Victoryv Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We are having friends visit whilst we are aboard our boat, they are arriving by camper van and looking for somewhere to stay close to the river, can anybody recommend a good location ?

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Gale Riverside at Loddon. only 5 pitches, but a stunning location right opposite Pye`s Mill moorings, and a 5 minute walk into Loddon / Chedgrave. I`m not sure of any others, with the exception of WRC, but there`s a lot going on with Glamping Pods, Log cabins, tents etc etc, and can get VERY busy.

Smoggy Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 No facilities other than electric but surlingham ferryhouse is usually fine with campers if you call them first, you won't get much closer to the river. The reedcutters at cantley is another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoryv Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Cheers for that, I should have said northern rivers in my post, we will be on the southern rivers in our first week (first time ever we have two weeks holiday) and will be visiting Loddon so will wander over and check it out for future visits. My wife retired from work on Friday, on Monday we do the final spec on a camper van conversion that should be complete early November. It will have a garage in the back for two motorbikes, I am looking forward to pottering about on my old bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and cake will be served at a mooring of your choice probably around the weekend? Jaki is driving up Friday for a few days especially so we can come to wherever you land. Chloe Jane is fuelled ready and keen for a trip out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaniaman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Caravan Club site at Ludham Bridge, good full facilities site. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCL023 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hey you. There are always many camper vans where we more in Wroxham at Landamores, (the old P&H site). They are right next to the river, from what I know come with electric hook-up along with use of the facilities. Not sure they will get much closer to the river than these... These must be popular as we see may folks returning again and again. I don’t have the number with me at present but I’m sure Landamores website mentions them?

Cal Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 You will find that most of the pubs will be happy to let them use their car park provided they use the pub. There is a site called Britstops which lists the ones that definitely allow this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Make sure whatever you plan has hard standing. With the recent rain you don't want to try driving a camper onto grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Are they memberes of the Caravan and Motorhome Club ? A number of the recomendations are 'members only' sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
