 30 mins from Kelling Heath and am due to go there soon for a kids weekend. I gather that it costs £10 per adult and £5 per child per day to use the indoor pool and other indoor bits - fine for a weekend but could add up. I think that they said there is a 3 day pass available but I wasn't listening properly because I am only going to be there for 1 whole day, arriving Friday, leaving Sunday.

Sandringham C&CC site always gets good reviews - never been.

Clippesby Hall is another one - Dh went there for one night and said it was fine.

There are a few smaller sites dotted around that allow fires but I haven't been - look at UK campsite and do a search based on distance from where you think you might want to be - also good for reviews.

There is a nice site at Whitlingham Broad, it is actually only about 3/4 mile from Norwich city centre. Plenty of activities to do on site

Manor Farm at East Runton is lovely. No shop or bar but does have a playground.

Been to both Kelling Heath and clippesby both great but different. Kh is huge and does have central bit but also is set in lovely heathland and offers guided walks etc there are playgrounds too. We love it.
Clippesby has less amenities and is more wooded, great mountain bike trail. Again we enjoyed a week there.

Farm [[http://www.breckfarm.co.uk]] is just round the corner from Kelling Heath and a bit more laid back. It's very popular but a big site so you can have a lot of space round your tent. Allows campfires. Should add that I haven't been for a couple of years so might have changed but worth a look.

Waveney river centre on the broads near Beccles is lovely - has a swimming pool and a playground.
