New for 2018 - 70 Secure All Year Storage Pitches at Thetford
Thetford Forest Club site has now opened for 2018 following redevelopment - there's new entry barriers as well as a new reception area. We've also added extra storage pitches, meaning there's now 70 available. The storage compound is secure, gated and CCTV is in operation. Staff are on site all year round, although please note between November and March, 48 hours' notice must be given for access.
A storage pitch costs £350 pro rata for 2018. Please call the site directly to book on 01842 878 356.
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.

Absolutely brilliant staff and beautiful place
This is a lovely place to motorhome/caravan, picturesque, peaceful and very tidy. Great for dog walking and chilling. Facilities clean and adequate, but note there are no showers/toilets, so be prepared to utilise your bathroom facilities in the van. Wardens fantastic, I arrived late and they could not have done more to make me feel welcome. Keith and Sarah were brilliant, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Definately an asset to the Caravan and Motorhome Club, they have absolutely made me a fan of the site, will be visiting again and again. Thank you once again and because the site is now closed sending you all an early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Beautiful walks
I booked for the weekend and didn't read that there were no toilet/shower facilities.
This didn't bother me as I have a loo but I'd love to stay longer in future so a shower block would be great as I don't have facilities.
The site itself is lovely for getting away from it all and just being with nature.
Beautiful pine, oak, birch and others. Hundreds of squirrels and loads of deer and birds.
It was lovely to walk in the forest.
The lady who greeted me was very friendly and helpful
If your kids love playing in the woods and making their own fun then this is perfect.
I'll definitely return.
A really peaceful site.
Stayed here for a short week-end (as Incleboro Fields was full). Warm and friendly greeting with clear instructions given me. A really pleasant and peaceful site with an abundance of wild life.
You must visit the only Desert Rat's museum in the world. It id free, open at somewhat irregular hours and run by a really charming gentleman who does know his stuff. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful site, highly recommended
This was my first visit to this site but it won’t be my last. The welcome received was very warm indeed and the location of the site is wonderful. Me and my dogs enjoyed walks in the forest and were fortunate enough to see Roe Deer during every walk that we took.
The site itself is beautiful, tidy and clean, and so very quiet. Stepping outside the van at night you are treated to absolute silence apart from the occasional call of a night-time animal in the surrounding forest.
Clearly the lack of toilet/shower facilities is a drawback at this site but for a long weekend it really isn’t any real hardship to use your van, although even that may be a challenge for families.
I am very much looking forward to my next stay at Thetford Forest and strongly suspect that it may become a regular haunt for me and my four-legged fiends.
First Visit to this Site
This was our first visit to this site and hope it won't be the last. Very relaxing and peaceful with plenty of wildlife including squirrels and muntjacs, although still easy to get out and about in the area. A very good day out was to Bressingham Steam Museum near Diss well worth a visit as it includes a section on Dad's Army.
