As the festive season creeps closer and the world speeds up with shopping lists, party invites and flashing lights, there’s a peaceful alternative waiting in the heart of the Norfolk countryside: a winter caravan break at Priory Farm.
If you’re an adult campervanner craving quiet, open skies and the kind of stillness you can’t find in summer, this is your sign to pack your van, grab a flask, and head to Priory Farm for a much-needed escape. With winter pitches from just £24 per night including electric, there’s never been a better time to enjoy the Broads in their most serene state.
Why winter is the best-kept secret in caravanning
Winter caravanning might not be the most obvious holiday choice, but that’s exactly what makes it magical.
At Priory Farm, winter means misty mornings, frost-dusted grass, and uninterrupted countryside views. You’ll wake up to peaceful silence, spot deer in the distance, and enjoy the kind of slow, restorative pace that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Here’s what makes off-season camping so special:
- Fewer people, more peace: No queues, no noisy neighbours.
- Value for money: Our pitches start from just £24/night with electric included.
- Unique wildlife: From marsh harriers to wintering geese and even seal pups on the coast.
- Time for you: Read, walk, rest. All without pressure or plans.
If you’re looking to reconnect with nature (and yourself), winter is the perfect time to do it.
The adults-only difference
Let’s be honest: sometimes you want total quiet. Priory Farm is an adults-only site, which means:
- No screaming kids
- No midnight kickabouts
- No early-morning scooter races past your pitch
It’s just you, your van, the landscape, and maybe a robin or two hopping nearby.
Our guests tell us over and over again that the adults-only vibe is what keeps them coming back. It’s peaceful. It’s grown-up. And in winter, it’s exactly what you need to recharge.
Cosy comforts and festive touches
Winter doesn’t mean roughing it. In fact, it’s one of the most comfortable times to caravan when done right. Bring some creature comforts; fairy lights, thick blankets, a hot water bottle, and your van becomes your own personal winter retreat.
Add in some festive cheer with:
- A mini Christmas tree or some twinkling LEDs
- Mulled wine on the stove
- A day trip to one of Norfolk’s Christmas markets
- A frosty walk followed by a roaring pub fire
You can enjoy the spirit of the season without the chaos. It’s the perfect balance between festive and restful.
Seal pups, starry skies, and Broads beauty
One of the most magical parts of winter at Priory Farm? What’s going on in the landscape around us.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
Winter Wildlife
From late October to February, hundreds of grey seals give birth on Norfolk’s beaches. It’s a breathtaking sight, and one of the UK’s most remarkable natural events. Head to Horsey Gap or Winterton-on-Sea for a chance to see them from a respectful distance.
Starry Skies
Winter skies are some of the clearest you’ll see. With minimal light pollution, you’ll be amazed by what’s overhead. Bring a blanket, a flask, and lie back. It’s better than Netflix.
Peaceful Walks
Explore the Broads, wander Reedham’s riverside paths, or visit the quiet marshes at Berney Arms. It’s big-sky country with hardly another soul in sight.
If nature helps you feel grounded and refreshed, winter is the season to let it do its work.
A break before the break
Here’s the thing: the lead-up to Christmas can be exhausting.
So what if you took a break before the break?
A few quiet days in your van, parked up at Priory Farm, could be exactly what you need.
Even a two-night stay can work wonders. And with winter prices from just £24/night including electric, it’s a gift you can give yourself without breaking the bank.
What to bring for the perfect winter stay
Here’s a quick checklist to make your trip extra cosy:
✅ Extra layers and thermal socks
✅ A flask and supplies for hot drinks
✅ Twinkly lights or candles (battery-powered!)
✅ A blanket or two
✅ Binoculars for wildlife spotting
✅ Waterproofs, just in case
✅ Your favourite book or a good podcast
Comfort, warmth, and a touch of festive spirit. That’s all you need.
