- Quiet, family-friendly Suffolk site 15 minutes’ drive from Stowmarket
- Bury St Edmunds 25 minutes’ drive; the Suffolk coast about an hour
- Fishing lake and gear hire on site; shop and pub five minutes’ drive
When relaxation and peace – perhaps with a bit of fishing thrown in – is what’s required on a sojourn in rural Suffolk, Five Acre Holiday Camp fits the bill very neatly indeed. Set in the sleepy village of Wyverstone, the site is 15 minutes’ drive from the market town of Stowmarket and just over an hour by car from the coast, putting days out in Aldeburgh and Southwold on the sightseeing agenda.
Edged by sheltering trees and overlooking peaceful countryside, the spacious and dog-friendly camping field has a limited number of pitches, so there’s room for everyone to spread out. You also have access to a modern shower block at the edge of the field. Firepits and barbecues are allowed (bring your own or rent them from reception). There is also a fishing lake stocked with good-sized carp on site, with equipment hire available too.
Five Acre is handily located five minutes by car from Bacton, with a shop where you can pick up any self-catering essentials and a good food pub – if you want to make a night of it, it’s half an hour to walk back to the site.

Local attractions
Pretty market towns to discover locally include Stowmarket (15 minutes’ drive), where you can visit the bijou Museum of East Anglian Life or watch live music at the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts. Historic Bury St Edmunds (25 minutes) has a handsome old abbey to potter around and is fast becoming Suffolk’s epicurean centre; it’s home to a Michelin-starred restaurant as well as numerous pubs and global dining options.
Hikes and bike rides await in scenic countryside; you can walk along the River Stour in Dedham Vale National Landscape (35 minutes), and follow waymarked trails across heathland in Arger Fen and Spouse’s Vale Nature Reserve (50 minutes). If the kids get bored with walking, there are play areas and high-ropes courses in Thetford Forest (half an hour).
When you’re heading for the Suffolk coast, be sure to take a guided tour of The Red House in Aldeburgh, the former home of composer Benjamin Britten, or eat fish and chips on the pier at Southwold (both about an hour).
