Old Buckenham Country Park is located in 35 acres of beautiful countryside in the heart of Norfolk. The site sits in tranquil parkland with beautiful views all around. At its heart are two natural lakes, home to a wide variety of wildlife including dragonflies, frogs and our resident mute swans.
Surrounding our lakes are hundreds of mature trees and hedgerows, with many footpaths to explore. We take great pride in what we are attempting to achieve at Old Buckenham Country Park and have planted hundreds of trees, hedges and flowers and the site has been extensively landscaped.
It is a haven for wildlife. The lakes fill with frog spawn in the spring and attract herons and swans. The site is also home to owls, free range hens, a truffle pig, two goats and ducks.
Some of our pitches feature an electrical hook-up that is included in the price. Each pitch offers lots of space for both parking and an awning. The cost of a pre-booked pitch starts at £20 for wild camping. We welcome groups of families and well-behaved family dogs as long as they are kept on a lead.
From our lovely decked area you will be able to watch the wildfowl gliding across the lake and you may even be lucky enough to see the deer which visit the park in the evening and early morning.
Fresh water and chemical toilet points are close by in a newly built covered area. We have a licenced café where you can enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat or a gin! We also host on-site fitness classes during the main season and an obstacle course around the park (pre-booking essential).
Whether you are looking for a central location to explore Norfolk for the first time or you are a regular visitor looking for a relaxing weekend, Old Buckenham Country Park is an idyllic location, situated on the outskirts of the beautiful Norfolk village of Old Buckenham, which has one of the largest village greens in England, on the perimeter of which are houses dating back to the 16th century.
Come and join us on our stunning site - we are confident that all the family will love it as much as we do!
We look forward to meeting you soon!
