  • Peaceful back-to-basics camping in the Suffolk countryside
  • Framlingham 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to the coast at Southwold
  • Rope swings and space to play or light campfires; pub 10 minutes' walk
Peaceful open meadows. Campfire evenings. Space for kids to play on rope swings in the trees. Village pub a short walk away through the woods. If you’re looking for a traditional camping experience under the big Suffolk skies, you’ll likely be very pleased with the setup at Little Klabang Camping Farm. This family-friendly site is all about back-to-basics camping – the 12 acres of former apple orchard have simple facilities (just toilets and showers) and plenty of space for kids to run about, play on the rope swings and discover nature. You're very much encouraged to step away from technology here, light a campfire (wood is available to buy on site, or you can bring your own) and have a friendly chat. To help that peaceful atmosphere thrive, amplified music is banned on site, although the site occasionally hosts music events. So, this is a very serene setting – but it's a convenient one too, on the edge of the village of Laxfield. That means a well-stocked shop and a couple of village pubs within 10 minutes’ walk, plus bus stops for journeys to Framlingham and Ipswich. There are plenty of quiet lanes and paths around for days of walking and cycling, village pubs to try out, and a good number of things for the kids to do nearby. Suffolk seaside towns like Southwold and Aldeburgh are about half an hour's drive away.

What customers say

This campsite offers a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere with a natural, secluded feel. Pitches are generally good-sized and private, set within an orchard and wooded areas. Facilities like toilets and showers are frequently described as clean and well-maintained, with plenty of hot water. The location is a highlight, with easy walking access to village amenities, pubs, and local walks. Dog-friendliness and the allowance of campfires and BBQs are also appreciated. However, some visitors experienced issues with facility cleanliness, occasional shortages of toilet roll, and a lack of clear check-in procedures. A few reviews noted significant disruptions from loud music events.

Main Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Laid back feel
Good size pitches
Friendly atmosphere
Lovely location for a walk into the village near coop and 2 pubs
Dog friendly

Disliked Toilet roll needs to be replenished more frequently or a large commercial size dispenser needs to be installed as they ran out frequently which isn’t the best!

Hot water was a bit temperamental at the washing up sink

Could do with cutting back a few of the thorny branches which overhang the main route to toilets and also overhanging on pitches

Liked It is a lovely campsite set in an old orchard with lots of apple trees and blackberry bushes hidden around. There are lovely walks straight from the campsite, it is pet friendly and all the facilities are clean and well looked after.

Liked Great location near village

Disliked Was very cramped and busy so we gave up and left. We had booked it as it was described as peaceful so it was not as described. We pile be great if you’re looking for a busy campsite where you can pitch up as a large group

Main Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Really loved this place! Had a great atmosphere, loved the informailty of it. Often campsites have so many rules they may as well have a sign up saying "no fun allowed",but not this place. Has a very cool and unique bar on site as well as a food van which did excellent food and were able to cater to a severe nut allergy. We will 100% return again and recommend to all of our friends. We may even return again this year as we loved it so much. They were very accommodating to us, thank you for a great weekend!

Local attractions

Suffolk is great walking and cycling territory, as the land is fairly flat and there are lots of scenic paths around (plus several lovely country pubs along the way for refreshments). You may also like to take a stroll around Framlingham (15 minutes' drive) to see the castle and Saturday market, or head to Woodbridge (half an hour) for pretty streets, an independent cinema and boat trips on the river Deben. The Suffolk coast is equally excellent, whether you head to the famous pier, colourful beach huts and Adnams brewery in Southwold, explore arty Aldeburgh or take a peaceful wander through National Trust-owned land at Dunwich Heath and Beach. All are about half an hour's drive. For family days out, you can meet exotic beasts at Camel Park Oasis (15 minutes), coo at the cute animals of Easton Farm Park (20 minutes) or play at being knights at Orford Castle (half an hour). Sutton Hoo (35 minutes) also makes a good day out, as does a trip to Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park (an hour).
