Details
Deepdale Camping is a quiet, family-friendly campsite located by the sea in the beautiful North Norfolk countryside. We have 75 pitches suitable for tents, campervans and motor homes (sorry, no caravans!) set in 5 well-maintained grassy paddocks, with a mix of standard and larger pitches.
We are currently investing in brand new facilities for 2017, including 16 amp electric hook-up connections, chemical toilet disposal and additional toilet and shower blocks, together with enhanced hedging and landscaping for the paddocks.
The campsite is open all year round, and the great new team in our Visitor Information Centre are there to help with every aspect of your stay with us; from enquiries and bookings, to welcoming you on arrival, helping answer any queries you may have, and providing you with helpful and knowledgeable advice on the local area to help you decide what to see and do during your stay. We have a well-stocked camping shop for essentials you might need, and a range of replacement gas bottles should you run out.
There is Free Wi-Fi on site to help you remain connected to the wider world should you wish, together with mobile device charging facilities, laundry and drying and modern toilets and showers, all powered by 100% renewables-generated electricity.
Please do understand we are a quiet campsite, and so if you are looking for a party site, this isn't the place for you. We do have a strict 'no noise' policy after 10pm in the evening to ensure everyone can enjoy the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere of Deepdale to the full. We don't accept bookings for groups of 3 or more pitches, and we have a maximum number of people per pitch of 5, to ensure the facilities do not become over-crowded.
Where possible we have used green technologies to reduce our environmental impact. 100% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources; the campsite is accessible via public transport using train services to and from King's Lynn and the Coasthopper bus service, and we are currently investing in electric car-charging points.
The campsite is located in the village of Burnham Deepdale, on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the saltmarshes are spectacular; there is wonderful walking right on the doorstep, with abundant bird and wild life; the big open skies are breath-taking (with our night skies truly awe inspiring!); the Coasthopper bus, which stops at the campsite, will help you explore the entire North Norfolk coastline from King's Lynn to Cromer; bike hire is available on-site with nearby access to the National Cycle Network at Burnham Market. The North Norfolk Coast is an outdoor enthusiasts' paradise offering water sports and outdoor activities of every sort, beautiful beaches and historical buildings, so you can be as active as you want. Of course, you might just like to chill out and relax on the campsite or try one of our superb local pubs serving local beers and excellent seafood.
Deepdale Café is located next door serving fantastic breakfasts, lunches and snacks throughout the day, using local producers and suppliers wherever possible.
Dalegate Market has a range of shops including a supermarket for groceries and provisions, permanent shops open throughout the year, and pop up shops that change weekly.
The village has two great pubs, The Jolly Sailors and The White Horse, both within walking distance and serving locally produced ales and home cooked food.
The campsite is open all year round, including Christmas and New Year, so whether in Winter or Summer, Spring or Autumn, your stay at Deepdale is a unique opportunity.
Onsite is Dalegate Market, a small shopping centre including supermarket, café (serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea), Fat Face clothing store, gift shops, jewellery, gallery, wildlife watching equipment, pop up shops and occasional markets. In the village are two pubs, both serving lunch and evening meals. The CoastHopper bus service links with many activities and attractions including Sandringham Estate, Holkham Hall, beaches, salt marshes, harbours, sailing areas. There are suppliers of most watersports locally, including kiting, kite surfing, sea kayaking, canoeing and sailing. There is excellent bird watching in the local area including RSPB Titchwell Marshes, Holkham Nature Reserve, Norfolk Wildlife Trust Holme and Cley Marshes. Children welcome from any age.

Most of the A149 coast road is ok to cycle and there are lots of quiet country lanes inland. From the East (Burnham Market direction), the easiest route is over Whiteway Road. From the West (Docking & King's Lynn direction), the easiest route is down Dalegate Lane. National Cycle Route No1 passes a couple of miles inland. Remember you can hire bikes from Deepdale Bike Hire.
