get back to nature with this really special site

We've been here twice now and each time had a really lovely family break. Site is immaculate and the site owners are now than helpful! Situated in the middle of the forest with really easy access for walks with dogs or great terrain for bike walks with out without kids. Loads of places to go to such as Thetford forest go ape but is pricey as car park is£12 and so I recommend Brandon country park which is £2.50 for the day and in my opinion (excluding the go ape section) just as good particularly for young children and is only 10 min from site. Swaffham is a lovely small town to visit with market and I interesting antique and craft shops. There is also lovely pubs to eat at such as the Swan or the windmill.

First time visit

Great Easter weekend (apart from weather on Monday!). Friendly and helpful wardens. Nice and quiet (just what we like) and our Labrador enjoyed his walks! Aim to visit again as just far enough from home but not too much travelling

Back again.....

Just returned from an enjoyable peaceful weekend at Thetford Forest. Helpful wardens, well presented site, level pitches (well 43 was) and the feeling of an oasis from the maddening world. Do not be put of by no toilet block. FYI - easy tow for caravanners and good MWP for Motorhomers. Enjoy........

Thetford Forest

First time in a caravan, the staff were very helpful with advice for the few problems I had which resulted in a very enjoyable stay. Mostly, a very quiet site with a few distant noises in the background, but not disturbing. Extremely nicely laid out and very clean and well maintained.

Lovely weekend.

Spent a lovely, peaceful weekend here at the beginning of the half term. Well organised site with lots of hardstanding pitches but you have to rely on your own facilities as there is no toilet block. Wardens were welcoming and friendly. Nice peaceful site apart from humming noise at night which was only obvious when outside the caravan. Lots to do around the area. We did a few museums in Thetford - particularly enjoyed the Dad's Army museum but the Ancient House Museum and the Charles Burrell museum has some great traction engines. We also visited RSPB Lakenheath Fen which is just a short drive away - good sightings of bearded tits and kingfisher.

Another relaxing weekend break at Thetford.

We have visited this site a number of times in recent years. When we first visited the hard standings were the concrete perimeter road! The site has been beautifully developed over the years with lovely pitches. It is peaceful, relaxing and ideally located to explore this part of Norfolk. We visited for a long weekend this time to try out our new caravan in a relaxed and laid back environment and to visit the nearby National Trust Oxburgh Hall. We'll be back next spring to visit the gardens and grounds in bloom.

Could be the best in the country

Once again we had a fantastic stay at Thetford Forrest Caravan site, or the Covet. We wonder if it may be the best site in the country. Certainly within our top 5. Best pitches we feel are within one of the two "Glades". Circular flat green areas surrounded by tall trees. Its flat, regularly cut, grass collected and yes, you CAN get reasonable TV reception. Plenty of power, close water and very clean toilet and grey water areas. For those who want a hard standing, there are plenty of those also. On the weekend we stayed (end of September) the site was almost empty. Fish and chip van each night between 5 and 6.30. Good pub serving well priced excellent pub food 10 minutes towards Swafham which itself is just 20 minutes away. New people running the site now but just as good as before. Great walks all around the site and of course the Desert Rats area just outside the site. Enjoy !!!

Weekend at Thetford in OCtober

Just back from a weekend at Thetford. A very clean site with very cheerful Wardens. Services are limited, no toilet or wash facilities so need to be prepared to use the vans sites, Wi-fi and Van TV reception was very good. If you use the Three mobile network forget it, no signal for a few miles, which was lovely. Nestled in the Forest there are some nice short walks and you can be on the coast (Hunstanton we went to) in an hour but Kings Lynn half an hour away. Very quiet on this site, except for Apache Helicopters in the afternoon buzzing about for a few hours. Pitches were well spaced but no real space for kids ( which we don't have !) to be kids . Would certainly re-visit but as fairly new Caravanner's haven't found a CC site we wouldn't go back to.

Excellent for peace & walks

This site is located about 1.5 miles from the nearest town (Mundford) but there is a pub less than 300yds in the opposite direction which serves good food. However - the real benefits of this site lie in its peaceful surroundings (set in a forest) where you can walk undisturbed through trees with the sounds of the forest wildlife as a peaceful background. The site is also really well located & maintained and has modern facilities for waste disposal CWD and a Motorhome waste drain. These clean and accessible facilities make up for the lack of on site showers or WC's. Great site for resting up with good company & a good book.

Generally pleasant and relaxing

Lovely site with a choice of well maintained hard or grass pitches. Stayed for 7 nights and it was fairly full every day, lovely tree lined areas, excellent for dog walkers with lovely walks for all. Interesting walk explaining about the "Desert Rats" base which was in the forest. Generally quiet although there were quite a few low flying aircraft and also cannon fire in the distance at around 6.30 - 7am most mornings we were there as there is an army base nearby. Quite a way to local shops and pubs (not walking distance) along a very busy main road. First time on a Club site as we normally stay on CL sites so can't compare with others.
