Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Loved the open space and lovely views. Feels like wild camping, great host who made us feel welcome. No toilets or showers but that was absolutely fine for us. Water available a short walk from where we were pitched. Absolutely loved it. We will definitely camp again if we are in the area.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: This is such a remote location! Absolutely fantastic, you would expect as it is so close to Bury St Edmunds that you wouldn't get this feeling of seclusion. If you want to really get away, no phone signal, just to be by yourself....this is the place

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Decided to go for a spontaneous camping trip on my motorcycle. No one seemed to be there or answering the phone, but everything was open and it was about to start raining so I decided to find a spot and pitch up. No one came to bother me, it was very peaceful and I left early the next morning without seeing anyone again.

Liked: Absolutely no hesitation in this five star review, an excellent get away from it all wild camping experience. You genuinely feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, excellent host who is on hand to support but leaves you to it. Enjoyed so much that I already booked my next visit on the trip home!

Liked: Beautiful campsite. The pitch itself was next to a stream and isolated with no one in eyesight and very quiet. We managed to get a nice campfire going from firewood delivered to us by the farm. Like the description says, as close to wild camping as you can get.
