NESTLED on the North Norfolk Coast is a small glamping site set in a sprawling orchard with beach access.
Wild Luxury elevates camping to the next level with safari lodges located in 350acres of orchards, farmland and wild meadows, all within walking distance of Holme Dunes.
Wild Luxury was recently named by The Times as one of the most glamourous camping options in the UK[/caption]

The Times recently named the site in a roundup of the glamorous camping options across the UK.
The publication stated: “Wild Luxury is particularly perfect, offering easy outdoors access from the most comfortable in canvas living spaces.
“A handful of smart, spacious safari lodges — sleeping between six and ten — are dotted across two sites.
“One of them, Summerfield, is surrounded by woodland and birdsong, with possibilities for den-building and zip-wiring amid the trees, while Drove Orchards, near Holme Dunes, is a hop-skip from the sea, a nature reserve and great local pubs.”
Of the two camps, Drove Orchards is closer to the sea, with Holme Dunes just a 25minute walk away.
Each lodge at Drove Orchards sleeps between two and six people, with a double bed, two single beds and a cabin bed.
At the back of each lodge, there is also a washroom and a shower cabin.
And in the evening families can snuggle up around a firepit, which is available for hire.
For larger groups, the top field of the site also boasts three larger lodges, where up to 18 people can stay.
Kids won’t get bored either at the glamping site, with an onsite play area to explore.
Guests can also explore a yurt cafe, fish bar and restaurant, boutique shops, an apple barn and chicken coops.
At the slightly more secluded Summerfield Camp, guests can choose between two different lodge types – Serengeti (sleeps between two and six people) and Zambezi (sleeps between six and 10 people).
Inside, a wood-burning stove helps to keep the lodges warm and cosy and there is also a gas hob for cooking.
During the summer, guests can also opt to stay at Wild Camp exclusively, featuring several bell tents.
The camp is dog-friendly and is also close to the beach as well.
Little kids can have some fun in the open fields, and there is a play area with a zip line too.
One visitor said on TripAdvisor: “Our fourth year holidaying at Wild Luxury, fantastic setting, we watched deer within 20 metres of our bungalow.”
In October, a two-night stay in a lodge at Drove Orchards costs from £395.
And nearby is a sprawling beach, set in a nature reserve[/caption]
Heading down to the beach at Holme Dunes, visitors can explore a sprawling sandy beach where a Bronze Age timber circle called Seahenge was discovered in 1988.
Managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the National Nature Reserve also has many different habitats with different birds like wildfowl and wildlife, such as natterjack toads.
You might even spot some cattle or ponies grazing the dunes as well.
Alternatively, head to Brancaster Beach which is “one of the best of North Norfolk’s stunning beaches” according to Explore Norfolk.
The beach is surrounded by reeds and marshes and is a popular spot with people flying kites.
Right next to the glamping site itself, is The Old Store Thornham microbakery, selling fresh bread pastries, as well as coffees.
There is also a few nearby villages to explore with pubs and cafes[/caption]
Named one of Britain’s 50 Best Bakeries in the Good Food Guide 2025, you could indulge yourself with ‘The Old MonSTORE’ breakfast with double portions of sausage, back bacon, steaky bacon, free range eggs, black pudding, beans, hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes and sourdough toast for £21.
In the nearby village of Thornham, there is also the Thornham Deli where visitors can purchase homemade pickles, granolas and frozen meals.
Or head to The Lifeboat Inn for a classic pint.
If you don’t mind a drive, slightly further away is the Sandringham Estate with a country house with displays about royal life dating back to 1862.
Though it remains the country retreat for King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the estate is open throughout the year for visitors and it costs around £25 per person to visit.
Here are three more staycation spots in the eastern counties, from beautiful beaches in North Norfolk to Suffolk’s stunning food.
Plus, Norfolk is home to an unspoilt seaside resort with one of the ‘best beaches in the UK’, which even featured in a Hollywood blockbuster.
