Welcome to Canal Camping, a beautiful and peaceful campsite in the heart of the Norfolk Broads

Located in Dilham, Norfolk, our tucked away campsite is nestled among the water, the reeds and the beautiful skies. Canal Camping caters for those that are looking for a relaxing, natural adventure, with the added bonus of being able to walk out of your tent, launch your canoe not far away and drift along one of the countryโ€™s most unique canals.

After a long day exploring this beautiful part of Norfolk, come back to your camp for hot showers, clear skies for star-gazing, open campfires for toasting marshmallows, and fantastic pubs within walking distance.

What more could you ask for!?

โœจ๐ŸŒฟ Happy New Year ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

We are super excited to welcome you to our little piece of paradise Canal Camping here in Dilham, Norfolk.

We are honoured to be home to the only Canal here in Norfolk, and invite you to join all of its rustic and impressive charm. Drift along on a canoe or paddle board and join kingfishers, otters, dragon fly, swallowtail and swans, while exploring and discovering all of its diversity on our canal. 

We have 8 acres of wonderful flat grassy pitches for you to pitch your tent or park your camper and three fully furnished all singing all dancing bell tents for the glampers among us ๐ŸŒฟ 

With no electric hook up, our campsite benefits from being in an area with extremely low light pollution, and the sky on a clear summer's night is truly a wonder one should experience more often. The Milky Way and myriad constellation's are on fine display, any of you are lucky enough you can catch a shooting star or two!

Out & about

Dilham is situated in East Norfolk, on the northern tip of the broads. In the 19th century the canal was constructed from Wayford Bridge to Antingham. Agricultural products were carried along the canal by distinctive wherries, which sadly never proved a success. Today parts of the canal are being restored to their former beauty, while other parts have not changed for more than 100 years.

Dilham is on the River Ant just off the A149 road, near Stalham. The name comes from the extensive fields of dill, a herb which was grown commercially here.

Dilham Canal is the limit for powered craft. Youโ€™re welcome to paddle if you pay a toll.
