"We are a working farm producing mainly free-range eggs, potatoes and sugar beet. We operate a small farm shop selling our produce and a camping and caravan site. We are open all year round.
The farm is surrounded by woodland and we have plenty of space for our visitors. Children and pets are always welcome. We aim to run a caravan site which is quiet, spacious and basic, ideal for families and independent travellers, offering a welcome change from busy, noisy, larger sites"

'Just got back from taking my 2 kids for a first time camping trip over the Easter hols to Breck Farm in Weybourne. The trip was fantastic. The camp site lets you have a camp fire with woods surrounding the site to let you have access to free fire wood. The facilities are basic but they do for a weekend. The farm sells potatoes and eggs - fried eggs for brekkie and jacket pots for dins - yum! For other supplies Sherringham is near. And on the drive there you will probably see the fab steam train which is in operation near by. Sherringham doesn't have a big supermarket (which I like) so you buy your bread from the baker, your fruit from the grocers etc.
Back to the site - We had great neighbours with four children - who were so friendly. The kids all played happily. And their mum and dad lent tools and gave advice and even kindly gave a hand made tool to us for getting tricky tent pegs out of the ground. There was a real mixture of people at the site young teenage boys, couples, birthday party group, families... All got on fine - with NO trouble what so ever. There was some music around the place which always went down in volume as the sun went down.
The kids were able to have so much freedom due to the feeling of security at the site. They loved the adventure trail in the woods, playing out in the dark and I even got them doing all the washing up!
We had such a great time I am going back there for my birthday with my sister and her 2 yr old and my 19 yr old brother. And I am trying to get my parents to camp for the first time in 30 yrs! '
Happy Camping

Breck farm is really lovely - we had a really super time. The owners are friendly and helpful and the surrounding brilliant.
BUT - the showers and facilities are dismal. £1 for a 5min hot shower is more than a little steep - IF there is hot water and assuming you are happy to queue for 1 hour or get up at 6am. The site was really busy and very noisy - so while a very handy location and fab woods for kids to play in - be aware there are only 4 showers - one doesn't work - and only 4 loos for ladies and 2 for men. It was not unusual to have to queue for upwards of 45 minutes for the toilets - not the best with desperate kids. No washing up sinks either - and only one basin with running water.

We arrived at Breck farm on the Thursday before the August bank holiday weekend. A very friendly welcome with free range chickens and dogs,cows and a horse in a field watching the world go by. No rush no hassle, calm and tranquil. Huge fields to camp where ever we wanted to pitch our tent. Lots of fire wood pre bagged for sale ready for the wonderful camp fire. Unfortunatley by Friday afternoon there were at least another 1000 other campers which totally conjested the toilet and shower facilities as mentioned in pschwartz's review!!! A great site off peak.

We stayed here over August Bank Holiday and it was lovely. Its a huge space surrounded by woods, kinda in the middle of nowhere. We had campfires every night and the campsite sold the most delicious eggs and pink potatoes. The showers and toilets could have been better, but I guess that's camping for you! And they did provide toilet paper. Actually for unprepared campers like us this campsite was great, the owners were really helpful and even lent us a torch. One criticism, why not sell a whole pack of firewood, paper and kindling all together, rather that in separate bits, which everyone sells for different prices? Just a thought. But we had a fantastic time, going around North Norfolk on bike (bike hire next door at Keeling Heath- book in advance). 7/10

Breck Farm is the perfect site for real down to earth camping. Camp fires, late night jamming, happy muddy kids and just a short drive to the beach. Forget the world and join a new planet of carefree existence at a wonderful family farm. The owners are extremely kind and welcoming and don't be surprised if you find the odd massive potato left by your tent! Or to have a chicken pass by to see what your doing. It is a beautiful place for children, where they can explore and enjoy a proper childhood, getting filthy playing and adventuring with dozens of other children, climbing trees, taking lovely long walks, bathing in little paddling pools and then flopping into bed at the end of a full day, plotting tomorrows exploits. This is somewhere for anyone whos prepared to muck in and just enjoy the quiet, the beautiful scenery, the stunning night sky and the slow gentle early mornings. Don't expect any luxury, leave that for when you get home. Just enjoy living free. Thank you Breck Farm for making our Summer holidays such a pleasure that our children talk about all year. I have been answering the childrens question "when are we going to Breck Farm again?" since the day we left! xxxxx
