General
- Pop-up campsite in rural Suffolk near Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds
- A 30-minute drive from Thetford Forest Park and Ipswich river cruises
- Playground and walks on site; pubs, shops and stately homes close by
Want to be in deepest countryside but close enough to a town for a spot of shopping or a night in the pub? Look no further than Whitehouse Farm, set in six acres of glorious Suffolk countryside, well away from roads and traffic noise and yet only 20 minutes’ drive to the pubs and indie shops of Bury St Edmunds.
This is also a super spot for kids, as there is a playground with climbing equipment on site and some fab family walks directly from the camping field – you can bring the pooches too but they need to be kept on leads please.
The pitches are located in the old orchard, where damson, apple, pear and greengage trees add to the scenery. Facilities are simple here but do include loos, showers, a water tap, a washing-up area and a laundry room.
Barbecues are available if you feel inspired to cook, and there's a communal firepit too. You can pick up supplies in Stowmarket (15 minutes’ drive) – and if not, well… those Bury St Edmunds pubs await.
