 Our second visit to this site. Not a lot has changed and that's a good thing. It was a little boggy underfoot in places as there had been a lot of rain but the pitch we had this time (number 8) was dry enough for a tent.
The Reedham Ferry pub is still good - they appear to have gone a bit more upmarket in their food since last time we were here (2 years ago) - so none of the usual scampi and chips etc on the menu this time and the pub seemed busy with diners (not all from the campsite either). I would recommend booking at weekends.
We walked into the village - the previously smelly and run-down Lord Nelson pub seems to be having a face-lift which is good news because it's in a prime location. Shame it wasn't open but looks like it will be in a few months.
Facilities on the site are still good - clean showers, washing up area, freezer for ice blocks (and free to use too) and a washing machine and tumble drier. I'd be happy to come back again.

First visit to Norfolk and we where very pleased with the chosen site. Peace, quite and tranquillity. Very well laid out pitches with a good mix of tents, caravans and camper vans. Liked the fact that all types of camping units where mixed rather than the usual segregation.
Plenty of easily accessible water and electricity points. Toilet/shower facilities where very nice and modern, with under floor heating and time delay lighting.
The whole site seems aimed at nature/wildlife enthusiastes, so was perfect for us. We saw Barnsley Owls, Marshall Harriers, Marshall Titsey and Great Crested Grebes. And of course the resident Ducks, which are very friendly and greedy.
Access to the surrounding area is easy going north through the village or south back over the ferry. We didn't use the Reedham Ferry Pub as we thought it to be a little expensive, instead we used The Swan Inn, at Reedham Quay at the reedham village, which is only a 15 minute walk along the lane or a nicer walk along the river bank and footpath into the village.
I can echo the comments of others regarding the hooks in the showers but really not too much of an issue ( just wear shorts and flipflops). Also it was commented that the site could do with a child play area NO, NO, NO, I am a parent but this site is quite and peaceful and should stay that that way. There are Plenty of 'child friendly' sites. Although their are plenty of children who love wildlife and would enjoy and respect this tranquil area.
I never usually stay at any site more than once, because I like to stay somewhere different each time, but I think I would make an exception for Reedham Ferry.

A nice site, level with good sized pitches. This site is ideal if you want to relax as there is nothing here apart from the Ferry Inn which serves excellent food and is dog friendly. Site facilities are excellent.
The shower/toilet block is one of the best I have seen. Walks along the river Ysre are rewarded with nice views across miles of flat countryside. Norwich is about 30 minutes drive away for those who need a shopping fix.
Yarmouth too is not far. There is a small shop in Reedham. We will definitely use this site again.
I have one small gripe which could be easily fixed. The shower cubicles are large but each has only one small hook for your clothes, towel etc. More hooks are needed. Also a soap dish and a small stool per cubicle would be nice.

Lovely little site for a few nights with only a pub nearby. Modern shower and toilet block, washing facilities weren't great while we were there water was barely warm. 30 minute drive to Norwich park and ride, and the City was a lovely place to visit. In the opposite direction was a drive to the coast, the roads were single lane towards the coast but very quiet so not so much of a problem for us, coming across the Readham ferry with the Motorhome was fine, £4. 00. Non electric pitches were near a pond which might not be suitable for people with small children, ours 4, 6, 7 were fine and told not to go near the edge. Never really saw any staff had to go looking to pay someone in the adjacent pub. Cream tea in the pub was nice. Fishing ponds as part of the campsite and the river running by was ok to fish in too.

