Norwich is just a 30 minute walk. Set on the banks of a River Ware, anglers can access the water directly from the site. A great base from which to explore The Norfolk Broads. more info

A National Trust owned grass-site on the banks of the River Great Ouse. Perfect location for fishing, walking or cycling.

Footpaths and bridleways crisscross the area.

Watching the river traffic pass through the loch system is a relaxing way to pass a few hours. Boat trips are available if you forget to pack the canoe.

The river footpath leads to St Ives, where there are pubs and a few shops. Fresh bread is available from the mill across the water from the campsite.

Tents are allowed close to the river. Some caution is needed if arriving before 1pm as the access road is narrow, and kits leaving get priority. Best advice is arrive later.

Not among the best of sites for kids as facilities are limited.

Open from March to November. web link

VIEW: Pitches overlooking the Great River Ouse

Huntingdon Boathaven is surrounded by the Great River Ouse on two sides. Rare to come upon a pretty site so close to town (just a few minute walk to Huntingdon).

The A14 overhead is another strange feature, but the drone goes unnoticed after a few hours.

The toilets and showers are spotless.

We paid £15, which was good value at half-term with hook-up.

Perfect location for river lovers, walkers, cyclists, canoeists, anglers and campers who like to have pubs, supermarkets and restaurants on their doorstep.

The river is beautiful and full of colour during autumn.

The owners are helpful and friendly. Wi-fi at £5-per day is handy too.

A CL site on the Great Ouse River with electric hook-up, disabled access, WC and hot and cold water.

Access for motorhomes and caravans.

Dogs are welcome, although the site is not ideal for young children as the river is unfenced. From £11-a-night.

LAUNCH: Boat access to the River Waveney

.

There’s a lot to be said for activity holidays, but staying on a boatyard is right up there with my favourite, lazy past-times.

There’s nothing better than a nosy neighbour session from the privacy of a river-side pitch watching the traffic coming and going on.

Strangely, the Norfolk Broads aren’t blessed with water-side camps, so it’s nice to find a good one.

If you get the urge to take to the River Chet there’s an onsite slipway. For those without canoes, boat hire is available. There’s fishing too and dogs are allowed onsite.

The camping area itself is pretty small at ¼ acre, but that’s what I like about CLs.

Marinas tend to be quite good for facilities as they cater for boats that moor up. Here there’s electric hook-ups, battery charging and hot showers. Expect to pay anything from £10.
