The Sheiling, at Cley, CAMC CL site 15 minute walk into Cley village or Cley Wildlife Trust visitor centre. Great views, facilities good including shower and the owners are really friendly.
Good pub and nice churches to visit.

A lovely county with a lot of narrow roads, but fortunately they tend to be lined with hedges rather than granite

Obviously there are the Broads as well as the coast: if you like to be near water in your van, perhaps you will be disappointed, as there are a lot of salt marshes and few beach-side roads. Parking beside broads can be done in a few places and many of the rivers meander across the countryside with moderately high banks.

Norwich is not a city to drive around in a MH but there are P&R sites. Most towns have markets which can be interesting BUT they take up parking spaces, so can cause minor problems if you want to visit one.

We live in a small village (Gressenhall) in the centre of Norfolk which has two CAMC CLs, a community pub and a small shop. It also has the Norfolk Rural Life Museum and Farm on the edge of the village: admission is approx £15. IF you like museums, you may wish to consider buying a Norfolk Museums Pass (approx £40) which would give you access to museums in King's Lynn, Cromer, Gt Yarmouth, Thetford as well as several in Norwich (although the castle keep is being upgraded, most of the displays, including the Gloucester, are available).

One of my favourite CLs is at Wells

great views and an easy walk into town.

A lot of THS sites have been cancelled because of waste disposal problems, so check carefully.

Wroxham.

Cromer has a CAMC which is walking distance in to Cromer that I stayed at.
Keelers Meadow in Sutton, 2 mile walk to Hickling Broad, 1 mile to the museum of the broads.
I stayed at a temporary site at St. John's School Hoveton. Short walk to Wroxham, so worth checking if this is open was perfect.
Great Yarmouth racecourse CAMC is good if you want to visit Great Yarmouth and the beach there.
Norfolk Broads CAMC site is near a nice pub and good if you want to walk along a river, easy 2-3mile circuit to st. Bennets Abbey.
Depending on where you are coming from, if you pass by IWM Duxford you can park there easily in their coach parking to visit for the day.
