The Park
Old Brick Kilns Caravan & Camping Park North Norfolk (Open mid-March to 2nd January) is just 8 miles from the sea.
Set on three levels, the park covers some 13 acres with 60 spacious all weather semi-hard standing pitches for your caravan, tent, trailer tent or motorcaravan. We have a further 5 premier pitches with full services on a section of the park called Heydon’s meadow, which is a Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location. There are also several hardstanding drive-on pitches suitable for motorhomes and an adults only field.
The Park, which has a tranquil rural atmosphere, is mostly sheltered, divided into woody pockets and open areas. It features a delightful wildlife pond, landscaped garden areas and natural wildflower bankings. We are one of only 2 Best of British Parks in Norfolk.
ACCESS: We insist on strict arrival and departure times due to the narrow approach road. NO EARLY ARRIVALS ACCEPTED. Arrivals accepted between 1.30pm – 6pm; Departure before 11am (all vehicles).
We have an Adults Only Area and Caravan Storage facilities – please call us for details.
We are very conscious of promoting responsible recycling and need your help.
PLEASE dispose of your waste carefully. We know it’s easier to use one bin/bag for all waste while you’re on holiday, but it’s not good for the environment. Our bins are all clearly marked so please dispose of your waste accordingly.
You may not be aware that we have our own bored water on-site that is fully tested and certified. This means that our water is fresh & clean to drink. PLEASE refill your water bottles from our taps, don’t buy new; we must make single use plastic a thing of the past. And don’t forget to REMOVE THE LID from the bottle if you do dispose of it in our recycling bins, as this allows us to crush the plastic and therefore reduce the volume of waste, saving fuel from reduced collections.
Premier Pitches on Heydon’s Meadow – Caravan and Motorhome Club Members Only
At the top of Heydon’s Meadow, you’ll find our Caravan and Motorhome Club certified luxury site, for members only.
Our Premier pitches on Heydon’s Meadow comprise 5 hard-standing pitches with fresh & waste water, electric and TV hook-ups. Each pitch is divided by gardens and beech hedging and has a picnic bench, perfect for those seeking a little more privacy.
This area also has luxury washrooms with underfloor heating. The washrooms accommodate showers, toilets and washbasins as well as hand and hair dryers.
Site Plan
The Camping Meadow
The camping meadow is on an undulating field, has grass pitches with electric hook-up (except for three) and is accessible by car and a gently sloping walkway. It is suitable for wheelchairs and is directly opposite Barney’s Bar (the main building).
Wildlife
We are very proud of our David Bellamy “Gold Conservation”, “Honey-Bee Friendly Park”, “Wildflower” & “Hedgerow” Awards; on a recent inspection by one of its assessors, the park was referred to as a “bird-watchers paradise”. A new bird hide was constructed in 2014 on the edge of the conservation area of the park, using sustainable larch. It measures 2.2 x 3.6m with rainwater channelled off the roof to feed a small wildlife pond, which in the spring is full of tadpoles and newts. The hide contains information on all the birds that can be seen here such as tree creepers, barn and tawny owls, as well as the regulars to the bird table, which include woodpeckers, green finches, gold finches and more. We’ve even had a kingfisher and tern spotted on the fishing pond!
Two owl boxes were put up in trees bordering the park, with great success. We have had nesting Tawny Owls, whose chicks were ringed by a registered BTO volunteer from the local Hawk and Owl Trust in Sculthorpe. We now have over 45 bird boxes of different types, situated around the site and a family of swallows nests annually above the door of our information centre!
