  • Dog-friendly meadow with country views on a family-run working farm
  • A 15-minute drive from Sudbury market town; 35 minutes to Dedham Vale
  • Camping essentials shop on site; secure dog-walking field for a fee
Making plans to get away to the countryside? The country views are splendid at Clarks Farm Camping. The well-maintained six-acre grass meadow has views over the Suffolk countryside, as well as fresh running water, toilets and showers. Eggs for breakfast? The site is set on a family-run working farm, so the family can supply you with eggs from their chickens for an additional fee. There's also a shop selling camping essentials, so have a browse to see if they have any of the little things you may have forgotten to pack. For other meals, within a 10- to 15-minute drive of the farm, there are handfuls of pubs with good food menus in the local villages, including Long Melford, Wickham St Paul, Clare and Castle Hedingham. The market town of Sudbury is also a 15-minute drive away, with good food venues, theatre shows and boat trips running along the river Stour. If you don’t go anywhere without a furry pal, good news just in – Clarks Farm is dog-friendly. For an extra fee, there is a secure, private dog-walking field at the farm. There are good country walks along the footpaths in the local area.

What customers say

This is a spacious, quiet, and peaceful campsite set in beautiful rural surroundings. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful hosts, clean facilities including hot showers, and the ample space available. Wildlife and the farm atmosphere are highlights for many. While some note the limited number of toilet/shower facilities could be an issue when busy, others found them perfectly adequate. Occasional farm machinery noise is mentioned as a minor point.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Love the scenery and quiteness of the campsite.
I was taking to the owner of the campsite and she adding more facilities like more toilets and showers as its getting busier!

Disliked The shower tray was flooded and you had bit of a problem drying your feet to put your shoes on.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Fantastic facilities and gracious host. Great casual camping spot.

Bell tent

Liked Excellent toilet and shower facilities for what is essentially just a field. plumbed and electric, available 24/7. clean drinking water and washing station. Gorgeous views, gracious and chatty host. Highly recommend staying here. The bell tents are so well out together, it was safe and warm the whole time.

Disliked Nothing? Maybe it would be nice to know what kind of animals are in the area, I can see kids getting spooked by all the noises at night, but we had a wonderful time.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very quiet rural location - had a really “get away from it all” feel. Beautiful large camping field and spotless toilets. Showers also very clean but looked to be rather cramped. Drinking water tap from owner’s borehole. Sadie the owner met me on arrival and was very welcome and helpful. Really enjoyed my peaceful overnight stay.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely messages and welcome from Sadie.Pitch was very peaceful.Toilets and shower were very clean.I came for a concert at Lavenham so just 1 night was OK.

Disliked We would bring our caravan if there was an electric hook up.Also we found water cold at the wash up so had to boil the water on our gas stove.
