Peace and quite

This was our first visit to Thetford forest, what a find peace and quite, the Military aircraft are not a problem. The site is kept in immaculate order. Step out of the caravan door and into the forest with its bird life and deer that walk past your window. With a fish and chip van on a Friday night what more do you need. Please don`t spoil this site by building a toilet block

A well earned rest

We have visited the site at Thetford Forest before and it didn't disappoint when we went back there recently for a ten night visit. The site is immaculate and is a true credit to the wardens. Apart from the occasional aircraft noise it is a very tranquil area with good walks. with maps and instructions available from the warden's office for a fee of a few pence. All drivers observed the site speed limit of 5 mph and the children on site were also respectful of the limit when riding their bikes. We visited the Wayland Show which is a traditional agricultural show with tractors and machines (classic and modern), a good display of cows, sheep and pigs, a funfair and fast food and lots of entertainment in the main ring.

Shhhh!

Although we could in no way fault the layout, the cleanliness and the pitch sizes , our stay was a little like treading on egg shells. It was so very quiet, and unless we took our children out into the woods to let off steam, which we did often, we felt there was no area for them to simply be children. Its was all so calm. We are not rowdy people by any means and we love tranquility but we did feel like we had to be on best behaviour. It was great for a few nights to explore the area, but the lack of toilet block would make a longer stay difficult.

A great relax for 4 Nights.

We returned to this site again because of the peace and quite; I know the military aircraft fly around but we don't mind that. The site is great for a peaceful existence but has little to keep the children amused. The site also allows us to visit National Trust and English Heritage buildings. If you are a Whisky drinker the English Whisky Company is a must (but do nominate a driver, as tours and tastings are plentiful). The downside of the site - none; I personally wish that people would keep their speed down especially when there are young children around.

Happy Caravanners

Immaculate site in a huge forest setting. Many long walks. Great for the dogs! In fact, a very 'doggy' site! We were there mid-week in school hols & NO kids! Great for us OAPs. (We love kids really ??) Very historic site as this is where the Desert Rats were pre-Normandy landing. Wardens great, nice & friendly. Tiny little shop, in fact queue outside sometimes, but has most things you might want. Very conveniently placed facilities on site. You will need to drive to nearest shops & supermarkets. (About 7-8 miles away) Nearest pub/restaurant equally as far. Obviously being close to Lakenheath be prepared for low flying jets & helicopters. They seem to avoid normal sleeping hours! Overall a very enjoyable site to which we will return, probably frequently.

Forest on your door step

We stayed here for just one night and enjoyed the forest surroundings, which are easy to access via gates around the site. Not tranquil, as there seemed to be a wood yard sawing timber in the near vacinity during my stay. But once that packed in and went home it was nice. We walked in the woods on well marked trails and saw deer as well as plenty of bird life and fauna. Picked wild raspberries. The site was well cared for and the pitches are generous, with well placed services.

Here again

We come here two or three times a year just to get away and chill out , lovely walks from the site and plenty of cycling . we went on the grass in the wooden areas , but be warned every morning at 7am ( squirrels can tell the time ) they would shake the trees and the cones kept coming down on the caravan roof this would continue for about an hour or so . Pitch 60 ! Wardens were fine and the site very clean and plenty to do in the surrounding area .

This is a lovely peaceful, quiet site. Although the weather was horrendous we had a lovely weekend. Did miss having a shower block but was ok for 2 nights.

Fabulous Club Site

Thetford Forest Club Site is a beautiful place to visit, surrounded by the forest, nestled under the trees, visited by an abundance of wild life. A perfect place to unwind, just as long as you don't mind the odd jet plane over-head from Lakenheath! The wardens were very welcoming and the shop provided basics and locally produced meat products. A neat, tidy site, well laid out providing a mix of hard standing and grass pitches and hanging baskets! I will go again - soon.
