Go Wild Camping at mYminiBreak sits directly adjacent to High Lodge Thetford Forest on a 40-acre private site — tent pitches, motorhome spaces, glamping yurts and bell tents at the forest edge. Go Ape and the full trail network are a five-minute walk from your pitch.
Thetford Forest is England’s largest lowland pine forest — 47,000 acres of ancient woodland, wide gravel trails, Go Ape zip wires, mountain bike tracks, and the kind of silence you can actually hear. It draws families, cyclists, runners, dog walkers and wildlife lovers from across the UK.
And when the day ends, most of them drive home.
At Go Wild Camping & Glamping at mYminiBreak, you don’t have to. Our site sits directly adjacent to High Lodge Thetford Forest Activity Centre — meaning you can finish a ride, walk back through the trees, and be in a camp chair with a drink before the car park has emptied.

Why Camp in Thetford Forest Rather Than Just Day Trip?
The forest at 6am — before anyone arrives — is a different place. Deer cross the trails. The woodpeckers start before the cyclists. The morning mist sits low over the clearings. You will not see any of that on a day trip.
The same is true in the evening. High Lodge hosts Forest Live, the Forestry England open-air concert series that runs every summer. Staying on-site means no long drive home in the dark, no rushing to leave before the last set.
