Enjoy the stunning Broads and vast open beaches of Norfolk with your pet by your side. Bring your furry friend to our Norfolk caravan park and they are well and truly along for the adventure, whether you stay in a holiday home or camp under the stars with us.

Why Norfolk gets dogs’ tails wagging?

In Norfolk, you’ll discover numerous year-round dog-friendly beaches and welcoming pubs like the Greyhound Inn and the Nelson Head. This makes it effortless to explore the North Norfolk coast with up to two furry companions.

One of our favourite local landmarks is the Norfolk Broads, where you can embark on a delightful adventure cruising through the tranquil waterways, with your loyal friend by your side.

Pitch up with the dogs at Waxham Sands Holiday Park

What’s a Great British touring or camping holiday without your furry friends? This is precisely why Waxham welcomes up to two dogs per touring and camping reservation. They will love stretching all four legs along Horsey Gap’s dog friendly sands.

Unleash the adventure

Our top three, local Norfolk dog walks you can do from our park:

  1. Exploring National Trust’s Horsey Windpump
  2. Strolling Martham Broad National Nature Reserve
  3. Wandering Hickling Broad

Also take dogs to the beaches at Horsey or Sea Palling, which are dog friendly most of the year. Or why not hop across the sand dunes behind our park in Waxham to see the seals? There’s every reason to bring dogs to our caravan park.

Lovely campsite, nice pitches: decent size and flat. So much attention to detail – the little touches that made our holiday even better!

FAQs: Dog friendly caravan holidays in Norfolk

Still got questions about bringing your pup to Norfolk? Find the answers to frequently asked questions here.

    Does it cost extra to bring my dog on holiday to Norfolk?

    This varies by park and accommodation type, so it’s worth checking at the time of booking. Some parks apply a small additional charge to cover extra cleaning between stays, ensuring every pitch or holiday home is fresh and comfortable for the next guests, whether they’re travelling with a dog or not.

    Do I need to book my dog-friendly holiday park stay in Norfolk early?

    Yes, it’s worth booking well ahead, particularly for peak summer dates or the winter seal season around Horsey, when demand for nearby accommodation picks up noticeably. Booking early gives you the best choice of dates and pitch or accommodation type.

    When’s best to go on a dog-friendly caravan holiday in Norfolk?

    Spring and autumn are lovely for quieter beaches and comfortable walking weather, while winter has its own special draw: Horsey Gap’s grey seal colony, which pups on the beach from late autumn into winter. Summer offers the longest days for the coast, though it’s worth booking ahead, as this stretch of Norfolk gets popular in peak season.

    Which pubs in Norfolk are dog friendly?

    Plenty. Reefs Bar in Sea Palling welcomes dogs inside and out, right by the beach, and The Nelson Head in Horsey is a firm favourite after a seal-spotting walk, with a large beer garden and a warm welcome for well-behaved dogs. Further into the Broads, pubs in Horning and Hickling are also known for a good dog friendly welcome.

    Where can I go on a short break in Norfolk with my dog?

    East Norfolk is a brilliant base for a dog friendly weekend break, with Waxham, Horsey, Sea Palling and Happisburgh all within easy reach of one another. You can pack a seal-spotting walk, a beach day and a pub lunch into a single weekend without much driving between any of them – ideal if you’re after dog friendly breaks in Norfolk that don’t require a long car journey each day.

    What are some dog friendly places to visit in the Norfolk Broads?

    The Broads are wonderfully dog friendly – think riverside walks around Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere and the windpump, or a stroll through Ranworth to the staithe. Many of the waterside pubs dotted along the Broads (Horning and Hickling both have good options) welcome dogs after a walk, making it easy to build a whole day around the water without leaving the dog behind.

    Which holiday parks in Norfolk are dog-friendly?

    Our own Waxham Sands Holiday Park welcomes dogs across its touring, camping and glamping options, right on the doorstep of Waxham Beach, Horsey Gap and Sea Palling. 

    If you’re considering something more permanent, Golden Beach Holiday Park offers dog friendly holiday home ownership in Sea Palling itself, and Azure Seas, just over the border in Suffolk, is another owners-only option worth knowing about.

    Are there any dog-friendly holiday parks in Norfolk?

    Yes – Norfolk has a great choice of dog friendly holiday parks, particularly along the east coast and around the Broads. Policies vary by park and accommodation type, so it’s always worth checking pet rules before booking, but dog friendly holidays in Norfolk are very much the norm rather than the exception these days.
