Old Buckenham Country Park

A well-kept Norfolk country park built around a lake, lodge hot tubs, and a café with water views, honest convenience glamping for families and dog-holiday couples.

Old Buckenham Country Park sits in the quietly flat Norfolk countryside near Attleborough, organised around a lake whose views anchor the whole site. The OB Café opens onto a deck overlooking that water, which is the kind of detail that makes a stay feel considered rather than transactional.

The accommodation spread runs from standard touring pitches and tent grass to VIP lodges with their own hot tubs, decorated properly, not just a platform with a canvas lid on it. Families with young children have a play area and space to roam; couples after a quiet lodge break get the hot tub and the lake. Dogs are welcome throughout. The site is honest about what it is: a managed, sociable park with live music events and a booking calendar that runs year-round.

For a base to explore Norfolk, the position works well. Old Buckenham village is on the doorstep, pubs and local eateries sit within three miles, and the Norfolk coast is reachable for a day out. Woodland walks are accessible from the site. Norwich is a convenient run north.

Before you book

The exit road is poorly surfaced and has been flagged as unsuitable for towing a caravan in its current state, check before arriving with a tourer.
The on-site café does not open every day; confirm hours when booking.

“A reliable, well-facilitated Norfolk base that earns its following through lake views, properly equipped lodges, and staff who care. Not a wild escape, but a good one for families and couples who want comfort over character.”
