Below are the best areas, six holiday parks to book with us and the days out worth planning around. Norfolk sits in our East of England holiday parks, with Suffolk just over the River Waveney.
These self-contained resorts offer accommodation in caravans, lodges, holiday homes and sometimes glamping pods, with swimming pools, entertainment and restaurants on site.
You'll get more space than a hotel room. Your holiday home has separate bedrooms, a living area and your own patch of decking, and it's self catering, so eating in keeps costs down. Better still, you can pack the car with every home comfort you like, with no airport queues or luggage limits.
Sharing a static caravan or lodge with another family is one of the easiest ways to make a Norfolk short break cheaper.
Norfolk has around 90 miles of coastline. Six North Norfolk beaches (Cromer, East Runton, Mundesley, Sea Palling, Sheringham and West Runton) hold Blue Flag status for 2026, and lifeguards patrol the busiest stretches from late May to mid September.
The Royal Norfolk Show fills the showground near Norwich every June (24 and 25 June in 2026), while Cromer Carnival brings a parade, a funfair and fireworks to the seafront each August.
Norfolk is brilliant for kids, with sandy beaches for sandcastles, crabbing and rock pools, plus big days out at BeWILDerwood and ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure.
A family holiday park is built for them. There's usually a pool, a play area and an entertainment programme on site. It's a safe place for children to make friends while you put your feet up.
Most of our Norfolk holiday parks welcome dogs, and the walks are superb.
The Orange Tree in Thornham and The Gunton Arms near Cromer are both good for dinner with the dog. Check beach rules before you go. In Holkham National Nature Reserve, dogs must be on leads in the signed nesting areas from 1 April to 31 August, though over 70% of the beach stays open for off-lead walks under close control.
