  • Peaceful two-acre field a 10-minute walk from Stanton village, Suffolk
  • Bury St Edmunds 20 minutes’ drive; Lowestoft beach one hour
  • Dogs welcome; excellent stargazing; a five-minute drive from a winery
Bromptons Farm, on the edge of the village of Stanton (a 10-minute walk), is a top spot for a peaceful Suffolk holiday. Staying here puts you within easy driving distance of historic towns like Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) and Stowmarket (25 minutes), as well as woodland trails like those found in Thetford Forest (25 minutes). The region’s coast is a little farther, with beaches such as Aldeburgh (pebbly) and Lowestoft (sandy) about one hour’s drive away. The site has a two-acre meadow where you can set up freely – there’s no being slave to marked bays here. There’s heaps of room for the kids to run around, and the family dog will almost certainly wag its tail in excitement at the prospect of sniffing every little corner of this great big field. A toilet/shower block, charging facilities and recycling points sweeten the experience further. Hiking (and wildlife-viewing) highlights in the vicinity include the Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (15 minutes), with grazing wild ponies; and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust - East Wretham Heath Nature Reserve (25 minutes), where you might spot wading birds around the lakes, plus stoats and roe deer. If you need to stock up on grillables, Stanton has a couple of convenience stores, as well as a fish and chips shop for those who don’t fancy tending to hot coals all evening. You can also check out the restaurant at Wyken Vineyards or hit the pubs in Bardwell (both five minutes). After dinner, stretch out on the grass and take in the spectacle of the night sky – with such low light pollution here, stargazing is on a different level.

What customers say

This is a new, relaxed campsite with spacious pitches, offering beautiful countryside views and excellent stargazing opportunities. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the peaceful atmosphere, and the good value for money. While facilities were undergoing renovation, they were generally found to be clean and functional. The site is a short walk from local amenities and offers good opportunities for walks and cycling. Some minor issues like uneven ground and signage have been noted, but the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A nice small campsite with fairly flat pitches and lots of small trees so you can find privacy and shade. You can pitch up where you like which is always good. The owner sends a text on the morning with all the info you need.
2 clean toilets and 1 shower.
Great views of the countryside so nice for a few days of relaxing.
Overall had a nice stay here.

Disliked Site is a little messy and lots of pallets, old wood and stuff people has just left lying around in a heap near the entrance
The site has great potential but the messy entrance is a little off putting. A good tidy up of the site would give a much better first impression.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (water hook-up)

Liked I liked the simplicity of this site - it’s relaxed and has everything you need for a little night away. Both of the toilets and the shower were spotless. Pitches generous size and everyone there seemed to be friendly and to enjoy what it offers too. A lovely bit of Suffolk and within walking distance of the Leaping Hare for a treat evening meal. A pub within walking distance in the other direction too. Owner was friendly and responsive - sent helpful directions and info on the day of travel. Reasonable price for location. All good.

Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the whole place, 2nd visit and will return 👍
location is out the way an peaceful yet close enough to local amenities..the host is always friendly before arrival, during and after...always a nice touch to get a thank you for staying message. Nice peaceful location with plenty of camping options, nice to be able to have a fire/bbq too, showers and toilets on site make those hotter days easier after taking a cool shower 🚿
Plenty of places to walk and explore out of the campsite.
Wifi over the site is a bonus too.

Local attractions

The steam-engine age is alive and well at Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens (20 minutes), where you might take a ride on a narrow-gauge railway and climb aboard vintage engines. The ‘Dad’s Army’ displays ought to appeal to nostalgic TV buffs, while green-fingered visitors should check out the Japanese garden and ornamental ponds in the 17-acre gardens. An English Heritage property, the 12th-century Thetford Priory (20 minutes) was closed by order of Henry VIII in 1540. Its ruins now spread over a large area just north of the River Ouse. Thetford also has the Dad’s Army Museum and the Thetford Castle Mound, said to be Britain’s tallest medieval earthwork. Norfolk airfields witnessed plenty of action during World War II. Military museums in the area include the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum (25 minutes), housed in a former control tower; and the Red Feather Club 95th Bomb Group Museum (half an hour), which tells the story of a US Air Force team.
