Thetford Forest Club Site is set in luscious Forestry Commission woodland. Quiet and secluded, the caravan park offers pitching areas in open glades and tempting trails for exploring the natural charms of the surrounding area. Within the forest there is a memorial area and guided trail dedicated to the Desert Rats, who were based and trained here during the Second World War. On-site there is an abundance of wildlife, with deer often spotted in the early mornings. The site is wonderful for dogs, with great walks nearby.
Within a short distance from Thetford Forest Club Site you will discover the market town of Swaffham. Steeped in Georgian history, the town also has a fine Saturday market for some leisurely retail therapy. It is also known for being the birthplace of Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb, and there is an extensive exhibition about him in the local history museum located above the town hall. Both King's Lynn and Norwich have other historical centres of note, and are within easy driving distance of the caravan park. Another excellent day excursion would be the beautiful Norfolk coastline with its many charming villages. High Lodge Forest Park is a great day out for kids and Lynford Hall and Arboretum offer some lovely walks. Plenty of pubs including The Swan in Hilborough, can be reached within a short car ride.

Lovely peaceful site
Thetford Forest Caravan Club Site
We spent two midweek nights here 7 and 8th July. It's a lovely, fairly small, quiet and peaceful rural site. It's not manicured - very natural. The wardens were friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Most of the hardstanding pitches skirt around the perimeter of the site, while most of the grass pitches are inside the perimeter. It's a lovely setting.

Lovely setting.
Thetford Forest Caravan Club Site
Just returned from a five night stay. Had a great pitch for the caravan on the grass….so much easier for pegging out the awning. The setting in the forest is lovely with walks galore. Being near to a main and straight road was heaven for noisy speeders, now and then. Be aware that across that road is a large Danger Area known locally as the Battle Ground. It is in fact a forces training area and we were “ treated” to war games with planes and choppers on three evenings……somewhat noisy at times, so it’s not always peace and quiet on site. Everything was well kept, mown and cared for and service points clean. Handy village store and fish and chip shop in Mundford. Highly recommend Il Salvatore restaurant in Brandon. For gardeners a visit to the water gardens at Gooderstone is well worth doing.
Short break with issues
Thetford Forest Caravan Club Site
The location is very good and quiet. The Hardstanding pitches on the surface look very good, underneath they are solid with very little chance of screwing in steel pegs. Apart from the sight of pegs on several pitches not 100% installed we had a good time with our two dogs.
Here we are again at Thetford Forest
Thetford Forest Caravan Club Site
As the title says, here we are again. This is one of our 'go-to' sites. It has exactly the limited facilities that we need in super quiet surroundings. Brilliant for walks in the forest, it is a little way out of Thetford itself with the Dad's Army Museum, but as we take a car with us it is only a short drive into that attractive town. With 'Browns Kitchen' just down the road if you fancy lunch out this place, for us, ticks all the boxes. The wardens are friendly and helpful as needed, the site is kept very tidy. For us living in Suffolk this makes for a pleasant short break and one which we will be making many more times. Oh, whilst we were there the Euro final was on and if tv is important to you you should be aware that whilst the signal was OK it was not brilliant.
Lovely, peaceful site
Thetford Forest Caravan Club Site
We really enjoyed our time at Thetford Forest, so peaceful but just a little too far from the nearest town for us. We have a motorhome so intended using our bikes or walking (which we did). The site was being managed by temporary wardens who were really friendly and helpful, a lovely couple who were doing a great job. We were treated to some treetop flying from the nearby RAF/US station, Apache helicopters & Osprey aircraft, very impressive. The only reason we probably wouldn't visit again is because there are so many other places in the UK we have yet to visit.
