Staying Here

The Site

Oak Lodge Glamping is situated in the Breckland area of Norfolk, close to the towns of Thetford and Swaffham. 

Breckland has one of the most distinctive landscapes in the UK and is known for its warm and sunny micro-climate. 

The campsite itself is 10 acres and away from a busy main road. It’s the perfect place for adults to relax and unwind, for kids to explore and run around, for pets to enjoy.

We are an eco friendly site and try to keep our impact down.

 

Accommodation Bell Tents

Our bell tents are pitched on the grassy meadows surrounded by ancient oaks and beech trees, on level ground.

Each tent comes with its own camping table, fire pit and BBQ. There will be a small pile of complimentary logs to get you started on your first night. Additional firewood and charcoal for the BBQ is available to purchase on site. 

Tents are fully furnished and include a duvet, 2 pillows and a blanket on each bed. We hope for good weather but it may still be a little cool at night. If you require extra blankets just ask.

We have nine 6 metre tents available, each sleeping up to 6 people. We have both double and single mattresses and can configure the tent to suit your requirements.

You will also be provided with table furnishings, fairy lights, fake (for safety reasons) candles to provide ambience and a mains lamp powered by the battery invertor. This supplies low level power to the tents and for devices to be able to be charged.

 

Our Animals

There are a variety of animals on site that you can visit and help to feed during the daily Animal Hour starting at 10am – there are three horses, three pigs, two pygmy goats, ducks, a variety of friendly chickens, a tortoise and even a snake!

 

The Facilities

We provide a communal kitchen (inside one of our steel caravans) and luxury shower / toilet unit.

We do supply low voltage mains power ample for light and charging devices but we encourage our glampers to enjoy the simple pleasures of campfires and outdoor lights.

What our customers say about us

We stayed as a group of 20 family members for my mum’s 70th birthday from 26-29 August. We had a brilliant time and the hosts were so welcoming and friendly, regularly checking that we had everything we needed and arranging lovely thoughtful surprises. The daily animal experiences were such a hit with all of the kids as was the plane in the tree!! Everything was thought of and we had a lovely, relaxing stay in a really unique, beautiful setting. Thanks Maeve & family!

We loved our stay at the Oak Lodge Glamping site. There are lots to do with the kids, very unique playing areas. Natural woodlands for them to roam around in, which is such a change from our busy London life. Clean tents and toilet/shower areas, lovely outdoor cooking area as well welcoming people on site. The feeding animal hour in the morning was an extra bonus and kids enjoyed alot! Will come back again!

Best camping holiday we've ever had! Every detail of the campsite made our trip so magical - from the aeroplane in the tree and pirate ship to the marshmallows and decorations in the tent. It's hard to pick a highlight, but we all absolutely adored Animal Hour at 10am every day - it was extremely special to meet all the animals, and the hosts' family was so patient and kind with all of us and the other guests. It was a real testament to the friendliness of the family and business... The tent was fantastic - very well kitted out, excellent bbq and camp fire...Thank you Oak Lodge!!

We had a lovely night stay at Oaklodge glamping. The hosts were lovely and accommodating of our party of 8! The amenities were unique and fun (a kitchen in a old school caravan!). The tents were spacious and comfortable. We were well looked after and will definitely be returning again when we are in the area next. Thank you!

We had a fabulous time at Oak Lodge... it was a perfect get together. Clean shower and toilet block, lovely little basket of fruit, wine and water plus marshmallows in each tent. There are fridges in the caravan kitchen which you can use for milk etc. The children loved the rope swings, the pirate ship, the hidden plane, and the fact they could run all around the campsite without us having to worry about them - feral children who only came back when hungry or thirsty. People who worked there were very helpful and friendly. A really really relaxing fun weekend.

Owners have clearly thought everything through extensively to ensure your stay is comfortable, clean and enjoyable. Space between tents is great, kids area is fantastic (we didn't have kids with us but the aeroplane was cool!) Toilets and showers were clean and the tent was lovely and spacious. We were impressed with the plates, dishes, fruit, marshmellows, fire wood, charcoal, bbq, fire pit, bbq utensils, soap and toilet paper all included. Facilities on site were great with a shop and freshly made coffee with a variety of milks! Staff were all friendly and accommodating and wanted nothing more than for you to enjoy your stay. We will definitely be returning. Well deserved 5 star review.

Perfect getaway for me and my granddaughter age 7. Magical from the moment we arrived! Fairy lights and complimentary wine! We barbecued and fed the horses. Lazed and wandered! Went to Australia in the aeroplane ✈️ and tried to pluck acorns from the trees by swinging up really high! Best of all we waited until the sun went down then went on a torch walk checking out stars and moths. Great stay we will be back.