On arrival there was no-one about. Our name was left on a blackboard with our pitch number. We had a brilliant super-pitch with hook-up, water and grey waste drainage. The views were fantastic, across miles of open fields.
The site is right by the river and the pub is literally 150 paces from the pitch. The pub has a lovely raised paved area overlooking the river (which partly floods on a high tide), so it is great watching the boats going by and the ferry going from one side to the other.
Food is very good and the pub is very busy at weekends, especially when the weather is good. It is an ideal location for a peaceful, relaxing break.
However, while the 'new' toilet/shower block is fine (nowhere to put shampoo etc nor any seats in showers) the wash-up/laundry area can only be described as disgustingly neglected. There are huge cob-webs with loads of dead insects hanging from the corners.
The floor is littered with debris. The sinks are very dirty and littered with dead insects and dirt. One sink had a very gungy plug but no plug in the other one. How you are expected to wash up here is a real puzzle. And the one stainless steel drainer is so filthy you would not want to. The bin was not emptied the whole 6 days we were there.
Also while on this subject the dog bins were also not emptied in all that time and were overflowing. As one is hanging by the main entrance it does not create a very good impression a all. In all the time we stayed we saw no-one to raise our concerns with, as no-one connected with it seems to visit the campsite.
Therefore the area has a look of neglect. It is such a shame, as it's in a lovely location. It would take so little effort to rectify the situation and ensure ALL facilities are hygienically cleaned daily to an acceptable standard for people using the site. Perhaps for the owner or someone in authority to visit the site daily.

Our second visit to Reedham Ferry, and probably not our last. It's a small site in a remote but pretty spot, flat, good pitches, pretty much free range if non-electric, which we were. Very quiet spot, with walks along the River Yare and excellent food at the Reedham Ferry Inn. We paid for our camping at the inn, but didn't really see much of the owners during our stay. Facilities kept clean and tidy. Oddly no cold water in the new toilet block, that's about my only gripe.
Plenty of places for children to run about and explore, but if you don't have children, this site is probably best appreciated out of high season when it is quieter and the wildlife is more exciting. That said, there were barn owls to be seen flying over the fields at dusk.
Handy for exploring the whole of the Norfolk Broads by car, and lots of quiet little lanes for cycling. No shops in the immediate vicinity, probably something in Reedham but we didn't visit there. Norwich and Great Yarmouth are about half an hour away.

7 night stay on a 'premier' pitch on arrival find your name on a blackboard and find your pitch then pay in the pub.
We had pitch 22, which was ok, but quite uneven and squeezed into a corner near the new washblock.
Site is very quiet, and fairly well maintained but could be much nicer with a little effort.
No play area for children, and site would benefit from a small shop for groceries, milk, bread, etc
6 miles from Acle on a narrow winding B road.
Good site that could be so much better.

We've just returned from a week on this site and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It's peaceful and relaxing. The pub was lovely, staff very friendly and a large selection of beers. A lovely walk along the river through the marshes to reedham where there is another nice pub and post office that sells bread etc. The site is central for visits to great yarmouth, Norwich etc.
The only criticisms would be there is only one hanging hook in showers and you have to put shampoo, soap etc on the floor so maybe more hooks and a shelf.
We were a group of 4 adults but thought it might be nice if the children has somewhere to play so maybe a small play park on the non electric field.
Apart from those two minor points the site is perfection and we're already talking about dates for next year.

We have just spent 5 days at Reedham and would say if you like quiet sites this is the one for you. We really enjoyed our stay, good size pitches, nice toilet/shower block. The Pub next door has good food and a good selection of drink and with it being on the river side a very nice location. Also you can take your dog in the bar as long as on a lead and well behaved. Reedham village is a 15 min walk along the river bank and there is a post office/ shop and another pub which also does good food etc. There is a fishing Lake as well as the river with a good head of nice size carp and a smaller one with some Tench etc. If it had one problem which was very small but needs attending too is the lack of places to hang your stuff in the showers. There is only one coat hanger in each cubical which can be a problem. This being said what a nice site and we will be going back.

Just returned from a week at Reedham, lovely site and location overlooking the river Yare. Pitches are a good size and shower block was spotless throughout our stay. Pub located at entrance to site served up some fantastic food, would recommend the fish & chips. There is a nice walk along river into village of Reedham ( 20-30 mins) where there is another pub overlooking the river.
