Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
don't overcomplicate things, one of my fav things is to load the bike with camping stuff and just set off, no fixed plan, just petrol and time to use, ride until hungry or tired, you can find a camp site just about anywhere......

Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
Don't forget that your gear takes up half the size of a person.

Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
I've found it's useful to work on the presumption all your kit is wet, so you want room to stow it inside without having it against your sleeping space.

Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
Got the tent. Just ordered a blow up roll mat and have bought some luggage for the bike. I have one of those compact Trangia stoves.
Bought this luggage set: http://www.renntec.co.uk/iqs/cpti.11...l_luggage.html Didn't want anything overkill. The tent fits in the tailpack when its expanded. Just got to book a pitch for the night. Will set off Saturday lunch, ride up the coast to the site then home Sunday.

Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
I've not found a bike unfriendly one. The problem being on a bike is you take up 5% of the area a standard pitch provides. Campsites are used to an SUV, trailer and enough canvass to house an entire Syrian refugee camp. So you may end up paying way over the top.
I'm a fan of Youth Hostels with camping areas - you get to camp but use the facilities. They're a nice 'break in' for those who haven't done bike camping before. |

Re: Bike friendly campsites in Norfolk?
If you mean Easter as in the meat run, then I may be attending if you lot would sort out a date!
