Whether you’re reconnecting with loved ones, celebrating a special occasion, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we want to make sure you leave with memories to cherish for a lifetime. Here’s everything you need to know about your stay.

It’s all yours! That’s right – whether you’re reuniting with old friends, celebrating a family milestone, keeping your children busy during the long school holidays or throwing a party, you will have exclusive use of the campsite and all its facilities. That gives you total peace of mind that you can enjoy your holiday on your terms – that your children are safe, your laughter can go on long after dark, and that you’re promised uninterrupted fun. Your holiday, your rules!

Pitch your tent, your way. Set up your own tents on our spacious site. We also welcome caravans and motorhomes (we don’t have electric hook-ups, so be sure to charge up before you arrive). It’s the ideal setup for anyone looking for a traditional camping experience with some welcome home comforts, as well as plenty of space to stretch out.

Hot, clean power showers and flushing loos. Speaking of those home comforts, guests love our showers and loos – they’re modern, spotlessly clean and transform your camping experience. It’s like having your own ensuite facilities in the great outdoors!

We are family friendly – and that includes dogs. Children of all ages love the freedom on offer at Riddlesworth Park Campsite. As we’re a working farm and home to horses and sheep, we ask that dogs are kept on leads while on the campsite to keep them and our livestock safe. But the good news for your four-legged friends is that we have our own secure dog park a couple of fields away, as well as miles of beautiful dog walks, so they can enjoy freedom in the wilds of Norfolk too!

The Barn. Rain or shine, The Barn is here to enhance your stay. This cosy, multifunctional space (with power and light) built by Ben entirely from recycled materials from our farm, has spacious outdoor decking leading onto:

• A large, undercover firepit cooking area (with sustainably sourced logs provided) means you can cook outdoors whatever the weather
• A sociable covered dining area seating up to 40 people as well as a sociable bar with space for 6 to sit comfortably
• The snug. Fully enclosed, it has four comfy sofas and a wood burning stove: the ideal place for hours of chatting, reminiscing and catching up with friends or playing family board games. As well as a perfect space to warm up and dry off after a day paddleboarding or having a children vs grown ups water fight, it has also been turned into a disco, an escape room and a spa (thanks to a mobile a luxury home spa service) by our imaginative guests!

Fun, games and den building adventure. There’s plenty to keep guests of all ages entertained during your stay, including: your own French boule piste, giant sandpit, mowed area for games such as rounders or French cricket, woodland play with wooden tractors and den building, swing, Cornhole and fairy village.

Campfire cooking. Someone famous once said “Light a campfire and everyone’s a storyteller” but in fact it’s quite hard to find campsites that allow this wonderful old tradition. We trust our guests (plus we’ve installed our own old-fashioned fire bell!) so you can experience the joys of cooking over wood, sharing campfire stories and all the adventure and life-lessons that building your own fire brings.   

The Pantry: No camping trip is complete without good food! The Pantry is furnished with an American-style fridge freezer, drinks fridge, and plenty of shelving to store your essentials. Wooster’s Bakery bakes traditional and artisan pastries, bread and cakes from their bakery on our farm, selling it at local stores and farm shops, so you can pre-order mouthwatering treats (with no nasties – we highly recommend their croissants, cheddar and jalapeno sourdough and brownies). Garboldisham Village Store is just a 5-minute drive away, selling fresh vegetables, local free-range eggs, fresh local meat, newspapers as well as all the other daily essentials. Tesco’s, Sainsburys and Morrisons will also deliver to the campsite.

The kitchen. Cooking on a camping trip doesn’t have to be a hassle. Our kitchen features two large sinks, hot and cold running water, and a draining area – so you won’t be stuck washing up in tiny bowls. What’s more, the children can have a blast doing the washing up as we don’t mind if our floor gets drenched during a suds-fuelled water fight!

We have our own micro-climate! It’s true! There’s something about the way that land lies at Riddlesworth Park which means it’s often a few degrees warmer at the campsite than in the surrounding fields. It can even be raining at the farmhouse, but sunny at the campsite (which makes for spectacular rainbows!).

A digital detox – unplug and reconnect. One of the most cherished things about Riddlesworth Park is that we offer a true escape from the digital world. Our guests love being able to switch off from screens and reconnect with nature. There’s no Wi-Fi on-site, and we intentionally keep it that way, allowing families to truly unplug. (For emergencies, there is patchy 4G signal, just in case you need it…and our farmhouse is only two fields away).

Your kids can run free! We have two boys (and often many more – we’re that kind of home!) so we know the value of letting them run free, worry free. With five acres of space to explore, your children can run wild in nature. Our woodland play area and outdoor games provide endless entertainment, while you can relax, catch up with friends, finish a book or enjoy an uninterrupted conversation – knowing your kids are having the time of their lives!

Stargazers’ paradise. If you’re visiting from London or any other urban area, prepare to be amazed by our skies. The sunsets are nothing short of breathtaking, but it’s the night skies that truly steal the show. Here, you’ll find a view untouched by light pollution, offering a stunning canvas of stars, constellations, and even the occasional planetary parade. On rare nights, you might even catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis. Whether you’re simply gazing up or stargazing with a sense of wonder, the skies here are something to behold.

Late Sunday checkout. Please always ask if you’d like to extend your holiday for a few precious hours – we will always try to accommodate you if we can.

And if you decide pitching a tent isn’t for you…
