Ferrygate Camping and Paddle Hire

Ferrygate Camping and Paddle Hire A peaceful and secluded waterside camping location situated in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Direct river access. Kayak and Canoe Hire. Coffee shack.

And always a warm welcome! With a love and passion for the outdoors and water, Ferrygate Camping invites you to dip your toes and explore the Norfolk Broads and its surrounding areas to your hearts content and at your own pace…

Ferrygate Camping is a traditional site located right next to the water. There are no electric hook-ups and no set pitches but is located in the middle of 9 acres of glori

ous countryside and nature where it’s easy to relax to the sounds of mother nature. Caravans and motorhomes are not permitted sadly although small campervans are allowed (etc, VW or Ford Custom sized converted campers)

After a days’ exploring entertainment by night comes from campfire cooking and toasting marshmallows whilst enjoying the space; and due to this being a low light pollution site stargazing is inevitably breath-taking. The Broads is a water lover’s paradise, with over 120 miles of navigable lock-free waterways, as well as 63 broads which have channels and cuts that can only be reached by Stand-Up Paddle Board, Kayak or Canoe make for a perfect way to explore. For those that prefer land-based adventures there are miles of the stunning sandy beaches, numerous walking trails and cycle routes both on and off-road awaiting hikers and cyclists alike … and all from the site - this really is the best location for waterside living under canvas. The nearest shopping facilities are in Martham which is a quaint village and only a 1 mile walk up quiet lanes. It has a large green with pond, post office, two Co-Op’s, a pet supplies store as well as a couple of good pubs. The beautiful coastal village of Winterton-on-Sea is only a ten-minute drive away and offers not only a majestical sandy beach perfect for taking a dip in, as well as the wondrous Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve, superb pubs and tea-room. Other local sandy beaches include Horsey for Seal Spotting, Sea Palling, Waxham and Happisburg all driveable from the campsite. Across the water from the campsite you can hire day boats meaning access to the best of the Broads is on your doorstep so you needn’t use the car at all.

Just an hours walk or 10 minute drive from us for spectacular views of East Norfolk...

The first date to climb the church tower is Saturday 23 May from 2-4pm (weather permitting), as part of the Church's Open Day.

This year the tower will be open on selected dates only, rather than every weekend. So keep an eye on our socials.

Cost is £3 for adults. Under 15s go free (but must be accompanied by an adult). No under eights are allowed up for safety reasons. Safe footwear is needed. It's a steep climb but you'll enjoy amazing views from the top on a clear day!
